While I have done 30+ escape rooms across the country (and overseas), Jason and the team at Try-N-Escape were top notch. We did both the Hang ‘em High room and Sara Has A Secret. Hang ‘em High was great. It was a good mix of brain teasers and attention to detail puzzles. We got out just in time. Now on to Sara Has A Secret... THIS. ROOM. IS. PERFECTION! The puzzles were very smartly done and the experience was unlike anything we’ve done befoee. I can see why this room has the incredible reputation that it does. We can not recommend this room any more highly. Go immediately!!!

Burt Aaronson South County Regional Park

Reviewed By TravelQ6492QE - Florida, United States

This is a large and very varied park. All of which is immaculate. We came for a nice open-air walk, no golfing this trip. Although most people were not wearing makes, it was a nice breezy day and you could always move away from people. It is such a calm and happy place. From the father/son flying a kite, people playing in the dog run with their dogs, picnics under the pavillions to people using watercraft. Everyone is enjoying themselves. So many things to do here. We even saw a bunch of adults playing Dodge ball. Plenty of open space. Worth the drive.

The surprise couldn't have been better. Darah arranged everything. From the champagne flutes to the red carpet and the Happy bday balloons. The driver even arrived a few minutes early. Prepared the car, had the AC cranking and was waiting for the girls as the walked out of the house. Their faces said it all! A huge limo for lunch for her 11th!. Black Pearl handled it all. The driver was courteous and a great driver. The car was spotless. Definitely would recommend them. Definitely will use them again!

Reviewed By MarkWBoca - Boca Raton, United States

As members of the museum, we were invited to special early hours for members-only viewing. What a delight! The Boca Raton Museum of Art is always outstanding, with wonderful traveling exhibits to supplement their collection. But those members-only visits were like an oasis in this coronavirus desert.

Beautiful beach location and one of the only ones in the area where you can pay by the hour - worked best for us as we only wanted to stay for a few hours one afternoon with the kids. The playground is new and had a large iguana visitor which was fun too :)
