Just a few minutes from the venue, Hyde Park Village is an amazing mix of food, shopping, and specialty stores! You'll find retail like Anthropolgie, Madewell, and Downtown Dogs (everything you could want for your pup!). You won't go hungry with food choices like a fun diner, tacos, the upscale spot: Meat Market, and more! Whether you're in the mood for a good cup of coffee, a glass of wine, or a smoothie, you'll find your beverage of choice at Hyde Park Village! Lastly, you don't want to miss out on their treats. The specialty donut shop, a cupcake ATM, and more are sure to excite! You could even have a fun night out at the Cinebistro or your morning workout at one of the fitness studios.

Note: Hyde Park Village is outdoors, unless you're inside a shop or restaurant. It will likely be hot outside.

Matthew and Jessica love doing escape rooms together. Game Over Escape Rooms are their favorite! Whether you're a couple, a group of friends, or a family, this can be a really fun way to challenge your brain, get the adrenaline pumping, and stay out of the heat!

Note: Last minute openings happen, but this is best to book in advance to get the time slot you want. Also, not a great option with kinder kids and younger, unless you are ready to have some patience or you have one person that can hang with the kiddo more than getting hands on with the puzzles.

Sparkman Wharf is so unique! There's an outdoor lawn to lounge, play and listen to live music, an outdoor biergarten, and lots of food (Most of which are in shipping containers!), and more. Tucked in the back is Splitsville where you can bowl, play pool, darts, or other fun games!
