Review only relates to activities and meal because we did not stay overnight. We were surprised to…read morelearn that you don't need to spent the night to reserve activities, archery and ax throwing, along with dinning. The property is gorgeous, flowers everywhere and various water features. Definitely felt like we'd stepped right into The Shire. The staff was super friendly and helped us through the property and explained what access we had as non-guests. Ax throwing and archery were really fun and not crowded, each group had dedicated lanes. After our hour was up we migrated to the dinning area and all sat at our separate tables. Meals are seated together with a pre planned menu. Food tasted great. Since you prepay for the meal and activity there is no waiting for the check. But remember to tip the staff because that's not included in the prepayment. They have a jar on the entry table to the dinning room. Would love to return to as a guest and get the full experience.

We recently visited Ancient Lore for the dinner and movie experience. We were excited for the…read moreevening and, given the premium price, expected a comfortable and enjoyable experience. The highlight of our visit was definitely the food--it was absolutely fabulous and exceeded our expectations. Unfortunately, the movie experience was disappointing. The seating was uncomfortable, and from our original seats it was difficult to see the screen. We eventually moved to the chairs at the front for a better view, but they were even less comfortable. The biggest issue was the noise. Several overnight guests remained in the viewing area talking throughout the beginning of the movie instead of watching it. Their conversations were loud enough that we could barely hear the film. While a staff member did ask them to be quieter, the talking continued until well over halfway through the movie, making it difficult to enjoy the experience we had paid for. I was also disappointed with the drinks. The photos made them appear to be around 8-10 ounces, but they seemed to be only about 5-6 ounces. At $12 each, they did not feel like a good value and were not what I expected based on the advertising. After our visit, I reached out to management privately to share these concerns because I wanted to give them the opportunity to address the issues before posting a public review. Unfortunately, I never received a response. The lack of communication was disappointing and is the primary reason I decided to leave a two-star review. Overall, the food was grewt, but the uncomfortable seating, lack of a quiet viewing environment, the disappointing value of the drinks, and the absence of any response from management left us feeling that the overall experience did not justify the cost. I hope these concerns are taken seriously and addressed so future guests can fully enjoy what has the potential to be a wonderful evening.

The staff was awesome, and super flexible with our group, they do special games for Bachelors! Very fair pricing all around, the equipment was solid and they had everything you need, and maps are good size to make games competitive and faster paced. Not sure how many games we played but it was quite a few and we had our fill. When open play started we didn't miss a step, and mixed teams to make games fair. All around, great experience and would recommend.

You can tell a lot of thought went into the tech and set design--it made the whole thing really immersive without feeling overwhelming or confusing. A few of the moms with us had never done an escape room before, and they all felt comfortable, had a great time, and already want to go again. That says a lot! Huge shoutout to Jimmy--he was awesome. He showed us some of the other rooms beforehand and made the whole experience even better. They also took our group photo and sent it to us almost immediately, which was such a nice touch. And one thing I really appreciated: it didn't feel stressful or intimidating at all. No weird pressure or trying to scare us--it was just genuinely fun from start to finish. Highly recommend if you're looking for something different for a night out!

What a fun day!! We've been talking about going to @defyescapes in Knoxville for a while now to…read moreplay Reel Time Rentals, and it DID NOT disappoint! We loved it so much we played Midnight Monster Madness, then Tracking Bigfoot, and ended with One Hit Wonder. When I tell you these rooms were some of our favorite escape rooms ever, I'm not exaggerating. We had a blast. We finished every room with 15-17 mins left, and only asked for 2 hints total. These rooms are challenging but not 'my brain hurts' level. I even got a free t shirt for my birthday! Our game master was my favorite one yet, and we've had some good ones! We've played over 100 escape rooms and this one is definitely top 3 for me! We're excited to come back to play their seasonal rooms when they open. If you're ever in the Knoxville area (or pigeon forge/Gatlinburg) and want something fun to do, make the trip. You won't regret it!

The owners are friendly, kind, and accommodating. The facility itself is super clean, full of light, and airy in a modern way. If you haven't been to a Good Sport Night (they host them monthly), do yourself a favor and book yourself for one today! Please note: The single one-star review is a complete falsehood. The Central Collective doesn't serve food nor have tables. It reveals that this person has never even been inside or know what kind of business this is. This person was upset that they parked illegally out front and their car was towed. Further, the review includes a photo that you get by googling "cockroach gif." It is not a customer photo. https://goo.gl/AKpY2J

I mention this because my original review had been removed and I was accused of writing a review for Deep Well Farm, without ever having been. I have taken my daughter, twice with her school, and I am the guy who paid for 2 wristbands, in the parking lot, with apple pay. Deep Well Farm advertises that, with admission, kids can choose their own pumpkin from a field. In practice, that has equated to "kids can pick out a pumpkin from massive cardboard bins of pumpkins, on skids", just like Walmart. After paying $10 for a very humble pumpkin, I was really surprised they hadn't even gone to the effort to lay the pumpkins in the dirt field, where they drop you off. My kid was unimpressed with the experience of going to an actual farm and picking a pumpkin out of a bin, just like Walmart.

When we arrived we were told due to drought and spraying of grass the corn died, but there is a small maze for the little ones. Let's just say it's the size of a baseball diamond and lame. Also no hay bales to play on due to mites. So basically it's a playground for $15 per person. Save yourself the $$ and go to a park. We will not be returning!!
