The 10 Best Fun Activities & Games in Alexandria, Virginia (VA)

September 29, 2021 Dorsey Hagwood

A short Metro ride from Washington DC, Alexandria, Virginia is the perfect escape from the fast-paced capital. First settled in 1695, the city retains its colonial spirit, with cobblestone streets and historic buildings in the Old Town, Gadsby's Tavern, a restaurant serving food since 1770, and centers of learning like the Black History Museum. For a more contemporary side of Alexandria, wander the streets of the stylish Del Ray neighborhood, where local artists operate boutiques and studios.

This was a super fun room for us to do since we are all huge fans of Sherlock Holmes, whether the Steven Moffat version or the 1880s version written by Sir A.C. Doyle. Think you can utilize the Science of Deduction better than the master? Try this room and find out! Don’t keep Sherlock waiting...

I’ll start out by saying Grandma and I didn’t climb however all 5 of the grandkids loved it. It helped that my son and daughter in law are experienced - this center has classes for all ages and skill levels. What a great experience.

The location is easy to get to on METTO's Yellow line. Large number of screens, including IMAX. Restaurants are convenient for before or after meals. The only drawback is that concession lines can be long and take awhile since many products are offered.
