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!!!!

Our visit to the Currier Museum of Art was much too brief, and I can’t wait to go back. It is a beautiful gem in Manchester, with a wonderful permanent collection, fascinating temporary exhibits, and access to a great tour of the Zimmerman house by Frank Lloyd Wright (reservations highly recommended, separate fee for the tour). There is also an excellent café for light meals, a great gift shop, nicer than many museum shops I have visited, and free parking in the museum lot. Don’t miss this fantastic spot while visiting Manchester!
5. Zimmerman House
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 155 reviews
This is the only Wright designed house open to the public in New England. Advance reservations are strongly encouraged as tour groups are small and tours fill quickly. Guests leave from the front of the Currier Museum of Art at 150 Ash Street and travel via motor coach to the Zimmerman House.

This house tour leaves from the Currier Museum in a small bus. On the way the docent explains the history of the owners, shows their prior home and the neighborhood. The house is a longer and narrow one, still completely furnished including personal objects and clothing. The docents take pride in their work and are extremely passionate about presenting this house. I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend. Your ticket includes admission to the Currier, so plan your time accordingly.

We are so fortunate to have such a quality theatre in our area. The shows have wonderful actors/performers and great sets. The theatre has comfortable seats and is small enough where pretty much every seat has a good view of the stage. They have a wide variety of programs, something for every age, and I look forward to seeing many more shows here in the future.

Fun, interactive, immersive entertainment...the clock is ticking. You have 60 minutes to find clues and solve the puzzles. Can you get UN-LOK'd in time?

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.
