10 Fun Activities & Games in Bethesda That You Shouldn't Miss
Bethesda is an unincorporated, census-designated place in southern Montgomery County, Maryland, United States, located just northwest of the U.S. capital of Washington, D.C. It takes its name from a local church, the Bethesda Meeting House (1820, rebuilt 1849), which in turn took its name from Jerusalem's Pool of Bethesda. In Aramaic, ܒܝܬ ܚܣܕܐ beth ḥesda means "House of Mercy" and in Hebrew, בית חסד "beit ḥesed" means "House of Kindness". The National Institutes of Health main campus and the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center are in Bethesda, as are a number of corporate and government headquarters.

Our family of 4 signed up to do Black Widow as part of their Halloween promotion. When we arrived we were told that there would be another group joining us. However, since their other room, Expedition Unknown, was available at around the same time, they were nice enough to offer us that room so that we could play as just a family which we were so pleased to take advantage of. We have been to their sister site in Alexandria, Virginia, and enjoyed our experience there so decided to try out their new location. Parking for this site was easier since there is a garage close by with free parking on the weekends. The lobby was one of the nicest that we have visited, and once they have their liquor license, the bar area I am sure will be hopping. The decor in the actual escape room was just as nice and mood setting as in the lobby. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves during our time there. Our family enjoys working together and escape rooms give us the chance to work together on puzzles. The puzzles were challenging but made sense, nicely designed, and followed the theme of the room. The electronics in the room worked great as well. Puzzles were a mixed of physical and mental. The game master will provide hints if you need them. They recommend up to three hints, but did make a point to say that they wouldn’t limit us if we were truly stuck. We did make it out (with only 2 clues), and laughed at our stupid mistakes that held us up. We have been to several escape rooms both locally and internationally. The escape rooms we have been to in Europe have always impressed us with their nice integration of technological features into the room which we have often found lacking in most of the US rooms we have been to. However, the rooms here lived up to their European counterparts in all aspects.

Reviewed By sareysoda - Dayton, United States
Lots to explore and do with younger kids - a must-do in the area!! In my opinion, best for ages 2-6. Each room has a designated theme/purpose for lots of exploring & creativity. Rooms include grocery store, dress-up, painting, music, baking/kinetic sand, soap making, library, history, fire trucks/uniforms, cultural (Asian theme was what they had on display in the cultural room when we visited), vet, doctor, and they have some small live animals you can see too. The best part is when you buy your pass, it is good for the entire day, so you can leave and have lunch nearby and come back and play more. Space is a little tight moving from one room to the next, so leave the stroller and large backpacks at home (they have a small area to park strollers). Hours of fun & lots of educational toys, dolls, & books available for purchase too!
