An escape room game is a live action adventure, where you are challenged to use creative and lateral thinking to solve your way out of a locked room. At Improbable Escapes, our games are 60 minutes of intense and unique puzzles in which you must work with your team to try and escape before the buzzer goes off. We pride ourselves on having family friendly games, and have private bookings to ensure you have the most fun with your team!

We went for a team building exercise and it was great. The escape experience really promotes collaboration,teamwork with a sense of urgency that has to be calmed with patience and analytical thinking. The staff are great and the rooms are challenging. If you can go, you should!
5. MacKinnon Brothers Brewing Co.
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 24 reviews
Bound by brotherhood. Brewed by tradition. MacKinnon Brothers Brewing Co. is located on a bicentennial family farm, just outside of Kingston, Ontario. With over 200 years of farming heritage behind us, we use the hops, wheat, and barley grown right here on our farm to brew beer which is emboldened with the unique character of rural Canada. We do this so beer patrons everywhere can share in the taste and tradition of our farm. Our ancestors settled in Upper Canada in 1784, and through the generations, built a thriving farm. We decided to add another element into the mix: a farm-based brewery. We’ve renovated century-old barns to house the equipment, and planted hops and malting barley in the surrounding fields. The character and history of this place shines through in every glass.

Rode our bikes to the Sunday Market at the Brewery, great vendors set up with fresh produce, Dody's fabulous soda, deliciously tasty popcorn, Pharmacy's wonderful products, awesome food truck from Otter Farms and beautiful cards from Silverplate Press of which I bought 5!! There was music playing, beer to be tasted, a pond to sit by or just visit. A wonderful relaxed afternoon in the country with interesting things to do and taste. So glad we made it there.

Such a fun experience for a great price! I booked The Lair virtual escape with a group of coworkers and can't recommend it enough. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. They were able to adapt the experience to tailor to our needs on a short notice. It was such an engaging and interactive activity, and the feedback from my coworkers was overwhelmingly positive. I couldn't recommend this experience enough!

It was such a nice place to see ! We walked around, but couldn't complete a trail because it was closed. The view on Lake Ontario is breathtaking and it is a must-see if you like nature.

A site all should visit, self guided tours or full guided tour, lots of hands on experiences, plenty of exhibits, the ability to shoot a muscat, watch the cannons go off and shop at reasonably priced shops. A first date experience!
9. Queens University

Reviewed By adamtroywiggins - Abbotsford, Canada
This was my first trip to Kingston. I've heard people and friends talk about attending Queens University but I had no idea of the historical heritage of this place. I was surprised to discover that Queens is the oldest University in Canada. It's heritage, history, and beauty is so tangible as you see the beautiful stone buildings that have been well preserved. Well worth the visit if you are passing through this area of Canada.
