No Escape Iowa
Escape room center
👍👍 We had a group of 3rd graders do an escape room for our boys birthday. They did the Teachers Pet and loved it. It took them 1 hour 7 minutes to complete it and did need help/clues from staff along the way but still had a great time. We appreciated that the kids could do the room on their own while t...

Time Out
Bar
👍👍 Fun bar with vintage arcade and pinball, along with more modern games. They all take quarters, and the bar area hosts various specialty nights, such as trivia night and karaoke. Reminded me of the 80s arcade Dark Star located in campus town.

Iowa State Center
Event venue
😐 It was a good overall experience, I just don’t understand why they get mad at you for taking OPEN seats in the closer rows. The season ticket holders didn’t show up, so the seats should be up for grabs.

Haunted Forest
Haunted house
👍 For some reason this is under my daughters name, but we went last night with some of our friends and their kids, about 14 of us all together. The wait wasnt to bad, the staff was friendly. As far as scary goes, the kids all thought it was scary to a point, even the 19 yr old. My son, we scared, b...

👍👍 Just to clarify, this review is solely for the arcade at Underground. There's a friggin' first gen Dance Dance Revolution machine running DDR Extreme! Since nobody ever visits this place (let's face it, the bowling lanes are terrible), there is minimal abuse on the relic first gen machine. The pe...
