Our tour was on 6/19/20225 at 12:00 Noon and it was absolutely breathtaking, mind blowing and thought provoking. Not only did allow me to pause to reflect but it also received how inherently out of touch my generation and my children’s generation are with a historical reality. I’m so grateful to God we had this experience and our tour guide was nothing less than exceptional with how he narrated the contextual frame and store of each segment. I would highly recommend this experience for any child no matter their race or culture.

I had an incredible experience at the International Civil Rights Center & Museum in Greensboro today. Our tour guide Darren made this visit truly special - he shared these stories with genuine passion because his own family member was part of this civil rights history. You could tell this wasn't just a job for him; it was personal. Our visit carried extra weight knowing that just yesterday, on September 4, 2025, we lost Major General Joseph McNeil, one of the legendary Greensboro Four, at the age of 83. Being in that museum today, walking through the same spaces where McNeil and his fellow students made history, felt like honoring his memory. The museum doesn't sugarcoat anything. Darren walked us through the harsh realities of oppression, racism, and how people were treated as less than human simply because of their skin color. As a Black American woman, those harsh realities and visualizations pulled hard on my heartstrings. Hearing these stories made me uncomfortable, and honestly, that's exactly how it should feel. If we're not bothered by injustice, we won't fight to prevent it from happening again. What really got to me was how Darren connected the past to today. He helped us see that learning about these painful chapters in history isn't meant to make us feel guilty - it's meant to make us vigilant. When we understand how discrimination worked then, we can better recognize and stop it now. The actual museum space is powerful too, especially being housed in the building where the Woolworth's sit-ins began. Standing in that same space where four college students decided to take a stand gives you chills - even more so today, knowing we just lost one of those brave young men who changed history. If you're planning a visit, ask for Darren if he's available. His storytelling brings this history to life in a way that textbooks never could. This place does important work preserving these stories, and everyone should hear them.

Great place and great customer service. My experience here was great. Highly recommended. However, I think that there should be discounted admission prices for college students as well, not just K-12. Also, it is more about "African Americans Civil Rights" than "International Civil Rights."

It help my kid understand she was in trip by writing a essay and it show all people who die or jailed or punish but no pictures I didn't take any because my kid did she didn't take anything else but this but they nice and sweet to her school rosewood middle 8 grade trip was good to her I love that she enjoyed it

In the current state of our nation this is a place everyone should visit regardless of your demographic. My wife and stopped to visit on our way up to Maryland and took a guided tour with Mrs. Jeanne. She was absolutely the best and had a wonderful singing voice, the guided tour was TOTALLY worth it. Get Mrs Jeanne if you can ;)

I love anything dealing with history. The good, the bad and ugly. This museum was so informative and I learned abt so many stories that I had never even heard of before. I opted for the self guided tour so I could be on my own time and schedule reading everything. The tour started with abt a 50min documentary then can proceeded to walk the exhibits. I spent abt 2hrs total here. Great way to learn things while also staying cool from the heat.

The gentleman at the front desk was very polite and welcoming. Our tour guides- Angela and then Darren, were very friendly and knowledgeable about each topic. You could tell they’re very passionate about their roles. Such a great experience, very eye opening! Definitely worth the time. Our tour took about 1 1/2 hours. I would go again and try the self-guided tour so I have more time to read from each board in each part of the exhibit.

Really nice medium sized zoo and aquarium. The zoo has plenty of shade. It reached 85° the day we were there and was very tolerable. There are plenty of great different animals you would not expect. There is an AMAZING sky walk adventure zip lines and aerial walks. Bigger then any I've see elsewhere. $40 per person i think. Great for kids

We had a lot of fun here! The animals husbandry was very nice and clean and the animals seemed to be well taken care of and happy. My daughter (and mom) loved everything. There is some construction going on that is a bit loud, but that’s unavoidable.

Took my 12 year old here for her birthday. Bought tickets ahead of time and arrived at opening. I hadn't been here since I was a child several decades ago. The changed are amazing and wonderful. Several animals in the zoo that I had never seen anywhere else. The museum was informative and entertaining. The aquarium was gorgeous and the kids loved the stingray touch tank. I was worried about ask the walking since I'm disabled but there were plenty of opportunities to stop and rest. Great special day trip.

What a tremendous place! There is so much to do. I recommend planning a whole day here if you're bringing kids over 6 years old. The ropes course was incredibly difficult but a lot of fun, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. My family really enjoyed the aquarium and zoo. Looks like a terrific place for school groups and field trips also.

The Greensboro Science Center is an incredible mix of science museum, aquarium, and zoo all in one! You can explore fascinating exhibits, see amazing marine life up close, and meet animals from all over the world. Right now, the Blue Whale exhibit is a must see it’s breathtaking and educational. The staff are friendly and passionate, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend adding this to your list when visiting Greensboro, especially for families or anyone curious about the natural world! It’s about an hour and a half from Raleigh, but worth the visit.

My family has visited this location several times and each visit is just as good or better! It's the perfect day trip for small children, but there are so many exhibits and things to do for all ages. They offer concessions but also allow outside food and drink which is great. All the staff I interacted with were friendly and knowledgeable about the center and the animals/exhibits and the animals appear to be well-cared for. While a lot of things stay the same, it seems like they have a rotation of new things as well. We got to visit the new butterfly exhibit on our last trip. I love that it's a one stop destination for a zoo, aquarium, and science center. They also have a large outdoor playground with climbing ropes, slides, and treehouses. We will definitely come back and be recommending to others 😊

Great little all in one zoo-aquarium-science center for kids preschool to elementary age. My teen was a bit bored because the information was definitely geared towards the younger crowd, but he did have a great time in the special exhibir ($3 extra) doing a flight simulator. The younger kids had a blast, especially at the tree house playground. I really appreciated how the time was organized at the touch tank to keep it from being too crowded. Also, I love red pandas, so very happy to see them. And I'd never seen a pygmy hippo before.

My fiancé, both my boys (7 & 11), and myself decided to do something different being very new to the area. It was the perfect start to our Sunday morning. Peaceful, scenic, and educational, we all enjoyed every moment of it.

Guilford Courthouse National Military Park is a wonderful place to explore Revolutionary War history. You can either walk the battlefield trail or drive it—I chose to drive since it’s fairly long. Along the way there are multiple stops with monuments and informational signage that really help you imagine how the battle unfolded. The visitor center is also excellent, with a short film and plenty of displays that explain the battle in detail. As always, the Park Service staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend for history enthusiasts!

Nice historic park. We noticed a lot of local people use this park for walking, picnics, exercising, and such. Not many tourist like us to be seen. Park was enjoyable. Yet small it was a good experience.

To see and walk where history was made is an interesting experience there's alot of monuments and statues to explore all around this battlefield and give credit to the people that maintain and take care of this historic area if your interested in history or like to visit national parks you'll enjoy your vist here

I'm not a hiker or anything related to this type out outdoor stuff. I only walked around for about a 1/2hr. It was kinda quiet even though there's busy roads around it. It maybe better if you did the tour but for my 1st time there I was pleased. I look forward to going back. I'm sure when the leaves change color it'll look spectacular.

We walked around the whole thing, and it was beautiful. There were, you know, informational signs about the battlefield and the history around it. Gave you a real sense of what it was like and realize where you were standing was where people fought to defend and risk their lives. Very well maintained. Went on a holiday, so would have loved to seeing the Visitor Center, and i'm sure it would have had more information. Would have loved to do the tour. Very dog friendly with Trash bags and cans all along the trail.

I was very pleased with the walking and driving tour of the park. Maps are available at the visitor center and access throughout is easy to get to. The parks also have an app you can download for an audio tour. I'm just sorry I went on a Monday when the visitor center was closed.

We went on Wednesday to wet and Wild. I recommend buying the tickets online. I paid 49.99 for ticket and a meal voucher. The meal voucher was good at 4 different restaurants in the park. If we hadn’t purchased the meal voucher the meal would have been 13.99 each. So it’s definitely worth it. For all the rides that had longer wait times during the day we waited until 4pm to ride them and the wait time was no more than 10-15 minutes. We were able to ride everything. The wave pool is the best.

This was really amazing. Loved seeing the craftsmanship of all the displays! Lots of photo ops and sets as well! I’m glad the event kept popping up in my feed and would absolutely recommend! 10/10 experience. The only item I’ll caution on is your patience getting into the park; we were in major traffic back ups for 20-25 minutes and then waited in line to enter for an additional 20 minutes… Pro tip- if you can go after 8:30; when we left there was no traffic backup and no line to enter! Great for the family or a unique date night! You can thank me later!

My family and I decided to go to Wet and Wild on a somewhat last-minute trip on a Sunday. I was able to call in the morning and talk to someone on the phone about obtaining tickets. Tickets at the door were $65 per person over 2 years old. However, if you purchased them online, you would be able to get them for $35 a person or $30 for a military. Unfortunately, when I tried to do the military option, I was unsuccessful several times. The extra $5 would have helped pay for the $20 parking. However, I was still very happy to get a discount for purchasing the tickets online. We arrived at the park at noon and were able to stay very busy until the park closed at 5 pm. There were several restrooms throughout the park, and the soap was always full, and the bathrooms all had toilet paper. The employees were in a good mood. They were also very helpful if we had any questions. The pools were somewhat chili to my body's temperature preference. However, we were all able to get in the water and enjoy ourselves. The Lazy River, I wish they had pulled out some more tubes for people to get on, but it was very relaxing. My children enjoy jumping off of the pirate ship into the pool. The only thing I was slightly disappointed in was that my 5-year-old, who is about 45 in tall, was unable to ride most of the slides in the park. You have to be 48 in tall in order to get on all of the slides except for the ones in the baby area. Since we went with two adults and two children, one of us was able to go on the slides with the older child while the other one stayed in the pools with the younger child. The wave pool was also a huge success for our family. It was so nice that a big wave came about every 3 minutes as opposed to other parks that have wave pools, and the wave comes every 5 to 10 minutes. The pools looked clean. And the lines were not drastically long. The most we wait in a line was about 20 minutes before we were able to actually get into the Lazy River or the slide. Overall the atmosphere was very nice at the park. We also enjoyed some food. There was plenty of seating, and we were able to secure a couple of seats near the pirate ship. Another pro was the availability of life vests at essentially all of the pools. My 5yo felt very comfortable and safe in that, even though he is a beginner swim. We will definitely be returning.

Overall, it was a good fun family event. They could have had more entertainment or stuff to do. Another performer, face painting, music in the main area so it wasn't so quiet, more than one live pumpkin carver, Halloween games, etc. for the price. There was a random guy break dancing in the middle which was neat & fun to watch but his music was really low & it was kind of random. It was sort of like it was unsure if he was paid to be there or a random person who set up and just started dancing. He was a great dancer though and very interactive. The pumpkin designs were awesome and super detailed. I loved the variety they had.

***PUMPKINS AFTER DARK REVIEW*** So we went for the annual Pumpkins after dark and I didn’t see a lot of details as to what to expect in any reviews so I thought I’d give one here incase people were looking. We went on a Saturday with 8pm tickets. It says online they’ll allow 15 min early entry but late entry isn’t guaranteed, so plan accordingly. I’d imagine Saturday being their busiest days. There was no traffic until about .02 miles from the entrance. They were incredibly efficient at moving the crowds both with the parking lot, and the ticket line. Honestly a masterclass in handling large events. There were TONS of people there and we waited maybe 5 min in the car line before the attendant who was tracking cars leaving found us a spot right up front. And then we got into the intimidating entrance line but that too moved extremely quickly and we waited maybe 5 min. ( pro tip purchase tickets and add ons for things like maze/toys online for quicker entrance and experience) once you get inside there’s artists carving pumpkins, some street like performers who were really kind and fun! Theres also the 1 bathroom which is large, clean, and had no line. There were 2 food trucks one serving funnel cake sweet type fair stuff and one serving Mexican ( taco, burritos, nachos) we ended up not eating here ( and this is why I took a point off ) bc with kids none of the options felt smart to buy and walk around to eat ( there’s nowhere to sit and eat) they should definitely think of offering more food options and maybe some tables/benches. They had a 3d black light maze which our 6 yr old twins loved, and the star of the show is the long trail of beautifully scary carved pumpkin displays! Just WOW! I purposely didn’t include pics to not ruin it. The artistry is amazing! They also decorated all along the trail and use lights and music, smoke machines etc. THERE ARE NO JUMP SCARES AND THIS IS COMPLETELY CHILD FRIENDLY. I read in a few descriptions there were carnival rides/games…there wasn’t. I felt this place was pretty reasonably priced (with the maze only being $5 and we even got 3 light up souvenir toys for under $40. ) for what it was. At the end of the day it’s a bunch of beautifully carved pumpkins and Halloween decorations. Our 13 year old was a tad disappointed. If you’re looking for amusement park level Halloween activities- this is done VERY well but it’s not the same thing. Much better for little kids or a cute date night!

We had a lot of fun. Tons of cool pumpkin displays very detailed. I was impressed I took lots of pictures. Only bad thing they ran out of a lot of the food options.

Me and my family went on a Saturday morning. We got to the park right at 10am. It was cheaper to purchase tickets online so once we realized that after going to the window. We sat off to the side and purchased our tickets. We had a ball. We spend majority of our time at the wave pool. The only thing I would say is the food was horrible. Overcooked chicken and cold fries. The customer service at the food spot was lackluster as well. I would suggest going early and getting tickets in advance. Parking was $20. We had a blast and it was fun to cool off in the water.

Another spot I’ve been going to my whole life. I went here today and saw a bug I had never seen before. There are so many cool trails, wildlife and nature here.

Although not a huge park, the Bog Garden is a beautiful, biodiverse place to relax and explore. While here I saw so many ducks, chipmunks, squirrels, birds, and geese. This trail mostly has boardwalks and paved trails, making it very accessible. There are two other trails that are dirt/woodchips with stairs. No restrooms on site, except for the ones next door at Bicentennial gardens.

My grandparents used to live just up the street from this park, and I LOVED coming here. As I got older, I'd walk to the Bog Garden, then the Botanical Garden across the street. And it was my safe place to go when I was upset or needed time in nature while I spent time with my grandparents. It also helped get me into plants and bugs and birds!! It's not only great because of nostalgia, but the way that it's designed and how clean it always is!!! One of my favorite places on Earth!!!

Great little walking path. Walk along the creek as you wind through the woods. Over a few bridges, pass a pond, and up to a small waterfall. Cool stone steps lead you up the hills. Very fun walk. Took about 30 minutes to complete with taking side trails.

Awesome place to immerse yourself in nature without taking too much time off the day. I enjoy watching the waterfowl!

Short little walk, but different due to the bog. There's a lot of ducks and turtles to watch and some decent views of the lake nearby. Not long but right across the street from a larger park if you want to walk longer.

First time here and me and my nieces loved it. There were a good amount of people there from the community. We were feeding the birds, squirrels and chipmunks. Lots of water fowl and we might of even seen a beaver. It's an easy walk, the boardwalk is a circle and there are paths that branch off.

Just saw my favorite band Sleep Token this past weekend & had an amazing experience. The band had some issues that made the show have significant delays that caused long lines waiting to get into the venue. My son REALLY had to use the restroom, so I found a very sweet lady at a security check & she took him back to a restroom to prevent an accident. She said she has worked at this venue for many years, so whoever she is I say THANK YOU! Employees at the concessions were friendly, and access in and out of the venue were manageable considering there was 15k people at the concert! We also took pictures at the stage after the show. Security moved people along, but they also let us have our moments taking pictures without being aggressive about it. My first time seeing a concert here and my first time seeing Sleep Token., so kuddos to the staff for making a great experience for my family and I!

Easy to get to, smaller arena that would be perfect for enjoying a concert as no seats are too far away. Lots of concession stands and enough bathrooms to accomodate the crowds.

Came here for Sleep Token from out of state. The venue itself was clean and well kept. The staff was friendly and helpful when we encountered them. For my friend and I we arrived at the venue around 4:30 and got into line around 4:45-5pm. On the ticket in my email it said that we should get there by 6 because doors would open at 6:30pm. When we found a line at the front of the venue there was no signage or workers nearby to let us know if that's where we were supposed to be. We asked a few others in line and they all just shrugged and assumed it was correct so we decided to take our chances. Around 6:30pm we were told by the other attendees in line that the doors would not be opening up till 7:30pm. Still no interaction with the staff ensuring us that this was the correct line or letting us know when the doors would open or what the delay was. When 7:30 arrive we still had no information. Around 7:40 we overheard through the parking lot staff's walkie that they would delay doors opening till 8pm. Yet again, the attendees in line had to relay the message to the rest of the crowd of the change. It was wild to me that such a delay would happen without a staff member just letting everyone know. Obviously things happen and delays occur. I'm not upset about that. I'm frustrated with the severe lack of communication to the crowd in where we needed to be and when things were going to happen. I've been to plenty of concerts in different venues across many states and this was the first time I experienced such disregard to communicating with the attendees. Once we were in though the experience was efficient. Getting through security wasn't bad, we had our clear bags ready to be searched. I had pre-loaded my tickets from Ticketmaster into my Google wallet and apparently it didn't work at this venue so I had to wait a moment to load Ticketmaster app up again. Which I heard was a problem for many people getting into the venue and caused a bit of a delay. Would've been nice to know that it needs to be on Ticketmaster only. We were finally able to sit in our seats by 8:20ish and the opener (Thornhill) started at 8:30. I heard many people were still stuck outside until at least halfway through the sleep token set!! Which is crazy and I have no idea what caused such delays. We had previously gone to Gas South Arena in Duluth for another sleep token concert and the experience was so vastly different. We still had a blast and enjoyed our time. We were lucky that we were seated and able to enjoy our time but sadly that was not the experience for everyone at this show and I don't really get why. Things happen, stuff gets delayed. It just sucks that it affected to many people negatively.

Facility was nice, very clean. Lots of different food vendors. Definitely had to wait in line for things, but the process of getting everyone in the building was relatively quick once it got going. It seemed like they have a pretty good system, didn't take forever to get out of the facility to the Uber/Lyft spot either. Seating was good, sound was awesome. I would go to another event here.

Nice complex with a lot going on. Get there early to prepare. One way to get in, multiple to get out. For big events they shot lanes down.

Nice place. Very big complex. It was clean, well kept, But if you are a bigger person (maybe tall and/or wide) it's a tough fit. Just a heads-up.

Went for Sleep Token 9/20/25. No signage, no communication from staff. We stood, in the heat of the day, in four separate lines. Myself and my party are all qualified for ADA assistance. We seen others using mobility tools and asked if they were in line for an ADA entrance. All of them said they were told BY STAFF that they would be welcomed to use the elevators through the door as majority of us cannot do stairs. One older white haired guy opened the door and let obviously disabled persons in. He would not allow others in because “this isn’t an Ada entrance you have to go back up top and wait in line”. Basically telling us we weren’t disabled enough to use this entrance. We asked several times politely for a Supervisor. We were not assisted, he did not call for a supervisor, he attempted to shut the door on all of us. Other guests tried a side door to let other mobility tools users in despite the old man and everyone entered the building in response to his non help and his discriminating behavior. We were denied assessable entry. We were denied information regarding accessible seating as there was nothing listed when we purchased our tickets. We missed the opening band because the doorman. We all were experiencing near syncope due to the heat and long standing times. Myself and others who have invisible illnesses were forced to climb steep stairs that was near impossible to navigate with loose and unstable joints. My knee dislocated attempting to climb back down to leave. Myself and others in our party will never return to this venue. I have never been so insulted and discriminated against in this manner. I wouldn’t be shocked if others reported this incident to the ADA. Shame on every staff member we interacted with. The show was beautiful as Sleep Token always delivers, but we could hardly enjoy the experience due to the venues lack of communication, signage, lack of water stations outside, and the doorman. Get your staff and y’all’s act together.

Took my nieces here and they had an absolute BLAST—do you hear me?! This museum is amazing for kids and families to have fun together. Your little ones can explore and use their imaginations to become the everyday heroes they see—like a mail carrier, a doctor, or even ride in a giant MACK truck. It’s a beautiful thing to watch kids light up with joy. A wonderful time to be alive. Joy truly lives here!

This place is huge and I love that there are both indoor and outdoor activities for children of all ages. The facility is clean and well maintained and the staff were super helpful and nice! Could literally spend hours upon hours here and still have more to explore.

Museum was alright however, disappointed in our experience with the quiet room. There is a room in the front that is designated as quiet place that’s states it is for visitors to use for various purposes. This is the room I planned to use to nurse my baby. The two times I went, they were both occupied by different employees using the room for their break/ lunch. I had to wait with a hungry baby while an employee was finishing her lunch. What’s the point of having these rooms if employees use them to hang out in a private space during break? I’m certain there are employee break rooms that could be utilized instead of taking away rooms that are intended to enhance guest experience.

I enjoyed my time and so did my son! The place was clean and in the heart of downtown. Staff was friendly. I had the pleasure of talking to a woman there named Kimber who helped me out while I was there. She gave me a run down of how everything works and was super helpful. I made sure to let her know I would leave a review about how awesome she was. 5/5 stars overall. Hope to be back again soon.

It was amazing I have a 4&5 yr old they went everywhere it was perfect for them they were able to play on/explore everything

This place is so fun! Great for kids of all ages. Loved the water area and outdoor climbing structure.

We had an incredible time here. The staff were all amazing and engaging. I greatly appreciated their help with building, as I myself was a little intimidated by the magnet wall. Each staff member seems like a great teacher and have great demeanors for children. Definitely will be back. ❤️

We stopped here on a Friday afternoon and found parking nearby in a parking garage. The museum consists of 2 floors of information to see related to Greensboro and North Carolina. The museum was quiet and definitely worth the visit if you have a couple hours! Also completely free!

I can't believe that this museum is free. Absolutely love it. It was a really huge job of staff. Such nice exhibits and interactive activity with sounds and live buttons. One of the exhibits is like a real small city, amazing. Not a big parking lot. On weekdays we found a spot for parking.

Great visit to GSO History Museum. The old typewriter and Suffragette dog exhibit were loved by my granddaughter! Very interesting and educational exhibits enjoyable for all ages of GSO residents and visitors. I've shared some pictures!

Amazing! Very informative! Well maintained! It’s incredible that it’s free. Definitely something to do with family or children if they like museums.

Super cool muesum that really does a great job at immersing you in the history of Greensboro with artifacts from the past and showcasings of experiences people had. Plus it's all free!

Free museum, say WHAT?! Not to mention super-cool, with some really fun interactive exhibits. While it's true, several of the exhibits need a bit of updating, overall this is a great experience. Perfect for the whole family, in a stellar location adjacent to an amazing park in downtown Greensboro. A note about parking- do yourself a favor & park at the public parking deck on N. Church St. The rates are very cheap, & far less confusing than trying to squeeze into one of the tiny free lots. (You'll also be positioned perfectly to explore all the other cool activities & parks surrounding the museum.)

A gem of a museum. Was really impressed . Looking forward to going back.

Beautiful green space to relax and take in some fresh air. There’s a reconstructed mill with texts explaining the history and function. There is also a koi pond next to it. Cool statues spread through out the park as well.

First time visitor to this garden. My wife wanted to walk the dog and I wanted to walk for some exercise. The paths are paved and there are lots of benches around to rest on if you get tired or you just want to sit and contemplate life. Either way, walking or resting, you are most of the time in the shade. The flowers are beautiful, the trees are stately and the feeling is peaceful. I enjoyed my walk, slow and easy, while my wife and dog enjoyed a nice brisk walk. If you haven't been here, then come check it out. You won't be disappointed. Take a break from the rat race and the aggressive drivers. .

**Tanger Family Bicentennial Garden - A Serene Escape in Greensboro, NC** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you're looking for a tranquil escape in Greensboro, NC, the Tanger Family Bicentennial Garden is a must-visit! This beautifully landscaped garden offers a perfect blend of nature, art, and serenity. From the moment you step in, you're greeted by vibrant flowers, lush greenery, and charming walking paths that make for a delightful stroll. The highlight for me was the impressive collection of sculptures scattered throughout the garden, each adding a unique touch to the landscape. The peaceful ambiance is perfect for a family outing, a romantic walk, or even some quiet time with a book. I particularly loved the sound of the fountains and the variety of seating areas where you can relax and soak in the beauty around you. The garden is well-maintained, and it's evident that a lot of care goes into preserving this community treasure. Whether you visit in spring to see the colorful blooms or in fall for the stunning foliage, each season brings its own charm. Overall, the Tanger Family Bicentennial Garden is a hidden gem that deserves a spot on your itinerary. It’s a place where you can unwind, connect with nature, and enjoy the artful expressions that enhance this beautiful space. Highly recommended!

Such a beautiful park. I am a Pastor and I performed a private & intimate wedding for a couple very recently. The blooming flowers on the grounds were full and beautiful!

Beautiful gardens lots of birds and if your lucky, maybe spot some small critters

Paved walking paths thru exquisite garden settings. Plus a Patenqut court for play.

Beautiful park. Easy to walk paved paths

An amazingly well-kept and maintained Park. Great place to go on a date or meet and greet. The size impressed me the most. And there's even an area where you can get married. The variety of floral and different sections of plants seemed endless. It was a great evening. Just be respectful and Don't throw trash and ruin it for others.

Free parking, a good 45 minutes worth of exploring to be done. This park has a lot to offer. The gardens are well maintained to look great in any season. A beautiful little creek runs through the center of it. This is a goodplace for graduation and engagement sessions, lots of different lighting situations. Permit required to photograph. Very much worth the money.

@June.2025 A nice little park to take a walk. Park is clean and well maintained. Feel more like walking in a garden than a park. You can walk from one side to the other side within half an hour. Parking is free and plenty of space as well as free street parking.

We've been here several times with our babies for a walk and picnics. It's a beautiful place to get outdoors and let the kids explore. We also went to the Summer Solstice Festival this year and it was awesome! Will be going again next year!

We enjoyed our visit today. It is not a large garden but will keep you busy for a couple of hours. The flowers are beautiful and there are some nice architrectural elements throughout. There are plenty of benches & a picnic area & restrooms available. It is located behind the park\pkayground.

Very Beautiful. I love taking my dog on new trails but we always find ourselves coming back here. Truly one of a kind. Very well kept. I highly recommend visiting.

What an absolute gem tucked right into Greensboro! We didn’t expect much more than a casual stroll when we pulled in, but the Greensboro Arboretum turned out to be a full-blown, magical nature walk that felt both curated and wild at the same time. The paths weave through beautifully maintained gardens that seem to shift in personality every few steps—from sunny, flower-lined walkways to shady nooks filled with twisting vines and towering trees. It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down on purpose. And every corner has a little surprise—whether it’s a hidden bench, a mosaic structure, or a wild bloom that makes you pause and stare. There’s a gorgeous collection of plants—clearly someone here has a deep love for both design and diversity. The dragonvine-orange-fruit-something-or-other (no idea what it actually was, but that’s what we’re calling it now) caught our eye right underneath these giant wind chimes hanging dramatically between the trees. We were half-hoping for a breeze to make them sing, but alas, the air was still. I had half a mind to give them a little push myself—until I realized the bushes underneath were basically thorny security guards, 100% placed there on purpose. 😂 Smart move, Greensboro. Smart move. Despite not hearing the chimes, the walk was peaceful and full of beauty—so many textures, colors, and little details to take in. And it’s not just about the plants—there’s a quiet energy in this place that feels grounding. It's perfect for reflection, or just a slow wander with someone you enjoy being around. If you’re anywhere near Greensboro and need a breather from the day-to-day, don’t miss this spot. Bring good shoes, a curious eye, and maybe a field guide if you're the type to want to name every tree (or just make up your own like we did 😄). 10/10 – We’ll be back, wind or no wind.

This park has alot to offer...pool (closed now)..playground..9 Hole golf course..Driving Range....walking trail..pond where u can fish...lake where u can fish..wildlife education center (open weekends)

This is such a nice place to go to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life, whether you are walking or jogging, hiking or biking, there is so much here to explore. The facilities and trails are well-maintained. The scenery is beautiful, and the wildlife is abundant. I recommend Bur-Mill Park to everyone. I will definitely be going there again!

The bridge on the Greenway heading into Summerfield is closed with no detour route available. And apparently no plans on fixing it . Greensboro, you need to do better than this. Now we’re required to ride on 220 and you’re worried about safety concerns.?

There are several good trails for biking and hiking. My husband and I use the driving range, it's affordable and laid back, an excellent spot to perfect your back swing! This park has something for the entire family.

our favorite park for playing tennis and pickleball, we gladly come back

The paved trail is great. I wish they would fix the bridge to access the full greenway.

I spent under two hours at this park, but it definitely made an impression! We parked by the lake and walked over the bridge. The romantic touch of putting locks on the gate (and presumably throwing the key in the lake), while un-environmental, adds character and mystique to the experience. I wanted a park with plenty of shade, and I wasn’t disappointed. When we walked through the woods on the dirt path, there weren’t many bugs (but there were two deer). The stated closing time was 8 p.m., but we stayed until 8:20. I spoke with someone who said that the park gates are closed at 8:30. I’m docking this a star because I feel that it’s reasonable to expect the park to stay open until 9 or 9:30 (especially on weekends). Hopefully someday the city can find someone who would be willing to stay an hour later (as well as a few extra dollars to pay them).

upon entering the mansion i was a little wary of how interesting it was going to be but once our tour guide, thomas started walking us through time, i knew this was going to be a tour i would always remember! our tour guide really had a way of making us feel like we stepped out of 2024 and into the 1800s. it was such a powerful experience and the mansion’s history had something interesting for everyone in my group to feel like this visit was worth every second! my favorite room was the daughter of the governor, hearing her story and seeing the art she created when she lost her husband was truly beautiful. i also was very happy to hear our tour guide include history on the slaves that lived there , as that’s not very common for other historical tours in the south to include. Was super memorable & would love to visit again when i am back in town !

If I could give 10 stars I would. Our tour guide Elizabeth was amazing. Her personality was perfect for the tour. She was very seasoned on the history of the house and was able to answer any questions we had. She was able to provide ghost stories about the different parts of the house that added to the atmosphere of the tour. The place is very beautiful and so full of rich history. We even experienced a "paranormal experience" which was very fun. We will definitely be back in the future.

The price for a tour is pretty cheap, ($8) and the tour guide was very friendly and easy to talk to, open for any questions. I was the only person touring at the time I went, and it took roughly a little over an hour, walking room-to-room with the guide and talking about the estate and the family. I learned so much and it's amazing to see how much history is so close to home! I would definitely reccomend touring Blandwood for yourself, whether you're a history buff or just looking to pass the afternoon.

A really neat historical spot in downtown Greensboro. It was not open for tours while we were there for a wedding and reception. The grounds are nice and relaxing. Nice spot for a wedding or other event!

Had an amazing tour guided by Thomas! Best historical tour I’ve ever experienced. He went, what felt like was, above and beyond to make our experience unique and memorable. His knowledge of the family and grounds had me in awe. Would recommend this incredible experience to anyone visiting or passing through this area. Blandwood Museum is lucky to have someone who cares so much about the building and history guiding visitors through the beautiful grounds!!

Beautiful property ....very knowledgeable guide. We have been wanting to stop and take a tour. Very worth it.

It was a very educational tour. Thank you Elizabeth, you were wonderful!

The university museum, has an array of different themes of artwork of their students..Enjoyed an Honors Arts Exhibition...

Fairly small art museum but with a very nice collection. Very good way to spend an hour or so if you have some time and want to get away from the usual distractions and noise. It’s free and the restrooms are clean so that’s a nice aspect too.

Very interesting artwork with fun little interactive touches, it was a great spot for tourists.

Fairly small, total experience took less than 2 hours and we were taking our sweet time. There are some interesting activities that kids 5 and up could participate in. Writing in notebooks about the art is provided along with real typewriters and paper. Step by step instructions for use are also provided and you can keep what you type out! Interesting video/are piece on the second floor. Small coffee stand outside but we couldn't walk around with the coffee.

If you're in the area and have some time to kill, this is a great place to visit. It's a small museum so don't expect to get lost in here for hours, but there are some great exhibits. There are a few pieces outdoors as well to check out. For free admission and parking, you can't beat it. I visited on a weekend and there were only a few other visitors there.

I went to their 'To The Hoop' exhibition last November and really enjoyed with how well everything was laid out and how they were able to do so many artsy things with a basketball!! It was part modern commentary and unusual interpretations at the same time. A very interesting collection and can only imagine what their other exhibits must be like. Admission and parking is free so definitely must do if you're in town! Nothing to lose and you'll get to see some interesting art pieces!

Free to visit, so don't be shy! A small but very respectable exhibit space featuring some very nice exhibits. Can be explored quickly, so feel free to pay a quick visit just to see what's there.

North Carolina A&T offers an excellent learning environment. The campus is beautiful, and the staff are consistently supportive and helpful. I highly recommend this institution to anyone seeking quality education in a welcoming setting.

Visiting from Virginia! My daughter and were here for AAU Junior Olympics! Campus is beautiful…staff that helped during the events were AMAZING during these hot outdoor activities for the two days we’ve attended!

Out of the few dozen Colleges and Universities I've spent any amount of time on/at, NC A&T is amongst the top few. Great atmosphere, faculty/staff/support services that care and carry a positive vibe for the school. Bottom line, you're there because you WANT to be there, not because you settled. They have what counts and I see nothing but a positive forward direction.

I was really hopeful with all of the good reviews and I truly hope the academics will be different than their admissions process. Our son's status has yet to be updated and is still being considered out of state even though the RDS system has already classified him as in state. Financial aid told me not to get worked up about and sit on my hands and wait or to sign an award letter that is incorrect. Admissions is saying they have no idea when it will be updated. So, my option is to sign an award letter with incorrect information and hope they change it once the status is eventually updated or to not sign it and then be on the hook for $40K of out of state tuition when we live in NC and are an active duty military family. Customer service needs significant improvement. Knowing that orientation is June 5th and we have already paid an enrollment deposit, so we are out of luck and out of options. I hope his experience as a student is better than the way they treat the parents.

I was admitted to the university and received my acceptance letter about a week and a half before registration. I met with my advisor three days before registration began, received my PIN, and confirmed everything was in order. However, when I tried to register on the 19th (with the deadline being the 20th), the system wouldn’t let me—stating I wasn’t a student and needed to remit. I contacted admissions multiple times over the next week, but no one could help me. Everyone seemed confused and unsure. A week after registration closed, I called readmissions again, frustrated and ready to file a complaint. Only then was the issue resolved in under a minute. It turned out to be a simple fix that could have been handled much earlier. Due to this, I missed the deadline for Summer Session I. This was an incredibly frustrating experience caused by miscommunication and lack of support, and I hope the university addresses these issues moving forward.

I echo the sentiments of this person: "As an alumni and visiting student communication when dealing with various admin departments (registration helpdesk, accountant, etc.) are the worst. You are guaranteed to be transferred a million times, only to end back at point A! Sadly from 2002 to 2024 this hasn't changed!" -2025

A&T freshman orientation was off the chain. The campus is beautiful. ASL students were live and in charge! Excellent admin and staff throughout..

The Lake Brandt Marina is well maintained and a lovely place to visit for either a casual walk or sit down and for those into kayaking and boating. There is something different to see with every season. Quiet waters lapping at the edge of the lake.

In my opinion the best city reservoir in Greensboro. The wildlife is amazing. The only thing is the boat ramp is very sandy due to being adjacent to the kayak beach launch. The staff is very friendly. One day I got stuck at the boat ramp in the sand, and one of the ladies from the staff helped me dig my trailer out. Very grateful for the help and I will always remember that.

Another windy day today at Lake Brandt. Temps in the 70's. Can't wait to get out on the lake in the kayak /canoe to do some fishing.

First off, I need to note that kayaking here is NOT pet friendly. I have a service dog and they were more than happy to allow her in case I had a medical episode. The prices aren’t too bad, and staff was friendly. I had a great time and so did my service dog!

Staff are always friendly, plenty of things to do around the lake. I always enjoy the well maintained mountain bike and walking trails, the lake is also great for kayaking and paddle boarding!

It's so calming listening to the waves hit the shore and basking in the sun. Even though the water is kind of rough for canoes or kayaks, there are still people out there doing their thing. It's a glorious day. Thank you Jesus.

Nice nice nice. This place is pleasant surprise for greensboro. I like it. I think nice want to come again. The kayak rental was easy. I recommend paddle board as well very very fun. I wish they sold ice cream on shore tho oh well.

Fabulous! Packed full of all the normal stuff and so much more. Mostly good prices and awesome staff.

Great place to find things from your childhood you may have thought you would never see again.🥰

This place was packed with items from a ton of vendors. We spent about 3 hours there and could have spent more. It was definitely a place to go early and spend the day. We just kept finding more things. They have things for everyone. They also have a store dog, which just made the experience so much better. Definitely recommend for someone who enjoys antiques.

WOW!! This was my first experience antiquing and I am pleased to say I am very impressed. Such rich pieces of history and the American past were teeming with a tangible presence in this store. You can truly find anything here- from teacups to vinyl records to marbles to really niche works of literature. It was almost overwhelming and I am ashamed to admit I got lost once, but that only meant more time wandering, which was perfect. Don’t hesitate, just give it a shot!!!

The store itself is beautiful and full of amazing finds — definitely worth visiting for the antiques and unique pieces. I have been visiting this place a lot and would frequently go. However, the customer service left a really bad taste in my mouth. While we were there, the red-headed, curly-haired woman at the register was already being snarky to another customer, using a rude tone. I tried to brush it off, but when it came time for her to help us, she kept the same attitude. As my friend and I walked away, she even went as far as to mock me. It’s disappointing because the store is genuinely wonderful, but an employee’s bad temper can really ruin the experience. If you can’t treat customers respectfully, maybe it’s time to work on that before representing a business. Just saying if you can’t control your own attitude after having a bad interaction with a customer doesn’t mean you should lash out at the rest of them who didn’t even do anything. Go to Granddaddy's Antique Mall far better

Beautiful store! Very well laid out and clean and a great selection of different things. There’s a lot here so you can definitely spend some time looking at some cool stuff! Here are some of my favorites..

Fantastic. Take the whole day and bring your wallet. Gorgeous displays, curating, periods. Lots for the Arts and Crafts or Art Nouveau / Deco periods. Found a sweet L&JG Stickley tabouret. Nice MCM too. My favorite store so far in this region. Pricey? Maybe, but some negotiation possible. This place is a step up, but still affordable. Compared to modern furniture stores, you're getting history and beauty for a bargain.
