  IQ Escape offers an immersive, one-of-a-kind escape room experience. Our escape games are all about fun and allow groups of co-workers, friends, and family members to experience 60 minutes of themed adventure - designed to elicit unmatched thrills and excitement! We don't simply ask you to "escape the room", IQ Escape teams may be tasked with solving crimes, saving the world, traveling through time, or pulling off the perfect heist! Additionally, we don't ask you to fumble through a series of combination locks and puzzles - like our less inventive escape room brethren. We expect you to navigate through a well-developed adventure, modeled with seemingly real life tasks and storylines. Great for kids 8 and up. We do require at least one adult in the room for children under 12. Parents will assist in keeping the kids on track in the room! We are able to customize the difficulty level by giving additional clues to younger groups! (less) ... Read more

  Longwood Gardens

  A Longwood Christmas November 24 - December 29, 2018

     Our exquisite Conservatory is reminiscent of the splendor of France's Versailles with fanciful topiaries, imaginative wreaths, ornate mirrors, and more than 50 trees trimmed in classic holiday hues and sparkling crystal ornaments. Thousands of floating cranberries, apples, and gilded walnuts create an intricate mosaic in the grand tradition of a French parterre garden. Outside, colorful fountains dance to holiday music, strolling carolers herald the season with song, and a wonderland of a half-million twinkling lights await.
