An escape room presents a unique challenge: escape from the room within 60 minutes! To succeed, you will need to use your intelligence, imagination, and creativity.

This is the nicest escape room I've done. Their website is so intuitive and easy to book reservations. All the themed (four) rooms show up for the day with the available times. There is a very clean restroom in the lobby that you can use just before your hour challenge! The staff is friendly and enthusiastic. You can receive hints w/o subtracting time. We did CSI - Hollywood. There were definitely some challenging puzzles, however, we made it through with seconds to spare. We were a group of three.

This is a largely unimproved area near the original Irvine Ranch Water District location Irvine that can be hard to find. On site is the Audubon Society, which has a small, informative exhibit on, you guessed it, local birds. This is an interesting stop for all ages. The reserve is a serene, long, loopy walk during which you may see many species of birds, both local and migrating. However, you may also see very few birds, as this is a natural preserve rather than a zoo. I find that just the walk is a quiet, soothing, lovely place to jar get away from the hustle and bustle of urban life. I kind hate to talk about it, because I’d like to keep it a well known local secret.

We went to the Drive-Thru pumpkin patch in October. Our tickets were for the 9am time- which I highly recommend to avoid the crowds. It was very well organized! The staff is extremely nice and focused on making the customer experience top-notch. You get nice little samples along the drive, participate in a fun scavenger hunt, and there are plenty of great pumpkins to choose from! Even though it was changed to a drive-thru experience because of Covid, they really made the best of the situation and it was a fun family time!
