Went with a group of friends for the 90s video store. Loved it so much we took a lunch break and returned for the dollhouse! The staff were friendly and fun. The rooms were a fun challenge, but also weren't impossible! It was our first time going and we will continue to explore other rooms in the future.

I went with my four kids to the 90s Video store. My children range from 16 to 11 years old and they all couldn't stop talking about it. The setting was really well done and the challenges were very well thought out and exciting. Highly recommend it.
