The members and staff are very helpful when you have questions and there's a wide selection of tools to use that most people wouldn't have the space or funds to access on their own otherwise. You do need to take a class before using each type of tool / equipment to ensure you're using everything properly and safely, which is totally reasonable. The classes are reasonably priced as well. If you're looking to learn new things and have a creative environment to work in, I'd definitely recommend checking them out.

I was made aware of the Dimensions Gallery thanks to an advertisement on my Facebook feed, and the…read morefiance finally surprised me with tickets. Reservations are needed; my guess is that they want to space out the visitors, so we aren't tripping over each other or accidentally ending up in each other's photos. Based on square footage, the gallery is smaller than I had expected, but it does have some neat exhibits. There are floor markers to serve as suggestions on where the photographer can stand, and the staff gave us a brief intro and even offered to step in as a photographer if we needed it. We were told to budget for an hour at the gallery, but I felt that was at the top end of the time allotment. Honestly, it could have gone much faster depending on how much time you want to play around with the camera angles and how many different pictures you wish to take. My advice: if you are tickled by different angles producing camera magic, make a reservation and really take your time playing around with each exhibit and exploring different angles and the results they produce.

Believe it or not, I found this place by looking around our hotel on Google Maps. It turned out to…read morebe a bit more fun than I had expected, but TBH I did not have high expectations. We had some time to kill during our trip, so I booked a time for my group to come in. It is a pretty small spot, but it is well thought out "gallery" to take fun or silly photos with your group (or date). It's like different backdrops for you to take your own photos. Plan to spend at least 30-45 minutes, so that you are not in a rush. You'll want to try different poses and angles for each space/scene/exhibit. My fave was probably the anti-gravity room, the optical illusion space (the one where each side makes a person look super big/tall and the other side shrinks the person, like Alice in Wonderland). Don't miss the mirrored room towards the back. Reservations are a must, at least currently, they don't take walk ins.

This was my second time going here :) The staff are always so fun and friendly, they really add to the experience. They also make sure to make you feel comfortable before starting and are more than happy to guide you through everything no matter how many questions you have. They have VR escape rooms as well as VR games, both are super fun but I'm personally a fan on their escape rooms because it is so different that your usual escape rooms that you see. The first time I went there we tried their Chernobyl escape room, it was a 3/5 star difficulty but we managed to escape 2mins before the hour!! It was so much fun, their VR technology is very impressive. When I went this time, I tried their Sanctum escape room which was very eery for me (I'm also easily scared so this might not be the experience for everyone). There were no jump scares in this one but it was based on a cult so it gave me the heebie jeebies! This was also a 3 star difficulty level but this time we managed to escape 15mins before :) since we had 15mins remaining, the staff let us play VR dodge ball to kill some time which I truly appreciated!! They are honestly soo nice! Their waiting room also has some arcade games that you can play to pass time. I can't wait to back a third time and try some of their other escape rooms!

They have lots of VR gaming options and as just my son and I, we narrowed it down to Arizona Sunshine and Propagation, both zombie apocalypse games. We opted for Arizona Sunshine. A little bit of a learning curve on the reloading but we both sorted it out. Checking vehicles for extra ammo is a must to be successful to get to the next level. And love that they can track your game progress so when you return, you can start off where you ended the last session. It was so much fun and the staff were so helpful. It was a positive VR gaming experience and happy to recommend Evolve VR.

I really wish that my best friend was with me 'cause he loves glass and everything that is glass art related. Very nice pieces of work, most infuse some great color.

From large scale paintings and fine art photography to exquisite sculptures, the diversity of her gallery offerings are such a breath of fresh air. The customer service is just as exceptional as the artwork and it's always such a joy to walk in with a cappuccino to explore what's new. Whether you're a serious art collector or just diping you toes in the art world, I highly recomend a vist to Jennifers gallery. It's a rare gem in city otherwise full of cliche art. As an interior designer, there is no better way to breath life into a space than with fabulous artwork. Nothing will kill a space faster than mass produced HomeSense style prints.
