My college students and I focused on 4 activities: the corn maze(s), the pumpkin patch, a fire pit for s'mores, and food (elephant ears, hot chocolate, etc.). Everything was terrific. There is great attention to detail and taking care of customers. We took a hayride to the pumpkin patch (which you can easily walk to instead, if you wish), and there's a wide range of sizes and types of pumpkins to pick and buy. It costs $20 to reserve a fire pit, but they provide the firewood and keep the fire going for you. When our group came out of the corn maze, the fire was ready to go and we were ready for s'mores. Oh, and the bathrooms are surprisingly nice!
2. Mission: Breakout Lafayette

You have 60 minutes. Can you breakout? Mission: Breakout is an escape game adventure brought to life. Players are "locked" in a themed room and have to work together with other players to solve clues, to work on puzzles, and to find the key to breakout before time runs out! Think you've got what it takes? Give one of our three uniquely themed rooms a try. It's fun and addicting!

I think it is an important when looking at businesses to see that they are supporters of their community and surrounding area. Eric has gone above and beyond for our non profit in Montgomery County, donating several items to our silent auction. When a business owner is generous to those around him, it shows true character and I believe those are the businesses that should be supported. Thank you Eric for an awesome escape room experience as well as for your generosity to our silent auction.

This place is amazing!!! I've done two rooms now, the Bank Heist (with Cynthia as our game master) and The Morgue (with Misty as the game master). Both times were excellent and both game masters were fantastic. I cant wait to to back and do another one!!!
4. Columbian Park Zoo

The butterfly garden was closed, so we almost didn't go, but this zoo was great. The petting zoo with the goats was fun. Seeing a live eagle close up was really cool. Didn't know they look like they're wearing fancy pants. The wallaby walk-about was super neat. I wish I'd have heard the singing dogs sing. My son did some research on them afterwards and they have an interesting story. Great visit.

We LOVE the orchard, and my kids feel right at home here, and love doing the You Pick! The apple cider slushies in the summer are an absolute MUST have, and in the Winter I love that they hold the makers market and have such charming holiday activities for family! We really enjoyed the makers market and they had hot cocoa and warm cider and cookies, and the kids got to get pictures with Santa, and I got to get some really unique one of a kind Christmas gifts, all in one stop! I know right??? Love it!
