Witches and wizards of all ages are invited to join us to celebrate Harry Potter's birthday and the 20th Anniversary of his first adventure arriving on our shelves.

The escape room is now sold out, but feel free to drop by the Rabbit Hole between 10 AM and 7:30 PM to see if any spots open up. If attendees cancel or do not claim their spot the day of, we will allow other attendees to attend an escape room session on a first come, first serve basis. Given the enthusiastic demand, we hope to schedule further chances for this escape room in the coming months.
