Paws & Pins is Anthro Niagara's first announced event, bringing a furry social night to Kingpin St. Catharines on October 16, 2026. The format is deliberately flexible, with bowling, mini-golf, arcade games, a fursuit lounge, and room to socialize at your own pace.
The event runs from 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM. Registration, badge pickup, the lounge, and the social area open at 4:00 PM, while the VIP bowling block runs from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Mini-golf is available during the evening, and the arcade and food options are part of the venue's public facilities.
Attendees can wear a fursuit or come in everyday clothes. The organizer provides changing space, storage, fans, water, and a quiet area for attendees who need a break.
Buy a ticket through the official Anthro Niagara event page. Standard admission is CAD 50. The CAD 75 Supporter ticket adds a badge upgrade and a keychain. Both tickets include the VIP bowling block, one mini-golf round, an arcade credit, a badge, and a discount on food and non-alcoholic drinks.
The official page also lists optional arcade-credit upgrades. Check the ticket page before paying because those add-ons are separate from admission.
Kingpin St. Catharines is at 221 Glendale Ave, St. Catharines, Ontario L2T 2K9, inside Niagara Pen Centre. The venue's official contact page provides the address and phone number. A hotel group rate is offered through the organizer after registration.
