Highlands Cinema

Reviewed By luvin_travel - Canada, null

This is a unique experience! This is not JUST a movie theatre- it is 5 unique theatres, where the seats, curtains, wall adornments were saved from old theatres that were torn down! Take a trip back in time- not just in the theatres themselves but in the winding hallways that connect them. Keith Stata has displayed a myriad of memorabilia flowing back through the decades. Be regaled by the movie posters of yesteryear and marvel at the most extensive collection of movie projectors that you’ll ever see! Plan time to visit this museum before your movie! This is one of the places YOU MUST SEE when visiting in North Kawartha Lakes or Halliburton. Located on highway 121, just north of Kinmount.

For my wife's birthday, I brought her to Lift Lock Escape with her family. We chose the outdoor Escape Adventure and were so glad we did! It was a fantastic experience! We received a great refresher course on the history of Peterborough as we solved various clues. We noted sites here in our hometown that we had not ever noticed previously despite having lived here for most of our lives. The route was varied, the length of it just enough. The puzzles themselves were difficult to challenge us, yet not so difficult that we thought of giving up. The creator of this Escape Room was very friendly, incredibly helpful, even providing reading glasses (we had forgotten ours) and a mask as well as one of our family members had forgotten theirs. We all highly recommend Lift Lock Escape as a fun, adventurous inexpensive and fulfilling way to spend an afternoon.

Escape Maze

Escape Maze is a live, interactive game that tests your wits, teamwork and powers of observation. You and your teammates enter a room and the door is locked behind you. Through a series of puzzles and riddles, you must find the key and escape the room before time runs out.

Great time out. My daughter booked this for my birthday outing. Even tho there was snow on the ground, and the weather was chilly, we had a blast. We did the Gold Rush maze, and found it just hard enough, and easy enough, that my grandson could help with the puzzles. Our family had a mid afternoon booking and we finished just as the sun was going down which for me added to the adventure. Would definitely recommend for a family day out, or a birthday with the kids. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and a pleasure to chat with. Be sure to dress for the weather and woods tho. We plan on heading back up in the new year to try another adventure since this one was so amazing.
