What a great place to walk, take a picnic and enjoy the swings and sunset. Lots of people just having a nice time and relaxing. I was impressed how clean and neat the entire walk was.

I’ve never been to an escape room before, but this one was a real good experience. I live in a small town so I thought the business wouldn’t last but it’s been running for over a year and I keep coming back for more. I’ve done nearly all the rooms and am excited to see what’s in store for their new rooms. I first visited with my friend and her family for the DaVinci room (we escaped!). Afterwards, all I could talk about was the mystery and fun of solving such a puzzle. You’re placed in a setting that is so different that it’s enough awe on its own. The rooms are all based on such cool things, not just your average mysteries like Sherlock Holmes but real creative stories that have such detailed backgrounds. The following week I convinced my family to have a go at the Area 51 room. It was crazily bizarre and we loved it. So much bonding and fun, the time seemed to pass too quickly. I didn’t go for a while because it is expensive (although, I think this type of genre of entertainment is meant to be costly because honestly I can’t imagine it’s cheap to provide such an experience). My same friend and her family brought me back for their second go around on the Criminally Insane room. It was insane, and I loved it. We were the first group to escape (with only 30 seconds to spare) and got free T-shirts! Afterwards, the owners came back and explained certain aspects of the room that people find challenging or just interesting facts as well as praising and critiquing our teamwork. You can see the excitement light up in their eyes as they rush into details concerning these magnificent realities they’ve placed customers in. They truly love what they do and I think that itself enhances the experience. A week later I was back with a mixed party of friends and family to do Grandpa Jack’s Attic and was not let down at all. No spoilers but having seen 4 rooms I absolutely love how the background of the story affects such minor details in the rooms like even size (don’t think that’s a spoiler especially considering I worded it so oddly it’s kind of confusing on its own). Anyways, we escaped with 7 minutes left and I’m excited to do the final room in the future if I can find a party who hasn’t completed it. I know this is long, and thanks to anyone who kept up with my long winded review. Just wanted to express every detail of how much I love this business, and not only the originality of the rooms, but the workers whose joys and excitements amplify the experience.
8. Hunting Island Lighthouse
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 809 reviews
The only public lighthouse in South Carolina.
Reviewed By 44lindas44 - Metamora, United States
We made reservations in advance. Our group of four made the first climb of the day. The 45 minutes allowed per group is more than sufficient. We found the climb to the top well worth doing. Try for a clear day, of course! Also provided are informative plaques as well as outbuildings that provide additional information. They are worth the time. The staff here proved exceptional, knowledgeable, and friendly. At $2 per person this is a great value and fun opportunity.
