Watergate was amazing fun and a great team-building opportunity for my coworkers and I. We were challenged and entertained by the escape room we chose. The hour went by SO quickly!

I cannot adequately say how wonderful our night was at The Perfect Escape on Fri Feb 26, in the 9pm slot. The Pharaoh's Tomb is a beautiful escape area with interesting and fun puzzles and details. I have an entertainment and theatre background so can easily appreciate the care and detail in place for the experience. We had a group of 10 people celebrating my son’s birthday. All had a great time. When we first arrived, some weren't sure where the door was. The building has a plain and unassuming office exterior. Look for the logo on the window and read the signs. Entrance is on the west side of the building. Only three of us had been to an escape room before, but they all felt this escape room was far more interesting, fun, challenging and detailed. They also said, unlike Pharaohs Tomb at TPE, in the other escape rooms, traps and interactive elements did not work on their own. Those venues required progression events to be triggered by staff in control rooms every time players completed tasks. Clearly this was not the case in our room. We directly triggered every puzzle to the next level through the specific actions we did on site. It gave a feeling of authenticity and accomplishment. I don’t know at what point I forgot about the world outside, but shortly into the experience, we felt completely immersed into our goals and the tomb world. Very challenging, requiring all of our individual skills to solve and progress. The room was so good, they may have ruined us for lesser rooms! We made it out with 52 seconds to spare LOL. We are thinking about next time- Many of us want to check out the Chinese restaurant room in The Perfect Escape. We also used their party room- which was a converted conference area. They allowed us freedom to bring in our own food and decorate. We even left our stuff in the room which they locked during our escape. It worked out great for us. What a convenience. Staff was super accommodating and helpful when planning.

My family and I had the pleasure of attending the DAL vs BUF game, what an experience. The stadium is amazing also we did the stadium tour with tour guide Diane from Chicago she was AWESOME, very knowledgeable about the stadium and the history of The Dallas Cowboys.

This amusement park has a lot of great coasters and other thrill rides. They also have a fair amount of kiddie rides. They do a lot for Halloween & Christmas. Employees are generally pleasant. Food is overpriced.

I had never been to an electric go karting facility. This place rocked. Karts are fast, but safe. Staff was very friendly. I spent a few moments speaking to the manager about our experience. He was genuinely appreciative of our patronage and made us feel that customers were important. You don't see that as much anymore.

Six Flags Hurricane Harbor

Reviewed By DarkArmyElf - Boise, United States

Fun attraction can keep any age entertained with plenty of food yo choose from. Spent most of the day just floating around the lazy river though highly recommend exploring and trying all the slides and rides there then chill out on the river. Planning another trip in the upcoming summer.
