OMG! Amazing experience! Loved it! I highly recommend this place, especially for a family trip…read more VERY friendly staff. I wish I got the names who helped my family and I just to give them a shoutout. Bear in mind that this experience is not as easy as it may look on YouTube LOL. A bit challenging at first. However the staff and instructors are very knowledgeable and will guide every step of the way to keep you and your family safe. Take advantage of the group/share packages!

First time trying an escape room and both me and my 13 year old little (Big Brother Big Sister…read moreprogram) loved it! I won't give any spoilers but we had a great time trying to solve the various mysteries and puzzles to (shocker) try and escape. We did the Claim the Throne quest and it's def pretty tough for two. I booked an appt online for two the day before. Cost was 20 dollars a person which is fairly reasonable. We received a courtesy call from the establishment 15 minutes before our start time due to their concern about traffic from the UTEP monster truck rally. Super thoughtful of them! Thankfully we were already pulling in. Upon arrival we met with hour host. I didn't catch her name but she was very sweet and friendly. She provided the basic rules and took our phones (placed in a lock box in our room with us). This was to prevent people from taking photos and ruining the surprises! You go in the room and a short video plays to lay out the story. The only negative was the audio quality was bad so it was hard to hear. From there you begin. Your host monitors you from another room and provides tips and hints if you need it. I won't say anything further so as to not ruin anything. But the puzzles are tough and make you think. We had a great time. I would def go back to try their other room.

Slightly spooky and creatively designed escape room. The Slaycation puzzle was incredibly detailed,…read moreand the clues were cleverly arranged. I have never been to an escape room where I've heard players screaming, so that was the most unique aspect of Monkey Mayhem--the added thrill! The only downside for me was that it wasn't as challenging as I had hoped, and apparently this was a level 9 difficulty (out of 10). We got out with 15 minutes to spare. Though we didn't make it on the leaderboard, we all felt that the clues were rather straightforward. The portions that we lost time were for silly things that we should have had the common sense to figure out...which is always frustrating in the end! Regardless, I would definitely recommend this place for first time escaperoomers. I will be coming back to try Quest for Throne (even though the difficulty level is lower) to see if we can get on the leaderboard!

I love art so I could spend hours here. I enjoy learning about all types and just looking at it. My…read morewhole life has always involved art somehow. I've taken classes, I have relatives who are talented artists, I've met several artists in my life. Anyway...Flor de Barro offers classes to the community. They start at around $35 and up. They invite the public to have mimosas on Sunday afternoons. They also have other events for anyone whose interested. For example, their Dia de los Muertos altar/art was great. I enjoyed seeing it very much. They even gave out hot cocoa and pan de muerto to visitors. Follow them on social media and/or check out their website for more info. You can also subscribe to their email blasts. The main thing Flor de Barro is known for is their hand crafted pottery from Mata Ortiz. Mata Ortiz is a small village in Chihuahua, Mexico. It's a 4.5 hour drive from El Paso. Some of the art is pricey but beautiful to look at. However, smaller pieces are really affordable. I saw a tiny pot I really love for $6. I'll most likely go back and get it. There are some larger pieces that cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. The staff is always friendly and hospitable. I like that they don't pressure anyone into buying the art. They let you look around and take photos freely. They're all about building genuine relationships with those who visit. Flor de Barro seems to update their inventory often. I saw a beautiful nativity scene that wasn't there a month ago. Those who aren't in El Paso can also shop online via their website. Several, if not all of these pieces, would make fine gifts. I highly recommend visiting Flor de Barro, whether you plan on buying something or not. We're supposed to learn something new everyday. I think you will here.
