Curling Experience - by Management





Description
During the "Awesome Curling" or "Curling 4 Ever" experience, Nick or one of his colleagues takes a small group of customers on the ice equipped with brooms and sliders to discover the history, rules and practice of curling, a sport brought to Canada by Scottish emigrants. The high-level principle is rather similar to Lawn Bowling or Petanque with the difference that the trajectory of the stone sliders can be influenced by ice-sweeping teammates. Trivia: the Royal Montreal Curling Club was established in 1807 and is the oldest established sports club still active in North America.
Access & Transport
The venue is the Mount Royal Curling Club located at 5 Montgomery Avenue Town Mount Royal. The Université-de-Montréal metro station (blue line) is 2.5km away (30 mins walk) so it is best to drive there or share a taxi if coming as a group.
Instructions & Recommendations
For a full refund, you must cancel at least 24 hours before the experience’s start time.
Environmental & Social
Supports small, independent operators. No incremental carbon footprint
