We were visiting Urbana and were told about this wonderful park. It was a beautiful day for a walk and this was the perfect place to see and experience its beauty. It was during the week and it was not too busy. We were able to relax and enjoy the unusual park artwork and sculptures. There is a paved walking path around the park. Children were playing in the playground. The park is lovely and peaceful.

This is going to be hard to beat! Our group did the "Wizard" and "Cabin" rooms and they were both incredible. The puzzles were challenging yet attainable, the rooms were completely immersive, and the attention to detail was at another level. I've done a handful of escape rooms and none of them came close to this experience. The location has easy parking, and is near a lot of places to eat. Our group opted to do two rooms and had a break in between, so we went across the street for some food. Easy to get to with lots around! Hope we can go back soon!

Went twice with family (including children age 8-12) and really enjoyed both times. It's exciting and a little suspenseful. The science aspects are both effective and really help drive the plot forward. They also provide powerful science lessons, though there's not much time to talk about it while you're trying to escape!

Stopped here over the Thanksgiving break for fresh cider and had to get an apple pie too. It’s the best apple pie I have ever had. The peach pie was the best I ever had too. Perfect crust like grandma made.
