The 21 best views in Greensboro

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.

This was the second time I've been, both times in the winter months. I really love the aquarium and other indoor attractions but have missed the animals that are outside due to cold weather. It's great for kids of all ages as well as adults! I recommend visiting. We took our time and really soaked the indoor activities and spent about 2 hours. Add the outdoor stuff and you could easily spend 3 to 4 hours. The Cafe is not bad, quality and price was good.

Always a good time. The energy is always cozy. This park has been a place for my bloodline to come enjoy for decades! I wish they would add a few new things to do, more modern but we love it just the same!

​We recently had the pleasure of spending an afternoon at a Greensboro park (name not specified, but this review applies to several fantastic ones!). Honestly, I was blown away. This isn't just a park; it's a destination for the whole family. ​First off, the playground is simply fantastic. It's clean, well-maintained, and has a variety of equipment that kept the kids entertained for hours. It’s clear the city takes pride in its parks. The cleanliness extends to the entire grounds, which is a huge plus. ​Beyond the playground, the park is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. The walking trails are beautifully kept, offering a serene escape perfect for a peaceful stroll or a brisk walk. For those who prefer wheels, the biking trails are equally impressive, providing a great workout with scenic views. ​But what truly sets this park apart are the unique amenities. The pedal board rentals are a brilliant idea, adding a fun and active element to the experience. We had a blast gliding across the water. And you absolutely cannot miss the giant 5-person swing! It's an absolute must-do, providing endless laughter and a memorable photo op. ​This park is a testament to Greensboro's commitment to creating high-quality, community-focused spaces. It has something for everyone and is a perfect example of what a city park should be. We will definitely be back!

Great park, includes a dog run, lake with reasonably priced paddle boats that looked like rubber ducky and dragons (each accommodates up to 5 riders), a couple of nice playsets, and a walking path around the lake. It's down the hill from a Zipline that zigzags across the lake, an indoor carousel that opens at 10, and a science museum.

This gem is a great place for the while family, including dogs. There is a playground for younger folks, pedal boats, a zip line, dog parks (with a separate one for smaller dogs), picnic shelters (reservations recommended), fishing, a shaved ice stand, a large loop for walking or jogging, or bicycling, and a tram if you just want to ride and enjoy the view. Country Park is located adjacent to the national park for the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, where you can easily absorb some local history if you're in the mood, and to the Greensboro Science Center if you like wild animals, an amazing aquarium, and feel like walking in the treetops at Sky Wild.

Beautiful park, clean and peaceful environment, enjoyed seeing all the wildlife amongst the park area walking freely about.

This is the park that’s behind The Science Center on Lawndale. You can see the lake and the paddle boats from the parking lot. There’s also a pavilion which can be rented for parties and a zip line that goes across the lake. I went here for the Pooch a Mania event at the park. It was such a fun day for me and my dog. It’s definitely a popular area for walking, jogging or bike riding. And there are two fenced in dog parks there too. We will definitely be back for future events and just to walk and enjoy the park.

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.

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.

I came to the museum on Friday Sept 26th 2025 on a whim, after years of wanting to visit. God smiled on me and let me meet this champion for my Civil Rights. I'm eternally grateful for the life and legacy of Joan Mulholland

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 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).

It's a very nice place for a family walk and a well-fenced area for kids to play.

Park is beautiful. We had a great time with our 4 year old. First the playground was very unique, she loved it. Then we went over to the splash pad and of course she loved that! We ended our visit with a delicious strawberry ice cream cone and a little corn hole.

I attended the sunday Folk Festival that was a three days event. They started with a youth choir that was fantastic. They had other artists on the stage. There was seats and tables available. It was a beautiful gathering and I am glad I attended.

LeBauer Park is a standout downtown destination for families. It delivers well-crafted play features, impeccable maintenance, and a welcoming, engaging environment—all complemented by on-site food options and cultural proximity. Whether you’re chasing the soft pad sliders, letting little ones splash in the fountains, enjoying cushiony turf play zones, or simply relaxing nearby, it’s a well-rounded spot that balances fun, safety, and style beautifully.

Great time for my first Pride. I saw a lot of awesome people. Super supportive group of people and amazing music. Great bands.

This park is centrally located..has outdoor restaurants..children's area..gardens..outdoor venture...Dog Park..nice place to just sit and unwind!!

During the day, A lovely downtown park, some minimal but delicious eats, a decent little playground with some wear and tear, but good for your little ones to run around. During warmer months, the water fountain flows. It’s downtown, so there’s some people who wander that are not always family friendly, but during the day, all is well. There’s also a huge air-flowed sculpture, made from. Huge fiber net that flows in the wind, and this is quite unique! As the sun goes down, depending on the day, and if there’s a crowd at the Tanger Center, it can get crowded with a lot of people. But during the day, and especially weekdays, it’s a lot of fun!

Delightful, beautiful, almost magical. Why have I waited so long to visit!!

Great place to stroll with the kiddos, explore the alphabet path, the butterfly maze or the gardens. Perfect place for a picnic

The Gardens has an amazing collection of trees , plants and flowers in just 11 acres. Paved paths make it easy to walk through the various themed areas. Numerous metal sculptures, some with water effects provide additional interest. It was sad to see many specimen trees going into shock due to lack of water. Makes no sense.

Great roadside stop with charm and comfort, worth a visit! I loved this place and everything it had to offer. It’s a free, peaceful roadside stop, perfect for stretching your legs, using clean bathrooms, and taking a short walk through a cute garden. The walk itself probably takes about 20–30 minutes, but I stopped to take photos and ended up chatting with other visitors, so I spent close to an hour there. There are lots of quirky objects and displays scattered throughout the garden, which made it even more enjoyable. I went on a weekend and it wasn’t crowded at all, just a lovely, relaxing break.

Beautiful little park. Lots of cute sculptures and backgrounds. Very peaceful and fun environment.

A wonderful place to see lots of different plants and wildlife. I can't wait to see it in full bloom!

This Garden is more for people who wants a place to relax on the grass or kids to play in the kids garden. It's small with paved trail around the property. There are several entrances where you can walk in. A parking lot at the main entrance. I really like the children's garden. I have my pups with me and couldn't walk in to check it out. The children's Garden does not allow pets. Fortunately I was able to look in. It's the highlight of the Garden. The Fall Foliage is beautiful, and the ground workers are very friendly.

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.

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. ❤️

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.

Owner was super pleasant and very obviously knowledgeable about all of the pieces displayed. He’s very easy to talk to and all the pieces in the actual museum are amazingly beautiful. Definitely recommend for those who are visiting Greensboro or North Carolina in general— one of the best museums in NC!

Ambleside Gallery is an absolute gem in Greensboro! The moment you step inside, you're welcomed into a beautifully curated space filled with stunning artwork from both local and international artists. The atmosphere is peaceful and inspiring — perfect for anyone who appreciates fine art. Jackson , the gallery owner, is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, and he takes the time to share the stories behind the works, making the experience even more meaningful. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just exploring, this gallery is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

This is an amazing gallery! One of the most unique art collections I’ve seen. The gallery owner, Jackson, gave us a great impromptu tour and explained the background of various artwork and his personal connection with the artists. We had a great experience here.

Visiting Greensboro, we decided to stop and check out this gallery! We were welcomed in by the ownwer. This gallery is beautiful. The artwork is absolutely amazing! We really enjoyed our time there

Had an opportunity to go to Ambleside Gallery today and meet Jackson the owner and the "tour guide" for his gallery. This is a very pleasant gallery with many different art forms and something for virtually any taste. If you are looking for an original art work for that special place in your home this is definitely worth your time. I even looked at some beautiful stained glass lamps which I found very attractive. There was even an original William Mangum watercolor at a very reasonable price. I recommend you call ahead as Jackson may be on a buying trip. This is no admission charge but you may want to take your credit card to purchase that special item!

This was honestly one of the most unique and coolest galleries I’ve ever been too! The art pieces there were so captivating and different. Not to mention, the owner is one of the nicest people ever. He’s super friendly and very knowledgeable. Totally recommend checking it out even if art isn’t your jam!

I've been going to Ambleside periodically since 2006 at least. My family has started taking me when I was younger and I've continued going since. The owner is knowledgeable and kind. The art is sourced directly from local artists or from artists that the owner has a relationship with. Every piece in the gallery from the paintings, to any prints, to the sculptures, to any wood pieces is beautiful and well priced for the artists and the patrons. The gallery itself is gorgeous and well laid out. It also often hosts events so there's always something new to see.

Beautiful place. Lots of history. Great funny movie!

We went to Carolin Theatre for the movie GREASE sing along. As soon as we arrived we were in awe of the beauty of this theatre. It takes you back to the good ole days of live theatre shows. The architecture and layout of the building is beautiful and the theatre is grand upon entering. The tickets to this were inexpensive. They play old movies weekly during summer. This particular one had the words to the music on the screen and you could sing along to the songs. There were a lot of patrons and workers dressed I. Characters which made the experience 10x better. My 24 year old daughter had never seen GREASE and she love it! There is a private lot attached to the theatre as well as plenty of street parking. They have live events and bands throughout the year as well. It was definitely worth the ride from Winston Salem. Wish we lived closer to attend more shows here but definitely looking forward to coming more often.

Nice clean friendly. Alot of places to walk ,eat, shop before the show. Good parking .

A charming, almost 100 year old theater in downtown Greensboro. In addition to its beautiful interior and exterior, Carolina has extremely friendly and helpful staff, plenty of public parking within a stone's throw, clean restrooms, and comfortable seats. My wife and I attended an evening performance, and I hope to visit another event here soon.

Beautiful theater. Staff is so friendly, door prizes sometimes and popcorn. Play local things, classics, even silent with the in-house organ. Seats are comfy and the size is perfect...really no bad seats.

This was my first time to this venue and I was awe struck with its beauty! I don’t even know how to explain it but see the photos!!! I saw Natalie Grant and Bernie Herms there which was an absolutely amazing, intimate time of worship. The ushers were very friendly and accommodating. The restrooms were not only clean but also beautiful. There is a concession stand that was very popular but we did not partake. There is parking out front and a parking deck close by that has free parking after 6pm. Will most definitely be back for more shows and movies here!!!!

A beautiful, well maintained theater built in 1927. It lives up to its mission: Presenting Arts, Preserving History, Promoting Community. An inclusive venue that welcomes a variety of entertainment. We were fortunate enough to attend the Hopefest 4 Hunger fundraiser that featured dancers from 6 to 69 years old from all nationalities. Pictures are just a few of the groups performing

Super cool area for art, the Wednesdays night kids free art event was very crowded but still fun! The puppet exhibit was really cool to see before hand

If you haven't been to family night on Wednesdays from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. You're definitely missing out. It's a free event weekly and a great place for toddlers kids and family together to learn and express creativity with arts and crafts of all kinds.

I would recommend a visit to GreenHill to anyone. It's the place to connect with North Carolina art, no matter what your experience level. Lots of really fun and free events, artist talks, gallery openings, etc. If you have kids, they will love making art in the studios! If you are looking for locally handmade gifts, this is the place to go. You can easily spend hours here. There was a very cool interactive dance performance that was associated with a past exhibition at GreenHill. It was a really special night and one-of-a-kind. I'll attach some photos to this review!

Free gallery that always has great, innovative artists and artwork. At this facility there is an African American art gallery and a Native American gallery. Not big galleries, but always have nice, unique work.

Such a cool way to experience art in an accessible way - and the best place to find a local, artful souvenir.

The art studio for kids is lots of fun and we even made a new friend. Love the ability for them to explore different art forms and have it all at their disposal. The staff were friendly and very accommodating. It was very organized and a fun afternoon.

Lovely time at the Paperhand opening, beautiful and inspiring art.

Love going out to this park every time I’m in Greensboro for Costco since that’s the nearest option for me from Roanoke, VA. It’s such a nice place to hangout and chill with family and friends. Usually try to get a beverage or ice- cream from the nearby coffee shop. However restrooms are terribly dirty. I couldn’t for the life of me use the restroom here. If that was good it would’ve been 5 stars

I was there because there was a India Festival going on. They had a late start, but the location was nice. There was plenty of seating around. Restrooms was also available. This location is nice for strolling on a beautiful day

I like this park. It's really well-maintained their security is great there's little food stands. There's a great little green space in the middle. There are a lot of homeless people I think who are here just kind of watching but they don't cause any problems.

I spent last Sunday afternoon in the park with DJ Energizer. What a good time we had dancing and singing karaoke. A beautiful day with beautiful people!' In the park itself is very nice!'

Very nice place to go and relax just sit and feel your surroundings

Nice art exhibition and a lovely venue for a baby shower.

Lots of cool events happen here throughout the year, including the Friday drum circles! Love this park, but you have to be mindful of your surroundings at night.

Love going and walking this park!!! Always clean, pleasant, not crowded. Well taken care of.

Nice park and playground with a lot of covered picnic tables. It has a splash park with lots of tables and umbrellas. The only downside is its not in the greatest area. The Greensboro PD offers a course for kids 6 and under called safety town. It's really good and this is one of the locations.

Its a beautiful park. There's a splash pad and jungle gym, a beautiful pavilion, and at least 6 shelters. The shelters have electrical outlets available.

Love love love the splash park here!!! Its great for littles who may not be big enough to enjoy larger pools or the water park. Its clean, its fun and it is FREE!

This park is clean, spread out and the facilities are in great shape. Great park to bring kids for the afternoon and also covered pavillion with plenty of picnic tables to eat a meal with your family.

We had a church event there and it was nice, although there were holes that people were stepping in and could have gotten hurt

This is a very nice park. We sat on the lawn and listened to a SoulTrii performance. Had a great time.

There are some genuine national treasures in the paths winding through the woods behind the library. Trees that were too difficult to harvest in the ravines are survivors from the age when a squirrel could cross the entire continent without touching the ground. They are truly splendid and are worth the trip in themselves. There are great opportunities to spot wildlife along the miles of well-tended trails. Your dog wants you to go.

Great hiking trails which are fairly well marked. The bird and butterfly meadow is wonderful and has mowed paths for meandering through the meadow. There are also owl boxes and we have gotten to see many owls in the park!

Went to visit a greenhouse made out of plastic bottles, by the girl scouts, Impressive, great walk And the library, on the same grounds, has a section stocked by the Master Gardener's, for free seeds for those who live for dirt and all things that grow*** Exceptional Experience In a beautiful location*

Nice chill and never that library. They have glass recycling (which is rare in GSO), pathed, and wooded trails.

Nice walking trail with small serene creek. It is peaceful and quiet, other than the sounds from traffic. I brought my ESA cat who enjoyed seeing squirrels climb trees, the smells of nature, and chewing on grass. Cat-friendly, dog-friendly, clean.

Price Park has a nice variety of outdoor places to walk around and admire. Conveniently located in the heart of Greensboro, and a safe place for families to spend time together getting some fresh air! Photos by Brooke Grogan Photography.

A beautiful library nestled in a forested area with lots of nature walking trails surrounding it, a nice getaway for residents of Greensboro..

We went to Nailed It for a mother-daughter weekend and had a GREAT time! The owner recommended the best possible time for our appointment and had everything ready to go. There was enough room to work and enough materials. The help that was available made it easy to make crafting fun and we actually liked what we made! We now have a keepsake that we will actually use as home decor! I highly recommend these folks!

I had such a great experience at Nailed It DIY Studio! The atmosphere was super relaxed, and the owner was incredibly helpful every step of the way. I never felt rushed, and the guidance made it so easy to enjoy the process. I absolutely love how my project turned out—it turned out even better than I expected! I’ll definitely be back again soon. Highly recommend for a fun and rewarding DIY experience!

Nothing like a private event! The customer service was top-notch, the atmosphere was full of energy, and the ART-TENDERS? Valerie & Carl were absolutely amazing!! They show you the techniques in a way that’s fun, interactive, and far from boring. Definitely a night to remember! 10/10 and that’s coming from a tough critic

Our office team celebrated a birthday at Nailed It DIY in Greensboro. It was even more fun than I thought it would be. Stellar service and so many fun projects from which to choose that I am sure I will return. Great place for gifts. Great place for birthday celebrations. I highly recommend!

Valerie was super friendly and helpful. This place has such a relaxing environment! We went for my husband’s birthday 🎉 and was greatly impressed. I recommend this place for a mom’s night out or a homeschooling event. I’m a homeschooling mom, so this is the perfect place for a group of homeschoolers.

Absolutely an amazing experience!! I have had the pleasure of attending 3 events and will definitely go again. There are so many unique and amazing projects you can make, and they are always adding more. It’s a great opportunity to get together with friends or family for a couple hours of fun while making something awesome for yourself or as a gift. I HIGHLY recommend going to Nailed it DIY Greensboro!!!! I can’t wait to go again. Thank you Valerie. ❤️😁🙌🏻

This place is the best!!!! Looking for an activity to do with friends or for an occasion ? This is the place to go. The Owner is flexible , kind , entertaining, & amazing . (In the picture with me) she walks you through everything and you don’t have to know what you’re doing. The prices are fair and affordable. I loved the whole experience and will be back
