Teens can hang out with friends in their own social media center, complete with movies, Xbox and billiards, while kids four to 12 enjoy educational and interactive activities in their club. For the ultimate multi-themed family escape game, play Athens Clue together or enjoy cooking classes, a greenhouse tour and dance lessons.
