My husband and I love to do escape rooms when we get a chance to go on a date. Rush Hour has an awesome variety of fun and challenging rooms and also some seasonal family-oriented ones that are appropriate for school-aged children. Our kids loved the Pumpkin Patch and Christmas ones. My husband and I have done many of the adult ones but our favorites were the Blackbeard pirate themed one and The Lucky Duck Speakeasy. Great atmosphere, clean festive rooms, nice employees and military discount available.

We toured the battlefield with Hallowed Ground Tours - we were several cars - and the very personable guide rode in the front car and we listened via cell phones. The battle and troop positions covered a fair bit of ground - more than is easily walked. The tour was great - and includes a nearby plantation now owned by the NPS - and equally worth seeing. The Visitor's Center is another must -

Dropped in to the Visitor Centre for some information on the civil war attractions and received terrific service from the very friendly and helpful staff advising on what was available and what was booked out. The staff appeared to be really enjoying their work and were very enthusiastic. Great credit to themselves and the service. We received a lot of additional detail and explanation about the significance of Fredericksburg in this conflict.
