Escape room was a very fun group event. More challenging than other escape rooms I have done, in a good way. Colby was a great host and extremely friendly.

Valhalla Indoor Axe Throwing

Valhalla Indoor Axe Throwing, yes, you heard that right, Indoor Axe Throwing! Book a party, corporate event, date night, join a league or just walk in and let off some steam. When you come in, you will be set up with a coach who will go over the safety instructions and teach you how to throw an axe. Come in and release your inner savage!!! We also have outdoor youth archery!

I would give Valhalla a rating of 10 if I could. This place is a total blast!! My sister and I agreed to come along for my adult daughter’s birthday, and we LOVED it!! King Robert is the absolute best instructor and host you could ever hope for. He was fun, patient, and very helpful in getting us started with our beginning lesson all the way up to when we were done and leaving. The initial lesson was really helpful in getting us going. And none of us are great athletes, but we were able to sink plenty of throws in the targets. Honestly, ANYONE can do this. The sessions are well worth the $20 an hour you pay. I would dress for the weather because even though this is called indoor axe throwing, it is literally open sided to the outdoors and can be quite hot when it’s hot out. But they provide water coolers and also sell cold drinks. Seriously, if you are even slightly considering this, I urge you to do it. It’s fun, empowering a bit, and just a great activity for a group. And if you pay attention to the instructor and do what you’re supposed to, it’s totally safe. Besides, where else is it socially axe-ceptable (that pun was for you King Robert) for a group of menopausal (and one young) women to heave around axes? And we didn’t have a single axe-ident. Thank you so much King Robert!!!! We’ll definitely be back with more Viking Warriors!!

Excellent place to rent bikes and take in the beautiful scenery~ the guided white water rafting trips are really fun for a group or a couple! There are hiking trails and places to hang near the water to cool off as well! It’s definitely a yearly fall visit for us!

Laurel Caverns

Cave with 2.8 miles of underground passages: great for viewing weird rock formations.

Reviewed By Mchumel - Lakewood, United States

My wife and I are senior citizens who like a new adventure. We talked ourselves into taking the 2-hour "upper cave" tour on a rainy Monday afternoon. Our guide, Zach, prepared we newbies for what to expect and told us he would tailor the tour to our limitations (we were the only two on the tour.) Navigating the passageways and the climbing up and down was challenging at times and scary at times, but we always felt in good hands with Zach and intern Cicely. In addition to his obvious love of caving, he provided us with a lot of geological facts about caves, geological history, you name it. Zach is quite personable, a good story teller and a great source for a few geology basics. Somewhat surprised to read the negative comments about the well-designed lighting in the family tour portion of the cave. The lights were aesthetically pleasing to this occasional spelunker.
