But we still get joy out of doing well designed escape rooms (this location for Dr. Madblood). I like that they have lockers to store your belongings. Our game master was great! She is very passionate & enthusiastic! She was kind to say we were only two steps away from solving the room. But when we asked what the remaining steps were, haha it was way more than two! There are some multi-layered puzzles. Just don't make the same mistakes we did. Doing the same thing over & over again or trying different variations of it and expecting different results. It means you have to look at it differently. Also curiosity and determination will help. The props are way better at this location than the Easton one, or at least than the Ghost Ship one. It was nice to chat with our game master & another employee after our game. It's refreshing to see employees who enjoy their job and are excited about creativity in the rooms.

But let me tell you we still had to press that "hint" button because there were a few times we didn't know where the items were. It had my teenagers thinking outside the box which I loved the most.

We booked with Mission Escape Rooms for a fun weekend activity to do. They are located inside…read moreArundel Mills Mall, in Neighborhood 2. This was my first time trying Mission Escape. We booked online in advance to get the time slot we wanted, but if your schedule is more flexible, there is currently a 15% discount special for walk-ins through 11/2/2025 (there are plenty of ways to kill time in this giant mall). I'm used to being paired with strangers, but each booking with Mission Escape is private, so your group will have the room to yourselves to figure out the puzzles and clues. It is an experience after all, so despite booking by room, you still pay per person (~$40). You should get there a few minutes early to sign the waiver. They also have restrooms inside to take care of business before you go locking yourselves in a room for an hour (technically 50 minutes). After we filled out the waivers, we were escorted to our room and the gamekeeper gave us an overview of the experience. Pictures are not allowed and phone use is not really allowed, other than to use as a flashlight or calculator. The room also had a small clipboard with paper and a pen if you needed scratch paper. For the fall season, they have some spookier themed rooms. I'm not into scary, so we did the Fantastical Chocolate Factory room (naturally). The room has a 6.5/10 difficulty, which I would say is one of the easier rooms. The rooms are small. We were a group of two, and three would've felt like a crowd... but they allow you to squeeze in up to eight people! Based on the room difficulty and our experience with escape rooms, two was plenty. They have an intercom system if you need to patch in for clues. They'll also give you warnings as time elapses (20 minutes remaining, 10 minutes remaining, etc.). We did need to ask for one clue towards the end... beware of red herrings (but that's part of the fun). Our goal in the chocolate factory room wasn't to escape, but rather to discover the secret recipe for the everlasting gobstopper. By "recipe," they mean "ingredient," which felt a bit anticlimactic at the end. I would've appreciated more debriefing at the end of the experience. With 10 minutes remaining, I went into panic mode and was able to crack the locks with the information that we had, but I'm not sure if we solved every clue as intended. When we "escaped," a staff member opened the door, congratulated us, and escorted us back to the front to snap a picture with their photobooth props. Other escape room companies have better branding to advertise their name, or allow you to at least snap one picture to showcase the room. Overall, it was a fun way to spend an evening. The decor inside the room was realistic to fit with the theme, the puzzles are a good balance of feeling challenging enough to make you problem-solve, but not so much to make it feel impossible, and there were subtle clues in the room to guide you along without having to ask for help constantly. I would book another experience with Mission Escape Rooms.

There were a few red herrings, which made it a lot of fun, and a few moments where I definitely was frustrated a clue too me so long to get- it was really clever attention to detail They have a live clock in the room & pop-in to ask if we wanted clues or needed assistance; there are time warnings well notified- it was a good balance of support Would definitely return to try other rooms (p.s everything was super clean & ample hand sanitizer everywhere!)

The one in Severna Park is one of my favorites to take the kiddos because it has a great mix of interactive toys and buildings. Just to name a few: - an area for crafts - one of those motorized air funnels that you can put a scarf in - ice cream store - grocery store - doctor's office - vets office - a recycling truck with slots to sort different recyclables - a play house with kitchen stuff - pretend firetruck and firehouse with hose and slide You can also opt into extra add ons that allow you to participate in crafts you can take home (think DIY activities like slime). I like that there's only a finite number of spaces for time slots so it never gets too crowded. You should check their website before going just in case they're sold out (I believe they do allow walk ins though). They also have punch cards for a slightly discounted rate. It's usually around $18 for a single visit, but comes out to like $15 a visit with a punch card at the time of this post. I would totally recommend for little ones, but they may start to get bored for any ages 5 or older.

I accompanied my mother so that she could see her great grandchildren enjoying the birthday party, but there is no way to reach the party rooms without taking off your shoes. Even TSA doesn't require people over 75 to take their shoes off to go through security. There should be a designated walkway for adults who merely wish to observe to reach the party rooms without removing their shoes. After explaining to the staff that taking off her shoes was not a possibility for my mother, one of of the staff members said they have shoe covers but she took so long to get them that my mother gave up. And expecting people to enter public bathrooms without shoes is unhygienic.

I remember when Dodgebow first came to the area -- though I believe the Hanover location was first…read more Before the pandemic, I told myself I wanted to go, but for whatever reason, it fell off my radar. I think I tried to get people together, and I just wasn't committed enough... plans fell through. So I forgot about it... until a friend said she was celebrating her birthday and this was the activity. I jumped for joy in anticipation of the outing. Our group arrived with plenty of time... and once our time slot was up, they let us put our jackets and pocket contents in little cubbies. Dodgebow is literally dodgeball with arrows. The bows are so easy to draw, and the arrow tips are soft and foamy. Having been a dodgeball team captain recently, AND already enjoying basic archery, it was my time to shine. We had a couple of practice rounds hitting targets and getting a feel for the field. It had inflatable obstacles to hide behind, and there were targets on the opposite end where we could revive our teammates. It was such a fun time, and I'm either considering this location or the other one for my birthday. I cannot wait until the next time! Oh, by the way, the staff were friendly and happy to answer any questions we had.

I am *overjoyed* that this area was not developed into another cookie-cutter subdivision. There used to be several educational buildings that were open to the public, but now the main attraction is the animal-viewing areas. It's fun to walk around the farm with the kiddos to see the cows, horses, sheep, geese, chickens, and goats up close. Every fall [weekends in September and October], the farm operates a corn maze and other kids' activities. We took our duo two weeks ago. Chickadee enjoyed the tractor ride ($2) and kids' hay maze. We'll take her back soon for the haywagon ride (25 minutes; $4--departs on the hour) as well. Bring a picnic lunch or snack and make an afternoon of it! Prices are reasonable, and the staff is super-friendly. Will definitely make this an annual tradition.
