Halloween Holiday World always great! Best surprising things from visit: garlic cheese curds from Gobblers hamburger stand, awesome! Pay the up charge and enjoy! Halloween funnel cake flight (x3): super yummy! Pecan funnel cake, the best. Gravy boat ride: super long wait but still surprisingly fast and exciting (my first time riding). Corn maze: wow! Really, take time and do this. You won’t be disappointed. Dino drone show: once again, WOW! Really fun to watch. Only sad thing: no raspberry or cherry underly ice cream available. ?? And that was really disappointing to me and my family. And lastly, enjoy the fall decorations and flowers, they are lovely.

We felt like we had stepped back on time and we loved it. The park was so clean and well maintained. The different holiday themed areas were well thought out. They have free unlimited beverages for the guests and it was the best feature I've ever seen in an amusement park. They also had ample smoking areas and bathrooms for guests. We loved our adventure here and will definitely be back to check out the waterpark. I dont think we waited more then 20 minutes in any line we stood in.

We were there for the Halloween celebration and DinoMaze. Such fun! Highly recommend the Good Gravy Rollercoaster. Short ride, but family friendly. Lots of fun nostalgic things to see on the way into the boarding area. And of course we had to rife the Freedom Train (formerly Mother Goose, originally Santa Claus Land train). It had been years since I visited Holiday World. Tons of new attractions, rides, etc. Sad that they no longer have the museums, or the visit with Santa though. All in all a wonderful way to spend the day with family and friends.

Amazing for 6, 4, and 2 year old! Seriously pleasantly surprised by how perfect this venue is for little kids and without much planning. We spent 11am to 8pm there and then watched the light show from the car, as we wanted to see it from the park but the kids were tired. Noticed cars line up on the side of the highway just outside the park. When in rome? No regrets!!! Highly recommend on Halloween weekend. It was 50s and 🌥️. We tackled (in order): Lewis and Clark trail, carousel, firecracker, liberty launch, Holliday Halloween express, Fun town (where we ate), Howler, Kittys Tea party, Eagle Fright, Dino Corn Maze, The Voyager (6 yr olds first coaster as she’s over 48”), a few gift shops, Perky Turkey, Gobbler Getaway. Wish we would have saved some time for their Thanksgiving dinner meal at Plymouth Cafe, but started heading out at that point. Soooooo worth it. Core memories made 💕🎢🦖🦕🎅🍂🌽🦃🇺🇸🌭

We had a wonderful time. I rented a cabana near the wave pool. It's a very fun park with attractions for everyone to enjoy. Loved the free soda and suntan lotion. Rode the loved Cheetah Chase. Loved it as well as the Mammoth. It's pretty intense for a water ride. Challenged my 7 year old granddaughter on the racing slides. She loved that. Rode the Voyage and the Legend. Pretty intense coasters but fun. Overall highly recommend this park.

Absolutely LOVED this theme park. There is so much fun to be had between traditional roller coasters and the water park section. We rode pretty much every ride, the lines aren’t crazy long like at other theme parks. The cost of admission is also affordable compared to other major theme parks, they also offer nursing discount, wonderful perk. The rides are so much fun, I love the holiday themed lands. It’s a unique theme park perfect for the family, however, a lot of the rides are for older kids, so I recommend it for older kids. Can’t wait to come again!

Went to the Holiday World Halloween events over this past weekend with the wife and enjoyed our time there. We had the Twilight Tickets which gave us the opportunity to go in Saturday night to watch the Drone Show and then spend the day Sunday at the park. *NOTICE* If you buy this ticket online, you will need to wait in a line/go to Guest Services to get a print out of your Twilight Ticket part for Saturday Night for entry, not the mobile ticket that was provided. Park is crowded in parts (to be expected) with hills that seem to go uphill both ways so be prepared for that. Food choices are typical for a theme park as are the prices (a little high but fair). We enjoyed the adult beverages at the Witches Brew but also plenty of Pepsi Oasis locations to get water/Gatorade/Soda for FREE. Rides had wait lines that went fairly quickly on Sunday but Saturday longer waits happened at the bigger attractions at the park. We enjoyed the bigger wooden roller coasters. Voyage is AMAZING while The Raven, for a smaller Wooden Coaster, beat us up worse than it did. This park is great for all ages with plenty of options from guests young to older. Overall 5 stars will have to visit again in the future.

My bf is a car guy and loved it, I know nothing about cars and also loved it! We drove his corvette so he could drive on the race track. - I LOVED the sinkhole information. You can even look down into the sinkhole, and see a car all crumpled from the sinkhole. We visited mammoth cave national park on this trip, so learning about the cave region really brought it full circle. - well put together museum, it appeals to everyone. I loved the history and seeing the body changes of each generation. Fun to see the paint choices and how they choose interior/ exterior color schemes. I also enjoyed learning about the clay models and wind tunnel testing for aerodynamics. - we played on the racing simulators, fun and challenging! It’s like a vamped up arcade game with full size cars. - I was disappointed that the assembly plant was closed for tours. Still awesome museum visit though! - I collect patches and found patches in the gift shop.

We had a private group tour which far exceeded my expectations. Then we had dinner which rivaled a 5 star restaurant. Everything was so good. The simulators were exceptional, feeling like you were on a real track. Thank you for the amazing experience.

Came thur her a couple of months ago on my way to Nigeria falls and didn't stop so here we are agan. Great visit a little pricey but very cool. lots of cool cars and history of the corvettes. Put together in a timeline in history. Cool cRs for actors and famous people. Cool concept vets you probably wouldn't see anywhere else . Spent about 1 1/2 hours inthw place and seen it all. Cool gift shop and a restaurant. Cool stop very interesting. Keep up the great job. Maby knock the price down a bit but cool. Thanks a whole lot and hope to see yall agan.!!!@@@!!

Great place, displays are well done. Wish I would have taken a guided tour to learn more. Plenty of videos and plaques to read. Clean bathrooms and a nice Diner. There is a sampling of eight cars in the lobby you can see without paying before the cashier line. A Corvette library with records open weekdays only. Went through in about an hour and 45 minutes. Would spend longer watching videos in the future. I imagine the reason there aren't more variety of different vintages is that enthusiast are keeping and driving their Vettes. Gift shop has a great item, managed to escape with only a sticker. To the ladies, this place is husband/boyfriend safe. There are no Corvettes for sale or financing available.

All enthusiasts should visit this place. The museum highlights many of the great Corvettes produced by GM . Classics like the 1963 split window coupe as well as videos of the production of the new C8. The museum has a gift shop with corvette centered merchandise. There is also a place to grab a snack…

If you are a car person in the least you need to see this museum. The Corvette is a clasic no matter what era body style you love the most. I am a split window late 60's person and the examples are breathtaking. Plan on spending two to three hours at a minimum here. There is also a lot of history about the car(s), their designers, and racing that you need to absorbe while you are there.

Great little experience for $50 for 2 people. Lovely corvette. Was actually expecting more cars than there were. Short tour. Was really hoping to see the sinkhole corvettes but there was only one. I couldn't get a pic of it bc there was too many people in the way. The sink hole has been reduced to a tiny view hole in metal doors on the floor. All you can see is the ladder down into the sink hole and dirt at the bottom. That was disappointing. We did not do the simulator even though there wasn't a wait at all on a Thurs morning due to the reviews saying it wasn't worth it due to the lag, which is $15/pp. We were in and out in an hr. We did not try the restaurant due to not being hungry at that time so I can't vouch for it. Overall, if in the area it's worth a view.

I absolutely loved visiting the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville! Their welcome video presentation was phenomenal! It was super creative, heartfelt, and such a fun way to learn about the incredible history of this iconic venue! We bought our tickets ahead of time, and the self guided tour made it easy to explore at our own pace since we were a bit short on time. I’m so glad we came here before visiting the Opry! It really helped us appreciate the roots and evolution of country music and how the Ryman played such a huge role in it all. There’s even a chance to get your professional photo taken on stage, which makes for a cool souvenir to take home! It’s amazing to see that the Ryman isn’t just a museum. It’s still an active performance venue hosting concerts, comedy shows, and special events year round. Seeing a live show here would be unforgettable, I wish I had more time! Important tip if visiting multiple museums in Nashville, I highly recommend starting at the Ryman it sets the perfect stage for everything that follows!

I recall visiting the Ryman during the 80s and we could only go in so far due to its poor condition. Years later I moved to Nashville, and I really enjoyed the live shows and TV Tapings. So many awesome talented musicians, cast, and crew members have made the Ryman a memorable experience. Dolly was filming a TV Special and nailed it the first time, but she said, 'I want to sing again because people have been waiting, and I don't just want to sing and leave.' She is thoughtful, amazing, and classy. The Ryman has such an amazing history that is on display and has been preserved. I love the Ryman and it looks amazing.

I had the BEST time seeing Ella Langley at the Ryman. It’s a perfect venue for a concert. The acoustics were great. She put on a big show, but it still felt like a small club, intimate experience! I can’t wait to go again!!

Our visit at the Ryman to see Tommy Emmanuel was a fantastic experience. Tommy was absolutely incredible, yet the Ryman made it even more so. The acoustics are fantastic and with the balcony and large floor area there really isn't a bad seat in the house. The auditorium is well maintained for its age. The staff were very kind where ever we interacted with them from the concessions to security and admissions to ushers. I really look forward to my next visit to the Ryman Auditorium.

Absolutely fantastic experience. Venue was top notch. Maybe the best in America. Music was impeccable. Had never seen Jason Isbell. Was blown away. The opening Middle School Mariachi band was superb. And I can't speak highly enough of the no cell phone policy. And it's vigorous enforcement. It's been almost 15 years since I was able to enjoy a concert and listen to the music without the traction of a thousand cell phones lit up around me. Thank you!

In town for a conference October 2024 and to my surprise BNL and Toad the Wet Sprocket were playing at the Ryman! I had an amazing 4th row/front row seat. Both bands were excellent! Had a great time!

The tour is very interesting for people that loves music! The immersive video that started the tour was incredible and all the memorabilia was amazing. Really loved being in that room that so many amazing musicians have played. I did the unguided tour and would be very willing to do the guided tour in another opportunity,.

We went through the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. It had a lot of interesting exhibits. The museum also has a number of restaurants inside and a great gift shop. The Red Onion is simply food court style with snacks, burgers, and wraps and tables in the lobby. The Bajo Taco is a fast food like restaurant with disposable plates and a limited number of tables. The best sit-down restaurant is Barliners with great ambiance and live music.

One of the beautiful museum showcasing the Country Music history. It offers an expansive and immersive experience with extensive exhibits on country music history that appeal to both die-hard fans and casual listeners. Exhibits are not just for country music purists. There are displays on artists like Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, and Garth Brooks, along with Elvis's gold-plated Cadillac, making it interesting for a wide range of visitors. You should spare minimum two hours to visit the museum without enjoying shows presented in two theaters.

Better stop than you might expect. If it's really hot and you want to cool down, or rainy and you want to dry out but can't find a great honky tonk. Run in here. You can run through just looking at stuff and reading just a few things in less than an hour, but if you get into it like we found ourselves it took us over 2 hours. Easy to get tickets but recommend getting them early or online. Restrooms were clean enough. Gift shop packed with everything you need. The museum is Usually not jam packed and easy to take at your own pace. Give this review a like👍 or even mark as helpful ❤️ if you've read this far. Find the 6 shooter door handles if you can. Or Johnny cash's leather jacket. Be sure to watch the movie 🍿.

This was a beautiful museum, with food/drink options outside the entrance and a really great gift shop. I grew up loving country music. I was hoping to see more from artists like Reba McEntire, Billy Ray Cyrus, Carrie Underwood, and other artists from that era. I loved that Dolly had her own section of the museum. The museum had kind of a linear timeline. It would have been cool to see more how the music was affected by historical events or things going on within society. It felt a little disconnected. It was like like “XYZ wore this dress to the ABC award ceremony” which is cool too. Overall, it’s a great museum. Very beautiful. Worth checking out. I think it could be even greater though.

As someone who wasn’t familiar with country music prior to walking through the museum, I felt like I was schooled! There were wonderful exhibits denoting the history of this genre. I especially appreciated them including outfits and personal stories from some of the most influential artists! It was worth the entry prices for sure. You can also receive discounts if you’re in the military, a student, nurse, first responder, etc…! It takes about 2.5-3 hours to walk through while taking your time.

Absolutely loved the Country Music Hall of Fame! If you’re a country music fan or even just a music fan in general this place is a must-visit. The exhibits are beautifully curated, packed with history, iconic outfits, classic instruments, and stories that really bring the legends of country music to life. The building itself is stunning, and everything is laid out so well that you can take your time and enjoy it without feeling rushed.

We walked over from our hotel and got right in about 2 pm on Sunday. We spent an hour and a half total, including the the gift shop. We didn't read everything but spent some time looking at everything. It's very well done and I loved the intro to how American music was developed over time. The influences from Europe and Africa are unique. They have several Taylor Swift items which are lovely. The gift shop is full of unique and wonderful souvenirs choices. You can get your postcards and keychains for your friends back home.

This was an amazing experience especially if you love history. It was a lot of information to take in at once, they are ran solely by tourism so please add this to your bucket list. I’m glad we decided to do this tour before leaving for back home in Canada. staff are very educated and welcoming! Must see !! I do however wish we could have taken pictures inside. Cameras are only allowed in the gift shop.

This is one of the best historical tours I have ever been on! My husband and I took our tween boys, who went begrudgingly. Our tour guide was so good that he quickly had them fully engrossed! The home is beautiful, extremely interesting, and full of history of course! We especially enjoyed the original paintings by Matilda Lotz, and were able to purchase a very nice print of one of those works in the gift shop. I will close by admitting my husband is difficult to impress, but he loved this tour! Don’t sleep on this one, just go!

Fantastic tour of an incredible, historic home! The tour was reasonably priced and the home has a lovely gift shop. Evan was our tour guide and he is so knowledgeable. Thank you, Evan!

I cannot say enough good things about the people who operate this museum. You can tell that they are so passionate about the history and love to tell the story. Our tour was led by JT, but every single person there was extraordinarily caring, sweet, and educated on all the history. As a local from just down the road in Spring Hill, I’m actually sad that I never experienced the tour sooner. This is absolutely a must do!

A small historic landmark with a big story! The tour was well worth the $17 donation. Tony is a great tour guide! He is passionate about the history of the house and is a great story teller! Thank you Tony.

If you are a fan of history, especially the nitty gritty right down to the centimeter type stories in history, then this is a must stop. Chuck was a fantastic guide and his wealth of knowledge on not just the battle of Franklin but also the stories of the families in town and their lives after the war. I can not recommend enough that you stop by the house to see and hear the story of the Lotz family.

We're so thankful that we stopped by and were able to hop on a tour of The Lotz House. The craftsmanship, story of the home, city and Lotz family, original war artifacts and Lotz family artifacts were extremely eye opening and truly breathtaking. Evan was our guide, he was extremely knowledgeable and has a great energy. You can tell he really cares about the history of this home, family and town. I would highly recommend a tour of this home should you find yourself in this area. War buff or not, this is a one of a kind experience.

We were there for a NextGen conference. I'm not a "fan" of country music. That said, it was pretty awesome to be seated in a place with such history. 100 years this month! So many names of so many great entertainers. The show was good. If this is your thing, I assure you, you'll enjoy it! The staff were friendly, the venue was clean.

A must see when in Nashville… the history of the building is incredible.. and when you combine the artists that play there regularly you have a winning combination. Suggest buying a parking pass and get your tickets online as the shows are well attended. The back stage tour is worth it for the hard core fans looking for a deep dive. The dressing rooms and memorabilia is very cool to see.

What a surreal experience getting to finally visit this beautiful piece of musical history. Having heard about this place thousands of time growing up in a country music loving family, loved getting to see it in real life. Awesome! Maybe one day I will perform here. ❤️

Wonderful venue. So much history. We have done the backstage tour which i highly recommend. This visit we did a show celebrating The Opry 100th year anniversary. It was incredible. We saw legends like Connie Smith and Junior Brown, the iconic Carrie Underwood, and rising star Preston Cooper. I was hoping Dolly Parton would show up. She was there 2 weeks after we were.

A highly recommended once in a lifetime experience. It’s worth paying the extra money for VIP treatment since you get to go backstage and actually sit on the stage for a few songs. Everyone was friendly and I had a great day.

This was my first time visiting Nashville, and I’m so glad I ended my trip with a visit to the Grand Ole Opry. I’m not usually a country music listener, so I walked in expecting a fun experience but nothing too life-changing. Instead, the show completely blew me away. The performers were incredible, the energy in the room felt electric, and the whole night was this surprising mix of heart, humor, and pure talent. The Opry has a way of pulling you in even if the genre isn’t normally your thing. You can feel the history in the space, but the show itself feels alive and full of joy. It was the perfect finale to my time in Nashville, and honestly one of the highlights of my entire trip. Five stars without question.

I’m not a country music fan at all, but if you’re going to visit Nashville, you kinda have to go, don’t you. I did and I have regrets. It was awesome and fun! Live music, regardless of genre, is just super cool and enjoyable. We had great seats way up high to the right of the the stage. It was really a perfect view. All the performers were great. I really enjoyed it. It is a beautiful venue. Got to subtract one star for charging $9 for a tall boy. Jeez, c’mon, man! Gouge, gouge, gouge.

This was one of my favorite tours of all time. Beyond what I was expecting which was just a look around an old distillery. Well it was way more than that. It was a walk back in time and through America’s history. This tour was incredible for how it took you inside the day to day workings of Jack Daniel’s which is the same today, more or less, than it was back in the late 1800s. They have been making old number 7 the same way as the distillery’s founders did all those years ago. This was a wonderful sensory tour combining visual, aural, and aromatic moments that truly drove home what it is to make Jack Daniel’s whiskey. And on top of that was the tour guide Matt. His wonderful personality and engaging style made this tour unforgettable.

The “all about the barrel” tour was absolutely fantastic! We learned so much and enjoyed touring the facilities. Kayla was extremely knowledgeable and did a great job of explaining everything. This was a highlight of our trip and we would definitely do it again!

We went on "A day at Jack" tour and our guide was Justin. It was an amazing tour, newly added. Justin did a fantastic job and made the day so much fun. We were learning and exploring the distillery and process, Miss Mary Bobo's and downtown Lynchburg. There were stories shared, Jack was sampled, great food was consumed, and plenty of laughs were had.

The All About The Barrel Tour was great. Kayla was very informative, patient and entertaining. She knows all the answers and if she didn't she found them out. She is an excellent public speaker and great tour guide. We got to see inside barrel houses, had slushies, went to the rickyard, saw the special water source and Jack Daniel's office. We walked through the process watched a video and ended at a tasting with a few small take home gifts. While at the visitor center stop in the White Rabbit Bottle shop. Mr. Flanders, the security guard, is friendly and had a great conversation. He suggested other things in the area, the next area we were traveling to, and hotel options. There are other tour options but All About The Barrel is a good one. Locally there is some controversy and are some hurt feelings between the origins story. Come check out Jack Daniel's Distillery and visit the area.

This was an interesting tour. As a Jack Daniels drinker I was able to see how the whiskey is made. My wife who isn't a Jack Daniels drinker for the tour and the information very interesting. It is amazing what goes into each shot of whiskey. This is a walking tour with a tasting at the end. Be sure to visit the gift shop, you will find some items here that are not available in stores.

We visited the Jack Daniel’s Distillery today and had a great experience. Our tour guide, Debbie, was incredibly pleasant and made the whole excursion fun and interesting. We really enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend it!

A really great experience. Let me tell you that you are allowed the tasting and one addition alcoholic beverage which was your choice of Jack and lemonade and or Jack and coke, both are slushies and the slushy is for an additional charge. It was my first tour of a distillery. There were some stairs but not a whole lot. Our host was charming and funny. He told us about the history of the distillery and how they make it all. The tasting room was top notch. They taught us how to really drink whiskey which helped a lot. It was a really amazing tour.

We stopped in here on a road trip. Incredible collection of space history. Would recommend getting tickets in advance if you want to do any of the simulators - that's the only thing that had a really long wait. Sprawling campus - we were there in August and it was pretty hot, but you can get into shade or inside easily. Everything super clean and well maintained. Friendly staff. Glad we stopped here - amazing showcase of American technology and accomplishment. Nice gift store.

The place is huge, a map is provided so be sure to go to each building, some are not marked very well explaining what is inside. Plan to spend most of the day there as there is so much to see. Wear comfortable walking shoes/sneakers and if you have children, a cart or stroller is necessary. Awesome exhibits and staff was available for questions, even Rocket Scientists to talk with. General Admission doesn't include any extras like the planetarium or simulators/rides and they don't offer any senior or other discounts normally. Food was overpriced at 10.00 for a hamburger but you can bring a picnic lunch and eat outside at the picnic tables. All in All, a fantastic place to visit!

First time visitor here- I went solo and I would 100% recommend!! Seeing the rockets to scale was incredible. The entire facility inside and out was extremely clean. So much to see and learn about you could spend days here. I enjoyed the planetarium show and would highly recommend getting additional tickets for it. Was fun to end the day with a show and popcorn. The G force ride and moon shot are included in GA tickets and were both fun!

I hadn't been for many years and it was very much updated! The museum as a whole is very educational and informative about all things space. Not only does it go into the natural wonders of the universe, but also the history and present of space technology, looking into the future via the space camps. I liked the show in the theater as well as all the interactive exhibits. Be sure to grab a map, as there are exhibits in two buildings as well as outside. Even if the weather is not good for touring outside, there are still plenty of things to look at inside the buildings. The staff were extremely pleasant, helpful, and passionate about their work. The food in the restaurant was very delicious. The gift shop also has lots of neat things for sale and you don't even need admission to shop there if you just needed a quick unique gift for someone. This is by far one of the best things to do in Hunstville. I reccommend this experience for all ages.

The U.S. Space & Rocket Center is absolutely incredible. We had an amazing time exploring the exhibits—there’s so much to see that you could easily spend the whole day. The rockets and spacecraft are breathtaking up close, and the interactive displays kept both kids and adults totally engaged. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about space exploration. Whether you’re a space nerd or just curious, this place is an unforgettable stop.

Great place to learn about the US space program. Big bonus were the volunteers that had worked at the Marshall Center. Impressive collection of rockets. Good place for all ages to visit

I visited here with my wife. It had been years since I was here, but I was not disappointed! The displays were awesome and I could have spent days here, rather than a few hours.

So, I think I first saw anything about this place while watching CBS Sunday Morning. I was pretty captivated by it and decided I had to go someday. It is pretty interesting especially all the history they have posted behind it. I felt the prices were pretty high. I feel stuff would fly off the shelves if they reduced their prices. It was definitely worth stopping at and checking out at least once.

Really unimpressed. Purchased online and the number of “excellent” and “good” condition items I received that arrived with stains, snags, spent or twisted elastics, holes, or significant wash wear is absolutely unacceptable—especially for the high price point. I’m picky about condition, which is why I trusted this company in the first place. I returned a portion of the order that I could tell was a lost cause but chose to keep some of the items that arrived not as described hoping I would be able to stain treat them. That was a poor decision on my part. Going through the items again and there are more stains I didn’t even see on the first pass, which is what has prompted me to write this review. Not so much as an apology from the company when I reached out about the issues originally, which would have gone a long way. Instead I just feel sad and extremely disappointed in the waste of money and will not be shopping here again. Highly recommend more thorough training for people inspecting condition of items and responses to emails that don’t feel completely cold and sterile. Really cool concept, terrible execution. I thoroughly enjoy spending my money on secondhand products but will be finding other places to shop after such a negative experience.

Well organized luggage, clothing, accessories, electronics, jewelry, small selection of Halloween costumes, household odds and ends, all with varying prices. Plan on spending a couple hours minimum. There’s a small cafe and a museum with some very interesting finds.

Very interesting experience. There are 2 buildings - 1 is their "bargain basement." The place is huge and has almost everything you could want. Fun to check out whether you buy something or not.

In my opinion, everything is really overpriced. There are LOTS of clothes, and they are clean and seemed in nice condition, but for used clothes I would expect better prices. The town of Scottsboro has a lot of thrift stores, I feel you would get better deals there.

The store is very well laid out and has an unbelievable amount of clothing in men's and women's as well as children's sizes from luggage that was lost or unclaimed at airports around this country, there is also some jewelry and lots of electronics such as cell phones and noise canceling headsets. If you like previously owned clothing at some markdown prices this is the place for you

I ordered some beats from U.B. online last year and they were very nice and a great price for like new earbuds. I just received my second ever older and I couldn't be happier with the items. The jeans are in beautiful condition and they are 130.00 madewell jeans and I got them for 16.99 plus binoculars that were only 22 bucks but work great and are high quality. Finally, I got a mystery box of stuffed toys for my pups but they are so nice and well made, it's hard to not keep them for myself or for gifts. Order came promptly and all and just love the bargains and also love buying things that are gently used in hopes that it may reduce my carbon footprint. Thanks unclaimed baggage!

Maybe the best curated museum we've ever been to. I love bikes and this place was golden. Just enough info about each bike to tell you its place in history without giving you too much to make it boring. They keep nearly every bike in running condition. They said 95% of all the bikes could be up and running in a few minutes. Their restoration shop is to notch. Having the race track outside is a huge entertaining bonus. Go see this place if you like motorcycles at all.

Visited today with my elderly mother, my sister and her husband. An amazing place. Beautiful grounds, pristine and huge collection of bikes and cars. Great views of race track. Interesting bike design area and the staff were friendly, helpful and made it a wonderful experience. I’m from Australia and as a car, motorbike and motorsports nut it was like being a kid in a candy store. I hope to visit again soon. It’s the kind of place I wish I could work at. Highly recommend you visit too!

We were on a trip from Nashville to New Orleans and we saw this museum right on our way. We said we must see what’s goin on in there. Turns out A LOT is going on. Personally I was not very interested in close-history or current motorcycles but vintage ones were wonderful. All those bikes, army vehicles and everything else. One word: wonderful.

Wow! We went on Halloween, it wasn’t busy at all. Absolutely incredible and beautiful museum. So many motorcycles! The race track was gorgeous. It’s immaculate and just breathtaking. The museum is huge, I wish we had a whole day available to take more time there. No expense was spared on all of this, it’s fancy. It’s so unique, informative, interesting…definitely a must see for anyone who appreciates vehicles.

This place is amazing. The world's largest motorcycle museum. Many rare and unique cars and motorcycles. If you are a fan of motorsports then you will love this place. It also has a large track. Jim that works here is a really cool guy. Thanks for showing us around!

If you love motorcycles , this is the place to visit. Exceptionally curated and full of vintage bikes plus a few cars like the beatles rolls royce and Lotus race cars. There's also an onsite track and all located within 880 acres so no one else will ever be around.

This was a little birthday gift for my husband. He was quite surprised and thoroughly enjoyed visiting the museum. Definitely something to go see, even if your not a sports fan.

Great experience in the caverns. Absolutely worth it. The twisting drive up and down the mountain was exhilarating. The guides were amazing. 10/10 would recommend.

The person who guide us thru this cave was so nice and informative. All the way to the end was incredible seeing all the formations inside the cave. Worth the walk to see this beautiful and amazing natural wonder.

Visited Ruby Falls and it was such a cool experience. You go down into the cave, walk through all the rock formations, and at the end there’s this huge underground waterfall — it’s honestly amazing to see in person. The lights make it look even more magical. The tour is easy to walk and the guides are friendly and explain a bit of the history. It’s a fun spot to visit, especially if you’ve never seen an underground waterfall before. Definitely worth it if you’re around Chattanooga!

Getting to the waterfall is such a fun adventure. The elevator ride down a solid rock shaft is interesting and at the bottom there is a waiting area in the cave where you gather to follow the tour guide through the cave to the waterfall. There was so many rock formations to see along the way that made the time go quickly. Our tour guide had an unique sense of humor and we had a great time! Worth the visit.

The first time that my wife and I had been to Ruby Falls since we were kids. We really enjoyed the tour and learning about the history of its founding.

Ruby Falls is definitely worth seeing if you are in Chattanooga. We had an amazing and enjoyable time on the tour. Going down the elevator into the mountain is cool, and the walk through the cave is fun. The best part is the waterfall! The 145-foot waterfall at the end is absolutely beautiful. When they turn on the colored lights, it looks stunning! It’s truly a special scene hidden inside the earth. If you like nature I would highly recommend coming here.

We visited Ruby Falls during our trip to Tennessee, and it was truly unforgettable. The staff was incredible ,our guide was so knowledgeable and passionate, sharing lots of interesting facts about the cave’s history and formations. The cave itself is breathtaking, and the waterfall is simply stunning ,pictures don’t do it justice! Everything was well-organized, and the whole tour felt magical from start to finish. Highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area!

Great place for families and non families alike. Loved the large tanks for the fish, they looked very clean as well. Glad to see the residents had plenty of space to swim around, compared to some other aquariums I have visited. Wonderful butterfly garden as well. I enjoyed that saltwater and freshwater exhibits were separated. Fantastic views of the Tennessee River and the Riverfront area from the aquarium. Would definitely recommend a visit here, if you're in town.

My BF took me here as a b-day surprise and it did not disappoint. The exhibits were lovely and educational. The view of the river from the different levels was spectacular. We really enjoyed ourselves, we came late in the day and it wasn't crowded which was delightful and peaceful - I recommend it!

Had such a great time at the Tennessee Aquarium! The setup and design of the buildings are beautiful — super easy to walk through and explore. There’s so much to see and learn at every turn, from the sea creatures to the interactive exhibits. Definitely a fun mix of learning and relaxing. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re in the area — I’ll let the pics do the rest of the talking! 🐠🐧🌊

This place is awesome!!! We had such a great time!! There's so much to see you could easily spend the entire day here! The only issue is parking (especially if you're disabled). We ended up having to pay to park in front of a condominium in order to have enough room for me to use my wheelchair.

My husband and I thought this was a top notch aquarium. I don’t recall visiting an aquarium with a large focus on freshwater animals. It was very interesting. The flow of the aquarium was really well done. I liked how you started at the top and just meandered to the bottom without risking missing anything. We would definitely recommend this aquarium to others. It is in a great location as well. Convenient to restaurants and hotels. We walked from our hotel, walked to lunch, and then walked back to the hotel.

We are aquarium people, and I've been here before, but my partner has not! We needed to make it a stop on our trip and we both had a blast! Every single member of staff we came across was very friendly and kind. The exhibits were beautiful and we loved seeing the variety of critters they had. I also got to pet a shark in one of the touch tanks, so yeah it was basically the best day of my life. I'm so glad I got to show him this aquarium and can't wait to go back next time we are in TN!

Great water exhibit, featuring marine mammals and lots of fish from salt and fresh water areas. There are two separate buildings and are included in the ticket price. To avoid the crowds and screeching crotch goblins, I recommend not going during the weekend or if there's any holiday vacations going on.

Such a fun quirky place to see. A must see view if you’re near Chattanooga!!! One of my favorite places I’ve seen around Chattanooga and it’s a very kid friendly area. I think it’s a must see for families

Beautiful view. Although it's unfortunate that only those who can afford the price of admission are the ones to get the privilege.

Great experience with the family, if you are on a roadtrip this a great place to visit.

Beautifully maintained park. The view is magnificent from every location in the park.

Definitely a cool place to visit. BUT! do not follow the Google directions turning onto "tower Rd". That will not take you there. Go to Rock City and there are obvious signs to take you there

I live on Lookout Mountain Georgia, so I love it all year round !

Always a great place to visit, beautiful walkthrough nature all the views from lookout mountain

We did the middle Ocoee Trip. We had a group of 8 people in two boats. Our guides, Ace and Cullen, were awesome. This is a highly recommended activity. I strongly suggest going with this company. From Registration, training session, bus ride and the whitewater experience, it was GREAT.

Melody answered the phone when I called for the reservation and each time after, she was extremely kind and informative! Our raft guide was Henry, I PROMISE YOU HES THE BEST GUIDE THERE. He knew the river well and did extremely cool tricks with the raft. He was also very funny and personable which added even more to the experience. While I almost felt like I would died a couple of times Henry kept us very aware of when to do what, so even with our crazy tricks none of us fell out at all.

This was my first time whitewater rafting, and I can 100% say that I loved it! The staff there were super welcoming and friendly, and they all had a light-hearted, upbeat attitude, and definitely made the whole experience that much better! After a scenic drive to the dam where the rafting starts, we met our guide and learned our commands, and this began our trip down the river. I won't spoil the trip, because I definitely think you should do it yourself, but just know that it is definitely worth it. Also, quick shout out to some of our guides, TC Lee, Jack, and Hannah!

My thirteen year old son described this as “one of the best experiences of his life”. We decided to do a father son rafting trip after finding a heck of a deal on Groupon. We arrived at 10:30 for the 11am middle river trip. The facility was clean and organized and the staff was super friendly. You can leave your keys and phone with them, which felt safe. There were clear instructions on how to be safe on the water and were separated into groups. The drive on the bus was fun and the time it took to get unloaded and on the river was impressive. These guys run a well oiled machine. The trip itself was so much fun and I won’t review it so that I don’t take away some of the adventure. It was safe, a good amount of time, and worth every penny. You will get wet, like within the first two minutes. I also highly recommend leaving your phone, camera and anything else valuable back at the lodge or in your car. It’s very clear within few minutes that there’s a good possibility you’ll be swimming. A photographer will get some great photos that you can purchase at the end of your trip. Do yourself a favor and, buy the photos. This trip will be something my son and I talk about the rest of our lives. We’ve even decided to make this a yearly trip and we can’t thank the folks at High Country Adventures for the wonderful experience. Shout out to our guide Ricky, thanks for pulling me back in my friend!

I had the most incredible time white water rafting. We had a big group & some were rafting for the first time (naturally apprehensive). TC Lee was our instructor & he did an amazing job from start to finish. He was funny, engaging, & super safety conscious while giving us a ton of thrills! Im looking forward to next year!!!

We took a family of five and had a fantastic experience on the middle part of the river. Sydney was our guide and we could not have asked for a better person to take us down the River. She was kind, respectful, and extremely knowledgeable. I trusted her to keep our family safe, but also to give us a great time together.

This is our 4th time with High Country. The place is top-notch. The guides are always excellent. White-water fun at its fullest. We did the middle Ocoee class IV. Our two daughters ages 12 and 14 went down this river for the first time, Mr. Pink made sure to keep us safe and kept the fun rolling. We will be back agian! Our daughters haven't stopped talking about how much fun they had. They are ready for some Class Five with Pink!

This is a 'cute' building. It feels very inviting to enter, and all of the staff are very pleasant. It's clean and has a lot of nice things to buy. The cave itself is nice and the underground lake is absolutely gorgeous and the highlight of the place. That being said, our guide walked very fast and that did put somewhat of a damper on our enjoyment of the tour. Also, we were not expecting how much walking uphill there was so if that is a problem for you, you may want to reconsider visiting this cave.

This. Was. Incredible. A huge shout out to Lillian for guiding us and teaching us all about this amazing chunk of history!! The cave was walkable and areas to sit if you need to. The hardest part was walking back up the steeper incline from the boat ride - but it was so worth it!! So very interesting to learn about the history and the think that people discovered that and explored it before it was made walkable and safer, with nothing but an oil lamp!!

This is literally a hidden treasure. It was about a 2 hour drive for us, but really glad we went. It was very crowded so glad we had purchased our tickets online. Our guide was very knowledgeable, but a fast talker. It is definitely a hike and you are warned when purchasing tickets and the hike to the lake was a lot. I have knee problems and definitely felt it after, but so glad I made it. The boat ride in the lake was really cool. Definitely worth the ride to Saltwater, Tennessee.

Super cool place to visit. Everyone should experience this once in their lifetime. The guide told us some very interesting stories about the caves history. Be prepared for an uphill walk back out of the cave. This place is well kept and very historical. You should check out this place and check it off you bucket list!

While planning my trip using ChatGPT, this gem was suggested as one of our stopping points. I didn’t see a lot of roadside signs on the interstate or even in town (which is a destination must), so I’m so glad it was recommended. The whole experience was amazing. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and provided great insight to the history of the cave and lake. The check-in host took the time to ensure that each guest was physically capable for the walking tour as it was steep, slippery, uneven and at times, strenuous. We are two ladies between 60-90 years old so we took our time and easily managed the terrain. We thoroughly enjoyed it! We went in the off season and it was still really busy, so recommendations are highly suggested.

It’s wonderful very interesting. Excellent guide & adventure. If you’ve never seen this underground lake. Everyone should see it at least once it proves that our God is an awesome God and all of his creations!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My husband and I had an absolute blast visiting The Lost Sea! The tour was both fascinating and fun — from exploring the incredible underground caverns to seeing the stunning crystal-clear lake. Our guide made the experience even better with great storytelling and knowledge of the history and geology. It’s such a unique adventure that feels both relaxing and exciting at the same time. We left with memories we’ll never forget and can’t wait to recommend The Lost Sea to friends and family. Definitely worth the trip!

RaftOne went Above and Beyond with our experience! They took us Jumping off Rocks on to a Slide, we jumped into The Cats Pajamas Rapid which is 7 different currents converging into one that shoots you down the river - absolutely exhilarating! They also took us on a quick hike to a waterfall midway thru the trip which was beautiful! JB our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable he made this one of the best experiences hands down! Thanks to JB and the whole RaftOne Family! You Guys are the best! -Sacha

We had an awesome time rafting with RaftOne! Our guide Kaleb did an incredible job making our kids’ first rafting trip safe, fun, and exciting. He kept the whole family entertained and educated us about the river while giving us confidence on the water. We did the upper and middle sections and they did not disappoint. The lunch provided was great, and the facilities were clean and well-kept. Highly recommend RaftOne—and especially Kaleb—for an unforgettable adventure!

This was our second time coming here. We did the full rafting (upper and middle) package. Our guide Kitten was amazing! He was very knowledgeable about the area. We had a history lesson and rafting lesson in the form of a stand up comedy. There are a lot of places around that will take you rafting, but I promise you if you want to have a blast, chose Raft1!!! These folks are super passionate about what they do, and they all are hilarious. That’s what sets them above the rest.

Our family had a phenomenal time with Kaity and Sierra as our guides. They were great and made it extra fun for our son and daughter who truly loved it! The course was very fun and ended in a family race. Would recommend this activity for some Great memories. We enjoyed the morning slot before it heated up.

Had an absolute blast! This was my first time rafting. Caleb was our guide and he is a really nice person and also very knowledgeable. We had so much fun! Thanks Caleb, we really enjoyed our time. You're awesome!

Our family had a fantastic experience rafting the middle Ocoee river with Raft1. The number of rafters in our time slot was small (4 rafts), making the experience more personal. Our guide, Toast, tailored the experience to our level of adventure (high adventure) which we appreciated greatly! The guides added some additional activities along the way to include a water slide and waterfall hike mid trip, again adding to the unique experience that sets Raft1 apart from the other companies. Its outpost location is just upriver from the put-in making the shuttle ride brief. The souvenir t-shirt selection and Canopy Cafe provided quality options; the pizza was very tasty and made to order post-trip. I highly recommend using Raft1 for your Ocoee Rafting adventure.

Had a great time! Our guides Sage and Taylor were pros and talked us through the process to make sure we had it. Someone in our group got overwhelmed half way through and didn’t want to continue, and they were easily able to go back to the lookout and watch us. The only difference between this and other zip line places is that here you have to use your hand to stop yourself on these lines. It’s also not crazy high off of the ground for less adventurous people. 8/10 would recommend

Absolutely loved Mercier Orchards! It’s a beautiful and wonderful family friendly Orchard. The store was stocked with so many things and it included their bakery! The baked goods and apple cider were amazing! I also loved the option to pick your own apples! Such a neat experience!

Mercier Orchards is a beautiful place. It is apple festival time of year in October so it was extremely busy and crowded, but it didn't stop me from getting their apple cider donuts, apple butter, and apple taffy. It was all worth it! Those donuts are delicious with some apple butter on top. It's a must stop to enjoy the scenery!

My husband and I visited Mericer Orchard for the first time and it is a must do in the area! We explored the shop which is very neat with lots to offer. We then got some goodies from the bakery including some of their hand pies, muffin, and apple fritter. All of these were delicious and if you visit you absolutely need to check out the bakery. We then went on a tractor tour and our tour guide was super kind and knowledgeable. You can get some really neat views from this tour. We ended our visit with some wine and cider tasting. If you enjoy hard cider, this is another thing you shouldn't miss! They offer and sell many delicious ciders. We will be back when in the area again.

Very crowded orchard! The parking situation was kind of a mess. We paid $30 for 2 of us to go apple picking which I didn’t think was bad. We went to an orchard last year in Elijay and it was way more expensive so we didn’t end up going apple picking. I will say the orchard was pretty heavily picked through but we still left with so many apples! The experience was fun and we enjoyed some apples as we walked through the trees. We stopped in the store and got a donut and a fried pie before hand. Total chaos in the store. I feel like they need a better set up for getting people through the store. The line for the bakery was so long and was kind of frustrating when we couldn’t pay there. My husband enjoyed his fried pie and my donut was pretty good but I felt lacked the apple cider flavor. The apple cider itself was really good! My husband got a sparkling cider too which was really good! Overall I would come back to this orchard.

Beautiful orchards & fun experience picking apples. The store is huge with lots of variety, but we went during (apparently) peak season and it was PACKED. Would have loved to have been able to walk around the store and shop but the crowd was intense. Lines moved decently fast but wrapped into multiple rooms. Definitely a beautiful spot and would love to visit again in the spring!

🍎 A must-stop gem in Blue Ridge! Mercier Orchards is the perfect blend of charm, flavor, and fun. From the dining area, there’s a large viewing window where you can peek into the warehouse and watch the behind-the-scenes action—such a cool touch that adds to the experience. The small candy shop is nostalgic and sweet, while the bakery serves up piping hot apple pie with a scoop of ice cream that’s absolutely worth the trip alone. The main store is impressively stocked with local ciders, jams, wines, toys, and—of course—plenty of fresh-picked apples by the bag. Whether you’re shopping, snacking, or just soaking in the mountain vibes, Mercier Orchard delivers a wholesome, family-friendly outing.

Had a wonderful time here. Fried pies were yummy and their ciders were delicious. I didn’t even like ciders. Wish we would’ve been able to bring more home on our flight. Employees were nice and helpful and we were able to do the apple picking tour which was new to us.

This place is truly a refreshing escape into nature. The moment you arrive, the sound of rushing water and the crisp, fresh air instantly create a calming atmosphere. The waterfall is absolutely beautiful as it cascades down the rocks, surrounded by lush greenery and seasonal colors that make the entire view feel alive. Standing near it, you can’t help but pause and soak in the serenity it brings.The trail leading up to the falls is well maintained, marked clearly, and lined with tall trees that offer both shade and stunning views. The gentle breeze, mixed with the earthy scent of the forest, makes the hike enjoyable and relaxing. Even in the fall, the play of golden and red leaves adds a magical touch, making every step of the journey worthwhile. What I love most is how peaceful and energizing this place feels. It’s the perfect spot to disconnect from the busyness of everyday life and simply be present in nature. Whether you’re hiking, taking photos, or just sitting quietly to listen to the water, every visit leaves you refreshed and renewed. This is one of those places you’ll want to return to again and again. 🌿💧🍂🍁😇

Amicalola Falls is absolutely breathtaking! The views are stunning from every angle — whether you’re looking up from the base of the falls or hiking to the top. The sound of the rushing water and the mountain air make it such a peaceful escape. We enjoyed exploring the trails, and the steps to the top are definitely a workout but completely worth it for the view! The park is clean, well-maintained, and perfect for all ages. There are plenty of picnic areas, beautiful overlooks, and friendly staff throughout the park. If you’re planning a visit, take your time to enjoy the scenery — it’s truly one of Georgia’s most beautiful spots. Great for a day trip, a weekend getaway, or just a little time in nature to refresh your soul.

Beautiful park to visit when the leaves are changing in mid October to November. It was nice to have the option to drive to different parts of the park or hike. This makes it convenient for families that may want to split up amd experience the park in different ways. A walking stick and water bottle is helpful if your planning to do more hiking than driving. There are a lot of steps! Great for exercise.

Amicalola Falls is an absolute must see! The waterfall is stunning, and the trails offer amazing views and fresh mountain air. The visitor center and gift shop were great especially the mini wildlife display! A huge thanks to Carla, who was so knowledgeable and friendly while helping us plan our route to the falls. The stairs up and down were a fun adventure with breathtaking views. This park is truly a peaceful, beautiful Georgia jewel. Can’t wait to return!

A really nice state park centered around the tallest waterfall in Georgia. The waterfall itself and the staircase section are the stars of this park. The easiest way to view the falls would be to park at the West Ridge Parking Lot and walk over about 0.25 miles. The staircase section, starting from the reflection pool and going to the top of the falls is a great workout and has great views. I was slightly disappointed with the other trails I used to make a loop while parking at the visitor center. The Creek Trail and East Ridge Trail were just okay to me. I would try the AT approach trail starting from behind the visitor center if I visited again.

Absolutely wonderful experience! Very nice around early to mid-Fall, but I'd watch out for wildlife, such as snakes and bears! Also, if you're planning on hiking, I'd recommend parking, then taking "the arch" up, then the stairs down and back into the parking lot.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience at this park today. It was $5 to get in and it had a ranger station which was pretty impressive. They had information centers plus they had the souvenir section which was very well stocked. The rangers were very knowledgeable and friendly. There was a ATM on site and purified water stations by the toilets. They also had three Park stamps instead of one hours of collect patches in the wife collects postcards and magnets as well. Drive across the street from the ranger station up that road and come to your first parking space on the right. Then go down the walkway, not the stairs and about .3 mi you'll come across the middle of the falls. Then you get back in your car and go up to the top. Behind the ranger station is access to the Appalachian trail which is kind of neat. I would have liked to have hiked that but I'm too old for that now. The restrooms were very clean and we had a wonderful time.

Beautiful aquarium with a great variety of creatures to visit! The lighting was really nice! We had a great time. Especially enjoyed the interactive activities. I appreciated the water fountain in the aquarium. The bathrooms were really clean as well. Souvenir store needs some improvement to get more revenue. Need to reserve sea lion and dolphin shows well in advance! We didn’t know and didn’t get to see them.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Amazing Experience! The Georgia Aquarium is incredible! The exhibits are beautifully done, and the marine life is just stunning. The Ocean Voyager tunnel with the whale sharks and manta rays is a must-see — truly breathtaking. The dolphin and sea lion shows were super fun and well put together. Everything was clean, well-organized, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. It’s a great spot for families, couples, or anyone who loves the ocean. Highly recommend spending a few hours here — you won’t be disappointed! 🌊🐠

We had a great day at the Georgia Aquarium. Staff were friendly and the place was spotless. The dolphin show was a blast, and I wish we had time for the sea lion show as well. My favorite part was standing in front of the huge Ocean Voyager window and watching the whale sharks and manta rays glide by. The tunnel and that massive viewing window make it feel like you are inside the tank. The shark exhibit was another highlight. Parking is paid in the deck next door, which makes sense downtown, just plan for it. Food is on the pricey side, so consider eating before or after. My only gripe is the layout, which felt a little awkward, but once you settle in it is easy to lose track of time in front of the big tank. Tip if you go: reserve seats for the dolphin show and arrive a little early so you are not rushing. I would absolutely go back. It is surprisingly relaxing to stand at that main window and let everything else fade out.

Georgia Aquarium is the best aquarium in the country. There are so many areas to explore, learn, and to be amazed at oceanic life. The shows are spectacular, engaging, and phenomenal. The tanks are massive and inspiring. There are so many undersea creatures to see in every tank. It’s truly amazing to watch the fish, sharks, anemones, and all the rest co-existing. There are beluga whales, giant turtles, otters, penguins, jellyfish, and so many more species. The performances are all top-notch. You get to be entertained while you learn about oceanography, marine biology, and other scientific topics. We splurged on the backstage tour option and it was magical. We met a few performers, got to hold some of the props, and learned even more about the amazing animals in the aquarium. We suggest at least two days to truly explore and appreciate the grandeur of Georgia Aquarium. It’s a huge, sprawling campus dedicated to education and awe-inspiration, as well as raising awareness about our oceanic friends. Everyone should visit at least once.

Definitely a great experience! Don’t miss the Dolphin and Sea Lion presentations - especially the Dolphin show, which was absolutely captivating. The presentation is entertaining, engaging, and beautifully showcases the Dolphins in an intuitive way. Beyond that, you’ll get to see a wide variety of marine life from around the world. The aquarium is well-maintained and easy to navigate, making the visit enjoyable for all ages.

Well kept and safe. We visited during a weekday afternoon and found affordable parking just a few blocks away. I do not recommend visiting this area with young children after dark unless you are well escorted. Inside the aquarium you'll find first class accommodations for guests. As you would expect, this is a wonderland for young children to learn more about marine life and explore another part of our planet that might not otherwise be available to them any other way. The aquarium can be fully explored in just one day and in only a few hours if you aren't attending any of the special programs that are offered in addition to the general admission. The venue provides clean restrooms and a cafe area to take a nutrition break or just to sip a beverage and catch your breath. The kids were having a blast and there are hands-on areas as well as many walk through opportunities that allow little ones to crawl through caves for a fun and personal experience made specially for the little tykes. The gift shop is quite expensive, but if you're well funded and looking for a pleasing way to support the aquarium, I'm pretty sure that you'll find quality gifts to share with the members of your family during your visit. Across from the Aquarium is the World of Coca-Cola nostalgia museum, giving those who still have leftover stores of energy and want to move on to the next venue a chance for additional exploration time.

Definitely big enough to make a day out of it. Kids love getting to see so many fish from so many angles. There is places to buy food too making it nice not having to go somewhere to eat then come back. Kids love getting to touch the stingray. Highly recommend going .

The World of Coca-Cola was a fun experience overall, though definitely more about the brand than the history behind it. There’s a little bit of nostalgia and storytelling sprinkled in, but most of it feels like one big advertisement — which, to be fair, is kind of what you expect when visiting the home of Coke. My favorite part was easily the picture scanners that morph your face into vintage Coca-Cola ads — such a clever and entertaining touch that makes for great keepsakes. The soda tasting room, on the other hand, was a bit too crowded to really enjoy. It’s fun in theory, but hard to savor the experience when you’re shoulder-to-shoulder with people. Still, it’s worth a visit if you’re in Atlanta and want a lighthearted, bubbly stop full of photo ops and brand nostalgia. Also please note you can find a cheaper ticket if you purchase from a third party.

A fun visit overall! The exhibits were engaging, and the atmosphere was lively and well-curated. The Coke tasting room was definitely the highlight—it felt like the most interactive and entertaining part of the experience. That said, most of the foreign soda options weren’t very good to our taste, but it was still fun to try them all. Great for families or anyone curious about the brand’s global reach. Worth checking out at least once!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit! There were many exhibits and things to see. We especially liked being able to taste all the different flavors from around the world. On the downside, there were several from here in the states. I mean, I guess when you're visiting from another country here, it'd be nice, but just something we noticed. My daughter's favorite was from Germany. My favorite was from Thailand. If you know when you plan to go, save yourself a few bucks and purchase tickets on the site.

They make you sit through two terrible movies, the first time just to enter into the place, really didn't add anything to the experience. You just had to stand around for 6 minutes to wait to go in. Then you sat there for 6 minutes and hoped it ended. The movie looks like it was filmed on a go camera tied to a Jack Russell, it was so jumpy and you were so close up it was making me ill ( motion sickness) same with the vault video, pictures racing around your head, then tadah!!! You get to see the vault with the only written copy of the recipe (they don't actually use any more) Not much on the history just wall space. I did like saying some of the old advertisements they had on the walls before you went in to see the first movie. You basically pay $20 per person to taste and drink all the soda you can handle. Gives shaps a lot of expensive t-shirts and some other Coca-Cola stuff, the shirts on sale and you can get souvenir t-shirts anywhere from $15 to $40 on sale. The lab is where the soul of your shoes get sticky and you get to taste their new experiment. Sprite from Germany was the best. the different fantasy, and vitamin waters were good. Sour plum from Korea was the worst, it actually tastes like liquid smoke YUCK 🤢 Warning Wednesday seem to be couple school field trips. We saw probably a couple hundred kids waiting to go in. You don't want to be in there on those days so make sure you haven't made it in at that time with all the kids.

More of a CocaCola tasting experience than a full attraction. You start with a display of vintage Coke ads and characters, followed by a short intro video before entering the main tasting area. The highlight is sampling flavors from around the world as much as you like. Loved the dramatic door opening into Coke World and my favorites - Fanta Melon Frosty and Royal Watermelon. Labs aren’t necessary; the main draw is the tasting and the merchandise store. Not really worth visiting if you’re not particularly interested in tasting cola flavors.

Had a few hours off and went to the Coca-Cola museum. Had only around 1.5 hours, but would advise to spend at least 2 hours to see and experience everything. Quit interesting history, fun to mix your own drinks and challenge how good sense of smell you got!

If you're a Coke fan, it's great. Lots to see and taste. I'm just a standard drinker who was there for an event. It was interesting to try variants from other countries for sure, and I'd make it a stop if you have time but there are more interesting places to see in the area. For me personally I'd give it a 3, but I'm rating it for the target audience. :)

I would say that it was a pleasant experience for a date night once inside the park, though I found the price to be somewhat high. Certain areas were indeed very beautiful and tranquil, and the lighting was quite lovely. However, there were some aspects that were unfortunately quite disappointing and warrant mentioning. I had anticipated more based on the website's photographs, but as expected nothing is in bloom during the winter months, which I believe should be reflected in the pricing, especially since many attractions were closed. Regarding arrival, we were advised to arrive 15 minutes early, which we did. However, we were then informed that we needed to wait until our precise arrival time. This led to a rush of people trying to enter, which took an additional 10-15 minutes. The odor emanating from the restrooms was quite strong and the conditions within were unacceptable. The main entrance also had a noticeable smell of urine and other improperly disposed or uncleaned items from the restrooms. Furthermore, there is an additional charge for parking on top of the ticket price, and the parking garage was quite crowded. Despite these less favorable aspects of my visit, I would still be interested in returning during a time when everything is in bloom, hoping that improvements have been made to the issues I encountered. As i believe in second chances. Overall, it was an acceptable experience, but I had simply expected a bit more.

The Atlanta Botanical Garden is a true gem and a fantastic escape right in the heart of Midtown. This 30-acre urban oasis beautifully blends stunning horticulture with world-class art, offering a dynamic experience for everyone. ​Highlights You Can't Miss ​The Earth Goddess: The centerpiece, a massive, living topiary sculpture, is an absolute showstopper. ​Kendeda Canopy Walk: Stroll 40 feet above the Storza Woods on this unique treetop suspension bridge for incredible views. ​Fuqua Orchid Center: Marvel at one of the country's most extensive collections of orchids, including rare high-elevation varieties. ​Art and Exhibits: The gardens are peppered with impressive art, including beautiful glass sculptures by Dale Chihuly and fascinating seasonal exhibits. ​A Garden for All Seasons ​The Garden is wonderful year-round, with diverse exhibition areas like the Japanese Garden, Rose Garden, and the tropical Fuqua Conservatory. It also hosts popular seasonal events, such as the colorful "Atlanta Blooms" in the spring and the enchanting "Garden Lights, Holiday Nights" in the winter. ​Whether you're a serious plant enthusiast, looking for a tranquil date spot, or seeking a fun family outing—especially with the award-winning Children's Garden—the Atlanta Botanical Garden is a well-maintained, lush, and inspiring destination that's definitely worth a visit.

🌸 Atlanta Botanical Garden: A Whimsical Wonderland in Bloom This was truly something I enjoyed! The Atlanta Botanical Garden is a lush, enchanting escape nestled in the heart of the city. From the moment you enter, you’re greeted with a refreshing cocktail and a sense of magic in the air. The “Alice in Wonderland” theme added a playful, storybook charm—giant mushrooms, whimsical sculptures, and floral displays that felt straight out of a dream. Even with the heat, the beauty of the gardens and the creativity in every corner made it worth wandering. It’s more than a park—it’s a living gallery of nature and imagination. A perfect spot to slow down, sip something sweet, and let your senses bloom.

This was our first time visiting Atlanta, and the botanical garden was on our bucket list. My wife and I really enjoyed walking through all the different themed areas, the whole place was super clean and well taken care of. They gave us a map at the entrance that made it easy to find our way around, which helped a lot since the park is pretty big. The highlight for us was the indoor garden area. It was full of unique plants, facts, and displays—definitely our favorite part and something we’ll remember. We saw plants we’ve never seen before and learned a lot too. Overall, it was a great experience, and we’d for sure come back again in the future. Note: save $4 by buying ticket online but processing is $2.50 per ticket.

I loved my visit to the Atlanta Botanical Garden! It’s a large and beautiful place to walk around and explore. Depending on the season you visit, you’ll get a different experience. I went during Halloween, and everything was perfectly themed for fall — such a lovely atmosphere! One of my favorite parts was the Fuqua Orchid Center, absolutely stunning! Still, every area of the garden is worth admiring — the flowers, trees, and plants from so many different species make it a magical place. If you’re lucky, you might even spot some frogs in one of the sections! It’s a wonderful and family-friendly spot to enjoy nature and relax. I truly recommend it! 🌸🌳🍁 Also I’m visiting from Florida.

Went in Halloween season for the 🎃 carving contest; Variety of beer, food is ok for the price you pay, 2 bands playing live music really good. Wanted to see the famous “lady covered in green” but I guess it wasn’t the season. Went in a week day so the parking was Great and zero lines.

Just spent the day wandering through the Atlanta Botanical Garden, was there for a wedding, and honestly? I’m convinced I accidentally stepped into a fairytale and no one bothered to tell me. 😌💚 From the moment you walk in, it feels like Mother Nature hired her own glam squad. The lush greenery, towering sculptures, and colorful blooms are basically Instagram filters in real life. And don’t get me started on the Canopy Walk — I felt like a mildly adventurous forest elf, 10/10 would frolic again. 🧝‍♀️🌳 The Orchid Center? Pure magic. Like someone took every shade of "wow" and convinced it to grow petals. And yes, I absolutely pretended I was in a tiny jungle documentary while strolling through. Narration voice included. 📸🐒 If you need a peaceful escape, a cute date spot, or the perfect backdrop for pretending you’re living your soft-life dreams, this place is it. 🌸✨ Rating: 5 out of 5 enchanted leaves. 🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃 Would recommend: Anyone who likes plants, pretty things, or pretending they’re royalty in a botanical kingdom. 👑🌼 Go. Wander. Take too many pictures. Your camera roll will thank you. 📷💚

Chose tue resort for an anniversary turnaround getaway for me and my husband. It is overrated and over priced. Maybe years ago it was amazing. Event-wise could very well be amazing. Rooms ... No! Walls are thin, heard our neighbor's conversation for a good 4-5 hours til she fell asleep I guess. No microwave. One of the elevators was out of order. Cause delay for everybody. Ice machine on 2nd flor was out of order so we had to go up to the 3rd, with only one operating elevator. Yes I get it- it is a "destiny" resort. I use that loosely. The buffet was tasty but there was not enough options for the price. Hostess needs customer service training. We didn't even know it was buffet til another customer said they just go up and served themselves so we did as well. You all will not believe that thw lights were going out like the fuses were blowing. Not weather but you have too much going on and your breaker can't handle it. But nobody offered any explanation or reasoning. It is funny that we are asked for a deposit for incidentals bit we were not offered any kind of discount or complimentary anything for all that they had going on. We can't charge you a deposit. Please think real hard if you are not golfing, planning to go to their events or you are invited to a wedding just going here for your own celebration and atmosphere... it is not worth it... on another note- it seems like the town in general try to nickel and dime you, hoping you won't look at your receipts. Look at your receipts. Callaway Garden Hotel room 1 1/2 out of 10 for the money. And wifi is slower than a baby turtle. Grounds are beautiful ha a lot of greenery. Japanese Maples and different shrubs 🙃

All things wonderful here for family fun. We especially. I enjoyed the beach party at the lake and the food trucks had such a rousing selection of culinary delights. Having the trolley to transport us around the gardens and to the butterfly center was a plus. Callaway Gardens is being maintained in pristine condition. The amenities are superlative, and the grounds are well kept. The price was a value for all of the fun we had.

Had free tickets to gardens so went the end of September. Not much was happening but we rented bikes for $20 each and took time riding the 10 miles of bike path. It was nice and quiet. We stopped by the chapel which was beautiful and the butterfly aviary which was really neat, so many butterflies. We took a break by the beach and then upon returning the bikes spent some time in the discovery center which had some interesting nature information. Didn’t stay at the lodge

So I only went for the pumpkin patch, however it was so much fun. It wasn’t as big as I expected however the light path at night was fun, our little ones enjoyed it. The food was great and they had a bar for the parents which is a plus ! We will make it back for Christmas!

I took my husband here for a massage and to unwind while on his 34 hour work break. The grounds and venue were beautiful. It was easy to find and access from I65. It was very relaxing. With that said, take your wallet. Everything costs; everything. My husband loved his massage. He said he felt renewed. I had the spa pedicure. It was mediocre and could definitely use some improvement. EVERY one was nice. The workers definitely know what customer service is and they go above and beyond to provide a good experience. The rooms were beautiful, clean and up to date. The cellular service out there is as expected; nonexistent. That’s probably a good thing to unplug and really get you in the relax mode. The caveat? Ordering food in the evening. We wanted to return to the tap room after having enjoyed lunch there but there was a 2 hour wait for food orders. We decided to just get room service. Well, it was absolutely horrible. We ordered room service for dinner around 6pm. An hour later, they called us to say they were out of an item we ordered so my husband kept his room service order and I ordered a pizza from the market. Another hour later the room service food arrives. The pizza from the market was delicious, hot and much better than the burger and fries from room service. Overall: I think it’s a lovely and convenient place for a one or two nighter but we’ve definitely had a better experience for less money.

We get the yearly membership every year and go to quite a few of the events throughout the year. Our kids and us really enjoy it. They have a little bit of something for everyone. It does get busy for special events, but they do a good job of getting people in quickly at the gates considering the amount of people going through. Once you get in the cost of everything is pretty high - like $8 for a basic beer, but that seems almost normal now at places like this. The only real negative is their website. As a member it seems like the website has glitches especially when trying to buy the promised discounted tickets you get with certain membership levels. You can always call or deal with it in person, but in 2025 going quick and digital is what we've come to expect instead of having to sit on hold and wait.

This is our weekend getaway from city. We always have a relaxing time. The resort hasupgraded their amenities. The staff is welcoming and comforting. Great for couples, family, or friends trip.

If you’re looking for a quick escape from the city without driving too far, Stone Mountain Park is a must-do. The walk-up trail is about 2 miles round trip and gives you a surprisingly good workout; it starts easy, then turns into a steep granite climb that will get your heart racing. It’s short enough for beginners but rewarding enough for regular hikers. The views from the summit are spectacular, on a clear day you can see downtown Atlanta, Kennesaw, and even the Appalachian foothills. The exposed granite top has a strange, lunar feel that makes the climb feel otherworldly. If you don’t want to hike both ways, the Summit Skyride cable car is a fun option. It’s a glass-enclosed gondola that glides over the mountain and offers panoramic views. Many hikers take the cable car down after trekking up - it saves your knees and lets you soak in the scenery without effort. Just note that the Skyride ticket is separate from the $20 park entry fee, and lines can get long on weekends. The only downsides: the trail can get crowded, especially late mornings, and the granite gets slippery when wet. Bring plenty of water, good shoes with grip, and go early to catch sunrise or late evening for cooler weather. Overall, Stone Mountain is one of Atlanta’s best quick treks, a mix of natural beauty, light adventure, and a cable car view that feels straight out of a travel ad. Whether you hike, ride, or do both, it’s absolutely worth it. ⭐ Rating: 4.6 / 5 📍 Best Time: Early morning or sunset 🎫 Tips: Bring water, sunblock, and take the Skyride down for the best combo of effort and ease.

Day trip to Stone Mountain Park. Good experience exploring the sights of Atlanta, one of it being this amazing and natural attraction. Walked around the park, took the cable car up to the “summit” and soaked in the views at the top of the stone. The views at the top were fantastic and the whole experience was fruitful. The attraction can be a bit far from downtown Atlanta, you can expect a USD 30-35 Lyft ride one way from downtown if you plan to visit this attraction. A 5* trip, and will recommend to experience once if your travels passes by Atlanta.

Hi everyone! My family and I visited this very interesting park. It was nice to climb up that mountain. If you have the chance, be sure to go up and look from above! You can see everything around you, the forest is very beautiful, and the panorama looks beautiful. I think climbing the mountain is good for your health. If the walking is difficult, there's an escalator! There's a large parking lot and plenty of entertainment. The kids really enjoyed it, and so did the adults. If possible, we'll come back here again and climb it again. There are also toilets (clean). There are trash bins along the way. There are places to eat and stay. Everything is great!

Beautiful today because ....FALL! The leaves are beautiful. Everything is set up for the light show tonight and the winter wonderland. Seems a little pricey for the tickets but everything seems to be about 50 bucks a piece at places. Get a map for sure. There is so much to see other than the mountain. Grist mill, lakes, trails, waterside.

We had beautiful weather. All we need was camp and hike. We did not go on the mountain. There are a number of hiking trails and we loved the campground. It was nice to see the changing of the trees as well

I haven’t taken the scenic skyride, but I usually go hiking instead. For those who enjoy hiking, this is a very easy trail, and for beginner hikers, it offers just the right amount of challenge. Once you reach the top, you’ll get a full 360-degree view of Atlanta — it’s beautiful! Parking is $20 for a one-time visit, and $40 for a season pass. Hope this helps!

The Best Fall Festival Ever! Stone Mountain Park truly outdid themselves with the Pumpkin Festival! We went as a family and were completely blown away by the "Play by Day, Glow by Night" experience. Everything was fantastic: the glowing jack-o'-lanterns, the parade, and the sheer amount of family fun. It's magical, well-organized, and worth every penny. Highly, highly recommend this for anyone looking for the perfect fall outing! Go make those memories!

This location makes it a great day trip! There are so many educational timelines in the museum. It is clean and well organized. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Great place to take your family and explore history. The museum is free for admission, but they encourage donations to keep the museum running. We will definitely be back again (without kids)!

The layout and design of this museum is exquisite. There is so much thought in all the details and they do a wonderful job of honoring our nation’s soldiers. There is no cost for admission and is great for all ages. Don’t forget get to bring some money for the concession stand and the gift shop.

My oldest son, Brendon, graduated Advanced Infantry Training this past Thursday (10/16/25) and the graduation ceremony was held here. It was breathtaking - so beautiful and so informative! I consider myself somewhat knowledgeable in regard to History, but I learned SO much here!

The National Infantry Museum far exceeded all of our expectations and it’s easy to see why it has consistently earned the title of America’s #1 Best Free Museum. From the moment we stepped inside, we were met with an incredibly well-designed, thoughtful, and immersive experience that pays deep respect to the history, sacrifices, and heroism of the American infantry. What truly sets this museum apart is the level of detail and dedication poured into every exhibit. It covers a vast span of U.S. military history—from the American Revolution all the way through present-day conflicts—with each war and military campaign given its own distinct space and identity. The displays are not only historically accurate and educational, but they’re also emotionally powerful. You don’t just walk through history—you feel it. We were especially impressed by the interactive and VR experiences, which added a whole new level of engagement and excitement for everyone in our group. The museum does a phenomenal job of blending traditional exhibits with modern technology to keep visitors of all ages involved and interested. Our group ranged from ages 17 to 51, and every single one of us walked away not only entertained but deeply moved and better informed. The care and respect shown toward the stories of real soldiers, both past and present, is evident throughout the museum. From the Hall of Valor to the Last 100 Yards ramp—every section was meaningful, inspiring, and beautifully executed. It’s honestly hard to believe that admission is free, given the quality of the experience. If you’re anywhere near Columbus, Georgia, this is a must-visit destination. Whether you’re a history buff, military family, or simply someone who wants to better understand and appreciate the courage and sacrifice of our nation’s infantry, this museum is truly one of a kind. We left with full hearts, great memories, and a deep sense of appreciation. Five stars without a doubt.

Amazing museum, they spit all the time periods in us military history into small little rooms with great statues, very cool artifacts and displays and other stuff. The staff that greeted me was also very cool and energetic.

Very fun and informational to walk around. Lots of cool statues and attractions to see in the Museum.

Why is the sky blue? Anyone who's been thru Sand Hill should be required to visit. It will take a full day to appreciate the museum and grounds. So much history.. great place to go for Family Day. Stay off the grass!

The day we went was cold and they opened exhibition at 1 pm. While we were waiting we walked around and it was pretty cool. After we went to see butterflies. I have never seen some such a big butterflies and different colours

This is one of my favorite museums in the entire state. The butterfly collection is gorgeous and their breeding program is amazing. We especially love the button quail, that clean up the floor in the aviary. It's a must do every time we're in gainesville.

Butterfly Rainforest had a nice large enclosed patio area full of beautiful butterflies and Luscious Landscaping. It was also a little bigger then I thought it would be. I didn't realize it had a full Museum inside until we arrived and I saw the sign for the museum. The museum was great it had a lot of different displays and was very informative. This is a great place for young & older children alike. Heck, I'm middle-aged and love it!!..

We had an amazing experience here at the butterfly garden! Seriously can't say enough good. We got a couple dollar discount on admission because of being FL residents.The indoor portion was very informative and educational. Also very well laid out and organized. The outdoor area, actual rainforest garden, was beautiful! Water fountains, birds, butterflies and beautiful plants. We enjoyed walking and taking it all in. Can easily spend a couple hours here. We enjoyed being able to observe all the nature up close in a safe weather proof environment. The Florida museum is right next door. We did not visit that today, but it was quite large and looked to be a full day. Parking was $4 and in a lot right next to museum. Restrooms available and a nice fair prices gift shop and penny machine at entrance.

100% worth the drive and the admission. Great for recharging and relaxation. Between the sounds of the waterfalls and the birds and the multitudes of butterfly species it was a sensory overload. Combine this attraction with the natural history museum and the art museum next door (both free admission) and you've got your morning or afternoon fully covered.

Absolutely wonderful place to visit! The garden with the butterflies also has turtles, fish, and several birds. The facility is clean and well-maintained. There were students from the university throughout the museum speaking with guests, which was a nice touch.

I took my wife here and it was awesome. There are so many different types of butterflies and finches as well. If you're a person that likes butterflies here's the place to go. They would land on you and fly all around you. Plus Free parking on the weekends.

We came here for a quick after walk-through. The price was a bit steep for what they offer, but we were happy to contribute to the sanctuary. Good variety of wildlife. Excellent flamingos. The exit was closed, so you have to turn around and walk back the way you came, so that was a bother.

It was a great day for a walk through the springs. The hurricane from last year did some damage, but they've done a great job restoring and making the park presentable and accessible. Buildings were closed, with few staff and volunteers, but those who were there were kind and helpful. We arrived mid-afternoon on a Friday. A crazy amount of vultures are hanging out with all the other birds. Plenty of animals to encounter for the size and space. I look forward to visiting again.

We visited the Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park on a weekday, November 2025. They were starting to decorate for the Christmas holidays. Unfortunately, there is still significant damage from the last hurricane, last year. So not only were some of the walkways and bridges either closed or less than optimal. All the things like restaurants and gift shop were still closed. Although they did have a snack truck that also sold the entrance tickets. We took the tram both ways to and from the park. It runs from the visitor center/parking, to the park. As does the boat ride. I wanted to take the boat ride one way. But the times were more limited, and not when we were making the trip in and out of the park. But I’ll live. But I guess we saved the extra money for the boat trip. The tram is free. The park itself is a nice place to see wildlife that mostly is natural to Florida. It is also a safe new home to the wildlife who can no longer survive in the wild for whatever reason. I will say the we waited too long and put off visiting. Because of this, we missed out seeing the Hippopotamus that sadly passed away this spring after many years greeting visitors. They had a nice manatee program at 11am and 1pm to learn about Manatee’s. Followed by their feeding time following the show. We screwed up and forgot to visited the under water viewing section. Yes it was our fault, but also because of the bridge closure that had us walking all the way around to what we missed (getting to the show). All in all it was a nice park that I’m sure we will probably visit again, maybe multiple times in the future.

Had a wonderful day here at Homosassa. You can tell that the animals are well taken care of and the employees and volunteers are informative and kind. It's a great way to get to know the natural wildlife we have here in Florida. Also, the path that the tram uses is a walkable hiking trail and it makes for a very peaceful stroll. Pictured with this review are the pelicans, the panther, the bear, and one of the many species of owls that are at Homosassa.

5/26/25 used my Florida State Park pass and did about 1.6 mile on the board walk since half of it is closed. Got to see tons of animals! Beautiful waters, nice area!

It is a great family friendly spot. They have native Florida animals. All of the animals are there for rehabilitation. They were injured. Some cannot be released due to the injuries. This allows them to live and gives us a chance to see them.

We went off roading with the maintenance guy and he recommended this place. What a pleasure! We saw a FL panther up close and watched manatee munch on lettuce. It was stupid hot that day but the shade was just enough to make it bearable. Thanks for all you guys do for these animals.

They are currently doing construction on the ranger experience, so the boat ride was full all day. The mermaid show was great though. I’m fascinated with how they sync with what we hear in the audience. The show is short enough the hold the attention of younger children. There are beautiful peacocks that roam the grounds, and bring a bathing suit because the water park looks fun too. I didn’t have my suit with me. Definitely a great attraction to check out.

Beautiful place to enjoy an incredible view! This stunning spring with crystal-clear waters offers the amazing chance to see manatees up close, all surrounded by nature. You can explore the area by kayak—rentals are available for solo paddlers or pairs. Keep in mind that swimming in the spring is not allowed, and no food is permitted—it’s all about preserving the beauty of the environment. If you’re looking to swim, there’s a beautiful natural pool nearby, also with crystal-clear water, surrounded by comfortable lounge chairs where you can relax and soak up the sun. You can also catch one of the fun shows offered in the area. There’s a nice restaurant on-site—we enjoyed some tasty burgers and delicious French fries. Highly recommended whether you’re visiting with family or just looking for a peaceful escape on your own or with someone special!

Weeki Wachee Springs is an amazing excursion and truly a one-of-a-kind experience. The water is crystal clear and teeming with manatees, and the best part is that you can interact with them naturally and at your own pace, without a guide mediating the encounter. The spring feels like a hidden paradise with plenty of ways to enjoy it—kayaks to rent for exploring, rope swings to launch into the refreshing water, and tree ladders to climb for extra adventure. The only downside is that the rental facility could use a little updating and modernization to match the beauty of the springs themselves. That said, the natural surroundings more than make up for it. All in all, Weeki Wachee is an excellent place to spend the day, whether you’re looking for peaceful time on the water or a bit of thrill and fun. Highly recommended for anyone who loves nature, wildlife, and a unique Florida adventure.

One of the best springs in FL. So pristine and clear. I’ve kayaked this many times and love the peacefulness of the environment and beauty of Florida.

I'll give them two stars for their efforts but don't come for the mermaid show. There's a natural spring pool with a lifeguard on duty, the slide is closed, and there's a half hour mermaid show consisting of a host and two mermaids playing out a skit for young ones with the host kicking one of the mermaids at one point. I really didn't get that. First come first served, no reservations. $13.00. No animal shows, nothing else except a souvenir shop and restrooms. It is a State run park and they must be real short on funds. I give them credit for trying to keep this once main attraction open today. Visited Sep 2025

Simply awesome. The Mermaids were amazing. This place represents outstanding value for money.

Don’t waste your time! Arrived around 12:00 and was told the cruise was already booked for the rest of the afternoon. A bus load had arrived and since it only holds 20 ppl. They had booked the next 4 hours. There were 2 upcoming shows to see but not until 2:15 and 3:00. Walked around and the places to eat were closed off to accommodate the bus tour. Only thing available were cold drinks and frozen ice cream bars. Basically you would have to wait for 2 hours and do nothing until the 2 shows. They should have told us that before we purchased tickets. It was $13 each so we decided to go ahead and leave and not wait for the shows. On btw, you could not get back in if you left the premises, even if you wanted to go back after getting something for lunch to see the shows! 😱😱😱

My mother-in-law was in town and we took a troop up there to rent a canoe and see wildlife. The water was beautiful, as a spring is always are, we saw alligator, turtles, tons of birds and fish! The water is absolutely clear. We did our own little thing in a canoe with three of us... And my service dog. We had an absolutely wonderful time and will definitely go back. I would suggest doing a tour because we caught a few tours that were giving some pretty cool information and we will definitely try that next time. After we were done we went hiking a little bit. We ran into a gentleman who was liking along the trail and he warned us that there are bear there. So next time I will definitely take some mace with us just in case. But the paths are well marked and it's beautiful. Lots of hiking to be had. It's pretty flat but very sandy.

My friend came to visit so we played tourists for the day and drove to the spring for the glass bottom boat ride and brunch. We had such a lovely visit in the park. The park is beautiful, we'll maintained, lovely local vegetation and wildlife from birds to reptiles. We strolled the pathway for a while taking it all in. The glass boat ride did not disappoint with one exception no Manatee but we saw the wonderous and famous springs, turtles, alligator and tons of birds. The Captain was entertaining and knowledgeable about the history of the springs. Then we enjoyed brunch at the café on sight. We lingered there for a while enjoying sangria, coffee drinks and of course delicious entrees of eggs Benny and chicken and waffles. After brunch we enjoyed checking out the shops and the water fountain. All in all a great park for a visit. I look forward to returning for some kayaking

Silver springs state park is absolutely one of the most beautiful places in the world! I immediately feel in love the second I stepped into the park. I highly recommended hopping in a kayak and doing the full river! It's about a 4 our adventure but you see soooo many amazing beautiful things. There was no shortage in wildlife there and you can tell they are all well loved, protected and cared for.

Wow.. what an amazing way to spend a few hours! We rented the glass bottom kayaks which were very easy to control after about a minute in them. They are made to not tip very easy and one person on the tour with us went from sitting to kneeling and moving to the front to get a picture with no issues at all. Alyssa, our guide, was very knowledgeable, kind and beautiful. Our time in the water was 2 hours and every minute we were finding something to see. Manatees, turtles, alligators, they have monkeys but were not around on this day, fish etc. A very peaceful experience and perfect for most anyone that can get into a kayak and paddle. You will not be disappointed with the site for sure. There is some places to eat etc on site as well.

This is a must-see experience if you do the 90 minute glass bottom boat tour. The Springs are incredibly beautiful. We got to see lots of manatees, alligators, turtles, and birds. Sadly, we did not see any monkeys. I highly recommend! Male a reservation in advance to guarantee you get on one of the boats.

Absolutely beautiful park with crystal clear water - you can see the bottom from anywhere on the river. It is a very slow flow River that makes for an easy canoe trip. It takes about 1.5 hours to do the loop. There are lots of fish, turtles, and fish to see. We were lucky enough to run upon a baby manatee that we were able to follow for 15 minutes.

Amazing place with breathtaking views and so many wild animals. But for me absolutely the best were really nice and helpful staff and park rules which allow people to come with dogs as long as they behave. Thanks to that you can spend great family time on the trails. You can also rent a kayak which is so much fun.
