I took my son and some of his friends to this place to celebrate his 12th birthday and we did the vintage circus room. It was a HUGE hit! They were able to accommodate 8 of us in a room and everyone had a blast figuring out the puzzles. We were even able to escape the room with 5mins to spare, but it wasn't easy! Definitely a great activity to do during this pandemic! Clean facilities and super friendly employees! Highly recommended!!!!

We went to see Jimmy Lehoux on their second reopening night. The newly refurbished theater is nice. Comfortable seats and excellent sound. There is a bar at the rear of the main floor. All seats are general admission but there were no problems in finding a seat. There is no theater exclusive parking but there is on street parking and just up the block there is a large parking garage. We are looking forward to returning hare.

We had a great time - the artist and staff were fun and everyone had a great time! Drinks were good and they had free samples of brownies and goodies. We did not purchase any food as we had dinner prior to our paint class. Great time, highly recommend.

By far the best experience we've had at any escape room we've done. We have done rooms from Orlando to Washington DC, Greensboro, NC, Roanoke, Va and now Manchester location. The room itself, theme The Agency, was a cool concept. We've never had to get another person in our party out of another room. The facility was clean, staff was amazing, knowledgeable, kind and was on point whenever we asked for a hint. We had two teenagers with us and they were entertained the whole hour. Well be back when we are in the area!

I took the afternoon to stop by and do some shooting here. (I work at a Gun Shop and Range at home) Arriving, I checked in at the counter for a lane and to pick out equipment to try. I rented the Walther Q5 Match, got 2 boxes of ammo and 2 targets and was ushered to the range. Awesome set up, 2 ranges.....one for members, and one for quests. Each range is guided and overseen by 2 Range Officers. A perfect scenario for safety. They guided me thru the process of hanging targets and sending out the targets to my required distance to shoot. Staff here is great, personable, and fully trained. Give this place a try.........tell Jake you said hello.

We were in the Manchester area for a week at the start of July attending to family business. With COVID in play, there were few options for entertainment during our free moments. We found that Chunky's had recently opened a facility in Manchester near our hotel. We jumped in the car and rode a mile to the theater and got tickets for the next movie that was playing. It turned out to be the original "Jaws". It was great fun to see this classic on the big screen again. The theater was operating at 50% capacity giving lots of space between us and others in the theater. For those who have never been to a Chunky's, rather that the typical rows of seating, they have rows of tables with reclinable chairs encircling them. When you are seated, you are given menus for bot food and drink (including bar service). Since this outing was a treat, I got a root beer float and a hot fudge sundae. If you are looking for a real meal they also have burgers, sandwiches, fish and chips, mac and cheese, chicken tenders and other finger style foods. This allows you to have dinner with your movie. The admission price for the movie was the lowest I've seen in 20 yrs. Burgers and sandwiches were $9-$12, beer $5/bottle, wine $6-$9 a glass and cocktails $9. I found their pricing very reasonable and actually returned later in the seek to see another movie. In this time of social distancing, this was a very convenient option at a affordable price.
