We had an opportunity to take the soon to be groom to an Escape Room the day before his wedding! We were greeted with a big smile. We ran a few minutes late and were thankful that the owner was kind enough to still give us the full time for the room. We did the Bank Heist room and were pleased with the elements in the room. We were a little nervous with a 30% success rate but we still ended up completing the room! We had a blast and continued discussing the room for days. You won't be disappointed in any of the rooms that are offered here! Have a blast, hopefully you make it out before the time runs out! Enjoy!

Reviewed By ikeee5 - Westfield, United States

My son and I brought his two children tubing who are 6 and 4. We thought that they would be scared but they absolutely loved it! The amusing thing was that my son and I each went down once and decided not to do it again. I am almost 60. He was getting ready to leave for a training and was worried he might get hurt. You go fast!!! The staff were very friendly and helpful. One helpful hint if you as the parent doesn't want to go tubing is to have one adult at the top and one adult on the bottom to help the kids get on and off. They are towed up the hill on their tubes which they thought was the coolest thing.
