Really want to thank Dana and the team. First time to New Plymouth and first escape room. Dana was amazing, not only was she a great host, she was also so kind as to have a chat about our plans and was happy to offer recommendations for other activities and places to eat etc which we took her up on (all her suggestions were great haha). We did the Train room, was great to learn a bit of history prior and the room itself was amazing. Challenging puzzles but super fun and staff were so helpful when needed. This definitely exceeded my expectations and can't wait to come back and do more rooms. Highly recommend.

Went here with kids (5 & 7) over Christmas holiday period. A great facility, which the kids loved. We spent about 95% of the time in indoor pools. Olympic length outdoor pool available if you need it and nicely kept. Excellent variety of pools and activities inside. Definitely recommend getting pass to family changing area if eligible.
