Went to Oshawa Escapes recently on my birthday & had so much fun! Escaped from the Privet Drive room with my team (5 people) without any hints. I've been to over 15 different escape venues, some good, some not great..but I'd definitely return to this one! Owner was very personable & fun to chat with as well, you can tell he puts a lot of creative effort into creating amazing rooms. Great job & we'll be back :)

What a great show. This was my first time at this venue and I can honestly say there isn't a bad seat in the house. I booked tickets for this several months before and we were a large group (30+) I booked with Valarie and she was incredibly helpful in organizing our tickets and having them ready for pick up. As we were a large group of mostly women, I was worried that we were going to be louder than the show (because who doesn't sing a long to all these songs?!). Thankfully the sound was fantastic and we didn't upstage them. The night started with Night Fever, and this guys were brilliant. Bee Gees is not an easy band to cover and if I closed my eyes I would have thought that it was the real Bee Gees. Next up was ABBA and they were great as well. Both bands were interactive with the audience. I can't wait to go back to see another show here.

I used to go to Nebs all the time before the renovations. It was fun then but you could tell it was getting run down. Now it is a great spot to go Bowling or bring out your inner kid at the arcade or even run a few laps on the Go-Karts. Prices are very reasonable. I really like the bowling lanes. You have the ability to switch it from 5 pin to 10 pin without moving lanes. The arcade has cleaned up. It no longer smells like Urine. The prizes have improved as well. I highly reccomend Nebs for either a day out with the kids. A nice couples date or even a ladies or guys night out. It has something for everyone.
