LOCATION: The establishment is located in one of the side streets, and depending on where you approach from, it might be a bit of a climb. This can be slightly more challenging if you have a stroller with you (as was the case with me) VENUE: A reasonably sized place, divided between two floors. Be warned that accessing the upper area is by stairs, so it is very difficult to take a wheelchair / stroller upstairs. The place is not too spacious, but has enough to entertain you for a couple of hours. ACTIVITIES: There are many activities and illusions that one can partake. One of the better activity is the Vortex Tunnel, guaranteed to put a spin on things. There are a lot of interactive puzzles that you can participate in. Some of the miniature sized puzzles can also be bought at the reception area. PRICE: For the experience, the place is quite reasonable priced. OVERALL: Definitely worth spending a few hours to relax and challenge your mind.

Right on a cliff's edge at the courtyard of "Metekhi Church", an equestrian statue will catch your attention! This is "Vakhtang I Gorgasali", King of Kartli (Eastern Georgia) between the 5th and 6th centuries and Tbilisi's founder. According to legends, one day King Vakhtang was hunting in the forests of his country, when his falcon chased a pheasant that fell from his beak into a hot water spring. The King and his servants were quite surprised when they saw steam coming out of the spring in such abundance. Immediately after, the King gave orders to build a city in this site and named it "Tbilisi" - the "site of warm springs"! Amazing legends of medieval times ... King Vakhtang I Gorgasali has been credited with the foundation of Tbilisi and many other towns, castles and monasteries, Since the Middle Ages, he is one of the most popular figures of the Georgian history as a warrior, King and statesman. The "Georgian Orthodox and Apostolic Church" canonized him as "Saint Vakhtang Gorgasali, the holy and right-believing King of Georgia". His granite equestrian statue was inaugurated in 1967, by Georgian sculptor Elguja Amashukeli, and overlooks Tbilisi and its Mtkvari River. Bring your cameras, great pictures await you! Enjoy!
