How many times have you been to the (official) Whit's End?

Let's see who wins

Whit's wiping down the counter, Connie's mopping the floor, and the kids are sipping on their milkshakes. If you want to talk about Adventures in Odyssey the radio drama, this is the spot to do just that!

I've been once.

I expected it to be disappointing, from what I'd heard... so I was pleasantly surprised. I'd go again. Probably when I have my own kids, though.

I've been there many times. During the internship, there was days that instead of going to the cafeteria's for lunch, I would run to Whit's End to grab a hot dog or slice of pizza. It's probably not worth going to Whit's End just for the sake of going to Whit's End, but if you get a chance to tour Focus on the Family and see the studios and everything, then the trip is really worth it.

I've never been. But, it's on my list of places to go! Hopefully sometime in the not-too-distant future.

Considering you are in Malaysia, I'd guess you haven't been there (and we are talking about the Whit's End at FOTF headquarters in Colorado, not the official site).

I've been several times. I went with my family two or three times when I was in elementary school, and I went again this summer. It was definately worth visiting for me.

I saw pictures of your visit. (I think that Dancer was there at the same time.)

I'd love to go, it looks pretty fun...

Do some fans treat it like Comic Con and dress up as their favorite character? I just got done watching Comic Book: The Movie (co-starring Jess "Wooton" Harnell!!) is why I ask.

No no one dresses up. It's kind of a whole bunch of little kids running around. It's a little more based for younger children. But hey it's still odyssey. It's neat to go at least once so you can say you've gone. And they've put alot of work into it so it's pretty fun.

I'd love to go someday! But...only if I was already in the CO Springs area. I wouldn't make a trip all the way out there just for that. Then again, maybe I would! There is a whole lot of other stuff for visitors to see at Focus, isn't there?

oh my word! this makes me mad remembering whit's end, because my family went there and the ice cream was messed up! i so wanted a rasberry ripple, and the people were like, "sorry. it's messed up." *tear tear* i was disappointed, but then i thought that it was sure to be not as good as my expectations (nearly everything isn't) and i let it slide - LOL!!!
