Oh my goodness when I say a good time, we had a good time!!…read moreWe celebrated my nieces, 19th birthday at the madhouse rage room in Petersburg, Virginia. The welcoming hospitality and attention and detail, safety requirements and safety resources for all to remain safe while having a good time were impeccable. We had a large group so we had both rooms. One was a car room and one was an electronic room all of our PPE "protective gear" was supplied by the company face shields, and damage equipment was also provided. This was definitely something that I would recommend for those that are seeking to get out frustrations to use as a meditation ritual in getting out an anger and frustration. Try it for yourself or with a group you would not be disappointed!

You have to be very observant and work in coordination with your team, otherwise you won't make it out in time! The owner was very friendly and the clues interesting! You must work as a team and systematically work through the clues. Fresh eyes are a must, so rotate through your team! You get three hints if needed. A portion of the proceeds go toward elephant preservation! All in all, it was a fantastic experience!! So. Ring your friends and coworkers!!!

I found this escape room which was close to upper Shirley vineyards and added this to our friend's…read morebirthday celebration! We're a bunch of escape room fanatics. :) We did the elephant shujaa room where the objective is to hunt down the poachers. You enter a tent to search for clues to hunt down the location of the poachers to capture them. I really did feel like I was in Africa with the heat (haha). Points for immersion :) We were provided with a walkie-talkie and 3 hints if needed. Sleuthing around the tent required being very observant, attention to detail and team work. The clues made sense and were not convoluted. I wouldn't recommend the max of 8 people. It can get tight in there. Maybe 2-5people. We had a good time despite the heat. We broke out with 11min and 29 seconds to spare with a group of 3. If you're in town, check this place out! I hail from VB so the next time I do come it will be if I'm in the area for other things.

SCAM ALERT Today was…read moremy daughter's 8th birthday, so we decided to support a local business and take the kids to Swaders Sports Park for arcade fun. I purchased multiple game cards for my daughter and two other children so they could enjoy themselves and save up tickets for prizes. My daughter was beyond excited after landing the 250 bonus on the Big Wheel Spin game... but when we checked the card balance afterward, the tickets were completely missing. While trying to resolve the issue, an employee directed me to the manager -- described as a white-bearded gentleman. On the way to speak with him, we witnessed another child hit a 1000-ticket bonus on a separate machine, and those tickets also failed to register. When we informed the manager, his response was:"If you hit 1000, you should tell me immediately." I explained it had literally just happened less than a minute earlier. His response then changed to:"Well, it says you didn't even play that game." At that point, I made it clear that I'm someone with a public platform, and I fully intend to investigate whether this is simply a flawed ticket system or something much more concerning involving children and families losing earned prizes. To be fair, I want to mention that the majority of the staff were actually polite and friendly. My issue was specifically with the handling of the situation by management, which came across as dismissive and unprofessional. Also worth mentioning: the kid zone was closed for "maintenance" during the visit. Parents work hard for their money, and kids deserve to receive the rewards they fairly win. I'll be looking deeper into how this ticket system operates in a deep dive video investigation documenting this issue for the world to see. Please leave a review if you've had similar experiences with this manager or this situation.

The arcade is also overpriced but that's ok because it got somewhat better. Do go with your kids but not so much for parties.

Tom was our guide, Hailey, was the other rafts guide, and both were awesome. Tom knew so much about the area history and is very experienced guiding. Such an easy trip to make with fun rapids (III's and sometimes IV's). I'm sure all the guides are great, but we will ask for Tom and Hailey first next trip. Pretty impressed with this outfit. (Wish they had more merch to purchase though, just imo).

Three levels, you can shop for chic Bicycle accessories, bicycles themselves, or rent a bicycle to take a tour of the city. You can also book trolley car tours here with absolutely top-notch guides.

Located right downtown and pretty much right on the waterfront of the James River. Exquisite! Not to be missed!

My sister and I decided to treat our friend to the Upper SHirley tour for her birthday. Anne is…read morephenomenal! From the beginning of planning all the way to the end of the tour Anne provided nothing but exemplary service!! Anne is a very kind, caring and sweet individual who is passionate about what she does as shown in the details of the tour. In addition, to her many talents she surprised us with singing for us while visiting Westover Church! She has a beautiful voice!! Anne answered all our questions before hand expeditiously and was available by Facebook messenger, phone and email. Coordination and getting in contact was super easy. We had brought our own decorations with us to decorate our friend's bicycle for her birthday and Anne did an awesome job!! The birthday girl was ecstatic! Ahead of time you indicate your height so that your bike can be adjusted. If you prefer you can utilize your own bike. I find it more convenient to use her bikes and they were comfortable, had three gears and a nice basket to stores your things. Included in the price are some snacks which consist of a peach or apple and seasoned pecans or walnuts and a water bottle. I recommend bringing an additional water bottle or bring a camelbak if it's super hot. Anne was nice enough to start our tour earlier as a request to avoid the hotter parts of the day. We began our bike adventure from Upper Shirley vineyards with stops along the way to learn some history including VCU Rice Center, and passing many plantations. It's a lovely tour that allows you to bike throughout america's history despite it's harsh realities. Majority of the route is along part of the capital bike trail (which the capital trail is 52 miles). Although you won't be biking the entire route, the tour is 14miles. You do have stops along the way. It's do-able if you don't necessarily work out on a daily basis, but fair warning you may get tuckered out. There's some slight inclines nothing major but my out of shape self was beat, but I did it! :) At the end of the tour you return back to Upper Shirley Vineyards. Anne provides nice cold wet towels infused with lavender to cool off upon your return. You have the option to add lunch for an additional price. We chose this option and it's well worth it!! Anne has a good network within her community. The food at Upper Shirley was delicious it included an entree, a glass of wine, and two shared appetizers. I think the tour itself includes the wine tasting only and you can possibly exchange the tasting For a bottle of wine instead. This was a great way to celebrate! I highly suggest it for anyone who likes to bike, likes history and or enjoys wine! A unique way to celebrate birthdays, do a family outing, bachelorette parties, girls' day out etc and or date nights and to stay active, enjoy the outdoors and explore! PSA - (could stand for personal instead of public service announcement haha) Do NOT try to take a selfie on a bike while riding on a rocky or gravel path. Trust me. I got cocky, because I did it the first time on the ride and no issues and on the way back I took a second selfie and wiped out! The wipe out H-U-R-T, but Anne was super nice about it and was very compassionate and caring. She ran to my aid and cleaned me up and bandaged me. She even offered to get her car and take me back. But I said I was okay to bike back and I was. Even after we got back to the vineyards she attended to me. So you know you're in good hands if a mishap should happen, even if it is your own fault :/ Sorry Anne! Thanks for taking good care of me!!! Recommendations: Bring an extra bottle of water or Camelbak if it's a really hot day. Use sunscreen. Bring sun glasses Wear only sneakers or sandals that are secure that have a back strap to it. No flip flops Have a good time! It truly is a wonderful time! Be safe, don't act like a fool like I did ;)
