We have a group of friends that have done multiple escape rooms in LA, Las Vegas, Orange County, and the Inland Empire. My boyfriend and I are at about 125 rooms. Our group of 5 have completed all their rooms in Anahiem and Rancho. The rooms are decorated at a high level and the puzzles are a fun hard. My favorite is the Elevator (Anahiem). Take some time and visit Exodus Escape Room at either or both locations for some critical thinking and fun.

I've done 2 of the escapes here, and some of my family members and friends have done all 3, and we love them! The variety, the level of detail in each, the total immersion into another reality, the high-quality puzzles and games ... Crossroads is doing A LOT of things right!

Mission Escape Games unique and fun experience in which you and a group of people (friends or complete strangers) strive to beat the clock to obtain freedom from your "puzzle." The door's locked and you need the key. Pit your will and mind against puzzles, piece together clues and at the end, break out! You have 1 hour to finish the game.

8. Fantasmic!

Reviewed By lwj - San Jose, United States
Fantasmic! is a combination of live action and projected Disney images and movie clips on a mist screen. It features fireworks, pyrotechnics, lasers, searchlights, decorated boats, water effects and animatronics, all coordinated to various familiar sound clips taken from Disney movies and broadcasts. It is usually performed twice a night on the Rivers of America from Tom Sawyer’s Island and lasts about 25 minutes. Better seating for the reserved sections can be obtained for visitors who purchase a dining package at the Blue Bayou, New Orleans Square Restaurant, River Belle Terrace or Hungry Bear Restaurant. Our reserved area from the Blue Bayou was close to the water in the middle section and included a foam pad to sit on. The basic story is a voyage through Mickey Mouse's imagination that culminates in a battle against various Disney Villains. This show is an enjoyable experience and should NOT be missed.
9. Grizzly River Run

Warning- you will get wet no matter where you sit, It is just a matter of "how wet". Fun ride-you climb into a circular raft that fits about eight. The raft takes you up until you hit a series of water falls and dips. Meanwhile the raft will move in circles as it hits certain areas so everyone is likely go over the falls backwards at least once. Depending on the weight in the raft more or less water will splash into the raft. We (group of five-4 adults and one grandchild age eight) rode with three teenagers we had never met. This ride will cause everyone in the raft to interact and have a blast. Suggestions: 1. Obviously, not a wonderful ride on a cold day or night. 2. Can get crowded, particularly on warm days, so use a max pass to avoid the lines. 3. If you really want to try to stay dry, where a poncho. 4. Try to keep your feet as high up on the center console as possible to avoid getting your shoes and socks soaked. By all means, you must ride this attraction- I would have been happy to ride it continuously for half a day at least.
10. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

Reviewed By WillieMacfan - Healdsburg, United States
Thunder Mountain has been a staple of Frontier Land for many years. Essentially it is a short roller coaster ride that is enjoyable for all ages. There is a height minimum; my eight year old grandson easily met the requirements and enjoyed the ride. It is fast and does encounter ups/downs/turns and jolts. As a senior citizen I could have done without the jolts; but to see my grandson's joy made up for any pain. Line on a weekday was not bad.
