I found this park very relaxing, it has a pond with ducks, some people are fishing, some are just taking a walk around , others are doing photo shoots, or just enjoy the nature and watching for the sunset. It is easy to find and about 15 minutes from downtown Chandler. Great for family with kids or elderly people.
5. ESCAPE:chandler
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 16 reviews
We are a new, family-friendly escape room venue, the first of its kind in Chandler, Arizona. We are family-owned and independently operated. We developed a love of playing escape rooms as a family, and thought it was just not right that Chandler didn't have one of it's own, so here we are! We also host corporate team building events, private parties, birthday parties, meetings and family functions! If you aren't sure what the heck an escape room is (also known as quest or breakout game), it is an interactive live adventure game in which players discover hidden clues and unravel puzzles in order to solve a mystery and exit the room in 60 minutes (or less!). Each of our rooms has a theme or background story that will keep you engaged and entertained. Our rooms are all family friendly, and provide a great way to spend some quality time together. So bring your family, friends, and co-workers to ESCAPE:chandler. We promise that no matter what your age, you will have a great time!

We had a great time at Escape: Chandler! The staff were nice, professional, and helpful. We did the cabin room and can’t wait to go back and try another experience! We made it out with just 33 seconds to spare!!! We will be talking about this for weeks! A great place for couples, birthdays, and family! It checks all the boxes and more!

10 of us got together to have a fun night at escape room and it truly delivered. Outbreak had something for everyone to do and it kept us all busy the whole time. Our host Joe was helpful and kept the game going at a great pace. We were able to escape the room and loved every minute of it. I highly recommend this experience with some friends and can’t wait to go back.
