We have been there a few times and enjoyed each time. My daughter who doesn't often like to do family activities loves it and looks forward to doing it each time we come up. this time we were a large group of 8 people. We played the Salem witch game.You have to go around the museum finding clues and solving puzzles. The one we played we had to guest 2 people in the group who were the witches. The witches could also put curses on other players. For each puzzle you solved you eared coins. At the ed you put coins in a box to vote for who you thought were the witches. If you guested right, they were burned at the stake otherwise the one with the most coins was burned at the stake . Our group included a grandfather, mother and father, uncle and aunt, and three adult children. The museum is in Destiny Mall which also has many other forms of entertainment in it.

Skating here is always a great experience. We try to do it at least once a year. This year is a little different where you have to make reservations and only 9 people are allowed on the ice at a session. The sessions are 1 1/2 hours and well worth the money. I have my own skates so I can't tell you anything about how the rentals are. The tree and christmas music are wonderful and the people working are incredibly friendly.

5 Wits is cutting-edge, live-action entertainment that immerses you in realistic, hands-on adventures! Located in Destiny USA, we have four adventures: Tomb, Deep Space, Espionage, and Drago's Castle. Your Adventure Awaits!
Reviewed By Nicolellyn - Syracuse, United States
I have gone here twice now and loved both experiences! I went once with my family - a group of 5 adults - and another time with just me and my wife. It was definitely more challenging with just two of us, but we were able to complete it. If it's raining outside, or you want an adventure out of the heat in the AC, this is an awesome, unique way to have fun! Great way to use your brains and bond with your friends and family (you'll definitely be laughing throughout the whole thing). Some rooms are more challenging than others; I'd recommend starting with the castle/dragon one if you've never done it or have smaller children in your group. Either way, a great time for everyone! Highly recommend 5Wits!

RPM Raceway is America's ultimate all-electric indoor go-kart and entertainment destination providing an authentic, exhilarating and safe racing experience second only to climbing into an actual race car. From weekend warriors seeking a quick thrill, to determined racers looking to become the next Dale or Danica, RPM Raceway was created for racers of all levels.
Reviewed By WaterGirlDreaming - Rochester, United States
That's what you should say if someone asks if you'd like to go to RPM Raceway. It's a hoot! These little electric go carts are surprisingly fast. Compete with your friends or try for your personal best lap. They even have slower cars for kids. Adults and kids aren't allowed on the track together, so keep that in mind for family outings. They are not bumper cars and you can get kicked out if you hit the walls or other cars too much. And it's expensive for how many minutes of actual track time you get. But still worth it to me.
