New entertainment venue joins list of store openings at Concord Mills mall
Concord Mills has several new store openings and more are planned, including entertainment venues.
Among the additions at one of North Carolina’s largest shopping centers is an escape room opening this spring, mall owner Simon said Wednesday.
The Escape Game, at entrance 1, will feature five themed rooms: Prison Break, The Depths, Playground, Special Ops: Mysterious Market and Gold Rush. Each story-driven mission is 60-minutes long, and players get clues to uncover and puzzles to solve.
What else is new at Concord Mills?
▪ Doodle Reef, Sea Life’s newest attraction, opened last month. Guests can create virtual fish that come to life on a display screen at the aquarium’s new interactive exhibit.
▪ Alex Baby & Toy, open at entrance 5, carries toy brands including G.I. Joe, Masters of the Universe, Lego, Marvel and Star Wars.
