    ESCAPETHEROOMers visited this location in July 2018. This is location is upstairs of the Palisades Center Mall. We had a group of six and got to the place right when it opened. The game masters were very accommodating and started us right away and there was no wait in between each rooms. The lobby is an open area with just the entrance to the three rooms. You enter into the same hallways but get debriefed at a different door each time depending on the game you are playing. It's definitely a more fun experience if you attend with people that you know share the same momentum and goal. Purchasing all 3 games is the most worth it, but when it gets busy you may have to share the room w/ random people or have to wait in between rooms. We're glad that we decided to try all 3 and receive the full experience. As for the rooms, if you like Disney rides, you are going to love these! The high tech quality of the props, storyline, and surround sound system implemented were all state-of-the-art. One minute, you'll feel like you're in an Egyptian tomb, the next in a futuristic spaceship, and then entering a hundred year old castle. The puzzles were not hard, some were actually pretty much geared towards kids. This is not your typical puzzle-heavy escape room. You are really here to experience a movie set and immerse yourself into it like an actor on set. We enjoyed all 3 rooms, but if we had to pick a favorite, I would say the "Tomb" is up there. They will give you a score at the end, pending on the time you spend in there, how many errors you've made, and if you used any of the clues or not (the clues are "voluntarily" given pending on the time you spend at a specific location because remember these are 30 minute rooms so the game will push you along and will not let you be stuck at a place for too long). Check out our proud scores below. Maybe not the castle one.. *For more info, check out my Yelp profile.

    First Escape aroom type experience. Not too long or too scary. Fun for all ages. Can be a little pricey but a good way to bond with others.

    We came here for a classmate's 7th birthday party. Upon entry, a party host inquired which party we…read morewere attending, crossed off my daughter's name, and asked what her ice cream preference was. Straight off the bat, it was very organized. We arrived a few minutes late, but we didn't miss much, as they initially started out with the kids playing in the soft playground area. The room has a rock wall, soft gym (no shoes) with ball pit, and a bouncy house. There was a host in there, watching the kids. There is a small area for parents to sit. The venue space is pretty big. It definitely looks like a warehouse that they kind of mismatched things together, to make it an event space/family amusement space. The look is odd. Some of the party rooms resembled wedding reception halls, with the kind of decor they had. I mean, the kids didn't notice but I'm sure the adults will wonder why, as we did. After the soft playground, the kids got to go on some of the rides. They had all the kids line up in an orderly fashion as they all calmly transitioned from one space to the other. They had fun driving the bumper cars. Parents were able to ride with smaller children that could not drive in their own. Our party was filled with 6, 7 & 8 year olds, so most were able to fit three kids to a car. They also have a Free Fall ride that a lot of the kids liked, and a more intense, Super fly ride, that I was surprised my kid even went on. The hosts definitely let the kids know that it's a scarier ride, without scaring them. They simply asked who's brave enough to try out Superfly, and the more reserved kids got the gist, bowing out. After the rides, they went back to the soft playground, where parents recevied coffee and the kids played until it was time for lunch. When the hosts gathered the kids for pizza and ice cream, they brought them to the party room, and immediately gave them all hand sanitizer. Everyone had pizza and lemonade, already waiting for them at their table settings. There was plenty of pizza, so the parents were also served, if we wanted. The birthday boy got to make his sundae first, and then they served all the kids ice cream with whipped cream. This part kind of grossed me out. The hosts initially had on gloves when serving the pizza, but took them off when serving out the ice cream cups. Soon after, I noticed one of the hosts with whipped cream on her finger, which suggested that her bare hand was coming into contact with the whipped cream coming out of the can. She kept serving the kids the whipped cream, and then proceeded to lick her finger, and go right back to serving more whipped cream. She licked her finger a second time, and gave the whipped cream can to the other host. I was so disgusted, but relieved that she had already given my kid the whipped cream prior to the first lick. They should be using gloves the entire time they're serving food, especially with this being flu season, covid still on the loose, and the additional threats of RSV, and the dreaded norovirus. If they're handling anything someone will be putting into their mouth, they should 100% be using gloves the entire time. These kids are already germ factories. I don't want to have to worry about getting sick from a party host. After lunch, the kids were given game cards to use for 20 minutes of arcade play. Most of the games reward the kids tickets to redeem for prizes. We stayed even longer than the 20 minutes, and we're not rushed at all. Some of the arcade games are pretty old and beat up, as were the bumper cars. A lot of the items they have looked like they were purchased secondhand from closed down carnivals, and the like. Looking at their older pictures, it seems their former location was filled with carnival rides and games. They've definitely downsized, but it also looks very disjointed inside. They need to ditch the catering hall tables, chairs, high cocktail tables, and silver wedding-style decorations, and put in more kid-friendly furniture, that fits the vibe. It should be nice it they had more seating for parents in the soft playground area. As I said, the kids probably don't even notice how odd the layout and decor is. They'll have fun regardless. You can visit on your own if not attending a party. It's around 20 dollars just for the soft playground, rides and rock climbing range from 4-7 dollars, laser tag is 10 dollars, and you can also purchase arcade cards in several denominations. After the arcade, the kids were able to count their reward tickets and redeem them for prizes. They still have the archaic way of earning and counting tickets. The tickets are paper and you have to bring them to a machine that counts them, and provides a slip with the amount of tickets available for redemption. The prizes aren't that great, unless you get loads of tickets. Our kiddo still had a good day, and I told some other parent friends of mine about this place, so I may return.

    What a weird spot for an amusement center. Located off the Saw Mill across from a mini mall area,…read moreSportime USA looks like an abandoned warehouse behind some trees. Barely any signage, even in front of the parking lot and in the entry way. I've never seen less effort put in to highlight a business. Going inside, it's not the most organized in the world. Have to kind of figure out where the cashier and everything else is. Kids play tunnels are already if quite a bit dated. Nice bouncy house at least. Rides in the back looked cool even if nobody was there. Games were a disgrace, as multiple different machines didn't function correctly. That aside from the crane machines, which were unwinnable because of when the claw grips on (it doesn't). Ticket-to-prize ratio was pretty scary, even by today's standards. Know there is laser tag however my son is too old at this point. Place seems geared primarily to events, however even then, why would you pick here other than location? Light Eyes P's review was spot on: Chuck E Cheese or Billy Beez is a better bet for kids, and Dave & Buster's is a better bet for adults. Laser tag or a few carnival rides isn't enough of a draw; if you want the latter, Rye Playland is better. I appreciate what they were trying to do here and I'd rather they be here than not, however this is not what it could be for the $.

    Have not been here in ages and it was nice to walk around and see all the old rides. Along with…read moresome new attractions and the park has definitely been renovated a bit since I was last here. Nice views of the water along the boardwalk. A very cool old-school retro feel, like America and apple pie days of the past. The park's grounds are well maintained. As some mentioned there were rides which were not open but hopefully this summer all will be operational as it's a nice day trip to have some fun. It's a very family friendly place and good for the kiddies. Food is available but it's basically carnival eats - pizza, hot dogs, burgers, ice cream, fries, chicken fingers - which is as expected. You come here to enjoy not worry about your diet. Hopefully the new ownership who took it over will have everything up and running this season.

    It's definitely an experience…read more Parking was easy breezy since there are plenty, and most likely because the amusement park was barely packed. Admission is free, and rides were free for my 23 month old son, he had just made the 36" mark to ride. We only brought one $15 adult ticket for rides since someone had to watch our new baby . Like most reviewers mentioned, there are quite a few rides that were closed, probably around 1/4 of the rides were not operating on a Saturday! Fortunately, there was minimal waiting for rides. 2-5 minutes max, or no wait at all! The rides are not in the best conditions. We spent most of our time at the kiddie section. I went on the submarine ride with my son and ride suddenly stopped at the top as it was half way through. The jolt (when the ride stopped) was so big that my back spine slammed into the seat. It was painful and quite scary for myself. I asked the operator about what had just happened on my way out, and he said it happens often!! Horror!! Your food options are extremely limited. Pizza ( cheese or pepperoni), chicken fingers, fries, hot dogs, burgers, ice cream, and pretzels. I may be missing a few! I was in shock to learn a bottle of purified water would cost $4.50, so pack your own water to stay hydrated!!
