- Palmer F3 contributionsPerfect date spot (especially on a cold night!)
Super friendly staff! My girlfriend was worried she wouldn’t figure it out (or enjoy it) but the team taught us everything we needed to know to shoot some arrows, fly, and fight some zombies! It was very immersive and fun!
Highly recommend for all ages and tech skill levels! We will definitely be going back.Written 5 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Both days were SO much fun and perfect for all ages. Chris was the best and we all had a blast both days. For context we did both Portsmouth and Boston city-wide hunts and they were both awesome.Written 11 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Vacation678451611442 contributionsHolden was an absolute legend! He's a wonderful human being and he made us feel right at home before, during, and after our game.

- dustythoughtsManchester, CT2,259 contributionsThis amazing escape room is tucked away near the Government Center and doesn't look like much from the street, but don't let that fool you. Check in at the front desk, take the elevator to the basement, and be blown away at how awesome the rooms are! We did The Storyteller's Secret and had a wonderful time - the room was the perfect balance of challenging puzzles and a fun storyline (no pun intended)! Our game master was super nice and gave us unlimited clues, which we appreciated. We'll definitely come back here to try the other rooms. The prices for this place are much more reasonable than some of the other escape rooms in the area.Written 15 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lea C4 contributionsLiterally amazing!! We saw I think about twelve whales in total and at one point we were surrounded by 5 or 6. I got incredible pictures and we were so excited by the experience. Crew was great, informative, and very caring for the people who were seasick.
For anyone reading this, take Dramamine. I don’t care if you never get seasick, take it. People watching for the 1 hour drive out to the sanctuary was almost as fun as watching the whales when we got there. People sweating bullets, stumbling to the back with dog bags, and vomiting. And this was on a really good sea day!
Enjoyed so much thanks for the experienceWritten 11 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This tour is a must if you love stories about crimes and gruesome murders - including the Boston Strangler.
Tony brought the stories to life with his detailed knowledge and unbelievable story telling.Written 7 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The staff were helpful and the equipment was excellent. They gave me a 17 foot Wilderness Systems Kayak for the regular cost.Written 8 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jacob C-R2 contributionsThis past June-early July I got the opportunity to join a Motorsport Lab trip exploring automotive history & excellence in Germany. I cannot express how truly amazing it was.
From the balcony of our wonderful hotel overlooking the Nurburgring on the first night, to the factories and museums of some of my favorite automotive marques (BMW, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi), to exploring the architecture and natural beauty of cities such as Munich, Esslingin, the Neuschwanstein Castle, and much more, nothing could have prepared me for the amount of extraordinary things I would see in such a short amount of time.
The museums and factories were mind blowing, the hotels stunning and incredible (especially Motorlworld in Munich, a supercar lovers paradise) and the organization of the trip, from pickup at the airport in Frankfurt through drop off at the airport in Munich was perfect.
One of the best parts - getting to explore a part of the automotive world with other enthusiasts such as myself. As a student in the field it was incredible to see the diversity in opportunities all while exploring the world I love with others who love it just as much as I do.

He was very knowledgeable about the area and the fish. Took us through the harbor and great fishing spots.Written 1 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ZenRiderSaratoga Springs, NY229 contributionsOur tour was cut short due to gusty winds and heavy choppy waves. A few woman on our tour were frightened and the tour operator Russ cut it short and refunded money. The boats are really fun 1-2 seater 13' yellow speed boats with a fuel injected electric start 30hp motor. Easy to drive, easy to park. Each boat has a CB radio. Good premium life vests and well trained staff ensure this is the very best experience. Further, the harbor is pretty. I'll return on a calmer day. Beats the duck tour with a wet oar!!Written 27 August 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
