Pottstown is a borough in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, United States about 40 miles (55 km) northwest of Philadelphia and 20 miles (32 km) southeast of Reading, on the Schuylkill River. Pottstown was laid out in 1752–53 and named Pottsgrove in honor of its founder, John Potts. The old name was abandoned at the time of the incorporation as a borough in 1815. In 1888, the limits of the borough were considerably extended. Pottstown is the center of a productive farming and dairying region.

An escape room game is a physical adventure game in which players are locked in a room and have to use elements of the room to escape within 1 hours time
Reviewed By 4Quays
This was our first time going to an Escape Room and it did not disappoint. Everyone had a great time and could help find clues, from the youngest 8 and 11 year olds, the teenagers and adults. We all loved it. They had very clever ways to hide things and ways of figuring things out. The staff was wonderful too. So friendly and helpful! Can't wait to try another room when we go back to visit our friends in PA!

We received a very informative tour by the museum curator, giving us a glimpse into the life of the privileged 18th century Potts family and their descendants. Interesting info about the iron industry in colonial times. Due to the pandemic, our tour was scheduled by phone, and limited to members of one household.

We went on a trip with school. The place was magical. The carousel was lovingly restored in an effort to help revitalize Pottstown. It is definitely worth visiting. The volunteers who run it obviously take pride and joy in seeing the looks on the faces of those who ride the carousel. It is the perfect place for a party with lots of tables and seating. They have a snack bar as well. If you are in the area, make this a stop.
