Hour House Escape Room

This is an Escape Room venue where you get "locked" into a themed room for an hour and have to solve a series of puzzles and clues to "work" your way out of the room. Like a real life game of "Clue"! Great fun for birthday parties, reunions, bachelorette parties, or just date nights or fun nights out with friends. A guaranteed great time!!!

We had a great time trying to ‘escape the room. It was challenging, very well laid out ad a lot of fun for all ages. We will be back to try out the other rooms... and hopefully this time escape!

Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion

Reviewed By Lu104 - Bennington, United States

This outdoor concert venue gives concert goers the best of both worlds... being outdoors during the summer while providing a huge area of covered seating just in case of inclement weather. The design of the "midway" is nice with many food vendor and drink options- a bit pricey but nothing more than other similar venues. Also, we really enjoyed the small stage area that provided pre-concert entertainment. Bathrooms clean and numerous. We walked from a nearby hotel, so cannot comment on the parking. Beware of their policy on size of outside handbags; I was almost turned away because my bag was about 1/2 inch larger than their permitted measurements. Be sure to go to their web site to view the specs and measure your bag before you try to enter.
