Out on the Town
Looking for something more lowkey? Head to Downtown Navasota to check out the new Red Velvet Inn & Gallery. The inn hosts a variety of artwork in the main entry foyer and gallery room, as well as in the parlor and dining rooms. The gallery is free and open to the public for viewing Fridays and Saturdays from noon to 7 p.m. and features a wide range of artwork including work from local artists and an exhibit featuring the artwork of students from Navasota High School. Guests who visit during the month of February will also receive complimentary champagne and chocolate covered strawberries, courtesy of the inn. The inn is right next to downtown, so guests also have the ability to explore the area’s great new food options and window shop.

Double Date
Looking for something that is sure to keep your mind wandering? Put your skills to the test by trying to escape one of five rooms at Escape Rooms BCS. Plus, a sixth room will be opening this spring loosely based on the 1975 Academy Award winning film “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran at escape rooms or new to the craze, grab your special someone and a couple of friends to try your hand at escaping. For beginners, it is recommended they try their hand at the Classified room rated at a difficulty of 2.5 out of 5, to put your team to the test. Sherlock Adventure or Secret Attic Society, might challenge even the most experienced escapers, both rated at 4.5 out of 5 stars. Each room gets one hour to escape and allows multiple clues provided by the game master when teams are stuck. Bookings can be made online and are available Wednesdays through Sundays at various times. Private events (minimum 10+) may be scheduled anytime.
