Luckily we started out as 2 people then jumped up to 6. We tried the Depths theme. I 'twas my first time doing an escape room. They had a room with lockers to put our stuff in. The puzzle/escape rooms were detailed and cool. Overall, it was a fun and challenging experience! Highly recommend it. Staff was fast and friendly to assist us.

After doing over 50 escape rooms in five states, I can hands down say this location is the best we…read morehave ever visited! The staff that helped us including Kira, Maria, Ben, Jen and Zildjian were all amazing! They all made our time at the Mall of American Escape Game the best time we have ever had. We ended up doing five rooms in two days because we wanted to keep going back! If you are ever looking for a fun, challenging, bonding experience with friends or family, stop by this location and give it a try. You won't be disappointed!!

A few of our group members came earlier in the year and mentioned that the games were different. So it seems like they might cater the games to different groups/sizes.

They were patient but perky dealing with a group of neurodivergent girls who did not take their meds that day or have caffeine. Parking was easy since it's in the West End. Bathrooms are single stall, clean and spacious. They had everything you needed to get into the game from drinks, energy, spunky banter with just a few minor technical issues.

KIDS AT HEART Anyone…read morefrom 2 to 92 can have a blast at Mall of America's indoor theme park. Located in the center of the USA's largest mall is Nickelodeon Universe, a sprawling 7-acre amusement park covering 3 floors.  It's open year-round from 10am to 9pm with reduced hours on Sundays, and tickets can be bought online or in-person. I came here once in 1998 as a kid (back then it was called Knotts' Camp Snoopy) and in 2026 I returned with my wife and kids of my own.  Despite a colorful rebranding in 2008, this place seems frozen in time and looks virtually the same as when I visited 28 years ago.  Wow! We took advantage of specially priced "toddler Tuesdays", where kids admission is only $16.  A full day adult wristband is $52 but specially marked 'deal days' bring this down to $42.  Important note: if you have a kid under 48", you can go on rides with them as a designated chaperone and not have to pay!  This is HUGE and saved us $40 since my wife got to ride for free. There's enough attractions inside Nick Universe -- 26 in total -- to fill up an entire day.  I've delved into each of the major coasters plus the outstanding Log Chute (legitimately one of the best in the country) with separate reviews, but here's a brief summary. * Pepsi Orange Streak: a custom steel family coaster with a mesmerizingly long train, and one of the OG rides here * Fairly Odd Coaster: a chaotic spinning coaster with a decent amount of G-forces (beware the slow dispatch times) * Avatar Airbender: a brief U-shaped ride with a funky surfboard train and spinning seats * Spongebob Squarepants Rock Bottom Plunge: an intense roller coaster with 3 inversions that nearly scrapes the glass ceiling * El Circulo del Cielo: a large Ferris wheel delivers a relaxing ride and offers great views of the park * Shredder's Mutant Masher: an inverting 'Frisbee' ride with a Ninja Turtles theme, great for teens * Log Chute: a STELLAR log flume with a super long ride time and wonderful Paul Bunyan theme that doesn't soak you My 5yo son loved the Big Rigs, Crazy Cars, Diego's Rescue Rider, and Guppy Bubbler.  Our 2yo daughter enjoyed the Adventure Bay kids play area but kept her distance from most of the rides.  Swiper's Sweeper was a surprise hit, a 'whip' style ride where small cars on an oval track drift around tight curves. Staff were ~incredibly~ friendly and cut us plenty of slack when I brought my son with me on a couple rides that weren't part of the Toddler Tuesday discount wristband (oops!)  They waved us through and said, "don't worry about it, have fun!"  Big kudos to them for grace and understanding; this went a long way towards a 5* day. * TL;DR * It's always 72° and sunny inside Nickelodeon Universe, perfect conditions for fun. This amusement park is home to a plethora of rides including 5 roller coasters (1 kiddie, 3 moderate 'thrill' coasters, 1 'extreme' coaster), a Ferris wheel, bumper cars, a fantastic log flume, a drop tower, a swing ride, a dark ride shooter, and lots of smaller attractions. While I can't comment on the quality or cost of food within Nick Universe, I do feel that we got a great value for admission.  We felt safe and the ride operators we encountered were very kind.  The natural sunlight gives this park wonderful energy year-round. If you've got kids (or if you're an adult who really likes rides), I highly recommend spending a day at Nickelodeon Universe!

They had me tables and chairs that you came sit and wait in front. Staff checked in with our group to make sure all have signed a waiver in advance to ensure quick check in lines. They have a couple kiosks that you can sign the waivers too if you haven't done so. Once all w checked in, we were stamped and gathered to follow instructions/procedures. It was a workout!

When I looked them up they offer laser tag, nerf gun tag and VR experience. We decided to try the nerf gun experience. You can do it in 30 min intervals or hour intervals. If you don't do it often 30 mins is plenty it's a lot to running around and your adrenaline going'. Tons of fun and ridiculously intense! When we went it was a very small group just 4 of us with one random person. Make sure to wear eat wear. They can provide it for you or get your own. Definitely want to go again but make sure to dress comfy and to sweat.

Wear comfortable clothes and shoes! When you enter, you'll need to sign a waiver and put your belongings away in a locker. Then you enter a hallway with several rooms kept dark since the focus is lighted displays. The rooms each feature varying skills like throwing, pressing, running, etc. Each member of your team will scan your wristband and then choose the type of challenge to play in the themed room (there are several different challenges per room). As long as you don't fail and no one is waiting to play, your group can advance as far as you want. This MOA location is more expensive and seems busier than Roseville, but it has a couple more rooms including unique ones to Roseville and the benefit is you can walk right out for food after!

Jared and the team at Activate were awesome to get us set up, help us with the games and make sure…read morewe were having a great time. Grid, laser room, portals, and Mega Grid were definitely our favorites. My 6 year old had a blast; it's great for kids and adults. The games are relatively easy to figure out except the first room on the right, we tried that one a couple times and were confused. Once we got to Grid with the lights on the floor it was great and did it about 6 times. HIGHLY recommend. An hour seems short outside, but we were exhausted after 30 minutes. It gets addicting trying to win but I think longer than that would have sweat all the way through our clothes! Thanks for a great time while in MN!
