We've done a lot of escape rooms and this is one of the best! There were 5 of us, all adults (family), and we did the Merlin room. The puzzles and clues to solve were well-thought out and very unique and fun. It kept our group busy the entire time, but we didn't feel overwhelmed. Also, LOVED that we are the only group in the building for our time slot to help prevent Covid! Thank you! Had a fantastic time!

This is a great place for a cold, winter day. The staff is extra helpful. Out 10 year old had a great time climbing. No need to purchase equipment it is all there. Our Madison climbed for over 3 hours and was ready for more. The price is not expensive and you can really save by purchasing a multi day pass. Great place to let off cabin fever.

We saw John Heffron tonight and he was hilarious. We had a nice dinner in one of the many restaurants within walking distance, then walked over just as doors were opening for the evening. We enjoyed drinks and popcorn, the two local comedians, and then the headliner. It was a lot of fun and we were laughing all the way home. Good venue, however, chairs are a little small and in the area near the stage are quite packed together, so if you're not a tiny little thing, which I am not, take that into consideration when reserving your seats for your own comfort. All in all a great experience. We will definitely go back!
