Escape Rooms near Murrumbeena
Planning something in Murrumbeena? Our Chadstone (Oakleigh) venue is minutes away, three rooms with live availability below. Below is a day around the village and Boyd Park with a game folded in, the reasons an escape room fits the plan, and live times you can book now.
A day in Murrumbeena
Murrumbeena is a village with an artistic streak and parks on every side. Here is a day worth building around a game.
Murrumbeena Village
The Murrumbeena Road village is the suburb's heart, artisan cafes, wine bars and boutique shops with a real community feel. Daniel Son (a Karate Kid-themed cafe) and denim-factory-turned-cafe Levi handle brunch, and the Oasis Middle Eastern bakery on North Road is a local legend.
Boyd Park and the art trail
Boyd Park is named for the Boyd artistic dynasty, one of the great families of Australian 20th-century art, and there is a self-guided Boyd walking tour of the suburb's arty landmarks. The park itself has trails, a playground and picnic spots, part of the Outer Circle Linear Park.
Parks and a wine bar
Murrumbeena Park has an all-abilities play space, and the Murrumbeena Wine Bar runs live music and a book club for a low-key evening. Chadstone is a short hop across the border for anything else.
…then the escape room
