I just had a great time at Escape Games Worcester with my 11-year-old daughter and five of her friends! We did the Conspiracy Room, which was the perfect level of difficulty for us. The owner was helpful and responded quickly to my questions when I was planning this outing and the staff member today was very helpful and gave us some handy tips. It felt safe and it seemed like extra precautions were taken during Covid19, and we were the only participants at the time so we were able to follow social distancing rules. It was a great experience and my daughter and her friends had so much fun! I definitely recommend doing it!

We visit this park to walk our dogs outside of our usual routine. It has a great path, and tons of open space. Recommend for people with pets, families with children, or just looking for a nice green open space.

It is always a treat to visit this field to watch my son play ball. Easy parking, very clean facility. There are even some shaded areas for those who are sun sensitive. A great place for families to enjoy baseball.
