Muncie's long and storied past can be explored in its many museums and monuments, from the Appeal to the Great Spirit monument to the Vietnam Veteran Valor Monument. The Ball State University campus is home to numerous attractions, including art galleries, museums, a planetarium, theaters and the tranquil Christy Woods. Tee off on one of the city's many golf courses or take the kids to the Muncie Children's Museum. Hike or bike the rails-to-trails Cardinal Greenway or the White River Greenway.

Escape Muncie

An Escape Room is a real-life challenge experience. Teams of participants are locked in a themed room and must work as a team to solve a series of puzzles, riddles, and clues found within the room to escape in 60 minutes or less. Groups vary in size from 2 - 6 participants. Each room has a different story line that makes that particular room experience different from the others. It's unique, intellectually stimulating, and a rewarding experience for groups of all sizes and ages. Can you escape?

These rooms were so much fun to play. I have played all four rooms. The puzzles and clues make you think! The owners, Jennifer and Bruce, are fantastic people and make the game more fun when they help you out. I can't wait to see what their next room so I can play that one too.

I bet most people in Muncie don't even know this place is right here in our own backyard. Model airplane enthusiasts come from all over the world to compete every summer in model airplane racing, aerobatics and dogfighting. Took the CAP cadets who loved every minute!

My experience at DOMA was incredible. The tour guides and staff are very well versed in the art that they are talking about, and are very good at answering questions and having artistic conversations with the patrons. I went there on an educational trip, and ended up bonding with my friend, now fiancé, over our love of art, and that’s when we fell in love. Perfect for a date with somebody who appreciates art and history!!

Epic Escape Game

The concept is simple: You and your team will be locked in a room where you have 60 minutes to find clues, solve puzzles and escape the room before your time is up. Play with your family, friends or co-workers and see if you have what it takes to make an Epic Escape.

We really enjoyed our 60 minutes there. Zach was great to help us. They were good to advise us as to which room would be best and made sure we were able to handle the different types of locks.

I visited this museum with a group of 20 international high school students and their 4 mentors. I was amazed by the way this "little" museum was arranged to have a "big" impact on visitors. The high school students enjoyed the exhibits and the many opportunities to take pictures.

Lowery's Candies was one of my early reviews and it's long overdue for an update after eight years. Recently I received a card in the mail that it was time to order for Easter. Since I'm on their mailing list I typically get reminders for Christmas and Easter. It's been a few years since I ordered chocolate Easter eggs filled with candy. This was a tradition in my home growing up. They have several sizes to choose from. The largest egg has over a pound of candy. They offer online ordering, however I called for a special arrangement. The staff is always super and I love talking with the ladies who have lovingly made hand dipped chocolates for decades. I ordered two large with peanut butter, toffee and dark secrets. Three of my favorites too! Of course the kids would share right? LOL Staff at Lowery's called to confirm the order was complete and mailing from Indiana to Virginia overnight. My package arrived the next day packed nicely with ice packs to ensure they would not be affected by temperature. As always the candy was pure heaven and my daughter ate both egg and a pound within the week. It's that good! My son is more disciplined and enjoys one a day. Toffee is both of there favorites. Lowery's closes for the Summer, so get your order in by mid May. They ship any where in the U.S. The chocolates are among the best I've ever tasted and they continue to use old school methods and guarded secret family recipes. Lowery's is local, not chain and welcomes new customers to spread the word of their history of candy making that dates to the 1940's.
