Fun night with friends. It was my second time to Adventure Room, both times we had awesome time. Some of the clues where challenging yet doable and the best part is that is private and you are not put in a room with strangers

We had a great time at the Last Minute Escape in Wayne, NJ. We went as a group of 7 with 4 adults and 3 kids ages 6-8. We did the Frozen Grove game and everyone enjoyed it! And we escaped with time to spare! It is a great family friendly activity for adults and kids who are adventurous and like mystery, problem solving and teamwork.

A really cool place to watch a concert. Lots of open space with a small section of seats between the bar and the large open space in front of the stage. The band was excellent! The Who, "Whos next" show was awesome, i had a fantastic time and it brought me back. I truly enjoyed my night with a really nice bar tender serving up some cold beers and some nice tequila shots I had a great time and will definitely go back again for another concert in the future. The venue was really nice with nice clean bathrooms and lots of bartenders so you never have to miss any of the show waiting to get your next drink. They sell some nice memorabilia there too. I got a nice sweater while there. Thank you Yelp for the great time!

Having an art background, I relish the opportunity to visit museums. Normally, Montclair is not on my radar, as I live on Long Island, but because of the current "Matisse and American Art' exhibit, we decided to do a road trip. It was well worth it. The museum appears to have a very diverse and impressive permanent collection, for a small museum, and the fact that they were able to put on this amazing Matisse show was quite a feat. I would highly recommend visiting the museum if you are in the neighborhood or the surrounding area. To be honest, I'm not sure when I will go back, as it is a trip for me, but if they continue to do high-caliber shows like the current one, I will definitely return.
