Gave very clear instructions and was just super interactive which I appreciated. They have so many scents to choose from that you definitely won't be able to smell them all, but I think you can get through a good amount of them to know that you're picking the best scents that stand out to you. I think this experience is definitely worth the money! They hold the candles for you for two weeks, but you can go in the same day to pick it up too just a few hours later. I can't wait to go back!

Your experience begins by choosing 5-12 of your favorite scents from a huge wall of over 100 scents, and writing that on a sheet of paper. You also choose which vessel you want your candle to go in. After that, your scent consultant helps you pick out the three that work the best based on your preferences, and you get to try different concoctions until it smells exactly how you want it! Finally, you get to mix your essential oils and scents into the vessel with wax, and tada!! You're all set!! Honestly, for $50 a person it's not too bad, as some higher quality candles out there cost just as much.

A tough one to rate. As a bar experience, it is great. Staff is very friendly, and the beer list is…read moresurprisingly solid. Lots of options. I had a great Pigeon Porter on draft with some bourbon that I enjoyed very much. The atmosphere is also great. It's all dim lighting, neon, and fun video game themed artwork plastered all over the walls. The problem is - as an arcade experience, it falls flat. During our recent visit, probably 30-40% of the games were out of service, including their only skee ball lanes. And of the ones that are working, several are nearing the ends of their useful lives, and it shows with joysticks that only work in certain directions, or get stuck. It was hard to find games that operated correctly. It's a shame because the collection isn't bad, if the games were all working. They do have pool tables out front, though, if you like your gaming a bit more analog.

First axe-throwing experience. Went out for a work team outing and it was fun, but also a little…read morefrustrating. It took us a while to get our form right but then found some consistency. The place was empty for awhile until another group came in. I felt like it was really pricey at essentially $35/per person for an hour- over $100 for 3 of us. Also, the lanes are really short and we had the axe bounce out of the enclosure more than once. I would definitely try axe throwing again, but maybe somewhere else.

This is a fun stop. Several areas to throw axes and there is also a room for painting and a small…read moreVR game area you can enjoy. What I didn't like was the fact in order to get to the other rooms or walk to another axe board you need to walk in front of the other throwers. You could go back behind them but it is awkward with people standing in their area. There was no problem everyone was aware and would stop so you could walk by but for sure that was a concern for me that I didn't like. The layout could be much better.

Did two rooms here in December 2024…read more The best thing about this place is that the rooms are private. Our first group had three people, our second group had four people. While I can enjoy any escape room, it was great to be with people that we all knew. On the downside, these rooms are not really well maintained. Some of the puzzles were broken, we were told about that ahead of time, so the communication was good. Something broke, while we were accomplishing our mission. And our guide stepped right in so that that wasn't an issue. Would I go here again? Sure. At the end of the day, it's an escape room, and they are still a lot of fun when you go with fun people and don't get stuck with strangers who are not fun.

We ended up being only 5 minutes late, but Chef Titik was so welcoming. The only thing should have been a disclosure about having pets and potential allergies. She made us a welcome drink which was very tasty. She told us a little about herself and experience as a chef. We learned so much inclusive of knife sharpening techniques to how to properly cut fruits and vegetables, putting together seasoning, tips and tricks, and some facts about food. She even took photos of us and shared them. She made us feel like family at home having us over for dinner helping cook. It was such a memorable experience and so unique and perfect for my team. We all love food and travel so this is definitely one for the books. We all had a blast and would highly recommend.
