This was the best part of our mini vacation. All employees are sweet and very nice. They truly appreciate our business and our visit. It truly shows. The gardens and views are also great. Recommend to all young, old and small. Lots of benches for resting if you need it.

My visit to the Arboretum was absolutely lovely! 🌻The stroll through the gorgeous gardens was so relaxing and refreshing. I love how they’ve managed to find the perfect balance between manicured and wild. There are plenty of spots to relax and well placed restrooms throughout the path. 🌳 To our surprise and delight my friends and I had a close encounter with a precious deer along one of the trails. 🥹Everyone should come and enjoy this little paradise. 🥰 I will definitely return!

If you love nature, Christmas lights, nice people, and plants, this is a must see!! If you are a solo traveler who loves to be outdoors but is concerned about lost or hurt on a trail, this is the best place ever! Well marked trails, emergency call boxes, beautiful gardens and bonsai, Christmas train display, lunch cafe, dulcimer music. educational placards on the trails…plenty of miles of trails with enough safety items that a solo traveler can comfortably enjoy the day and not worry about anything. As a solo traveler, I want to be hiking on the trails in the state parks but realize I could get injured and it would be awhile til I was found, this place had good trails and people and call boxes so I felt like I could hike all day there!! Can’t wait to go back!

A lovely park and public gardens! Definitely smaller than we expected but still enjoyable. All the water features were off for the season and a few of the outdoor interactive elements were broken which was disappointing. The signs around the park were very informative and interesting! Our favourite part was definitely the bonsai exhibit. So cool!

Came here in the evening for Winter Lights. There was a line of cars waiting up to an hour to turn into the arboretum for Winter Lights. Perhaps it was because it was opening night. It was a really fun atmosphere. The trolls were so charming. The lights were fantastic! Go into the Winter Lights gift shop to see the animatronic animals singing Christmas songs. Admission price is per carload. It’s a great deal if you have a big family, not so much for a couple. You can save $5 on admission if you are a member and get free parking. Parking is $20 for non-members. It was a fun experience!

We were anxious to visit and explore the extensive grounds of the North Carolina Arboretum on a slightly warm Fall day. We were lucky enough to catch the groundskeepers and staff in the midst of constructing the Winter Lights display for the upcoming holiday season. The Arboretum still unfortunately shows signs of extensive damage from Hurricane Helene (visit was October 2025), but the recovery efforts are clearly underway and appear to likely be finished within the next year. Despite the damage and closure of several areas of the acreage, there are still several miles of wonderfully pleasant hikes available to visitors, and the main buildings highlighting the central gardens and bonzai display remained undamaged. The Arboretum offers a beautiful respite to nature, and we look forward to our next visit.

Absolutely loved this place!!!! Visiting from Orlando and was submerged in gods beauty. The bonsai garden was unique and cool to catch. We fortunate enough to experience the gardens in the day and winter lights at night which are mesmerizing. Loved this place

Trying so hard to recover. Many places open and ready to serve and delight! Always great shopping, creative places, and great food. Spend plenty of time exploring!!

It was my first time. Only came for a day but will be coming back for longer next time 💖 Such great people, artist, energy was 10/10. I’m from NY so it was refreshing to experience art in a new way. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Also the food at 12 Bones Smokehouse was very flavorful!

I don't know what to say, Helene has hurt the Arts badly. But what is still there is definitely worth seeing. Oh hey there is this new art that you look at, then hold your camera up and it comes alive! It's wicked!

Very nice park to play and or relax. Lots of places to sit by the river. The have picnic tables and benches up and down the sidewalk and plenty of trees in the park or by the river bank to hang a hammock. It's a cool place to go to enjoy hanging out at a park that has all kinds of things to do or not doing anything at the same time. Tubbing the river, fishing, swimming, walking, running, reading, sunbathing, napping, having a picnic, or like I did showing off my artwork. Not only there are all kinds of people visiting from outta town, there are locals enjoying the same stuff to do too. Pretty cool vibes and very friendly smiles. I would definitely come back and enjoy this beautiful park again.

Loaded with shops art, music, restaurants, excellent beer garden, and a nice little cinema. Good restaurants too. Looks like they are building some nice apartments, this area will flourish even more. Right by the French broad river with a walking path along the river.

As tourists, my family and I have been excited and curious to explore many popular things to do in Ashevile and this place popped up in the search. We were really glad that we came. This place is huge and we had a chance to explore only small part of it. The local artists are so talented. The next time when we spend our vacation in this city again, we'll definitely explore the rest of this amazing place ☺️

Great place to go. Very energetic and expiring. When you walk in various studios, you will see the artist and their friends actually doing their art. You can actually see the love for their art and the love for meeting new people. Many artists studios that I went in the artist was there creating the art right there. They will stop and talk to you. Walk you around the studio. Show you the prices of the art. Let you know what went into it and everything. It is a great experience just seeing people doing what they love to do. Moreover, just take a stroll and take your time. It's also calming for your soul. You will find very various food places in adult beverage spots to go to as well. You even find a record store which is also fun. You can park and you can walk. You'll probably have to do both, but one thing you will do is enjoy.

Beautiful church! The woman inside was very informative and told us some information about the Church

Remember to check the visitor schedule. Since it is open, just for someday if the week and in a specific time. But I truly recommend visiting the Basílica, the place brings calm and gives you peace. It's full of history and art wherever you look. Love my time at the Basílica

A small basilica worth the trip for several reasons. The priest that celebrates mass is very reverent and one can see him shortly before mass, praying on the side altar. Always a sign of devotion, at least I like to see priests praying. Check the schedule directly with the church as the times do not coincide with the ones posted online.

You can definitely feel God y la Virjencita when you walk in. Love it. Priest was great, and the lady's up front made me feel welcomed. Thank you

Beautiful church and the guy at the door was very welcoming. You do need to pay attention to the visiting hours. Self guided tour and the informational sheet was full of helpful history and pointed out awesome details.

Beautiful building, closed on the day we went to visit. Perhaps another time.

Beautiful. Undergoing renovations so check their website for changes to Mass times and tours. Great Jubilee 2025 stop if you are interested.

Beautiful property. Well maintained. Lovely and knowledgeable staff. Loved the audio. Listen at your own pace and the extra tidbits of information we learned on the audio before entering a new room. Very interesting.

I had my bridal luncheon here and it was amazing! Vanessa and Cole were so sweet and kind. I also really appreciated that I forgot to tell my aunt who hosted, that one of the bridesmaids was gluten-free, dairy-free, and pescatarian. When I asked Vanessa, if it was just possible for them to make one salad without the dressing so she could eat, she took initiative and made sure to prepare a whole meal for her to be able to eat lunch with the rest of us. That meant a lot to me to know that someone I love dearly could partake in lunch with us even though it was an error on my end. Overall I absolutely had the best time, the scenery is beautiful but the staff and service is a quality like no other!

Highly recommend! Everything was perfect! Excellent service. Our room was beautiful, spotless and the bed was so comfortable. The view from our room was over the top! We loved morning breakfast. It was outstanding. Drinks and music on the main floor was a delight.

A fabulous stay! I recommend it highly! They have excellent staff, rooms and food! The Biltmore is beautiful!

Loved staying at the Biltmore Inn. We had one of the newly renovated rooms with a fantastic view. The room was very clean and comfortable. We had the package which included the buffet breakfast and private morning tour of the house before they opened. The private tour is a must. We had a group of 5 plus the guide. It was quiet and you could really ask questions and go at a pleasurably pace. We also had a pass for the length of stay and we went back to the house after lunch and it seemed like there were several thousand people in the house. It was noisy and hard to maneuver through the rooms. The grounds of the estate were the most impressive to us. I highly recommend staying at the Inn where It’s easy to experience the entire estate.

Probably the worst experience I ever had . Beth the Director of Reservations and Dina at the front desk were very difficult and condescending.

Most marvelous place to stay. Take an extra day to truly enjoy the experience.

Lovely time to come visit the Folk Art Center. We visited last winter when NC had been severely damaged from the Hurricane Helene and it is wonderful seeing all of the beautiful crafts on display in the center and seeing the artists who made them. So happy to be able to support local artists and to support the reconstruction of the Blueridge parkway. Thank you for all you do!

This might be an interesting stop at the start of Blue Ridge Parkway. The exhibits at this center change, and we found some lovely wool works. They were very cute and made us smile. There's a wonderful gift shop, which already had a lot of interesting and truly beautiful Christmas tree decorations in October. I can only imagine what luxurious Christmas tree decorations will appear here in November and early December! We didn't buy anything because the prices were too high for us. But if the prices had been a little lower, I would have left with three or four purchases for sure!

The Folk Art Center in Asheville is a wonderful place to visit, especially if you’re driving along the Blue Ridge Parkway. We headed north toward the top of the mountain, and the colors were absolutely beautiful. It’s a great time to visit — this weekend was amazing, and the coming weekend should be just as lovely with the fall colors. The place is clean, well-maintained, and offers plenty of free parking. There’s no entry fee, and they even have restrooms available. Inside, you’ll find beautiful handmade crafts and artwork, as well as a few art galleries where you can purchase unique pieces. The lady at the help desk was very kind and helpful — she patiently answered all our questions and explained everything clearly. Overall, it’s a lovely stop with a peaceful atmosphere and plenty of local charm. Definitely worth visiting if you’re exploring the Blue Ridge Mountains.

I always stop here whenever I’m in the area to see what I can find. Wide variety of gifts for yourself or others with a range of prices. If you have young children, you may want to have one parent walk around with them outside since there are lots of breakable things. There is also a small gift shop for the Blue Ridge Parkway that has some cute things for kids! There are also usually crafters demonstrating their techniques. Lots of parking as well

Outstanding collects of local arts and crafts. Here you will find a bit of everything and many offerings are reasonably priced or unique in style. This place is worth a look and your time. Great for gifts or for your personal collection of goods s.

If you're in the area and you need something to do this would be a great place to stop and explore lots of different exhibits on the folk art of the Blue Ridge Parkway lots of things to look and the way it was set up was planned out well they have a visitor center gift shop and a Folk Art Center gift shop you'll definitely find something interesting here

The Folk Art Center is one of the stops on the Blue Ridge Parkway. A lot of the Parkway is still closed and this is the last stop at the moment as there are barriers preventing you from going north. The Folk Art Center is free to visit. Sometimes when I visit, you can see people working on their crafts. They were during my most recent visit. The building is accessible for everyone. The first floor has restrooms, the Southern Highlands Craft Guild shop and a Blue Ridge Parkway shop and an information desk. The second floor showcases the art. I love seeing all the different types of art from the quilts to woodworking to basket weaving. I enjoyed the stained glass and a canvas that was woven. It was quite unique. I enjoy the rotating exhibits as it is different each visit. Outside there are some trails if you want to explore nature.

Don’t ask to use the restroom 6 minutes before they open because the answer will be NO! I stepped into the delivery door to ask and after being told no, she closed the door fairly hard. I don’t understand the lack of empathy. I wasn’t trying to cut the line. Picking up 10 scones for our staff’s breakfast. This place has great bakery items, pizza and sandwiches. I come often and never have been disappointed. Returning for pizza pickup at lunch for a work event also. Have your receipt ready for online purchases. Good thing my co worker sent me the online receipt link since at the register I was told the scones were not part of the lunch order.

Flat Rock Village Bakery nails the wood-fired, thin-crust game — bubbly, crisp edges with a perfectly chewy center. The toppings are fresh, flavorful, and generously applied, and even 35 minutes later it stays hot and delicious. This is hands-down the best pizza in town — full stop. The classic organic crust is worth every penny, and if you like thin, light, wood-fired rounds, this is your place. It’s always my go-to when I want a standout pie with no fuss and all the flavor.

This is one of the most unique eateries in the area. Outdoor deck seating under a spreading tree, quiet and relaxing. My club sandwich was great and I may have added a pastry from the glass case full of enticing treats (hello pecan bar)!😋

This quaint bakery is situated directly on the main street running through Flat Rock. The parking can be difficult, but the food is worth a few extra steps. The staff is bubbly and professional, with warm invitation to enjoy excellent coffee and delicious food. Bagels, bread loaves, cookies, muffins, tarts and quiche are a few of the amazing in house pastries made to perfection. Their food options of pizza and sandwiches are delicious. I only have one recommendation for improvement. Destroy the recipe for the "ranch". I have never had a ranch that had lemon in it... It wasn't ranch. It actually made me quite sad.

Sweet little wood fired bakery, great local hub, kind folks, and comfy indoor and outdoor vibes. Cooperative Roasters coffee brewed to perfection.

Got the worst chicken salad I've ever had here. 3rd time visiting hendersonville but our first time eating here and Because of the reviews I thought it was going to be good but unfortunately it was not. The chicken salad was nothing but large pieces of red onion. Barely any chicken or any chicken salad at all on thr two large pieces of tough bread. So it felt like I was eating bread and onions. For thr price it was not worth it. Doesn't even come with chips or a drink. We got pizzas too and they were disappointing. The pizza cheese was just crumbled cheap parm and super salty. The pizza dough was so thin that you couldn't pick up the pizza without it sagging towards the floor. Would of been better off with frozen pizza from the grocery store. The only staff that was nice was the girl that took our order and thr lady that was very cheerful and smiling. She helped get some parm cheese for my husband. Because of them I gave the service 2 stars. Unfortunately we will not be trying them again. Spent almost $60 on terrible food.

We brought out of state guests here. Everyone loved their food. I had BBQ pizza with gluten free crust. It is a thin crust pie, but it was delicious! The flavors were great, and it is one of the best GF pizzas I've ever had!

We love going to baseball games and enjoying them with friends. The venue is spacious and clean, and we can enjoy ice cream, drinks, and food inside the stadium. Everyone is very respectful and friendly. We especially like going to this stadium because it supports nonprofit organizations, such as the Hispanic American Women’s Association, which hosts the Hispanic Heritage Festival there to raise funds for scholarships for young students going to college. I believe it’s important to support businesses and establishments that give back to the community.

We are new to SC and I won tickets to the game. It was so nice!! All of the food and drinks were very reasonably priced. Staff w a s friendly. During the 7th inning stretch there was Tyler's Balancing Act which was so impressive and entertaining. The fireworks are the game were beautiful. Totally recommend for families visiting or locate residents.

Have been here for a few games now, and also have sung the national anthem here. Very classy stadium and just outside the downtown area. Friendly staff and all the locals I met were friendly as well. Food was excellent, there are many food options here.

Such a great stadium and family-friendly experience. They do not sell concessions in the stands, which I love. Plenty of bathrooms, concessions stands, information tables, trash and recycling bins, attendants. It's just very well executed. The between inning entertainment is also very well planned and engaging.

Fluor Field is a fun and welcoming place to watch a ball game. It’s unique as it includes the green monster in homage to its major league affiliate the Boston Red Sox. It’s great to see the stars of tomorrow in downtown Greenville. I highly recommend going on white claw Wednesday’s when they’re only 3 dollars. The fireworks after many of the home games are a great addition to cap off a fun night.

Absolutely stunning field! The facilities were spotless which is really difficult to do during an athletic event lol. We had seats on top of the Green Monster which is the green wall in the outfield. The view was incredible. We had an amazing view of the field and the surrounding buildings (a lot of work has obviously gone into this area). There were plenty of bars and restaurants surrounding the stadium so there was plenty to choose from. We found parking easily and affordably. I cannot say enough good things about the staff! I am disabled so going up and down steps is extremely difficult for me. The attendee escorted me to a restroom inside the team facilities so I wouldn't have to walk a long way. We chatted about minor league baseball and the different teams and fields which took away any awkwardness whatsoever. He then showed me where to meet him to get to an elevator after the game. He actually was waiting for me to make sure I got turned around correctly. While I was in the facilities I met one of the vice presidents and a couple of her interns. They were very down-to-earth and very friendly. We will definitely be making another trip up here! It is about a 2-hour ride but it was worth every single minute!

Tonight we went to our first game as SC residents. We were occasional Fenway Park fans, so we were excited to see a game that in in a stadium that was modeled after Fenway. Its much smaller and more affordable BUT my snapchat to friends back in NH fooled them. They thought we were in Boston! We loved the free parking and free trolley ride to the park and back to our car after the game. And, hats off to Greenville, SC police for posting at the parking lots for fan safety. That was awesome! Though we are Red Sox fans i must admit that we spent more time at Lowell Spinners games. We always found minors league MBL games to be more dynamic and way more affordable than Fenway. Boston is simply expensive. Period. So, we are delighted to find a Red Sox farm team close to our new home. BUT... and its a big one. The crowd is soooooo mellow. I think that the park tries to jazz things up, but the people could be a little more ummmm excited?? Also, just a suggestion for the owners of Fluor Field. I think you nailed it. Your park is truly a mini-Fenway and its wonderful, clean and your employees are fantastic. But... it cannot be a true replica of the real thing until you get a Dunks. I am not the biggest fan of Dunks, but I found myself wanting a Dunks iced coffee REAL BAD. Its part of the Fenway experience... along with the Sam Adams.. wink wink... power suggestion. Thank you Fluor Field and the Greenville Drive for a wonderful date night! We will be back... many many times.

This was a very smart move the city made in creating this public environment for all to enjoy. They're lucky that they have this natural waterfall feature in their town. it's a great for the locals and a awesome place to stop as you travel. There's a parking garage nearby the charge $3 an hour we stayed for about 3 hours it was plenty of time to relax walk around grab something to eat and head on to our next adventure. The kids like going down to the water and walk on the cross the rocks. It was a very beautiful, and romantic we seen a couple get engaged there. Looking forward to our next visit there.

Amazed to see the waterfall inside the park & inside the city :) it was charming beautiful & clean. Entry is free. Fascinating to that park & surrounding areas were reclaimed & redeveloped - I can imagine it would have been such taunting task. Reedy riverside walk is awesome. Bridge adds to the beauty.

This park was so beautiful!! And it was within walking distance of our hotel (Embassy Suites). It was so peaceful here. We walked down the creek for about a mile. It was nice to see people enjoying such a beautiful green space together. There were walkers, joggers, and bikers all on the trail and people fishing in the creek. This is definitely a must visit if in the Greenville area.

It’s our first trip to Greenville and this downtown area is so impressive it makes you want to sell everything back home and move here!! So many dining options, then a great path to take an evening stroll, watch the waterfalls and the ducks. We loved it!

It’s truly a beautiful park with so much to see and well-maintained trails. You can even get into the water, and there are plenty of spots to relax or enjoy a picnic. If you’re visiting Greenville, I definitely recommend stopping by here. We parked a bit farther away, but parking was free for two hours.

What an outstanding place located right in the heart of downtown Greenville, South Carolina. The river played a major role in the development of the city from its settlement days forward. The park and the immediate area pay homage to that. A magnificent curved bridge spans the river high above, allowing terrific views of the falls and the rocks that form the bed of the river. There was not much water flow the day we were there, October 18th, but my understanding is that when there is a lot of rain it is an incredible sight to see. There are a lot of activities, restaurants, points of interest, and things to see within walking distance of Falls Park, so find a parking spot and take it all in!

Wow! This place is Beautiful! I could spend the whole day there! We are visiting and my cousin took us there yesterday and we thoroughly enjoyed our time! She said on Saturday they close down the street and put up a market. We are absolutely going to go back for that!🙂

Not a bad seat in the house. Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Great place to see anything you like from Greenville's amazing Symphony Orchestra to plays and concerts. The acoustics are excellent for sound transmission and quality. It's a lovely building too.

Received an in person tour from Lindsay a week before my event. Needed to see a better view of seat uptime before I purchased. Tour was very good. Lindsay was very kind and helpful. Seats were every comfortable. Aisle way is bigger than expected so no problems there. The balcony is in fact high as hell. Just like all the comments mentioned. If that doesn't matter to you... it is a great view. Hope this helps. You can also look up view from my seat online and it will help as well. Learned that from Lindsay.

Peace Center was very easy to find being in a great location. There are tons of employees to accommodate finding your way, whether it be to find the restrooms or even a cocktail. Memorabilia station was quick and organized. The show Back to the Future was great. This was a gift given to us and isn't our normal entertainment but enjoyed the show. It was even equipped with a REAL DeLoren, moving stages and of course lots of singing.

Nice concert venue. Friendly staff, good acoustics, cheap parking near by. Get the private balcony seats!

Went here for the Witcher In Concert tour. Was a wonderful concert made better by this nice concert hall. Very spacious and comfortable seating for what it is and the outside of the hall was very clean and aesthetically pleasing to look at. Concessions were courteous and fast as well. All around, great.

I've gone to several concerts and shows at The Peace Center. Beautiful and not a bad seat in the house!

Wow!! The Peace Center in Greenville SC is a phenomenal venue for all sorts of concerts drama productions are musical theater. I’ve had the Privileged to enjoy many events, including @Wicked and @LionKing and @ Moulin Rouge. All FANTASTIC.

Smaller zoo which makes it great for toddlers! We were able to walk through in less than 2 hours. We purchased our tickets ahead of time, walked right in, and had no problems! They allow you to bring in outside food and drink as well which is always helpful with kids. The biggest attraction is the giraffes. We were able to feed them right at 10am when the exhibit opened. Would definitely recommend if you have kids in the area!

It's a small downtown zoo, so you have to have perspective. You can walk the entire thing while taking your time at each enclosure in 90 minutes. So if you are expecting the NC zoo size, then it's quite different. The variety of animals is quite good and on a calm and pleasant day you got to see everyone active. Distance to every animal is fairly close so getting pictures or seeing their movement is really easy. The entire park was clean, well laid out, and simple to navigate. Pricing was typical for concessions and souvenirs, and gate price was lower than your really big zoos which was nice to see. I was very impressed with what you were able to experience while being wedged into a near downtown area. I will come back.

Greenville zoo is a fun place for a family outing! If you can, I suggest you buy tickets online as it saves you $2 per ticket and all you have to do when you come to the gate is give the confirmation number and you are all set! I went on a Thursday and it wasn't that busy at all! I went with a friend and our young kids and they loved it! Especially the Orangutans and the Monkeys. We only had 2.5 hours to spend there including having our packed lunch which took a half hour of that time. We would have easily spent 3 hours in the zoo part and probably another hour at the park outside the zoo.

This is a small zoo. It's beautifully maintained. The animal habitats are well-designed and constructed. The exotic animals, birds, reptiles, and tortoises we saw looked in peak condition. The Barnyard exhibit is empty. It is going to be rebuilt. There was no litter or graffiti. It was our first visit. We definitely plan to visit again.

Such a fun time! Was busy but not over crowded. Went at 11 AM and left around 1 PM. Got to visit multiple areas more than once. It took us about 45 minutes to get through the whole zoo. Short sweet and cute for a quick spur of the moment, need something to do on a Saturday.

Fun day at the zoo with the kids and grands. Small zoo and some exhibits were closed. But still a cute zoo to visit. Very hot the day we went. They had misting stations around zoo, which helped cool things off.

Great spot for a family outing! We went on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn’t too busy, which made it easy to enjoy. It’s the perfect size for a 2-hour visit—you can see everything without feeling rushed. Our 3-year-old especially loved feeding Miles the giraffe, which was definitely a highlight. A fun, laid-back experience for families with young kids.

We visited Mt.Mitchell in October during peak leaf season. Unfortunately, the higher elevation of Mt.Mitchell was past it's peak. But it was still totally worth the drive and the walk. We were up above the clouds on a beautiful fall morning. We got wonderful pictures and a nice little workout. We would definitely do it again. The drive getting there is spectacular.

What a beautiful view — 6,523 ft up! The drive to Mount Mitchell State Park is absolutely scenic with plenty of viewpoints along the way. The mountain roads are a bit narrow, so it’s not ideal for new drivers, but the journey is totally worth it. We visited during the fall season, and the view from the top was breathtaking — it’s one of those places where you just want to sit quietly and take in the beauty around you. 🍂🏞️

We were lucky that part of the parkway and road up to Mt Mitchell recently opened. Terrific twisty turny ride up the mountain was fun. The ranger we met was a friendly young lady full of information and knowledge of the area. The coffee shop even opened up for the first time in a a while. Fyi, if you're over 70 you do need to walk UPHILL to the summit. Its doable, just take it easy. Great park. You need to see it.

It's worth checking out, especially in October. You'll need to use this address in Google Maps: 867VQP8M+HW, otherwise, it'll just drop you on the road instead of the visitor center or a hike. The museum could use some updates, but this spot itself is really cool and has a lot of potential for improvement. It's a breezy and relaxing place to hang out with the family.

Wonderful day driving up to Mount Mitchell, nature at its best. The leaves were spectacular! The scenery surrounding the blue ridge parkway will take your breath.

Love it up here was glad to bring my friend Rama here when she and her husband came up from Florida they are from Syria originally we had a wonderful day. I also grew up around here spend many days galaxing growing up to make money for school clothes so mt Mitchell is home this is my home town my heritage all I know I wouldn’t be able to venture far from these mtns I love them so much they are the most beautiful in the world in my book a lot of history around this area you just got to talk to the locals who live on or around the mtn we can take you to places that’s not pointed out on the map you will never want to leave .

Beautiful drive up, great area. Easy hike. Lots of rest spots if needed. Clean bathrooms. BEAUTIFUL VIEWS

A pleasant little park. The Covered Bridge is beautiful but as you can tell it is the main and only attraction to the park currently. If you're in the area it's worth stopping by, but not something I would make a special trip to visit.

Nice little price of history and park. Great place to take a walk and also enjoy a picnic. Holiday pictures would turn out amazing here.

Campbell’s Covered Bridge in Landrum, SC built in 1909, 35’x 12’ featuring diagonal timbers and vertical iron rods. There are a few trails and a picnic area. It was a beautiful day and saw lots of colors.

Very cool old bridge in a nice park. Great place for lunch or to picnic. You can walk down to the waters edge to dip your feet on a warm day.

Really cool to see the last covered bridge in South Carolina and read the history behind it. There’s also a great little half mile loop trail. I was amazed at the actual architecture of this bridge. Definitely worth seeing.

Stopped right as it was closing. Was able to grab some photos. The bridge looks like it might not have much more life in it. Looks very crooked. Very picturesque.

Easy access, handicap parking, trails, well maintained, dog friendly, very pretty park

Cool walk along present and past BMW vehicles produced in the plant there in Spartanburg County. A very cool building with the fountain outside made for a neat experience. They even had a few of the BMW motorcycles on display that were nice looking.

Don’t go with big expectations they have a few classics BMW’s and a sample of all the latest. No reservation required and is walkin to the museum. Clean space nice little cafe and a BMW souvenir store. Takes a max of 30-40 mins to go around

Very informative tour, beautiful facility. Impressive machines and efficiency of factory. Loved that they take you on a bus, give you safety goggles and headphones to guide you through the factory.

The building is an architectural art piece. The museum itself is lacking. Only about 20 cars, 5 worth seeing and 3 motorcycles. Video is interesting. Snack cafe has a few offerings. Most everything in the gift shop is made in China and overpriced.

Very nice tour. Just wish you could take pictures on the tour. Amazed to see how much is sourced from the local area to make each vehicle. Makes me want to buy one.

This was park of a factory tour and we enjoyed it but there is not much to see at the museum and at the factory. It is about a 30mins walk inside the factory at most, a lot of robotic arms and not much to see as they have fence all around.

I visited on 3/6/24. Our tour guide was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of my questions. The tour did not seem rushed and we were able to see many facets of vehicle assembly (excl drivetrain, mechanicals, interior), especially fit and finish. The museum was compact, but comprehensive. I wish they had some additional motorcycles on display; there were only four and I hoped the display would include adventure bikes. Maybe they didn't feature more because they aren't produced there? (Hey, BMW, they don't take up a lot of room!) The biggest miss was the gift shop. I wouldn't be so harsh had I not previously toured the Munich plant (Sept. 2016) and experienced that store. Munich's store was nothing short of phenomenal. Reasonally priced, custom-made goods, with European flair and design. I previously purchased a black "BMW Welt" women's fitted v-neck t-shirt with cool, unusual graphics and made with thick cotton, a "BMW Welt" rollerball pen, a blue "BMW Motorrad Motorsport" women's fitted v-neck t-shirt (again, thick cotton with white and red sleeves and a BMW logo appliquéd patch, a silkscreened image on the other sleeve and "BMW Motorrad Motorsport" larger and written down the back, on the reverse). What the Greer, SC facility did have was two light pink women's shirts that I wouldn't be caught dead wearing (one was a polo shirt). I saw nothing with "BMW Zentrum" on it. Instead what I found was typical American apparel with overinflated prices. I was interested in purchasing items for my three young grandchildren. There was nothing I could find to purchase for them! Two boys and a girl, ages 7, 4, and 2! My son always asks me to purchase books from where I visit for them. I purchased "Greenville, SC" books for them at O.P. Taylor's Toy Store in DT Greenville. I also wanted to purchase a book about the facility. There were no books, postcards, coloring books, children's books, or any reading material for that matter! During my visit I walked through the store three times to make sure there wasn't anything I missed. Nope. This facility has been open for 20 years! What gives? The gentleman working behind the counter in the Isetta Cafe made a perfect, European cappuccino! Bravo. Addendum (2/6/2025): The other day, my grandson was wearing one of the items I bought at the Munich museum gift store in September of 2016. I am adding them to my photos so someone at BMW can see the difference in items offered in the Greer location gift shop.

I had a blast going here. I did think it was going to be a bit more but I still enjoyed. I am excited to go back during Christmas to see what they have going on. As a mother I would not travel a long ways to go here. I also wouldn't drive the nicest car I have. Lol. I may have a little horn bump but what did i expect? Great laughs and beautiful animals.

We went for the Magic of Lights, it was so packed and I'm guessing if you have young kids it'd be great, but it was just OK, the best part was the drive thru deer experience, but that cost an extra ten bucks and no where does it say that when you choose which way to go, it'd be nice if the sign said "for an additional ten dollars, drive through out deer experience", because although that was the best part, it wasn't anything special. Great for little ones, teens and adults not so much, but I will be back for the zoo itself.

Their light display was one worth of the patience to experience... well maintained, though a little muddle, so don't wear good footwear. The deer forest was worth the admission and feed. Cows and deer came right to the vehicle and there was sure enough deer to keep you on your toes driving.. bring Hand wipes and sanitizer. Cows and bulls will sure make you wish you had some ... but hands down, best experience I've had the privilege to make memories from... Thank you hollywild.

We were very disappointed with our visit today. The main entrance listed on the website was closed, and there was a sign saying that all information is on the website. The website clearly stated that it is open on Sundays from 1–5 pm. We arrived at 1:30 pm, but everything was closed. Later, we saw another sign on the road pointing to a drive-thru, but that area was closed too. We even drove around the entire place, and every gate was locked. We also saw another car driving around, clearly trying to find an entrance as well. Our child was very upset, and the whole day was ruined. Very frustrating experience.

Took my mom and daughter. We had a very nice night. The wait at the beginning was about 10-15 min, after that, no wait at all until we got in line for the deer forest. It is very very muddy, but no a problem for my vehicle.

3HOUR WAIT TO GET IN. Seriously we got in line which is over a mile long at 5:45pm... they close at 9pm. We didn't get to the lights till 8:50pm a WASTE OF MONEY! We drove over an hour to get here and I bought tickets ahead of time in so we had to wait 3hrs for less the nothing. 3 hours 3 HOURS for the line to split into 6 lines.... 2 of which DON'T MOVE. Only to go back to 1 single line. Seriously the 2 far left lines don't get in them youll be stuck watching everyone else get in. The women working the shack are too busy chatting and having "technical issues" to get people through. Watched 12 cars in the line to our right get through as we just parked. I finally had to walk up to the shack and ask whats up and magically the line is moving.... then the person "directing Traffic" let's just the cars to the far right go and forgets there are other lines. I paid $90 to sit in a parking lot..... we also didn't get a chance at santas villages, too long to get in. My kid was heart broken at not getting to see santa or the grinch. Also if you buy online TELL THEM they aren't paying attention so deer forrest, small toys you buy if you don't tell them you don't get it. Just this was a horrible experience. 1 of the geese in the park also has a messed up beak and I felt so sorry for it. We got in 9minutes before they closed. Just not worth it. Paying $90 to get to see some ok lights and animals that are now overfed so the deer forrest wasn't worth the extra $10. None of the animals were hungry anymore. So not worth it. So terrible, I've been coming to hollywild since I was a kid....and honestly this is the WORST I have ever seen it. You'll be paying for a parking lot experience. This just was horrible. I wasted money and more importantly so much TIME.

We go every year. It’s a Christmas tradition. It always worth it. I highly recommend the deer farm! Go early because if you don’t, the animals get full and they won’t eat as much. Always a wonderful experience.

We like to visit wineries wherever we go. We found the winery to be unique and fun. We like dry wines and the Chardonnay was excellent! Would recommend to anyone.

While visiting wineries in the area 09/06/25, we found the gates closed and sign (visible in Street View) missing from post. Sorry we could not add this to our otherwise excellent outing. (Had to click a star to post this, but have no experience to guide me.)

First of two wineries we visited recently while in this area near the NC/SC line. Friendly staff, we were served by the assistant winemaker - he was able to tell us about the history of the vineyard (established back in the late 90's) as well as the more recent russian owner and influence. The Russian Chapel in the center of the vineyard was beautiful, shipped over from Russia and reassembled in the vineyard. Wish was could have hiked out to it but we had limited time. I was impressed with each of their wines, white, red and only muscadine. Feeling was remote, mountain vineyard, relaxing (outside deck), shady overlook of the vineyard and chapel.

Very unique wines! We were blessed to visit at a time we were able to do a tasting with Andre, the owner. It was fascinating to hear him talk about his wines and his Russian heritage. We enjoyed our time at this winery very much. We look forward to visiting again in the future!

Can't tell you anything about the wine here. We were visiting from Wisconsin and drove 20 minutes from Lake Lure. Sign in the window says they are open, but both doors are locked and they are not open. Checked online and it also says they are open. We waited outiside over 20 minutes before leaving.

Enjoyed spending some time trying Honey wine which was delish and learning about the history of this very interesting winery.

We had a lovely, personal tasting from the owner. Many wines on the flight were very good. We took the Mosaic blend home - highly recommend it for red wine lovers (Cab Sauvignon + Cab Franc + Chambourcin blend). The original Russian chapel is a cool touch. You can actually go inside. A nice stop on a Lake Lure drive.

Got their Philly cheese steak with fries. Meat, veggies, and bread were on point. The cheese tasted weird..I would probably get it again but without cheese or maybe sub the cheese for a different kind. It tasted like beer cheese? Or cheese you dip pretzels in. Fries were super good and the staff were incredibly friendly!

Really enjoy this brewery. The wheat/peach based Son of a Peach is amazing. It used to be available around Norris Lake in Tennessee but it is no longer distributed to this part of the country so I made a run from Cincinnati exclusively for picking up several cases. Well worthy the effort Also enjoyed the fish and chips which were perfect and brought out extremely fast. Great staff, great facility. Highly recommended.

Love this home made brewery. The live music is fun and they allow friendly puppies.

I have been twice recently and have not been disappointed by the food or beers! I’ve had the fried Phunky Chicken Sandwich and the Buff Puppies. The chicken was much larger than the bun which provided a few challenges but I would go back any time just for the Buff Puppies. The smash burgers are pretty tasty as well! It can be a little loud at times, but doesn’t make it impossible to talk and have a great time. I will definitely be going back.

this bar is THE hidden gem of spartanburg! their cocktails are out of this world! if you’re in town for a concert or a spartanburger game, this is THE PLACE to pregame. ask the bar staff what their recommendations for cocktails or beer are! they’re super helpful and can help you kick off your night the right way! also try the wings! best in spartanburg! smoked and house made sauces!!!

Was in town passing through for business. Great atmosphere usually live bands the nights I would patron. Barkeep we’re usually very friendly and the pace is broken up into two sections. 1 for the main taproom and the other will a full bar. All in all the experience was great and enjoyed the brews! Cheers!!

We did not come at a very good time to catch this place at its best, so I don't think we got to see how much fun this place could be. We'll definitely be back to check out RJs a few more times, and I hope to be able to bang out a solid 5 stars for them. I understand you can bring your dog to a certain area of the bar, so that's a pretty cool feature that I'd like to try out.

View and atmosphere? 10/10. Wine? 10/10. Definitely the best I’ve had in the foothills. Owners? 11/10. We had the chance to connect with the owners a bit over wine… what a cool couple with an incredible story. They built something really special and we can’t wait to come back again

Great selection of wines! Beautiful atmosphere! Don’t miss out on experiencing all the beauty this place has to offer. The owner, Jennifer was so nice. Megan was also friendly. Great experience overall. Can’t wait to come back when we are back in the area!

Beautiful winery, gorgeous views. Friendly staff. Delicious wine

Beautiful location. The wine are very good with a nice selection. Dog friendly too

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this vineyard. It was beautiful and the wines were delicious. A must st see?

A lovely little winery with a nice mix of reds, whites, and pink (rosé), friendly staff, and a beautiful view. Live music and food trucks are regular occurrences on weekends. You can stroll among the vines, plus they've expanded their restrooms to 3. A great place to visit.

This was an unexpected surprise. The wines were very good. We tried several “so many wines and so little time” every one there was very helpful We brought home several bottles getting ready for the holidays Great place and the views were amazing

The Gaffney Outlet Marketplace is a large outlet center. Overall it’s fine but looks a little old and not perfectly maintained. They do have many of the large brand name stores that other outlet centers have, but many of the stores are closed. The stores that are there are great but the place is not very busy. We had a good time shopping there.

Some store are closed but we found what we were looking for. Some brand names had really good prices and we bought some things . It is a little dated since we have been here first few time about 15 years ago. Food court only had one option that we didn’t use.

This outlet could be great if the owner took pride in the location and renovated the building. With a few improvements, it could easily attract new businesses, but in its current state it’s not worth stopping for.

Bath & Body is the only great place to shop. More outlets here would be beneficial to the public. UGG, Kate Spade, Children’s Place, Corning, & Perfumania would do well.

A little busy but all shops are limiting entrance. Plenty of stores to choose from and a nice escape from corona lockdowns. All shops require masks and the sales and discounts flow like water. Downside is the wait at some stores. Not all have lines though.

This yellow building was once a Great Mall to go to. Most of the spaces are closed. The only restaurant left in the food court is a Chinese place. The mall looks abandoned with the exception of a few stores that are left.

This Outlet Village has definitely seen better days. Lots of the buildings are run down, there is litter laying around, half of the stores are either closed or almost empty, the restrooms are disgustingly dirty. Made a good bargain at Ralph Lauren but would definitely not recommend coming here.

We just had to stop in an see this landmark after hearing about it on TV and such. It was a bit out of the way, winding around to get to it and GPS wasn't the best. You have to let yourself through the gate to get into the park area. It was worth the stop to see it for real, and read the history presented at the park. It has been the point of jokes, and you can clearly see why in person. A great artistic idea that turned out a bit different than planned I guess.

Awesome landmark! So cool to see it every time I head north or south on I-85. For closer looks there is parking.

How super cute is this! We randomly saw it on the map as we were driving through, so decided to stop for our picnic lunch. Fully fenced in, well-maintained grounds, peach trees, and 2 picnic tables. We even had it all to ourselves. I love finding spots like this. Tiny parking area.

Online says open 24 hours BUT on the fence says it closes at 5pm. So we had to take pictures from outside the fence. Still very neat to see.

Just driving down the interstate...when all of a sudden...a giant peach appeared out of nowhere! it was not on my itinerary but I had to stop and visit...(I mean how could I not?). There did not seem to be any signs directing visitors towards it...I thought I could figure it out...but it turned out to be a job for google maps. There is very limited parking. It would be hard fit for a larger car or truck. But it was whimsical, artistic and awesome. It is surrounded by a small park with picnic tables. Definitely worth a stop especially if you have kids. A great photo op for them to show their kids when they get older. 5 stars foy the Peachoid! (No admission or tickets required).

Gates were closed when we went. The resturant (Fatz) is closed and very much run down, so theres nothing else to do but look at the peach. Still a cool roadside oddity.

Although the former restaurant that was there is a safety hazard and an eye sore. It was a great spot to get a different view of the famous Gaffney Peach. The wiffey and I had a cooler full of food and drinks stopped by and had lunch. Then our back roads home was fantastic. GREAT way to spend time and see the sights with the ones you care about.

My son loved the train ride. They only take coins and cash so be prepared. He also mentioned that it seems like a long ride, which was 3 laps so he was very satisfied with the length. There is a nice playground and other attractions as well including an outdoor swimming pool.

We rented the gym for several hours and we had the best time. These Park employees go above and beyond. They treat you with the upmost respect and kindness. I couldn't have hand picked a better group of people. This is where you'll feel right at home. The grounds are so clean,the bathrooms are second to none. Just can't say enough about how wonderful this park is.

Love the train and carousel and the park itself is great. They host a lot of neat events throughout the year!

Always have such a Great time at the Shelby Merry-Go-Round Festival they have here each year! You can't beat 1 price for unlimited rides and free entertainment! LOVE IT!!! 💖

Was playing tennis at the court at 6pm and this guy comes up and kicks us out because he's a "teacher" who teaches rich kids. He said that court is for teaching only. However there is no sign and no lock. Online it says his lessons end at noon. And it also says he offers teaching at the Shelby City Park tennis court(S) so I don't know what makes him so privileged to get that specific tennis court when we were there first and there are 2 other perfectly good tennis courts he could use. And it also says online that there are 3 courts available for play daily, so if that court really was just for him why would they advertise online that 3 courts are open the the public not 2.

I go there for safe walking, with paved roads and sidewalks. Nice tree lined walk ways bring joy from pleasant strolls to hard serious strides.

Love the Carousel. Easy parking, may have to walk lil ways on certain events like big travel softball tournaments. Clean upkeep.

What a great ball park. Well attended. Fun crowd. We will be back. Go 'Dads.

Small-town country feel baseball stadium in Hickory, NC. Great food! Funny sound clips! Not a bad seat in the house. $5 parking.

L.P. Frans stadium in an awesome place to watch the Crawdads play. Not a bad seat in the house and very child friendly

The best time to go is the getting of season, just to get the feel of everything.

The facility is nice, the vendor lines were soooo long though. It wasn't even busy I can only imagine if it would've been busy. The main critique I have is the tiny seemingly closet sized apparel store. We could barely move around. They should limit the amount of guests inside at a time. Way to small of a space for an fan apparel store !!!!!!!

It's been years since we've been here for a game and I was pleasantly surprised about how clean it was. The game was exciting, the food was tasty, and the atmosphere invigorating. I definitely want to come back again. Great way to introduce kids to baseball games without the huge crowds of MLB game.

Lots of fun cheering on the Crawdads!!! Everyone loves hotdogs at ballgames, just wish they were a better quality here (Nathans are very salty and they don't "plump" when heated) and they should be served HOT, not cool to the touch, my only complaint. Fun Times, Great Stadium. Friday nite games have a great firework show afterwards and always fun events for the kids and adults alike. GO 'Dads!!!! 📣👏🎇🎆

Kings Mountain National Military Park is a fantastic place to experience history firsthand. Walking the battlefield trail was a great way to learn about the battle—the well-placed informational signage really helps you imagine how the events unfolded. The visitor center is excellent too, with detailed exhibits and a short film that gives a clear overview of the battle. The Park Service staff were, as always, friendly and very informative. The mile-plus trail does get steep in spots, so be prepared if it’s hot and humid—you’ll definitely work up a sweat. Luckily, the visitor center makes for a perfect cool-down spot afterwards. Highly recommended for anyone interested in Revolutionary War history!

We came here from Charlotte, NC being this the closest Revolutionary War battlefield from there. We just wanted to learn more about this pivotal military engagement. We were not disappointed. The Battlefield Trail is nicely paved, and we had no trouble pushing our stroller up and down. The information signs were in good order and the information nicely presented. It was a hot summer day. However, the path is mostly shaded by the forest trees which made it tolerable. The Visitor Center was magnificent. There was great attention to detail to make it look like you are walking inside the battlefield forest. Our children loved the soldier figurines on display. All is all, Kings Mountain National Military Park is a great place for families with children to spend one or two hours enjoying nature and learning about the birth of the American Nation.

Kings Mountain National Military Park is an amazing NPS site to visit in South Carolina! The trail is amazing to walk and is relatively simple. The visitor center is also very welcoming and has lots of great information! A ranger also gave us a demonstration of a musket firing and was very knowledgeable about the Revolutionary War! Overall I highly recommend visiting Kings Mountain!

Nice park with a good path around the battlefield that gives you a good idea of what it felt like looking up the mountain and what it felt like being surrounded on top. It has a number of placards along the path explaining the battle. There are also a few offshoots to markers where prominent figures fell. Unfortunately both times I've been, the facilities have been closed.

I have to admit I became interested in this place because of the Outlander series but this park is beautiful. It's serene and respectful, almost like you can feel the spirits walking the trails beside you. Even if you aren't into history, the battlefield trail behind the visitors center is a nice little walk. Great for birding too! The rangers were so nice and they'll help you get started. I would love to go back and explore more of the park when I have time!

Military park honoring those that fought in the Revolutionary War battle of Kings Mountain between patriots and loyalist Tories. The grounds are very well kept. There is an easy 1.5 mile hike to the battlefield area. We also watched a musket demonstration by one of the reinactors. Visitor center has a small museum and you can watch a film on the battle. Visitor center personnel were very friendly and helpful. If you are interested in American history, check it out.

It is very humbling. I had a great visit. It is close enough that I could visit more often. The visitor's center could use updating. I would have to check the budget to see what is going on with that. Employees were helpful and very courteous! On the trails, we saw various wildlife. The Monument trail was laid out well.

Skydive Carolina is an amazing place to experience this exhilarating sport. We meet Peanut first and he eased everybody’s nerves, especially my wife’s. He was supper approachable and answered anything we asked. This was my first skydiving adventure (tandem) and Justin was the professional jumper I was with. He made the experience even better. Super cool guy!!! The facility looks very professional and clean. The whole experience was great and I already signed up to go again!!! To the whole staff at Skydive Carolina, thank you for a great time and look forward to do it again!!!

Absolutely incredible experience! The staff was incredibly friendly, explained everything thoroughly, and made me feel completely safe from start to finish. It was truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. If it’s your first time doing a tandem skydive, I highly recommend getting the video and photo package. You’ll want to relive the moment over and over again!

I have NEVER walked into an establishment and felt more welcome, in my life! Every person who was working @ skydive Carolina, had a friendly genuine smile. I was excited, nervous, all the things…. But it felt wonderful to be doing something so extreme and have warm people to surround me! Thanks Eli for being so incredible! He made sure I felt safe and secure! I will jump again!

Holt was absolutely amazing! This was my first time skydiving and I was a bundle of nerves, but Holt’s calm, confident energy instantly put me at ease. He explained everything clearly, made sure I felt safe every step of the way, and brought such good vibes to the experience. Couldn’t have asked for a better tandem instructor—thank you, Holt!

I had the best experience!!! It was so fun and exhilarating! Definitely going to be going here again, the staff was pleasant and a joy to be around and work with! My jumping instructor, I only remember as ‘Dancing Dan’, was easy to get along with, had a hilarious sense of humor, and an overall great personality while being a great instructor. My videographer was also wonderful to be around and did a great job! Would recommend and if you’re thinking about it, do it and come here! You won’t regret it:)

My daughter and I went on a Monday. The staff were professional, calm, fun and answered any question asked. We never felt nervous, anymore than you would that is, because they explained everything that was going to happen. They triple checked all the devises and we dove out of the plane. It was intense, exhilarating and Brian took me on a ride that I won’t easily forget with spins and a brake with free fall again. Super fun! If we do it again it would definitely be with these guys.

Checking the bucket list off just one thing at a time. If this isn't on your bcket list I highly recommend adding it, truly an experience of a lifetime. Check them out you will meet some really awesome people from arrival all the way to departure. Safety is their top priority! I had Peanut and my husband had Anthony! If I could put 1000 stars I would!

What a special and wonderful museum! Ive been coming here since I was a child and now I get to bring my son and daughter and show them the same beautiful wonders that I grew up with. We recently enjoyed a day at their Catawba historical village setup with volunteers who were very kind and were super great with answering our questions and telling us cool facts! The gem mine and mill is so cool and it’s peaceful and nice to just hangout around the creek and look at the water. The trails are super fun for my children and a great way to spend the day! So grateful for this place and its employees, it always has great exhibitions that keep us coming back for more :)

Nice museum and Planetarium. Kids loved it as well as the adults. Deffinitly a good option to keep you busy for a couple hours. Unfortunately the Planetarium tickets are extra (5.00 per person). Seems like they should be included in the museum price.

Absolutely an little amazing museum to go and visit right out of Charlotte! Also very military/Veteran/First responders friendly. Many new exhibits are being built, all exhibits working, and an outdoor trail with a farm and more exhibits! A planetarium as well! Super easy to get too and ample parking!

Thank you schiele for the amazing free family day on 11/11/25 . My son and I enjoyed our visit tremendously. The planetarium show was breathtaking and so informative . Thank you for being an asset to our community.

We have been here a few times now. And we love it. The kids always have fun and it’s reasonably priced.

Nice being able to see some animals that other museums don't have! Like different Bears, Big Cats, Dinosaur Bones and a Moose!

Great museum! Would go again and would definitely recommend! Exhibits were great and facility is clean. One draw back…the planetarium show started almost ten minutes early and some of our group weren’t allowed in. Otherwise the planetarium was amazing!

Such a beautiful little free park! I feel like Thomas Kincaid would like this park. I was jealous of the people living across from it that could go at any time because I would be there all the time reading books or working on my computer! The tadpoles were the biggest I’ve ever seen, and that was pretty cool! And we were all lucky enough to stumble upon a princess photo shoot! Lots of benches throughout to sit on, which is nice.

Glencairn Garden is a lovely, peaceful place in Rock Hill. It’s clean, well-maintained, and full of colorful flowers. Great for a walk, photos, or just relaxing. The fountains, pond, and Veterans Garden add to the charm. Best of all, it’s free to visit. Highly recommend!🐢💐🌸🪻🪷🪴

I took my niece and cousin here and we had a blast! It’s only fun if you’re the outdoorsy type because it’s just different trails that go through different gardens and each one has a unique vibe. They also have many bench swings throughout the place. My niece is 5 and she just couldn’t get enough of the place!!

Beautiful park, lovely flowers it’s quiet and so relaxing. There are sometimes workers out there planting flowers and keeping the garden lovely they are very nice and friendly. Great place for a small picnic date.

Glencairn is a special place for the community, and has been for many decades. It is where all local photographers take their families, prom goers, and graduates for photo shoots. The azaleas and camellias do not disappoint and make it one of the few parks with winter and early spring blooms. As a park neighbor, the staff and security carts do an outstanding job.

Clean and pretty park. Nice walking path and fountains.

Such a beautiful park/garden. Lots of natural areas and lots of swings and benches to relax.

Had an awesome day! Even with the July heat, the shaded lines, fans, and free water kept us going from open to close! I highly recommend the premium dining plan. By the time you buy 2 meals and a drink you’ve basically paid for the plan. Then, you get to eat every 90 minutes and drink every 15 minutes. Going on a weekday will give you the ability to ride basically all of the rides multiple times! The staff was awesome, kind, and helpful answering any questions we had. Looking for a fun activity for the family that is outdoors and away from screens? This is a great option! We brought a big group our church and had a blast as well! Overall, I’d highly recommend this amusement park if you’re into thrilling rides, good food, and a great time with friends and family!

What a GORGEOUS and well kept park! There are so many rides I don't think it's possible to do them all in one day! A perfect blend of theme park thrill and carnival charm! The pathways are all very wide and accessible for wheelchairs/strollers. This is very much a thrill park that doesn't offer much entertainment other than the rides themselves, but still nice to go strolling around and shopping/eating. So if you're not a ride person this park may not have too much to offer you, but a beautiful visit nonetheless ✨️

The park is spotless, with well-organized entry controls, and the variety of roller coasters is fantastic — each one feels like a completely different experience. I managed to ride almost all of them! They have great promotions, plenty of food spots, drink stations, and souvenir shops spread throughout the park. The staff is super friendly, and the park itself is huge, full of history, and perfect for a full day of fun.

Wow wow wow …I never thought I would be able to take these thunderstorm rides haha. We really enjoyed them and we found all we needed in the park:fun, food, smiles and most importantly collected memories 💪🏻🫂🥰

The fury was amazing. Lines were not unreasonably long, drinks were overpriced, bathrooms were kinda gross in some places in the park, Octoberfest was disappointing but the beer was delicious. Staff was super friendly especially Hailey at the t shirt airbrush booth!!!!! Season pass holders should definitely get fast passes for a discounted price!!!! $55 for one season pass holders is stupid!

It's a smaller park, but it's packed full of good times. This was our first trip to the park, and it was spectacular! The rides were great, the food was great. The only thing that wasn't so great was spending so much money on souvenirs. We were able to get on pretty much every coaster. The longest waits were on Fury 325, (definitely worth it), and Carolina Goldrusher (not worth it). We missed out on Vortex and the Flying Cobras. Our first ride was Thunder Striker, and it was a great introduction to the park. That forest drop was nothing to scoff at, and the rest of the ride was a rowdy good time. It was on to Kiddy Hawk, and I'm sad to say it was a little rough. The over the shoulder restraints were cumbersome, and the ride was rather rough. From there, we took a short walk over to After Burn, the inverted looper. It was surprisingly quick, with lots of good inversions. It was probably my third favorite ride. The next coaster we went to was Copperhead Strike, a launch coaster. This one was my second favorite of the day, with an inversion right out of the station, leading to the first launch into what is best described as controlled chaos. You do need to rent a locker for your belongings, or leave them with other members of your party. (The same applies for Fury 325.) We took a break from coasters, and hopped on Zephyr, a little swing ride. After walking for a bit, we got in line for Carolina Goldrusher. This one was a little on the rough side, it is definitely showing it's age. Afterwards it was time for a little break. They offer an all-day wristband for drinks, which you can get every 15 minutes. We also got some food, they also offer an all-day wristband for food every 90 minutes. The food was surprisingly good for a theme park, and things were decently priced. We then hopped on Rock and Roller, your typical roundabout flat ride. We then continued our adventure through the park and found ourselves on Ricochet, which is best described as what it must be like to be a pinball. It's a traditional Wild Mouse coaster, with plenty of tight turns and steep dips and drops. Leaving Ricochet, we jumped to Carolina Cyclone. This Arrow Looper is the precursor to Magic Mountain's Viper, and it offers a little bit of a smoother ride experience than its (much bigger) cousin. Having finished with the corkscrew coaster, we wanted to try out the Woodie, Hurler. Unfortunately, it was down, so we decided to go on Fury 325 instead. We were only in line for about 30 minutes, and honestly, I could have waited longer. This was easily my standout favorite of the day: great big drops, massive overbanked turns, and plenty of zero-g moments. It's pretty obvious why this has been named Best Steel Coaster for nearly 10 years running. By the time we were done with Fury, we were hungry again, and stopped for refreshments. We ended the night with Hurler, and it was definitely a wooden coaster: angry and unapologetical, it doesn't give in. There are better Woodies out there, but there are also some worse ones as well. All-in-all, it was a great experience, we will definitely be coming back for more.

Very nice park , clean and everything seems to be well maintained. All the employees I encountered were very nice and seemed to do their jobs well. All the food we tried while there was very good from brisket to pulled pork and chicken tenders. I was impressed with Fury 325 and Copperhead Strike . Both are great rides . We came on a Sunday, a very hot day and the park overall was not very busy or at least imo it wasn't, though I'm used to Cedar Point type busy 😅😅. Overall great experience at this park.

Very interesting museum featuring Sully's plane that went into the Hudson River. The short video about the water landing was very interesting. Saw some of the real passengers sharing their experiences. The rest of the museum had several different kinds of planes and helicopters. Passenger and military. We went on a Wednesday afternoon and there were several people there enjoying the museum.

Fantastic experience at the Sullenberger Aviation Museum! Our 4- and 8-year-olds had the best time exploring cockpits, trying simulators, and even earning their little pilot licenses. A perfect mix of play and learning. Highly recommend a visit!

This place is a must-visit for anyone even remotely interested in aviation, history, or just incredible stories of human resilience and engineering. The Sullenberger Aviation Museum was an absolute highlight of our trip. Walking through and seeing all the old planes — both commercial and military — was amazing, but the centerpiece is obviously the actual plane that Captain “Sully” Sullenberger landed in the Hudson River. Standing in front of it, reading the stories, and hearing the firsthand accounts from passengers on that flight… it gave the whole visit an emotional weight that really sticks with you. What really stood out beyond the exhibits were the guides and staff — every single one of them was friendly, engaging, and seriously knowledgeable. You could tell they love what they do, and it makes the experience that much more immersive. Now, my stepfather is a huge history buff, especially when it comes to anything military-related, and let’s just say… it took some convincing to get him to leave. Between the military aircraft, the historical timelines, and the detail in the exhibits, this place was everything he could’ve hoped for — and I had a blast too. Whether you're an aviation nerd, a fan of heroic stories, or just looking for something memorable and meaningful to experience in Charlotte, this place delivers.

Overall, it was a great experience with many interesting exhibits. I learned a lot about the history of different planes (military and civilian), as well as the history of the Charlotte airport and aviation in North Carolina. It was cool to see the Wright Flyer replica, as well as a C-130 and the "Miracle on The Hudson" plane. They also have many interactive exhibits, such as flight simulators (in the cockpit of a plane) that you can use and screens that you click through to learn more about topics such as the stories of individuals in aviation (military and civilian). So this museum appeals to multiple interests: -Military history and aviation technology -The history of civilian aviation in general -The economic development of Charlotte -Getting hands-on experience (the flight simulators and the Honeywell-sponsored craft room). We were deciding between this museum and the Museum of Illusions, since we only had a few hours. And I'm glad we chose this one. As a side note, the ticket price shown here on Google Maps is $18. But at the museum, that is the before-tax price for children. The cost for adults is $25.50. They have discounts for military, education professionals, seniors, etc. But it may be good to check the online price before you go (unlike me). You could also potentially get the multi-museum package for 1 or 2 days if you have the time and interest to visit multiple places.

Great way to spend a few hours if you’re interested in aviation and history. Good variety of planes and helicopters on display. Good information about the history of aviation in the Charlotte area over the last century. The displays are informative and well done. There are a few hands on exhibits including a flight simulator. Lots of volunteers are there to answer questions and use the technology. The video on the crash is well done and takes only about 15 minutes. They say allow an hour and a half but if you have a lot of interest in the subject I would double that. There is an onsite gift shop and a lunch counter.

Very interesting and educational museum. Miracles on the Hudson story very extensive. The plane from the crash is on site with videos of the event that day. Other aircraft viewable both inside and outside aviation buildings. Plenty of simulation opportunities and a nice gift shop. Ample parking in the lot and close to Charlotte airport.

The google reviews do not do this place justice . It is absolutely stunning inside and out . So much to do and look at . You are allowed to sit inside some jet cockpits and also a commercial Boeing full cockpit which was awesome. There are planes too to bottom and the vibe inside is sick like an arcade or movie theater . My kids 13 and 6 loved it especially the plane game simulators and so did I . It never felt crowded at any point . The price is definitely work it and I would come back again

Best Lake in America! Love this place. Ramsey Creek and Jetton Park are flat out gorgeous sights and beautiful walks. Many easy access food spots on or just off the lake. The vibe is wonderful always

The Lake is absolutely beautiful with crystal clear water, but, the lake has a problem with blue algae blooms. There is currently a no contract order for affected areas. It is not recommended to fish or boat at this time.

Beautiful lake .. water sports .. fun overall

Awesome lake over 52 mi.² and 515 linear miles of shoreline. Clear water, sandy beach, islands, lovely scenery and beautiful houses.

It truly is our own Inland Sea. Grew up on the shores of LKN and now spend just about every weekend March through September on the lake. Absolutely the best sunsets around.

Place is absolutely beautiful. Great place to hang out. Been here a lot, so it’s definitely worth it. Other than the water getting dirty at times, it’s a great destination to hang out. Weather sometimes gets on your nerves, but that with everything that goes on. Definitely coming back here for my next visit.

Great family place. Kayaking, biking, hiking, or swimming, or camping you name it. You can do it all at Lake Norman. You can visit the educational center to learn all about the Lake and how far it extends throughout the state. Walk through the trails, and dip your feet in the water.

Amazing place!!!! I love Billy Graham and I am so glad I got the opportunity to visit his library. You can sense the presence of God there, all the staff are SO WARM and FRIENDLY. The tour and experience is well organized and laid out. I would gladly come back again and again. Glory to God for blessing us with such a man and his ministry. And to all who put this together to honour his legacy which points us all to Jesus. And it’s totally free!

This is a must see! The Billy Graham Library is truly a special place. The Journey of Faith museum experience is so well done it beautifully captures the history of Billy Graham’s life and ministry. Walking through, you can see how God used his obedience and faith to impact millions around the world. Every exhibit is meaningful, and the storytelling is powerful and personal. I visited years ago and wow, that have really done a pronominal job. Be sure and check out his childhood home, which has been carefully preserved, as well as the quiet, peaceful gravesite it’s a moving reminder of a life well lived. A great tip: take a little time to sit on the back porch with a good book and just soak in the atmosphere. The setting itself is peaceful and welcoming, making the entire visit feel uplifting. Also spend some time in the gift shop as well as the cafe. The food on the cafe is really good and reasonably priced. I left encouraged, inspired, and grateful for the reminder of how God can use one life surrendered to Him and reach so many,

What a neat place! I think they moved Billy Graham’s home four miles to this location, which is pretty amazing, Rick. The people there are super friendly. I don’t know if I would call it just a library or more of an experience. It begins with a visit to the main library, where friendly staff introduce you to the site and give a short tour via videos about Millard and his evangelistic movement. At the end, of course, you get a call from Billy encouraging you to give your life to the Lord, which is a nice touch. However, some people might find it odd if they just happen across the place. The house is well maintained, although you can’t go upstairs. There are a couple of pieces of furniture that were actually in the Graham household, while everything else is period-appropriate.

Beautiful experience! I would visit again and would love to take my kids. This is a great reminder of our purpose as followers of Christ, to spread the gospel. Each exhibit is amazing and great way to share his life and all his accomplishments.

We visited the museum several weekends in a row because we really enjoyed the tours and the walking areas. We gained a lot of positive emotions and inspiration from the life story of Billy Graham. His home is a work of art in itself, and we enjoyed every corner of it.

Had an Amazing time. Such a fun, peaceful place. Billy's story is unmatched. Staff are all friendly and even offer to pray for you. Prices aren't terrible and there is food on site(and ice cream)

Visiting the Billy Graham Library was one of the most moving experiences of my life. The atmosphere is filled with peace, love, and God’s presence. A truly beautiful place that touches the heart and soul.

This park has a nice beach by the lake. Unfortunately you can’t swim from the beach. You can’t even go to the water for some reason. The signs are everywhere. But if you have a boat you can swim from your boat. I’m sure it’s safety reasons but so weird to be at the beach and not able to get to the water.

​The Jetton Park Loop is a 1.5-mile paved trail that's perfect for walking, running, or biking. Shaded by trees, it's a great spot for beginners. You'll find parking lots located along the loop, and restrooms are available near the Jetton Waterfront Hall and the playground. Enjoy scenic views of Lake Norman, and take advantage of the many picnic decks and fishing spots located along the trail. Its simple amazing places to spend time with family and friends.

Amazing park. It has it all - paved walking path in a beautiful Pine forest by the lake, playground, pet friendly, swing benches, BBQ grills and tables, event venue, clean restrooms. I love bringing my guests for a morning or sunset walk. Peaceful and serene area with a view of beautiful homes and the lake. That's a definitely winner for me!

An amazing paved trail to walk with your dogs. I think there are two trails, both over a mile, but I swear it seems to go on further. I will be definitely coming back! Fantastic views, too.

Jetton Park is nestled along the shores of Lake Norman, offering a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The park features well-maintained walking trails that wind through lush greenery and alongside the tranquil lake waters, making it ideal for a leisurely stroll or a refreshing jog. The scenic views are breathtaking, especially during sunrise or sunset, casting a golden hue over the water and surrounding landscape. Families can be seen picnicking under the shade of towering trees, while others take advantage of the ample space for recreational activities. Definitely recommended!!!

Love Jetton Park! So Beautiful! It's a MUST DO for a walk around the Park. Nature at its finest!

Beautiful park with lots of paved trails and a small beach.
