We first did the lost city and we finished before time was up. We had so much fun we decided to try the hardest Mona room. We finished with 12 mins to spare. The rooms were awesome. We had such a good time figuring out the clues. Mona was definitely a lot harder we actually asked for a hint. But when you finish you really feel like you've accomplished something. My nephew and son are two bright men and I wouldn't have gotten through the game without both of them. We worked real well as a team. Bathrooms were clean as was the building. I love that they have puzzles on the tables while you are waiting to use a room. They had over 10 rooms to choose from. Can't wait to go back again.

My husband and I tackled the Clue-Dunnit room and had an absolute blast. It was intense, immersive, and honestly, such a great way to bond and have fun. We finished with just seconds to spare, which made it all the more exciting. If you're in Sarasota area and looking for a fun, interactive experience, I highly recommend trying out an escape room - you won't regret it. Pro Tip: Go with people you communicate well with - every second counts!

This truly was so much more than anticipated. I had no idea how this worked. About a week before the show, each person received an email of the character they would be at the dinner. A nice description was provided of that character's personality as well as suggested attire. All people at our dinner came dressed for their role. Then the fun began. Food was good, wait staff was excellent, and the evening's leader kept the show rolling. An awesome experience. We'll be back again for certain.

This…read morewas my second time going to the Pineapple Kitchen, I had previously gone for a charcuterie class. Which was 10/10, so I had high expectations for the Murder Mystery Dinner. Overall, it was a nice time. We did a private buy out so it was only our group of 18. For the price the Pineapple Kitchen fell a little short. Since it was our private group and my birthday I requested a chocolate peanutbutter cake as dessert. I offered to bring my own in, Jenny (the owner) said their pastry chef could make it for us. Great, it's my favorite and it is my birthday after all. We got carrot cake instead. Jenny, apologized about the mix up but didn't offer anything to off set the disappointment for me, she did say she wouldn't charge us for the cake but the dessert was included with our $90/per person and she never mentioned an up charge for a custom dessert request. She could have cared less that my birthday dessert was a disappointment. They also double booked us so we were asked to push our 6:30 dinner to either 4:30pm or 8pm. I had the mahi wasn't palatable IMO, but the chicken was excellent (I had a bite of my friends). The dressing on the salad was okay; I wouldn't get it again. The serving and bartending staff were amazing and made up for the issues I had with the food. Overall, I wouldn't go back for the food but would go back for the experience and time with my friends.

It's actually designed to be completed over multiple sessions, and they have a system to save your group's progress so that you can come back and keep working from where you left off. We had so much fun and will ABSOLUTELY be coming back to keep tackling the AI room. Anybody in the area who likes escape rooms or wants to try one out should absolutely come here!

It had been on my wish list since way before social media-and I'm so glad it got off the list and into my memories. Ariel W's review contains a wonderful history of the Selby. I'll direct you here way, for all that great info. I can confirm: it's right there, just south of downtown, on Sarasota Bay, with a gorgeous view and a large parking garage. There's an indoor plant area, full of orchids and other delicate blooms-and a building upfront that hosts exhibits. I was so in love with the weather that day, I had just had to get back outside. I promised myself I'll go back and spend more time inside. But this was one of those days where you feel like you're blinking sunshine-breathing flowers. It was just sublime. (Thanks, Ken) I couldn't get enough of it. We wandered the entire grounds, which include a rain forest area, a big treehouse for all ages, flowers, plants and trees of all kinds, a kids activity area, a huge open green area, to stroll or run out your angst or energy and benches in certain areas, to just sit and take it all in. It's the prettiest way to clear your head-escape the grind-find your zen. You could spend a couple hours or a whole morning/afternoon here. I believe there's a restaurant or two on the property or adjacent to it (check me on that). I cant wait to come back at Christmastime. We're so lucky to have these beautiful gardens nearby.

Most of the visitors that we passed were over 80 & were eager to share what cold location they were visiting from. We wandered through the desert, tropical gardens, through the children's rainforest ... admiring statues and moving Calder mobiles on the way. The paths, flora, statues & mobiles were well marked.

Selby Gardens is a tropical, urban oasis of over 45 acres of bayfront sanctuaries, connecting people with native flora and regional history. The gardens include the Downtown Campus on Sarasota Bay & the only botanical garden in the world dedicated to the display and study of orchids, bromeliads, gesneriads, and ferns. The Historic Spanish Point (HSP) Campus is located less than 10 miles south along Little Sarasota Bay, one of the largest preserves showcasing native Florida plants.
