My first "escape room" experience. It was fantastic. I'd heard different things about these places and wasn't too excited to try it. But the instructions were crystal clear and everyone in our group of five loved it. Gavin - our host - really made sure it was a positive experience. It took us just under an hour to get through the "Sacred Ruins."

Great place for unique items with a big variety to choose from. Set up like rooms in a home, one can envision how an item will look once taken home.

I was staying at the Staybridge nearby and decided to get some exercise when I stumbled upon this seeming new Veterans Park honoring those who made the supreme sacrifice in the service of their country. I was taken by the Park's design and impressed by its extremely well maintained appearance. This park is something you would expect to find in a much larger resourced city. Many cudos to those who conceived and contributed to this beautiful memorial.

I love this library. Free dvd rentals, books, books, and more books, classes, children's area, free movies and so much more. The only thing I wish is that they had more tables near outlets.

This is a huge building that includes an amazing amounts of oddities and antiques and vintage furniture and other objects. It’s a vendor place so each part of the store has different vendors things. Some are quite unusual. Even outside their building they have tons of statuary, fountains, outdoor furniture, windows, bathtubs and sinks, etc. if you can spare the time you have to see this place. It was great fun!

Great for trails, tennis, pickle ball, picnics, or anything like that. There’s tables and a gazebo. Nice break from the city and streets.
