What an awesome experience!…read more This was my first escape room, and Escape Bradenton has officially gotten me hooked. We attended for a birthday as a group and took advantage of a Groupon so as to limit players to the 5 of us. We attempted "Crucifixus" - wow! I'm being cautious not to give any spoilers here, but this room was incredibly challenging and required your wits as well as your courage. Various stages tested our resolve, and each player was forced to bring something to the table at critical points for us to be successful. Open communication and teamwork paid off - we made it out in 50 minutes and in time for a successful escape! I'm excited to try their other rooms soon. This is a bit pricey per person for an hour of entertainment, but when you look at what goes into each puzzle room you can understand the price point. A savvy shopper will drive cost down with coupon / Groupon offers as well.

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!

We solved the case!!!…read more My son wanted to do an escape room for his birthday. I called up some friends and we signed up for Murder on the Manatee. Not sure how we pulled it off with two 11 year olds and a 9 year old running around and touching everything, but we did it. The kids had the best time and were begging to go back to try another room before we even left the building. This place will be a regular for school breaks and fun activities.

Cormorants frequently followed along our kayaks, diving for fish we stir up paddling. Large White Pelicans grouped on the huge sandbar, Ospreys dove from the sky for fish and Egrets, Pipers and more birds were plentiful. We also were shown small crabs climbing the mangroves as we explored the passages of tunnels. We would recommend this excellent guided tour.

I had some prior experience, but my boyfriend did not. Greg quickly gave him a tutorial on getting on the board, paddling, and standing, and within half an hour, my boyfriend was paddling like a pro! We explored the Shell Key Preserve area, benefiting from very little wind, thanks to Greg's advice on the best day to go. Along our journey, we were fortunate enough to see bonnethead sharks (harmless), horseshoe crabs, herons, osprey, and needlefish. We paddled through beautiful mangrove tunnels while learning about the various types of vegetation. A highlight of the trip was stopping at a glorious white sand beach, where we swam for half an hour. The best part was seeing all the cormorants surrounding us during our three-hour adventure! It turns out that cormorants frequently use paddleboards and kayaks to their advantage; the shadow from the SUP scares fish hiding in seagrass beds. Greg was genuine, approachable, incredibly knowledgeable, and informative--paddling with him felt like having a flora and fauna guidebook by our side. He's the kind of guy you'd want to be friends with, regardless of whether you book a tour with him. We felt safe, entertained, and had a brilliant day with him!

We made our reservations, not knowing that it was a scare room called the basement as well LOL. Let me just say HAMBONE is the man and will not disappoint! What a rush! it's about like hunting rabbit you have to be very, very quiet and fast LOL. They have a great introduction that tells you about the different locks and puzzles you will be dealing with in the room and further instructions after entering it. The game is very exciting and will not disappoint. This was one of the best nights I've ever had.

The Manatee River is in in Manatee County, Florida and runs between the cities of Palmetto, to the…read morenorth, and Bradenton, to the south. It is a 36-mile-long river in the northeastern corner of Manatee County and flows into the Gulf of Mexico at the southern edge of Tampa Bay. Wildlife in the river include manatees and alligators, as well as, various types of fish. Shrimp is, even, harvested from its waters. Around the Manatee River is a birder's paradise with many species of birds can be found. My favorite is the wood stork, which is listed as endangered species. A few of the birds are considered threatened such as the snowy plover, bald eagle, Florida scrub-jay, and peregrine falcon. Other common birds that can be seen around the Manatee River include cattle egret, white ibis, great blue heron, and yellow-crowned night heron. Human development has a great impact on the environment of the Manatee River. Development (slash & burn) had increased greatly in the area surrounding the Manatee River and surrounding area, and not surprisingly, the water quality within the river has decreased. The use of organic pesticides is increasing danger in the ecological communities. The destruction of the forested wetlands and uplands for housing tracts, etc. in the area has caused excess nutrients to build up in local reservoirs. Also, in these reservoirs there have been increased levels of lead, zinc, and copper. Earth Day in Palmetto has included clean-ups of the banks are local wetlands. We need to pledge to stop polluting these essential waterways. They are home to the creatures who call this river home. It is, also, affecting the health of people who get their water from it.
