Not in Kansas: St. Louis Has a Wild 'Wizard of Oz' Escape Room

Escape rooms are all the rage and if you're up for a potential road trip, heads up that there's a St. Louis place that has an escape room themed after "The Wizard of Oz".

If you're at this Wizard of Oz escape room, you really aren't in Kansas anymore. Kudos to Only In Your State for taking notice of this and putting it on my radar. It's St. Louis Escape which has this wild room that would freak out even Dorothy and her little dog, Toto.

This St. Louis place has more than just Wizard of Oz. There's a cellar, a pirate room and Egyptian also. If you like mummies, you'll want to pay special attention to that last one.

From what I've found, St. Louis Escape is located at 1517 South 8th Street downtown. If you see this, you're likely at the right place.
