This is such a family fun place to spend the day. There are sp many things to do and animals to see. My grandkids love feeding and petting the goats, hayride, driving pedal tractors, milking the cows, fishing, exploring and playing at the awesome playgrounds. There are too many fun things to do to mention them all. You will want to spend time checking it out. Bring your lunch and have a picnic.

Can I give this place 6 stars? We had an absolute blast at this establishment. We did all 4 of their rooms in one day and wish they had more. First off, the staff members we interacted with throughout the day were friendly and informative. The rooms were really awesome and very different from each other. Pyramids was theatrical and exciting ... Beasley's was traditional with a few technical surprises ... Space Force was really unique (but we blew it away) ... Central Intelligence was very intriguing and had some really fun and unique surprises (If you're very experienced escape roomers ask to have it set up in difficult mode!). I would heartily recommend these rooms if you are looking for a great time for a group of family or friends!

Indian Creek Greenway

Park with 13 miles of paved, wooded trails perfect for runners.

Reviewed By Toyota1994 - Chicago, United States

Indian Creek Greenway Trail is an awesome trail for biking. The approximately 17-mile long trail is asphalt-paved and runs on the banks of Indian Creek most of the time. Several community parks go by along the trail. A few spots have some steep hills, and some low spots may be flooded or muddy in wet conditions. It runs most of the time trough woods, but being in urban area, highway noise is not too far off. Pretty elaborate Historical Waymarkers are installed every few miles along the trail. Indian Creek Greenway is highly popular and used by walkers, runners, and cyclists. It connects up with two other beautiful trails - Blue River Greenway and Tomahawk Creek Greenway.
