We held a team building event at Breakout Lawrence and my team had an absolute blast!! The staff was friendly and helpful, and the rooms we did (Y2K and Civil War) were well-organized, challenging and fun at the same time. The attention to detail is incredible compared to some of the other escape rooms I've been to. I would recommend Breakout Lawrence to anyone looking for a fun team event or get-together with friends. The location is great as well with tons of great restaurants and bars just down the street.

Massachusetts Street is basically the Downtown in Lawrence. It is a lively and beautiful street teeming with a variety of retail businesses. In fact, there are two brewery restaurants well worth the visit. Just one block west is the wonderful library, a modern architectural design not to be missed. Then there is the South Park, a beautiful community park with a lovely garden. The Kansas River Levee trail is not too far from Massachusetts; it is a nice place to walk and enjoy the expansive views of the river if it is not a hot day. All in all, Massachusetts Street is an enjoyable downtown area for leisurely walk, shopping and food.

Liberty Hall fulfills many roles. It is and event center, a 2 screen motion picture theater, and a live performance space. There is always plenty of beer and wine to enjoy with whatever event is being presented. This is an historical performance space that is still going strong.

South Park in Lawrence is a beautiful community park with a variety of recreational opportunities. The large park is located south of downtown (hence the name) and is split into two parts by Massachusetts Avenue. A large network of paved paths make it convenient for walking to enjoy the various attractions in the park. There is shade throughout provided by the large and numerous trees. The centerpiece of the park is the gazebo and the Roosevelt Fountain and garden in front of the gazebo. The Lawrence Parks & Recreational Admin office is also located in the park. Do not miss the historical information board located at the south end of the park. The park is a prime location for summer festivals, concerts, and movies during the summer. A large number of picnic benches are spread throughout the park. South Park is a very enjoyable park.

My son was a student at KU. As a family we visited several times. I think the most enjoyable part of th park is the walk to and from the overlook hill. I liked to walk on the paved pathe and then on through a bit more rugged terain to reacy the top. the way back took me down the other side and to the shore. Following the shore is a bit difficult but never the less greatly diverse...overall this place earns a "10".
