It was clear that a lot of care goes into creating a space where people feel comfortable learning something new, regardless of their experience level. TJ was fantastic. He brought so much energy to the session and was extremely knowledgeable about both the history of archery and the mechanics behind it. What really stood out was his ability to teach in a way that was supportive, patient, and motivating. He made the entire experience feel safe, relaxed, and fun, which made it easy to fully enjoy the activity. The compound bows and arrows were excellent quality, and everything was well organized and professional. It honestly made for such a unique and memorable date. We left feeling accomplished, excited, and already talking about coming back. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something different, fun, and uplifting to do.

The intro class explains how to operate and load a bow, give helpful pointers---all the while explaining what goal the advice helps achieve and how things work. The instructors are very patient, helpful, and work to ensure the archers walk away with an understanding of how everything works and ties together. On the administration front, the team was very accommodating and worked with us to put together a package that met our specific group's event and needs.

They brought music and items for games and helped us to have a really great time! It is EXHAUSTING running around in those balls. I took away a star because the balls kept losing air and needed to be refilled after games. The guys said they get new balls annually, so some of them were showing age I guess. We had a really good time, and it was a fun and different activity! Definitely worthwhile checking out with these guys!

What an amazing Mother's Day treat I had today with my 10 year old son at Sea Kayak Connecticut!…read moreHaving been on other SUP adventures while traveling, I was thrilled to find out that this was available locally and even more excited to introduce it to my son. The website is super informative and gives so many helpful details to plan your adventure whether you are going on the SUP or kayaks but what's more impressive is when you arrive, you are greeted by a super friendly staff and the owner David, is super knowledgeable about what's appropriate for your experience level and then guides you on how to get the most enjoyment out of the time on the water. The equipment was all either brand new or kept in like new condition which is definitely a huge bonus since I have rented boards at other places that were not kept in condition like these. There is a convenient and super clean locker room and bathroom available to get changed in and then lock up your valuables just steps away from the dock where you launch. You can tell that a lot of thought has been put into making every detail of your entire experience fluid and flawless. Since this was my son's first time, the staff helped tether his board to mine which made him and I much more comfortable. After we launched we had an incredible couple of hours enjoying the beautiful weather and such a special day together. I can't thank you enough David and your wonderful staff for making this a very special memory for my son and I! My son already asked when we will go again. After seeing another guest on the 'Step SUP today, I think it would be super fun to try that out and read that Sea Kayak offers motorized SUP as well... I mean, c'mon how cool is that!! I think it goes without saying but I will anyway... I highly recommend Sea Kayak Connecticut, I know we will definitely be back for more!!

We are scheduled to attempt two of the three rooms that they currently offer. The facility is located inside of an office building on the main floor. Once you enter the lobby there's a large waiting area w/disposable cameras & water bottles for purchase. The first room that we decided to try is their most advanced one "A Broken Mind: Psych 102". The room starts off divided into 2 groups. Obviously, teamwork is extremely important in order to help each other out. This room had a little bit of technology implemented and it was utilized cleverly. The decor complemented the theme very well and the puzzles stuck to the storyline the whole time. Normally the suggested amount of people is four, but the two of us managed to escaped with 3 minutes and 42 seconds remaining. The next room we are scheduled for is "Last Resort"."Last Resort" is classified as an intermediate room. The minute that you we stepped inside "Last Resort", we noticed a lot of upgrades in the decor and the design. We felt immediately drawn into the storyline from beginning to end. There were some locks and technological puzzles that we've haven't seen before which made the experience all the more interesting. Overall, Panic Room CT delivered great customer service and we can tell that they are constantly stepping their game up! We can't wait to try their new games in the future! *For more info, check out my Yelp profile.

I came to visit my family in CT for the week and we decided to do an escape room for old times…read moresake. We went to the Stamford CT location with high hopes and our thinking caps on. We chose Biohazard because it has a higher difficulty and we can usually "escape the room". The room wasn't 100% ready when we arrived.. some locks were undone, there was no paper for us to write on.. bottom line, things were missing. There were too many locks and not enough story line. The four of us were minutes away from escaping but ultimately didn't make it out. The guy running the place.. think his name is Matt, was kind of abrupt once our time was up. Felt like we were rushed out. There were TWO more puzzles we had to solve and it's not like there was a line of people waiting to get in.. it would have been cool if he let us finish the last couple things. The room has potential but overall, we found it disappointing.
