What age should play?
Everyone can play and enjoy the experience together!
However, our games are not designed to be an age appropriate challenge for children ages 0–7.
Younger guests are still welcome to join their group, but may need extra help or may not fully engage with all puzzle elements.
All players require a ticket.
However, if a child is small enough to remain in a stroller, they may be brought along without a ticket while being wheeled through the experience.
