Tickets are $45 per person and there are 6 different escape room games to choose from.
• Play golf: May seem like an odd inclusion, but hear me out, you all dress up as rich old men pretend you know how to golf but really just spend the day attempting to get the ball somewhere near the hole and driving around in golf carts. Finding a golf couse that will allow you to play may however be difficult unless the old man look is really sold.
• Ice skating: a day spent blasting frozen songs while falling over on ice sounds like a good day to me. Not to mention that for a student pass it’s only $20 or $25 for an adult. I assume this includes the rental of skates though I cannot see this n their page.
