We went to iFly to scope it out for a possible upcoming corporate event. There were four of us and we all flew for five minutes each - our first experience skydiving indoors or out. It was AMAZING! The staff is super friendly, the preflight briefing and training is short and to the point, and the time in the tunnel with the instructor is so much fun! If you’re even a little bit scared - don’t be. It’s super easy and fun as a beginner, and the demonstrations that the instructors put on are a thrill to watch. In short, we loved it and will definitely be going back! Thanks for such a great experience, Mikey!

I did the SERIAL escape room with my brothers, my dad, and some friends as part of a Birthday Weekend and its was the highlight of the weekend hands down. Several of the people in the group said they had been to other escape rooms but that this one was by far the best. Everything was well done from the staff to the room designs. Riddles were creative, theme was fresh, and complexity was all there. This escape room lived up to its 9 out of 10 difficulty. We have some people that were excellent at riddles on the team and we still finished with just 8 seconds to spare! Highly recommend it was definitely an experience I will never forget.

The 8-bit room which was a bit too challenging for 11-12 year olds given it was a lot of 80's references, so my husband and I joined in. The staff were great in giving us a little extra help which made all the difference in the world.The kids had a great time and cheered every time they found a clue. The 8-bit room decor and set up was very authentic.

Locust Shade Park

Reviewed By ITRT

Locust Shade Park is a small gem of the Prince William County Parks and Recreation system and it has amenities to suit all ages. Besides the natural beauty and picturesque trails, the park has a fishing lake with marina, bank fishing, picnic tables and pavilions, tennis courts, miniature golf, batting cage, golf driving range and several playgrounds. Because of Covid-19, paddle boats and canoes are not available for rent nor is the amphitheater open. Five miles of relatively easy trails are available for hiking, dog walking or jogging. This park is a popular place for boy and girl scouts. A garden dedicated to a Girl Scout leader is near GRŌ, a natural science education center, is not open to the general public but available to school-age children to explore and interact in a natural setting. One of the trails leads to the Semper Fidelis Memorial Park, part of the National Museum of the Marine Corps complex.

Cinema Arts Theatre

Reviewed By johndc

We love this place! Very comfortable seating, and during the covid pandemic, they strictly observe all protocols, so we feel very safe, especially since crowds are basically non-exisitent. In mid-week during the day, we sometimes have the theater to ourselves, or share with just a handful of others. They also have a nice selection of food and beverage, not just popcorn and candy!
