Fun for families, friends & co-workers! Our rooms accommodate 4 - 8 players (ages 13 and older). Great team-building for companies and businesses. As long as you can climb the stairs to our second floor, you are fit enough to play: there is no crawling, carrying, climbing or lifting involved. All you need is imagination, communication, creative thinking and a sense of adventure!

This was our first time trying an escape room. Our group had ages 18-53, and all of us really enjoyed our adventure. Greg,our host, was very helpful and sent us subtle clues when needed to keep us on track. Well worth the time and cost.

I took my son there for his 50th birthday along with some of his friends. Everyone had a ball. And if there is a lot of people in your party there are other things to do while you wait. It is a BYOB (bring your own beverage) establishment and you can bring snacks. The owners are great an very helpful. The adjusted my feet an distance and I was able to hit the mark. I can't wait to go back.

So this vineyard is a little diamond in the rough, and not sure you would find it if you didn't know what you were looking for to get there. Very cozy though, the location tucked back into a wooded area and viola, a vineyard! Super cute area, great wine and very friendly staff. Plenty of seating and you can bring your own appetizers. Beautiful vineyard and perfect for a sunny afternoon.

NECC always seems to be bustling with activity but that business doesn't keep the staff from being friendly and attentive (although you may have to wait a minute to be served.) The offerings are ever changing with generally about six different flavors at any one time. The offers run from traditional to inventive and from sweet to bone dry so you are bound to find something you'll like. They also offer snacks and nibbles, many of which, like their cider, are gluten-free! They often host events and demonstrations. A fun place for couples or for groups of friends to meet and socialize.

My were a little nervous about the parking based on other reviews. We just went early and had no trouble getting into the free parking lot up behind the theater. The parking attendants were friendly and helpful. Our free parking spot was no further than you might have to park at a mall. After the show the staff did a great job of getting cars out of the lot. The entry/security/ushers etc were professional and efficient. Our bartender John was excellent and very patient with those who don’t understand that you pay a lot for food and drink at a broadway quality show. (Either buy food and drink or don’t but don’t complain to the bartender or take it out on their tips - it isn’t their fault. Try going to NYC for a show and see what you spend!) Overall experience was excellent. We saw the Carol King musical - very well done. We are fortunate to have this quality entertainment here in CT.
