Went here with the family. Had no Idea what to expect. Everyone found a clue and they were involved. We didn't make it in the allotted time but it was so much fun. The gamemaster or whatever he is called gave us clues that really made you think. But we did a lot of work on our own and made good progress. The ages of our group was 53, 44, 33, 11, 9 & 6. We did the Crimson Storm room. I can't wait to go back and try the other rooms.

This is fun with fossils...and it is hot! At Ernst Quarries, a desert environment, we wore our hats and brought a lot of water, and we wore gloves, and a lot of water. There is a fine dust, and the chance of dessert valley fever, so my son and I brought masks, and we gave away a few extras that we brought along. I am glad we wore them. Careful because this is the land of rattlesnakes, scorpions and blue, poisonous centipedes. We found a lot of small shark teeth and bones.

Reviewed By luterl2018 - Bakersfield, United States
We have visited Studio Movie Grill several times since it opened. It's nice to select your seat ahead of time and awesome to eat there also! We have had a meal every time we saw a movie. All but one of the meals were very good.. Hubby loves the bagel dogs and we both love the margarita pizza. The salads are also great. The servers are usually very friendly and prompt. If you live in the northwest part of Bakersfield i highly reccommend it!
