Top 50 things to do and attractions in Fayetteville

I’ve been here numerous times and I love it during the springtime. This time my husband wasn’t able to attend with us, but the baby loved the trees, flowers, green grass and the cute little family of ducks/geese that we saw today! It’s clean, well kept and beautiful. It’s one of the best places in Fayetteville. It doesn’t even feel like you’re in Fayetteville-it’s peaceful and there’s so many different types of plants, trees, and flowers. 10/10 recommend!

Very beautiful. I really like that there were very tall trees in a garden, lots of both well maintained and non maintained grounds. The loving pergola is majestic. Wish it had a better maintained surroundings because it's very beautifully made by both plants and people.

Very lovely botanical garden! Love that it is all outside and that you can take your time, at your own pace. Loved that they had trails that took you all over the grounds and down near the river. If you love being outside and being one with nature, then I would HIGHLY recommend coming here!! Would definitely be coming back next time I am in the area.

We went for the Halloween event and it was beautiful. We got lucky and the weather was absolutely perfect for walking around at night. They had thousands of lights and some really impressive decorations, especially the themed skeletons. Even though it was a little busy there was plenty of room to move through the gardens and enjoy all the extra activities they offered for kids to have a great time. I definitely will go back if they have a Christmas event and next Spring/summer to see the flowers and trees. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed the Halloween event.

Cape Fear Botanical Garden was the unexpected enchanted forest detour we didn’t know we needed after a long highway haul. Just minutes off the road and suddenly—you’re strolling through winding paths, towering trees, and fields that seem sprinkled with fairy dust (or maybe it was just all the butterflies fluttering around like tiny tour guides). If you’re looking to stretch your legs without the crowds and chaos, this place is pure magic. It’s quiet, calming, and full of surprises around every leafy corner. Bridges! Blooms! A gazebo that looks like it came from a storybook! Even the bathrooms were pristine—which, let’s be honest, is a rare and glorious find during a road trip with a toddler. So grateful we stopped. If we lived closer, we’d be back every weekend with walking shoes, snacks, and butterfly nets (for admiration only, of course). 🌿🦋

I had the opportunity to plan an event at CFBG. My clients and I worked with Brian Tyler. He was responsive to every need we had throughout the 14 month planning process for our mutual client. I would recommend this location to clients for future events and would be glad to work with Brian as well!

Fabulous gardens! Coming from Ohio I was in absolute heaven seeing all of the fearured plants/bushes/trees/etc!!! Kids can see frogs, fish and several other animals. I LOVE gardenias!

This place was exceptional. The gentlemen at the front entryway desk were fun to chat with, and John had some great insight into what's in the museum. The pathway to go around the exhibits was great. I suggest giving it a try. Just a side note on your information kiosk is missing a bronze star information on recipients.

great place, no charge, great immersive exhibits. i drove to this on my way home from SC to PA. worth the visit. Super-61's rotor head now rests here. RIP to those men lost that day

🇺🇸🦅ALL gave some 🙏 Some gave ALL🇺🇸🦅 We live in the greatest country of all! The US of A has done more than the entire rest of the world has ever done for other countries and I never forget that my freedoms are not free!

Another of the large museums. Be aware, there are two (special operations) museums one on the base property and one in downtown Fayetteville. Be aware of this sleek programming your GPS. This review is the down town location. Very nice atrium with both a WW2 and a modern paratrooper decending from the overhead. The displays are large and well separated. Since airborne didn't use much armor or other mechanized transport there is a definite lack of such in the museum but it's 100% understandable. The gift shop seemed a bit small and the selection limited. I only found one fridge magnet 🧲 luckily it's one I would have selected anyway. I still rated it a full five stars due to the wonderful use of full size dioramas.

Why did I wait 35 years to visit? It's a great place for families, very informative, well organized and extremely affordable, FREE! ♥️ (Donations are accepted.)

Impressive place, great museum. Really worth visitng. The museum presents hstory of the Airborne troops since its beginning until present times. Very interesting exhibition, including authentic, historical items. It will take some time to visit the museum. It's huge (looks smaller from the outside).

I have visited the Airborne & Special Operations Museum many times over the years and it never disappoints. They always maintain the displays in this museum so well and clean. Even though the museum is free of charge, they do have 2 donation bins, so please make sure you donate if you're able too... So if you ever find yourself in Fayetteville, North Carolina and you're looking for something to do. Pay a visit to the Airborne & Special Operations Museum to make memories, meanwhile learning of the sacrifices our soldiers have endured and their achievements. At this beautiful museum full of Airborne & Special Operations military history. Thanks to the Staff and Museum employees, that do such an amazing job maintaining such a great museum.

Very nicely kept. Full of exhibits to commemorate veterans of all wars.

Such an awesome site to behold.

Beautiful space. Great place to meditate, go for a walk, read a book, do homework, etc… There is actually a small outside area for possible awards presentation, or reenlistment/retirement ceremony.

Amazing place to remember all that veterans do for our country beautiful park in the great scenery

Me and my wife had an awesome time here. It is great to always honor those who gave up their lives for ours. This place is so magnificient that I would recommend anyone to go. The whole museum has been restored and it's brand new. Definitely planning on going back.

Take a break from your busy day or long travels and visit here. A lot of insight and background. Great for short walk to view dedication and courage. Don't skip both sides of parking lot. Parking is in the middle There's a small area across the street but didn't visit that area this time. Some water fountains were down due to Covid. We arrived after 4- when the shop closes. See pics

The memorials under construction but still rather impressive for the artwork. Visitor Center was closed despite the sign saying otherwise but you were able to see the fallen soldier table in the corner and able to get some good pictures if you tried hard enough

This was an awesome experience. Touring this house is free. We had such a fun and interesting time. Ruth was our tour guide and she was awesome and very engaging. She made it very interesting with lots of stories about the family. The house was restored well and includes lots of furniture and memorabilia from the Poe family. Yours are at 1pm, 2 and 3. You meet in the nearby Cape Fear Museum to meet your tour guide. There is parking available there.

I've heard of the Poe house but never stepped foot inside. I can't believe what I've been missing this whole time! It was a wonderful experience and felt like going back in time. The tour guide was very knowledgeable in the history of the family. They do tours on every hour and it's free and lasted about an hour.

Our tour guide Jennifer was fantastic. This home has beautiful wood work throughout every room. Take your time to look at the paintings and photographs to glimpse the turn of a century. We will definitely be back with friends for the October reenactment performances.

Stephanie was a great guide! Very informative. Enjoyed the architecture of the home and the details inside with renovations. Easily takes you back to the time period of the Poe family. Enjoyed the free guided tour which lasted roughly 45 minutes.

Great experience. It's not connected to the author Poe. This one is a local man with a great story.

Pretty neat! Tour guide was so nice! And it was free. They have tours starting at 12pm, 1pm, and 3pm, although Google Maps says they close at 3pm.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Very interesting history, house nicely restore, and well kept. Thank you for sharing with us. 👍

The Musical 9 to 5 is a must see! Fantastic show! The actress who played Dolly Parton she looked and sounded just like her. All the ushers and staff were very polite. The actors and actress’s were incredible. I could understand every word they spoke. This the first time I have seen a play at the Holiday Inn hotel. The only thing that I would say could improve is the air conditioning. It was a bit warm where I was sitting. Several of us were using book (fanning) to cool us down. Hope the actors and actresses weren’t affected by the A/C. The prices have gone up , but worth every penny. Thinking of buying the flex pass.

Awesome place that Fayetteville is so blessed to have, for many years now! Hasn't lost a step over the years either! Just EXCELLENCE! Kudos Mary Kate & team!

Just saw this production tonight & it was truly an unexpectedly amazing experience. Honestly better than any Off-Broadway production I’ve ever seen. Even better than some actual Broadway shows. From staging, costumes, set, lights, sound, acting & singing? They didn’t miss a beat. The ushers & concession were friendly & welcoming. I might come back to see it again. Alexis Tidwell & Joshua Walker?? The entire cast was perfect.

The show was outstanding. There was never a dull moment. We really enjoyed it. My wife was joined by her Delta sigma theta Group

Couldn’t be prouder of our incredible theater. Thankful to have grown up attending shows and to be able to bring my kids here to share in the wonder. Have never been disappointed in the level of talent, the quality of the production or the passion for the arts that everyone involved has. We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful place.

Myself and my friend went to see Little Shop Of Horrors and it was amazing!!!!! The cast was amazing! I could not stop smiling, the acting and singing was great! Seymour was my favorite.

Show was great, as was staging, lighting. Have seen Littke Shop many times, from high school productions, regional theater, Broadway with Jonathan Groff. This was a great show. Actors were so very talented

Very nice baseball park. It is nestled in a college. Parking is on campus business. Easy to get to, nice people at the gate who were very helpful. The merchandise was very well set up. Little expensive but isn’t everything now. They had beer, seltzer, regular drinks and ice cream. The food was respectfully priced. Nice organized field. Players were quite young. I don’t think any of them were older than 22. Crazy! Sit right beside a railroad track, so we heard a train a few times.

What an amazing hometown experience! Pro; - super cheap tickets for the exact same MLB feeling - great baseball - amazing stadium (all seats are great) - great drink and food options - kids play ground (free, just fill online waiver on the spot) - clean bathrooms - Not overcrowded Con: ‐ parking (not bad but depending on the game and time can get hard to find a spot) Overall cheap and fun night and when kid got bored just take him to the kid park!

I came to a game with my service dog- I was extremely impressed with how well trained the staff was. They asked questions to confirm my service dog was legitimate, which is within their legal right. But they were very professional when asking and immediately made me feel comfortable and welcome after answering. Always thankful for places that educate their employees on service dogs to make the world more accessible for us.

My husband and my son went to the diamond club baseball camp with Bernie Carbo! I had visited and it was a beautiful stadium and small town feel of restaurants and shops

I enjoy going to Segra Stadium to watch the Woodpeckers play! Sometimes they have themed events like the Barbie game on May 4.

Overpriced, understaffed. Campy experiences. Used to be charming. Now just feels cheap.

Loved it! Travelled from Liverpool England. Went on a Saturday to see the Woodpeckers go 2-0 up against the River Dogs. Got a Jake Meyers bobblehead figure for being one of the first 1000 through the gates. Was that good had to take the kids on the Sunday and all got to see the 3-0 whitewash. Great experience for families. Nice people everywhere especially the lady in the ticket office who was amazing and made us feel really welcome.

Beautiful, well maintained trail system. You could probably get 1-2 miles in. Very cool wood boardwalk with overlook of the creek. Two excellent playgrounds. One playground is completely fenced in which makes it safer! It’s also shaded which is perfect for the hot summers. Only downside is the trail runs along a highway so it can be pretty noisy.

The pool area was so nice to visit! I loved that the life guards made everyone take breaks from the water so they themselves could take a breather and cool down. Fantastic operation. Great for the kids, big and small with slides for each.

Good and quiet place. But the bathrooms are not clean. Overall good

The Sensory Walk event we attended today was Spectacular! I was highly impressed with this free event. We participated in a Thankful Tree, a nature themed Storytime, and very educational nature walk. Our guide was very knowledgeable and very helpful, the park was clean, and had such a diverse collection of trees and plants to notice and observe. 10/10

I love this park has baseball fields, trails, bathrooms are handicap accessible. Volleyball..They also have pool with slides. on the other side of the road they also have the lake with two docs for fishing. Great park for the family.

Great place for family outdoor/barbecue/games and walking trail.

This was my second trip to the park and so far, I've found it to be clean and well-maintained. The walkways are free of pet waste, though there is some garbage to be found in the weekend areas. For the most part, it's quiet and people are very respectful. I haven't encountered a single dog off-leash, which is nice. The scenery is beautiful, but definitely watch out for that poison ivy!

Clean nice nature walk with slight inclines. Vert good area.

My dogs loved this place. Now it’s just one dog but great memories

The trail is beautiful. I walked the entire trail from the beginning to the end, and it was a long trail with many bridges crossing the Cape Fear River. If you're ever in Fayetteville, North Carolina, this is 1 of the best parks to do hike on with a lot of history shown and a nature center a quarter of mile into the trail.

Great part for a nice hike or bike ride!

It's beautiful but even though there are free dog bags they still don't pick up after their dogs so you see dog poo everywhere.

Love taking long walks in the park here! We absolutely love to visit the nature center as well!

The trail itself is well done, several amazing engineering feats. if you are in the area it is 6.97 one way, the views are excellent when by the river and a mountain bike trail weaves back and forth across it.

Beautiful. Very quiet place. Lots of parking. Nice walking trails and biking trails as well. Come and enjoy some time together just for a simple walk. No rush. No hassle. No bustle. Just plain simple and nice. Relax.

It’s a lovely park here in Fayetteville. There’s a cute waterfall, which is best viewed after a good rain. Based on some research I’m done, it’s supposedly the tallest waterfall this side of the Piedmont. The trails are very nice and well maintained. It can get very busy on weekends.

So many things to see. We spent 2 hours and still didn't see everything. We definitely enjoyed the story along the trail.

Great trail for running, almost 15 miles long and we'll shaded. Restrooms and drinking fountains are scarce, so be sure to bring your own water!

Awesome local trail. The pictures posted here dont do it justice. (07/08/25) I’m on the trail a bit later than usual today, so the office is closed. Trying to inform people that there is a female box turtle possibly laying eggs close to the paved trail. Stay vigilant!

The best place downtown!! Gorgeous 😍 Well maintained. Nature center is amazing 👏🏻

This is a lovely park! The only thing to note is the sewer smell, but you'll get used to it after a while. We enjoyed some fun moments on the trail and at the nature center.

A most excellent venue for a movie and show going experience. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. There are great "Fourth Friday" events that show classic films for any season. My family and I are happy to support The Cameo!

The show was a fun event with comically dramatic presentations of some of Poe's works paired with chillingly tasty cocktails. Mocktails were also available for those not wanting alcohol.

Tonight’s Edgar Allan Poe! He is my favorite writer and OMFG! Please know, these actors and not just actors, 5 people put this production into effect! These guys did the most Amazing job! Do not tell them, I would have paid double!

SOO much fun! Went to the Edgar Allan Poe speakeasy event!! I can't say enough about it. Super entertaining & friendly cast and crew. The drinks? Delicious!!!! I need the recipe for "The Cat's Meow" STAT haha. Poe lovers will be delighted. The creative liberties taken were flawlessly done so that none of the source material was neglected, only improved in a modern way such that the stories held even more resonance. I walked away appreciating even more how much of an agonizing, passionate artist Poe was & how much his sense of the gothic and macabre holds up as beautiful & haunting. Fantastic acting that conveyed his torture & love. I'm so hype for their other shows coming out. If you get the chance fellow lit lovers, this was so fun. Only complaint is that I would've enjoyed it being doubly as long!

Best movie theatre experience I’ve ever had. Very intimate and classy vibe. Always playing great movies. Staff is very approachable and friendly. I recommend this place to all my friends and family who visit Fayetteville.

I love this little family owned theater 🎥! Beautiful renovation work and look forward to our next show.

Cameo is the best part about Fayetteville tbh. Very grateful that they are willing to show the “smaller”, indie films that the larger chain theaters in the city aren’t able to offer. Love that they also provide opportunities to see older classics on the big screen and host other artsy events. The historical building on Hay Street is simply a precious gem. So cute! 🥺

This museum was well maintained and enjoyable. It was very informative. When we visited, there was an exhibit commemorating the 200th anniversary of the Marquis de Lafayette's visit to Fayetteville, NC.

Great place on the heart of Fayetteville. Steeped in time gone by antiques the Poe House is nothing short of a trip back in time. My grandchildren loved it and the museum. Do get there and see the best of what this city has to offer first hand!

We had a great time at the museum! There is a parking lot available. Right now there is a display of drawings rendered from very small pictures of black members of a regiment and a researched history of each. It was very interesting to read and is there thru July. There is also a display about the native Americans. There is a really cool canoe. Next door is the Poe House which is really fun to tour as well.

We really enjoyed our visit. There is a tour for the restored Victorian home. That's the only way to visit the house. Definitely recommend it Also, they decorated for the holidays.

We found it by chance. Great experience, very nice staff

Great local museum with friendly volunteers. I enjoyed the building and can tell that the local historical society puts a lot of work into the place. Definitely recommend if you're interested in local Fayetteville history.

Really enjoyed my second tour, this time at Christmas! It's a free and interesting walk back in time. Amazing antiques and Poe family history described by knowledgeable tour guide.

We did the Waterfall Expedition, and it was amazing! My husband and I had never been ziplining before. Lauren and Roman were funny, patient, and made us feel safe. The fall views were so beautiful, we’re already planning to come back for the Night Quest. Highly recommend! You’ll wish you could stay up there longer!

We went here for a little Sunday funday and we had a blast! The place was nice and empty--we got our own tour. The tour guides had lots of cheesy tree jokes and will not hesitate to call you by the nicknames you give each other. Such a fun experience and we will definitely be back!

10/10 recommend. The staff was very informative and took their time to make sure that everyone understood how to be safe yet also have fun. We had Jasmine and Roman as our guide yesterday and I can’t say enough good things about them, excellent job. We were lucky enough to be slotted in a time frame where it was just me and Noodle 😂 however instead of moving things along quickly the guides took their time and let us enjoy the scenery! Again, thanks to the ZipQuest team and highly recommend! -Mug

Spent the afternoon with my girlfriend here and we absolutely loved it. It was even better that we were the only 2 on the tour. Our guides were amazing and made it very entertaining throughout our experience. We will most definitely be coming back in the fall to see nature change colors while enjoying the zips.

I have a fear of heights, so signing up for the zip line for the first time was pretty hard to do. But because of our incredible tour guides Roman and Greg, I was able to completely enjoy the experience despite my fear! Not only did they make sure we felt safe in the gear, they continuously ensured we felt comfortable. Through out the course they were so knowledgeable in explaining the history of the area. Also I feel they could sense when we started getting nervous, because that’s when the “dad jokes” started, which had us distracted from the heights and laughing! Iam so thankful we had guides like these two to make it an incredible experience!!

As a first timer, this was a very positive experience! Candidly speaking, I chose it because it was an hour away from my house and the draw of the Waterfall Expedition. Due to a large group coming in, I was contacted several days before asking if it was okay if we started at 11:30AM, which was alright with my group. Our initial group was 7 people (2 people left in the middle of the course) which felt right when we were gathered on the platforms between ziplines. Our equipment (from my what experienced friends told me) was both lightweight and durable. From the very beginning, our guides Roman and Ella made us feel comfortable from the trial zipline to the very end; their clear explanations removed any mystery so that by the time I was ready to zip, there were no surprises. Safety was constantly a priority. Whereas I started out thinking, "Just this ONE time," I changed my tune by the time we got to the end of the course.

This was so fun. We did the treetop and waterfall experience and it was awesome. Staff were helpful, knowledgeable, and super funny. Our guides were cracking jokes and telling us fun facts the whole time while also ensuring our safety and comfortability with everything. I have a fear of heights and the tour guides were so nice and made my time very special. I definitely recommend coming here for a few hours to see fun things and go zip-lining. My husband and I had a great time. Thanks ZipQuest for the memories! We will be back for a nighttime tour soon!

Beautiful park by the water edge, but other parts look abandoned. The only walking trail is not marked and it is not on a loop. Do not advise women to walk the trail alone. There is a pier from which one can fish.

Big park with a variety of spots. I needed peace and a place to read. I found that near a spot by the lake. I hear the walking tracks are great and I hope to hike them soon. There also are play areas for children and places to fish. Something for everyone.

Beautiful scenery during the different seasons. Nice and easy trail to walk with pet or kids. Bathrooms available but needs to be cleaner.

If you’re looking for fresh air and a quiet spot away from the noise of Fayetteville, this is the perfect place. You don’t have to walk far just park and walk about 100 feet to get here. However, there aren’t many picnic tables and chairs available, so it’s best to bring your own foldable ones.

I went to play disk golf. Super long course. Lots of variations in holes. The short ones are deceivingly harder than the long ones. I have to say, while I truly appreciate the public park systems, they really need to put up a course map! It took a while to find the first hole and we got turned around a few times trying to find the next holes. I went with my sons and grandson, and we had a very good time. If your throwing, look twice. The walking trails are incorporated into and through the golf course. Lots of people walking around. And a few people walking thought they found a disk just laying there and tried to pick it up. So keep watch. While playing, I did notice a few covered areas with grills, a nice looking playground and outbuildings I assume are restrooms. Go play! And play to have fun!

Playground is great, it's in a really pretty location, nestled among the pines. People at the park were friendly and courteous. The only downside was the lack places to sit while your child plays. There are a few picnic tables but some are pretty far from the playground.

I love it here been going since a child. The trail is my favorite place to relax

We went in the weekend and it was actually pretty quiet here. Two nice play area for kids! Some trails, disc golf, and sports fields!

Off the road a bit, has a beautiful baseball field. Portable toilets are available but I do miss when toilets where clean and in all the parks. Feels more like you are in the woods then a park but that is nice as well. Tons of shade with the trees and lots of parking.

We had an amazing time on the walking trails down by the river. We seen all kinds of animal trails and tracks. Lots of boats going up and down the river. Very peaceful and easy to do hike even with two kids. After we walked up to the playgrounds and there was plenty for the kids to do while i sat and rested. While i rested i was able to catch the better part of a baseball game at one of the fields right by the play ground area. We will definitely be going back!

Great family park with a lot of activities to include tails for walking, running, playgrounds, sport fields, open fields, disk gold and many community events. We especially enjoy bringing our doors here with our kids in the morning on the weekends. Near Fayetteville and the surrounding area!

This is a pretty great park for walking your dog or just taking a bit of a hike if you prefer your trails to be more natural and less cultivated. There are no signs or sidewalks or anything else. These are trails in the woods. Many split into other trails, a lot deadend at heavy undergrowth. Logs and fallen trees will block your path and you'll find yourself ducking through low branches a lot. Many of the trails can be fairly steep. It's great and a good place to get back to nature. Highly recommended so long as you don't expect curated walkways. You do get the odd bench here and there, though.

Website says first come.come sever for pavilion areas. We found one with an not updated schedule to let us know if it was reserved so we started using it. About 30 min later, another party shown up saying they have paid for the time slot. They were nice enough to share, thankfully since other areas were taken. The number for the area also didn't match the schedule in the box. Other then this, the people and area is nice. Very shaded for nice log walks and play for children.

Had my baby shower here it was 45$ to rent the picnic area. 8 tables and very well shaded, plenty of stuff for everyone to do. Didn’t get hassled the whole time. The grill was large too. Great experience!

Typical Italian restaurant. We came here for Father's day dinner. Service and food is about 3 stars compared to fine dining in Houston area. My bison ordered as medium rare came out medium well. Probably because the cut was thin, hence chewey. Other dishes were fine.

We had dinner at Luigi’s Italian Chop House and Bar recently and overall had a pleasant experience. I ordered the NY strip with risotto, and my wife had the porterhouse served over a bed of potatoes. Both dishes were cooked well and tasted good, though nothing particularly stood out as exceptional. The flavors were solid, just not memorable. Service was decent not bad, but not especially warm or attentive either. It felt a bit routine, like she was just going through the motions. That said, the atmosphere was nice and the portions were generous. While it didn’t completely blow us away, Luigi’s delivered a satisfying meal and we'd consider coming back to try something different on the menu.

Had reservations for 7 people so that was helpful not to wait. Food was delicious, staff friendly and nice atmosphere. Had lasagna, pasta purses with 2 meatballs, pork chop with parmesan crust, spaghetti with meat sauce, fettuccine alfredo with grilled chicken and cheese ravioli. The bread they bring out to the table was really good. Had an appetizer of Italian sausage with peppers & onions and a tomato type sauce. Really good. All the food was good, pork chop was tender and juicy, garlic mashed potatoes were great, pasta purses were as good as advertised but the standout was the creamy Alfredo sauce. One of the best I've tried. They should do a sample entree with a little serving of 3 different entrees. Luckily our party had 7 people so we got to sample lots of entrees at once. The staff signed an anniversary card for my in-laws, nice touch.

Recommended by a friend, they did not disappoint. Our waiter, Wendell, he was excellent. My friend stated “you don’t find service like this anymore” he was pleasant and attentive. The food was excellent. I definitely recommend Luigi’s.

We had an amazing dining experience!!! We were visiting from out-of-state and looking for a restaurant to dine with family while staying in the area and spend some quality time. Luigi’s delivered tenfold, with wonderful ambiance to the stellar food & drinks. The star of the show though was Randi - she was on point from recommendations to her incredible personality!!! We never felt rushed and could enjoy our company yet she never missed a beat being there for whatever was needed. We dine out often in some fabulous establishments and this was top 5 - well done Randi & Luigi’s all! (Should have taken more pics but we were enjoying the company)

We stopped at Luigi’s Italian Chophouse and Bar during our road trip, and it was absolutely amazing! The food was delicious, truly homemade and full of authentic flavor. The atmosphere was cozy and elegant, and the place had such a warm, inviting vibe. The service was outstanding, professional, friendly, and attentive. We felt so welcomed and taken care of. Thank you to the whole team for this wonderful dining experience, everything was just perfect! Highly recommended!

Our server, Liz, is the reason I’m leaving a five-star review. She was not only attentive but also gave spot-on recommendations. Her hospitality is truly top-tier, and I’m so glad we had the chance to be in her section. I’ll definitely be coming back and requesting her again! Now on to the food—absolutely delicious. I had the ribeye, and it was seasoned and cooked to perfection. I’ve been to Florence, Italy, and have had Tuscan-style steak there, and this meal genuinely transported me back. Just amazing all around. I’d recommend this restaurant to everyone I know, and I’ll definitely be returning myself. Thank you for keeping such a high standard for both food and hospitality.

Very nice people. This place is small, and the building is old, but its a great place for children under 10! Some buttons are out of order but everything is interactive and great for imagination!

A great place for young kids to imagine and play. Lots of themed play areas with great decorations. While some of the buttons were non responsive, my 2 toddlers had a great time.

Fascinate-U Children's Museum is in the heart of downtown Fayetteville. Upon arrival there’s not much parking so I’d suggest going in non peak times. The parking was also paid. $1 per hour, with an off-street max of $5/day. Parking is free on Weekends and City Holidays. Admission: $3.00 Adults $4.00 Children. There’s a place to put your strollers and backpacks and then you can jump right into playing and learning. It’s really good for little kids that are into imagination play and I think it seems it may age out at age 10. They also have a toddler room also for the little ones. We spent about 2 hours here and the kiddos had a blast.

If you have ever been to Marbles in Raleigh, this is likebthe lite version of it. Pro: - accessible and close - cheap ( $5 per kid) - loads of different activities Con: - alot of broken missing and missing pieces - needs a deep clean BAD (my allergies were kicking up bad at certain points) - small (only one floor) and everything is on top of each other It is not a bad weekend getaway close to home for toddlers. Would not recommend if your kid is 7 or over. They will get bored quick.

This is such a wonderful place for kids to come and enjoy all sorts of fun activities. We could honestly be busy for hours and my son wouldn't get tired of it. We also enjoy the craft projects offered throughout the month. My son doesn't always sit still for them but it's nice that he can go off and play if he gets fidgety.

Not crowded, decent variety of toys. Most of the exhibits had broken parts, sticky paint and dirty surfaces. Not much has changed in the 10 years since I’ve been here. Admission for an adult and child was $7 total, which is a steal. I would prefer that they charged a few extra dollars and did some renovation.

Great place to go on a Saturday to get the kids out of the house Super fun and engaging playrooms and even great for toddlers!

Willie lynch would approve of this, I don’t know anybody else who thinks this is a nice piece of history. A disgraceful blow to the black community. The audacity for this to still stand represents the economical standard held till this day by Fayetteville, NC.

Considering the painful history this architecture represents, this building shouldn't continue to be in the heart of Fayetteville. Let's build a proper museum and place this building inside. It may seem a bit overboard, but it's painful to see when visiting downtown.

Open to the public. The Latin dancers from nextdoor at Volta Space have been using this space for classes and social dancing lately. Fun times.

Really nice historical spot located in the middle of downtown, at night it is quite a site to see with colorful lights shining on it for everyone to admire. There is even a museum on the 2nd floor to enjoy during certain times, come on by and check it out for yourself.

This is a piece of history that I'm truly delighted I was able to touch, to feel. I wish there was a way to go inside and perhaps read material on this market house, yet, the door was locked.

This place in mentioned by former slave Sarah Louise Augustus in "My Folks Don't Want Me to Talk About Slavery" by Belinda Humerence. It took me a minute to find the location on the map, as I hadn't realized it was actually still standing. They should absolutely keep this piece of history up for the sake of telling the stories of the souls who went through the atrocities of its' time

I had a friend visiting for the 4th of July holiday. He walked through downtown Fayetteville and visited the Market House.

We went to see the Murder on the Orient Express and we were very impressed! The acting crew was phenomenal, the Live music was great. We loved the venue and can't say enough about SweatTea Shakespeare and their shows!!!

Saw "Little Women" -- it was fine. Community theater is a great outlet for theater kids and former theater kids. Otherwise, they might become mimes or seek validation in even more destructive ways. Was it cringey sometimes? Very. But the actors were usually in on the joke. Props to STS for keeping these drama nerds off the streets.

I have been a fan of Sweet Tea Shakepeare since I became aware of it's existence in 2016. Since that time I have attended many shows and each one was a delight. Community theatre enriches those who take advantage of the opportunity. If you have never seen Shakespeare performed live you must! 99.8% of the dialog is perfectly understandable and his wit and wisdom will edify any and all who drink from his endless font. Go! Today!

With limited props, they put on a professional level performance. I watched Sweeney Todd and it was a better than perfect performance from everyone. You definitely all rocked the part at mental asylum. There could not have been a more perfect Mrs Lovett!! Beggar woman, you were hilarious! Johanna wow, those high notes and paired with Anthony, partnered well. Sweeney and judge outstanding!! The voice quality and believability of the whole thing just blew me away! All other participants in the show, stage hands, and the restaurant were awesome, just awesome. Great job! Thank you

5 stars for the acting: lines were delivered with gusto. Unlike reading Shakespeare: experiencing Shakespeare is exhilarating! My wife found the venue at UUFR to be too warm, but that’s not the troupe’s fault.

We really enjoyed last night's show! Very entertaining with a great group of talent. The perfect weather may have helped, but this outweighs watching TV any day!! Special thanks to Nate for the invite.

Absolutely loved last night’s show! It was Othellit at Dirtbag Ales Farmers’ Market. The cast were so welcoming, I honestly felt as if I had known them all prior to the show. The pricing of tickets was extremely fair. I will definitely make an effort to see them again.

Beautiful! The rose garden is beautiful. The roses are well cared for, and the garden is beautifully designed. The roses are beautiful. My husband and I really enjoyed our visit.

Beautiful location, so many vibrant and vivid coloring of roses. A refreshing, captivating rose garden that is truly coning to life! Come smell the flowers!! I am told people often come here for photos of all types. I believe the roses generally bloom late spring to early autumn.

Nice little peaceful garden. The fountain wasn't filled and turned on when we visited. I'm sure that would have been beautiful to behold. It was a very good experience nonetheless. So many beautiful flowers everywhere!

Free to walk around and has benches available to sit and relax amongst nature. Very pretty flowers blooming. On the edge of the campus of the technical college.

Great place for photos and picnics with the family. Free to enjoy. Was quiet, well kept, clean, and easy to park.

Very nice little rose garden! It is fun to see how the names of the rose match the rose. It was interesting to see which varieties did well at this location and which ones didn't.

Cute little rose garden. Stopped by to do a mini photo shoot. Although there's plenty of rose hushes, the white pergolas were no longer there. So, if going by to get some pics note they're not there anymore. Maybe it's temporarily down for repairs. But the fountain was up and running .

Visited here for Disney on Ice this past weekend. The parking was free which is good. The signage was good. The down fall was that there were clear directions not to bring in bags unless clear or see through and many people were allowed to bring in large bags. The bathrooms were clean. The lines for the bathroom were very long thankfully we had access to the ground level due to our seating. The food choices were not that immense but it was ok. The show itself was good. But the rink was a little small.

Went to the Cross Creek early college graduation on May 20th. Crappy entrance staff/security that will surround you, bombard you with questions, and presume you’re a violent threat to their facility for bringing a professional camera to a GRADUATION CEREMONY. It’s not a weapon, it’s not a firearm. Our society has made it so that people in even slight positions of authority treat everyone like a criminal until they feel like you’re not. They nearly made me miss my brother’s name being called holding me up at security over a camera bag with nothing harmful or deadly in it. There is nothing that says “no bags allowed” at the door. There is a sign that says “no backpacks allowed”, which are two distinctly different things. My bag wasn’t big at all. It is not Madison Square Garden, we’re not in a big city. There’s no constant threat of terrorism, we live in Fayetteville. There is no need to suspect terrorism or malice when someone has a camera. There is surely nothing unusual about a man bringing a camera to a high school graduation ceremony, it’s ridiculous and silly.

Attended a Marksmen hockey game in the venue. Nice arena, has all the required vendors to enjoy an event. Plentiful parking and easy entry and exits. Drinks are a bit pricey.

Saw Disney on Ice at the Crown. It was an excellent show and the special effects were very good as well. It was easy getting in and out of the parking lot as well as in and out of the theater itself. If you love Disney, you should definitely go see Disney on Ice! You'll be glad you did. Fun for the whole family.

We had a graduation for my nephew.This was supposed to to be an exciting and grand event. As my entire family is walking down the stairs to auditorium doors the security gentleman by the name of Rodney W is yelling at the top of his lungs at adults like we are 10 years old. Screaming to turn around bc of lays in our hand. Then proceeds to scream at many others about purses LET ME SEE your PURSE. I must say this was a very unpleasant experience here in Fayetteville NC and they should be ashamed to allow a grown man to disrespect the graduates families the way he did. Not professional and extremely rude at the least Let’s do better !! It’s a graduation and celebration and this employee has made the experience of myself and others non pleasant !

The crown is well sat up for many events. It is always well ran. I’m wondering who hired this MC for today’s event. Oh good golly. We attended the Champions in Motion event. The man who ran the event is a real entertainer. He tosses out free stuff. He sings songs in between the events. He tells his own jokes. It is nice because trying to get crowd involvement at this type of event can be tough (we were there for the small children). But it sort of turns into the “MC look at me show”. I can say he is positive. The sound system is great because you can not talk to your neighbor.

Went and watched A day to Remember, I Prevail and Beartooth here, what an amazing show. The venue was great, the staff got everybody in quick and had everything well organized. Getting out didn't take as long as I thought. Awesome experience

Airborne all the way Airborne driving on, driving on! Truely a morale assett to the division garrison life....but you rarely see actual active duty paratroopers there. It was National Airborne Day 2025, August 16th and nothing special was underway upon an afternoon arrival. There were two WWII renactors....or waa it three? In an OD canvas tent outside the museum baking in the sun. Great historical museum and artifacts. Keep it open!

We have visited this museum multiple times during our time at Fort Liberty and it’s a favorite place for us to bring family when they come to visit. Very clean place, lots to read and look at inside. A theater to watch a documentary on the subject and a nicely stocked gift shop. There’s also plenty to look at outside the museum.

Was in the area and checked out this musuem. Straightforward to get on base and musuem was great. Also checked out the JFK Special Forces Musuem that was on the way to 82nd musuem. Recommend both.

A great experience! Loved all the outdoor static displays.

Our first trip to Ft Bragg's museums while visiting our daughter and son in law stationed there. I must say this old Soldier was very impressed. Highly recommended.

Really needs more to be added. There are SO many opportunities for Excellent displays that show the 82d trials and tough periods. FOB Airborne, the founding of FOB Shank...So many missed opportunities. There is lots of unused space in the museum- more can be added. The displays are pretty basic, and mostly talk about equipment. Well, isn't it the Dedicated Soldiers who really deserve some recognition?

Small but informative Museum about the contributions of the 82nd Division. Nice memorabilia and items from all major conflicts. Must visit if you have access to Fort Bragg.

It’s good, gave 3 stars in the hopes that they will actually get the little museum building finished and set up. So far it’s just a couple small sites with plaques about the site and that’s it.

Great festival for families, history buffs! Arsenal Park is a good place for a picnic too. Museum is just across the bridge walkway.

We try to visit historic places in most states we visit and this one was so Beautiful and Peaceful. Perfect place for a shaded picnic!

Beautiful park, nice scenery, brick walkway... Took lots of pictures. Thank you.

This was located right behind the Poe house. Also next the the local Museum. To combine the 3 makes for a good experience.

Off the path less traveled ~ hidden gem, full of historic information. A ghostly framework forms the outline of an arsenal tower that was destroyed by Union General Sherman in early 1865. Take the narrow footbridge over the MLK freeway and follow the path to the Edgar A. Poe home built in 1897 and restored with the original look and for a tour. On occasions Civil Reenactment festivals. Great place for a picnic. Nearby : historic graveyard with huge angels and crypts a couple of miles down the road through the neighborhoods off Grove Street.

A beautiful park filled with history in Fayetteville, NC. This park is nicely maintained and filled with gorgeous flowers! There's a museum on site as well although it was closed for renovations when I visited. The park backs onto a gorgeous church property which keeps the wonderful landscaping going.

This was a great place to come on a Friday morning. We took our toddler and baby and they both enjoyed watching the animals! Wish there were more animals to look at though The ice cream was also delicious!

Gillis Hill Farm is a fantastic family spot! It’s super kid-friendly with animals, swings, games, and even a zipline to keep the little ones entertained and engaged. The scenic pond and well-kept grounds make it peaceful and relaxing, while the ice cream and desserts are always a hit. The staff is very friendly and welcoming too.

Very educational and a lot of fun things to do, live animals

Absolutely adorable area!! Historic farm with refreshing ice cream. A little farther back on the road is the produce stand and strawberry farm - unfortunately at this time of year the strawberries were barely out of season, so we could not pick any. Plenty of other produce for sale there as well. Seems like a great place to bring children.

We have been going here 1-2x a week now for a couple years. We LOVE it!! The best ice cream in Fayetteville NC. The Banana is my favorite and is made fresh every day. They use real bananas and not the artificial garbage. The cookies and cream is also a top flavor of ours. And did I mention the waffle cones!! They are the best I’ve had. We highly recommend you try it out if you’re in the area. Super nice people and very fast service. Tons of outdoor seating available and even an area for kids to play, ride bikes, etc. Hope you try them out! We love it.

I loved it! The corn maze, sunflower field and hay ride. Over all a great experience. Will always recommend. And we spent hours and hours there.

It's one of our favorite places to come in Fayetteville. It's a seasonal ice cream shop and produce store. You can walk the farm and look at the animals. They have a lake in the back as well as a small stage for small presentations. the people are always friendly the ice cream is delicious and it's just an overall great place for kids and Families. Really grateful to have them around. Definitely come support this business!

This might be one of the most interesting malls I have ever been to, the experience walking into the food court was interesting to say the least, tons of pan handlers just about guide you all the way into the mall. Once in the mall you will find a decent offering of stores and places to eat in the food court, the mall is relatively clean, however there is a dated slightly dingy feel to the place. Overall I guess it's a good place to get in and get out for a few small things and maybe a quick bite to eat, this probably explains why there was plenty of parking!

This place is great! The food court has the best food and there are a lot of tables for families and just one person,the stores are good too,especially hot topic. Great mall for everyone!

grew up going to this mall all the time. Always clean and kept up. i want a candle scented like this mall because the rush of nostalgia i get is always crazy. love this mall and it offers a wide variety of shops and stores.

Got a tattoo here a few years ago and some jewelry last year. I don’t go as much as I used to but definitely had a ball here all the time. Has all the essentials a mall should have.

Really good mall, lots of places to shop around at and overall just had a nice kind community😀

Security here sucks. Not only have I had some one try to steal one of my vehicles, and someone else run into one while I was inside, but both times security could not even provide video to the authorities. Then again today I witnessed someone’s parked car get hit and the other one drive off, but when security was contacted to try to get ahold of the driver, they refused to try to reach them on the PA. Paul Blart was a better mall cop than these clowns. Don’t bring anything valuable and park far away from others.

I love going to the mall it has everything u need and want for all ages and lots of food and everything else

What a treat I shared with my Nubian Red Hat sisters, dining at Mash House! A casual eatery with nice lighting. I may add that this recommendation from the Co-Queen was well above my expectations! Food was 10+, Service was 10+, and the Atmosphere was 10+. Our server Janessa was so courteous and very knowledgeable about the fare. All of our dishes were plated so beautifully and were very flavorful. Comments ranged from the serving portions were excellent, appetizers were delicious, the cole slaw was not desirable, the in-house rib sauce was a 50/50 hit, and the desserts were warm and delectable as a warm brownie with chocolate syrup drizzed over vanilla ice cream (yum!) My dish was the seared tuna and lightly smoked asparagus prepared to perfection! Others enjoyed shrimp and grits, fried green tomatoes, ribs, salmon with shrimp. The appetizer selections were also very well prepared. Thank you for a great dining pleasure. I certainly will be back!!🍽

I stopped in here for a light dinner with a few friends and I was glad I did. I had a Natural Blonde on draft which was perfect and my Asian BBQ wings were tasty. We sat at the high tables in the bar and the service was fast and friendly. My friends had burgers and beer and a seared tuna salad and they were all happy with their food. This was a great choice for a Monday night!

Space was great, food was good, service was not the best. Food came out in good timing but our server seemed scattered. He would leave the table abruptly after hearing out half our party. Beers were good and the rootbeer float amazing. Mashed potatoes had a sweetness to them that I didn't like but steak was cooked well but too fatty for my liking calamari and spinach dip great. Beer Cheese was also tasty with the pretzels.

Amazing absolutely amazing food. Everything is made from scratch. Thee steaks are hand cut in the back by a butcher to ensure the best piece of meat. The desserts where to die for. They just melted in your mouth. The craft beers where smooth and the wine oh so sweet. Out standing visit. Definitely worth the money and time.

So so happy we stopped here for dinner. I’ll start with the beer selection, at least for what was offered for the the month of October they have the BEST tasting in house beer collection we’ve run across in a long time. I love ciders and was super bummed they were out of their one cider on the menu but their October fest, kilt smasher and the oatmeal stout were fantastic. In fact their oatmeal stout should really be listed as a coffee stout because the coffee overtones are so smooth and delicious I normally can’t stand oatmeal stouts and this was a fantastic beer. 10/10 to whoever created it. Now on to the food. Tried wings very good meaty and flavorful skin wasn’t crispy really but very decent food wings, I got the pulled pork potato skins which are really good almost to much pulled pork per potato but that’s never a bad thing, and hubby got the sirloin tips w onions, peppers, mushrooms, gravy covered with provolone cheese with a side of mashed potato’s. He loved it said it falls more along the lines of a steak pot pie with the mixture. Finished with an excellent crème brûlée to split and we were stuffed to the gills. This place is huge and busy but our service was excellent and I appreciate a place that has any waiter or waitress available bringing food and drinks as soon as it’s ready while you still have your main waitress checking on you. That’s the most efficient way to run a restaurant to me. Absolutely would come back already planning our spring trip to return.

The $15 burger, fries & beer combo had me sold. The taste of the beef patty was high quality and the toppings along with the grilled buns were delicious. Fries were super fresh and crispy. Crème brûlée was good, just a little burnt on top. Overall, enjoyed my meal here I’d come back for another.

Staff was nice enough. Food Portion size - normal. Not a lot, not pinchin’. Food was mediocre. Ghost pepper burger was dialed down by overly sticky and sweetened coleslaw that oozed out of the bun with each bite. A wet nap would’ve been helpful… overall, I wouldn’t go back. Bathroom is filthy. I wish I brought my camera in to take pictures of that. And it’s not the kind of dirty that someone was too busy on shift to clean. Like, months of filth on back of bathroom stall doors and floor edges.

Three years in a row! Picking blueberries in Carter has been a fun bonding experience for my family. Abundant, sweet, juicy, and reasonably priced fruit!

I am 80 old. Been going to Carter Blueberry farm for 40 years. It used to be a strawberry farm. This is a great place to pick blueberries. I had Conner and Luc do the picking for me. I already have 3o ponds and need more. I can't wait to get more next week July 22/2025. The folks at Carter are so kind, nice and make you feel welcome. Thank you Carter people.

Absolutely great little blueberry farm. The prices are great plus they have concessions if you need a drink or to cool off. I highly recommend it. Just make sure you go early if you want to beat the heat. And if you want some ideas for what to use all the blueberries for they offer recipes on their website. All around great place.

We just went to Carter Blueberry Farm today for the first time ever and it was wonderful! It was their last day of the season but there were still lots of blueberries left to pick. We couldn’t help but to taste-test a few as we were picking and the taste was so much better than the ones we would usually buy at the store. They have great prices & they even offer a 10% discount for military members and their families (which we were able to use). On top of that, there was a very kind woman working the register who also gave my son and husband some extra pieces of candy (Airheads) which was the metaphorical “cherry on top” of our fantastic day at the Carter Blueberry Farm! Absolutely recommended 10000%!

Love this place! Great fields of blueberries - tasty and sweet. Well maintained. Staff is friendly. Made 2 visits this season. Will return next year.

Me and my wife been there well over ten years can’t beat the service price people great tasteing blueberry

Great prices on blueberries and a great way to support a local farm

Fantastic event put on in Fayetteville every year. The city really goes above and beyond to make it a memorable experience from live music and local vendors to fun family activities! Being a sponsor, I was proud to support this event! Kaylynn Suarez did a perfect job this year making this festival so well put together!

Fun for the whole family! We attend every year. Make sure to dress your babies cool! Don’t forget your lawn chairs!

Look forward to both the spring and fall festivals every year. It provides the people of Fayetteville and the surrounding areas something for the whole family to do and have fun. From the vendors, food trucks, and entertainment the Dogwood Festival always puts on a good show!

Awesome time. I can’t wait for the next one. Such a fun crowd.

This was amazing. My kids enjoyed this event. We look forward to another amazing time next year! Great job to all who helped organize this festival!

First time going to the festival and we loved it! Great vendors, delicious food, and kid friendly. Looking forward to the next one!

Honestly I wasn’t horrible until the shooting. But there was very long lines which you’re going to expect. Food wasn’t horrible either.

Its a vibe. Loved the coach, atmosphere, and coaches. Wish i could go back but i have band :/

Excellent school, great teachers superb facilities. Must go if you are in the area and want to fence

My daughter began fencing here over a year ago and absolutely loves it. The coaching staff is incredible and the facility has an extremely neat vibe to it. It's in an old dance/ballet studio that was repurposed for fencing so the old ballet bars are still installed along the walls and serve as fencing mask and jacket racks and the wood floors compliment the overall feel. The academy is definitely less like a hired staff teaching fencing, and more like a family that genuinely provides the best assistance possible to ensure their fencers are among the best of the best. The owner offers a tournament nearly every single month so you're able to test your newly acquired skills against other fencers from the academy and around the state, so whether you're interested in the fitness aspect of the sport or the competitive aspect, there's something for everyone! I HIGHLY recommend this establishment if you're looking for a quality fencing academy.

Great classes and Coach Gerhard is amazing!! My daughter loves this Academy!! Definitely check it out!!

I started at All-American when I was 13 and knew basically nothing about fencing other than vague differences between foil, epee, and sabre. They taught me everything I know about fencing (thank you Coach Gerhard and Coach John!) and really spent the time to make sure I learned and improved each lesson. They also taught me about the equipment I was using and the maintenance/fixing of it. When I was there, there were typically at least two classes or open fencing times a week you could go to and there were usually coaches around, who you could ask for help or private lessons. The environment there always felt safe and inviting and all the other fencers were pleasant and kind. I loved my time there (I'm sure you will, too) and hope I'll be able to come back some time!

My daughter just did the beginner’s class and enjoyed. I was having fun just watching her. My daughter is on the shy side and the instructor was very good at both teaching and pulling her out of her comfort zone. We’re trying to juggle her schedule to get her in the regular class. Fourth Friday’s, go check it out, you won’t be disappointed.

In the last 3 years my daughter has been attending lessons at the All-American Fencing Academy I have see her grow as young woman and athlete. She has not only learned to Fence, but also learned the value of teamwork and camaraderie. Thank you Coach Gerhard and Coach Page!

Care more about themselves than any downtown business. How about support your restaurants and local shops. Instead of patting yourself on your backs

I enjoyed walking through this shop full of beautiful pieces. Purchased a set of teal jewelry but wish I could buy it all! Diane is very sweet and helpful!

Very awesome 2 meter rotating prism exhibit in the downtown, as well as other steel artwork.

An amazing dedicated group of passionate professionals spearheading bringing more attention to an Amazing Downtown.

A lot history ;a lot beautiful trees ,pleasant please to walk around; great food and different stores to shop 👍👍😎🎵🎶🥂🌝

The DTA is always working hard for all the Downtown businesses.

The food, atmosphere, and service were all fantastic—we had a wonderful time. The cheese and crackers appetizer threw me off a bit; I was anticipating bread while we waited to order, but it seemed to be a hit with others, including my husband, who loved it. Personally, I’m not a fan of cheese and crackers, so it wasn’t my thing. I also found it a bit overpriced. We visited the Arizona Steakhouse in Atlanta, and the experience was nearly identical—same great ambiance and quality—yet this place cost more, and I couldn’t pinpoint why, as I’d have happily paid extra at Arizona’s. That said, this is hands down the best steakhouse in the area, perfect for a date or anniversary. Just be prepared to spend over $200.

Just go to Texas Roadhouse instead. I just left here after a birthday steak meal and it was over cooked, tasted terribly bland, the twice baked potato was super dry without any extra toppings, and green beans were just blah. The cheese-wiz and crackers were okay. This would take you working 2 to 5 hours in order to compensate for a single meal. Overall, it was more expensive and way less delicious than any Texas Roadhouse meal and Ruby Tuesday's T-Bone steak. At least at Ruby's you can have tons of ingredients for your salad at their salad bar. Seriously, this place is super expensive with the meal options of a crappy backwoods restaurant. Don't waste your time at this place.

Let me start by saying this if you plan to have a large party here be aware!! I decided to plan my 40th Birthday party here since I wanted an elegant setting, I chose Chris, now I've been here before when my husband and I celebrated our anniversary, That was always a pleasant experience but I believe they were under a different management or Owner at the time. Let me tell you!! they made this They made my birthday experience Horrible and believe me when I say I will never come here again. First, the fact that I had to confirm my "reservation" about 4 times from August- September is unacceptable and very unorganized. As much as I wanted to change the location the invite where already sent out and I did not want to confuse my guest with multiple invites. 2. I planned to rent out the room Angus to be exact, but since they do not rent out rooms due to high traffic on Fridays and Saturday I was told just to make a reservation which I did in August just to make sure my table of 17 would be ready. I started receiving phone calls back-to-back about a contract which I thought was odd since it was just a reservation- meaning my party would sit among other guests and not by ourselves. To me the contract should have been valid if I had paid the $200 fee for the room that my guest and I would occupy so I assumed they wanted me to sign the paper they gave me just to keep records of who's attending which I did "twice" if the guest list needed to be updated. PLEASE UNDERSTAND if your guests are no shows they will charge you a fee of $53.00 per seat unoccupied for a reservation!!!. How do I know, Yes they tried to charge me for their mistake I updated my guest list on Thursday the party was Saturday but the receptionist forgot to update it!! 3. This new owner or manager is extremely rude and my guest took this situation as racial profiling. Reasons Number 1 I was told no balloons but the white party next to us was celebrating someone's 60th birthday party since balloons were present. 2 they gave them the middle table and put us in the corner towards the wall. Some of my guests food were cold. The steak was not done properly and Hard. The greens taste like the came straight out the ground no seasoning. For the price crackers and cheese mixed with sour cream is unacceptable. So over priced low quality food!! And the fact that yall put both parties in one room while the Angus room was Unoccupied is crazy. I guess you weren't that busy after all and it shows. The waiters we had no issues with they where very nice and understanding. But the owner I have nothing nice to say PERIOD!!! Overall 10 out of 10 I Do Not Recommend Read the reviews on 1 Star rating is clear they do this alot. And some experienced some Racism. I should have read the 1 star review but this was a lesson learned...

It was not what we expected. The food was okay, nothing wow! For the price we paid, we were expecting more. It was our anniversary dinner too. Our waiter was great she made us feel welcomed.

I had the absolute pleasure of being served by Joshua during my recent visit to Chris' Steakhouse and Seafood, and I must say—his service was nothing short of outstanding. From the moment we were seated, Joshua’s warm personality, professionalism, and attention to detail created a dining experience that was top-tier. What truly sets Joshua apart is his natural charisma and genuine care for every guest. He has an effortless way of making people feel welcome and valued. His recommendations were spot-on, he anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, and he maintained a perfect balance of friendliness and professionalism throughout the evening. In my opinion, Joshua embodies all the qualities of a great leader. His poise, communication skills, and ability to manage multiple tables with grace make it clear he has what it takes to be in a managerial role. Chris' Steakhouse and Seafood would only be stronger with someone like Joshua helping to lead the team. Kudos to Joshua for making our night memorable—he’s a true asset to the restaurant!

We went for my wife's birthday and had a great experience. Yes, it was pricey but worth it for special occasions. We had appetizers, salad, steak with add-ons. She had shrimp and I had crab cake. We took our desserts home to have it in the morning with coffee. Highly recommend to make a reservation. Walk-ins are welcomed but have to wait for those with a reservation. Enjoy!

Enjoyed our first experience here. Will likely go back, but I hate to say we were not totally impressed with the food quantity or quality. Had heard from others how good it was yet I felt my seafood was barely seasoned and rather dry. The two huge broccoli spears were totally tasteless. And I somehow expect a seafood plate to have a bit more to it. My wife’s pork tenderloin was fine, but she said it was not all that tender and surprised there was no sauce. Seemed like something was missing on both our plates. Ok, maybe the seafood and pork were designed to be “sauce-less,” but that’s not what I expected. I don’t want to dismiss the place on one visit alone, so we will go again one day. Our server was wonderful.

After a year in Fayetteville I finally made it to a museum. It's small but mighty take the time to read the exhibits you will learn some interesting facts. It's not really kid friendly even with the interactive parts.

The director, in our opinion, of this museum is very poor - how about making an effort to post changes to your hours and spending 10 minutes with those visiting? Clearly, it appears, you don't care about welcoming visitors...terrible. Several have noted about lack of posting hours and changes in the reviews here. You are disappointing visitors after a long drive with kids being saddened . Our family feels that what you did today...IS SHAMEFUL

It's free admission and is worth checking out to get a better feel of the significance of Fayetteville. Who knew that Fayetteville had so much to do with transportation? I sure didn't and definitely learned a thing or two from here. Also, there is a small Farmer's Market on Saturdays mornings that has about 4-6 vendors selling some produce, art, and canned goodies.

Had so much fun here. I love history, classic and nostalgic items. Took lots of pictures. Made my day posing with the classic automobils, etc. Thank you.

This was a great visit. The was no fee to visit. It has two floors and some great artifacts.

A museum and an annex that provides thorough information about Fayetteville, the surrounding area, and Cape Fear. It covers history, transportation, economics, and industry. It’s free so i recommend a visit.

The staff has done a great job setting up exhibits and showing the History of Fayetteville!

This was my 1st time doing this kind of thing but from beginning to end everything was Great. Check in was easy. Josiah was our flight instructor and he explained everything and calmed my nerves along the way. He was AWESOME! He kept reassuring me i was doing just fine..My husband and I enjoyed our experience. Again Josiah was awesome and Thank you for the wonder experience. 10/10.. I would recommend!!!

We had such an amazing experience today! Check in was fast and easy the instructor was great (this was our families first time), we will be back. This is something I myself have wanted to do for a very long time (I’m 67) and gave my daughter and her husband this family experience as my daughter’s 40th birthday gift; we all did this together. My 5 year old granddaughter was unsure but still had a great time as one of the instructors took her into the wind tunnel to see if she would try it (maybe next time 😉). I can not say enough about the amazing experience we all had today, thank you!

An Amazing Experience! Had a group of first-time flyers. And had a blast! A special shootout to our instructor Tre. He was hilarious, entertaining, great energy, and great teacher. At the end of our air fly, he pit on a spectacular show. An Amazing feat to witness. Looking forward to our next time.

We had an incredible experience! We brought a group of kids, and everyone had such a great time. Connor was fantastic with the children - patient, upbeat, and incredibly knowledgeable. My son was initially scared but Connor took the time to work with him and make sure he felt comfortable. He ended up truly enjoying the visit. We’re so grateful for the care and attention he gave. Highly recommend!

Tunnel flying is absolutely bliss. The best past time for getting to know yourself and make amazing friends.

We are glad we received a great service. 🤗 Thanks to instructor David. 😍 The downside of this event is that the video that we received was not recorded for us. 😭For the general flow of people for this time (half an hour). 🥺 There is no sound or design, the recording is like from a security camera. 😒😭

I experienced this for the first time as an elderly person (70 plus ) and as a bucket list item , I had to check this off . Jaden the instructor ,was exceptional , patient .and so thoughtful . I needed complete guidance and he was extraordinary in all his assistance . I would definitely do this again when I get the chance .

Where do I begin? To keep it brief, my wife and I went here for a date around 2018 thinking it'd be a fun time just for a day. Well that turned into an obsession for climbing. I was never athletic growing up as a kid, but this place truly made me want to be better physically so I can do what I have a passion for. The climbing place is the spot, regardless of you're a seasoned climber or a newbie wanting to try something new. P.S. shout out to the owners Michael & Martha, they are phenomenal with a plethora of experience!

Our family of 7 went here today. It was our kids' first time ever doing climbing walls. A couple of them were nervous to go, but we all ended up having a blast. We loved the Christian environment, and the lady working was very friendly. The Climbing Place was also, at least when we went, very autism friendly for our son with nonverbal autism.

Late post.....Me and my daughters had a blast..This place was very clean and the staff was very friendly. This place is definitely family oriented.. A very fun and challenging experience and great family fun.. I will definitely go back.

The staff are so nice and helpful! This is a great place no matter the weather, season, etc. Even if you are scared of heights, there are still fun things for the kids to do! But adults can have fun climbing too!

Always have great time here. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I bring my kids here to climb, they love it. Recent additions have really added lot to the experience. More for kids and adults alike. Come to climb or for a unique workout. Family friendly environment with free parking. If you're downtown, stop by here.

First time climbing. This place is dope. We had the place to ourselves. Pretty sure its not always like that. Loved it. Area for kids and adults. It was super clean, smelled great and had tons of climbs to do. 👌🏾👍🏾

I was so impressed with the sheer scale of different walls and sections available to all skill levels. My 5 and 7 year olds, two that vary wildly in skill and eagerness, both had an amazing time and were given great pointers to make their first time climbing an unforgettable one. Sincerely pleased with the friendliness and the professionalism of the staff- we are signing up for the membership!

First time visitor I came because of the Andy Warhol exhibit. Fairly easy to find, easy parking, and good ambiance and atmosphere. Would be back again.

Very nice staff the building and bathrooms were clean the grounds were beautiful.

Great to see magnificent work of art. Informative as well.

They have some high profile shows at the gallery, but it's such a small department that it doesn't seem to matter much.

Excellent locale for small exhobits

Sorry I'm not that into stuff like that

Nice experience, friendly staff!

We stopped by here shortly while traveling, and maybe because it was Halloween, the streets felt quite lively. The old brick buildings added a charming and atmospheric touch.

It's my home town, I've watched it evolve from the 60's. So many great improvements and coffee shops, eateries, theater entertainment. Christmas is my favorite time of year with the lights, carriage rides decorations 🎄🎄🎄

Fayetteville is a city in North Carolina. The Airborne and Special Operations Museum has exhibits on U.S. Army history, and a motion simulator. The riverside Cape Fear Botanical Garden has plant species like camellias and daffodils, plus a children's garden. The Museum of the Cape Fear Historical Complex explores local cultural heritage, and includes Arsenal Park and the 1897 Poe House, a late-Victorian house museum But we came in a short time and just go around the downtown, impression with house, view, trees, foods anything here

There are definitely hidden gems including antique stores and boutiques and delicious restaurants in Downtown Fayetteville. Art installations and statues are sprinkled throughout and coffee shops for the morning and wine bars and breweries for the night. It has a historic vibe with a "diamond in the rough" kind of feel. Downtown Fayetteville has something special and it keeps getting better with new additions. Some of my favorite places so far are the Coffee Cup, Airborne and Special Ops Museum, Gaston Brewery, The Sweet Palate, and The Fried Turkey Sandwich Shop. Come and visit and explore some of the shops down here!

Always a great place to take the family, nice for a short walk, plenty of restaurants, and shops to explore. Best time to go is when the sun is going down and the streets light up.

Cute down town. Nice shops and restaurants but lots of empty spaces. All places were friendly. Beautiful old buildings and architecture.

It's cute with a lot of history. It really depends on what stores you go to on your experience. But it's definitely worth to check out. So many restaurants and small businesses. Also Cape Fear river is there with a park for the kids and benches for you to sit at

First-timer in North Carolina and pleasantly surprised to try out these muscadine grapes. Sweet and tart, gotta love it. The Auman Vineyards is hidden behind a home, but opens up into a beautiful courtyard in the back. Vines are fully stocked and my family loved spending a few hours there on a cloudy morning. Just watch out for the ant hills!

This farm gives me good memories since a kid . It's traditional that my family visits every year and it's therapeutic. I even wrote a college paper on the farm/farmer. Thank you for being apart of the community .

My family had fun and enjoyed picking grapes here. The grapes are sweet, juicy, and so tasty.

Lovely little vineyard with a very nice owner. The whole family enjoyed visiting Auman Vineyard .

First time going grape picking. The vineyard is large and the gentleman that runs it is very kind and helpful. He also had local lavender honey for sale the day we went.

My mom and I found this place by accident. We were actually wanting some wine. We looked up wineries near us and this popped up. It is actually a place to pick your own grapes 🍇. It is a residence they have a big backyard with grape vines. There were children there laughing and having a blast. The elderly gentleman explained us about the grapes and which ones were right to pick. It was a great unexpected way to make another memory with my mom. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Beautiful natural scuppernog grape vineyard. My daughter loves being able to run and pick grapes. Very friendly and knowledgeable family owned business. Picnic tables, bathroom and handicap parking available. Fun for the whole family.

Not a bad driving range. I just wished there was cover over the driving area, it got really hot. Large basket was $14, I’m not sure how many balls but, I’m guessing about 150-170 balls give or take. Apparel prices were a bit high even with the “sale”. The staff could be more welcoming.

Shot my worst round of the year so far, but that was my fault. Onto the review. Tee Boxes 3.5/5 - Some tee boxes are beyond natural repair. Fairways 3.5/5 - Mixed grass means you could have a good or bad lie in the fairway. Noticeable bare spots. Greens 5/5 - No complaints to be had about the greens. They roll true at about a 10.5 or 11. The green shapes have a good amount of undulations making shot placement important. They hold shots well, being slightly firm. Bunkers 3/5 - I was in a surprising amount of bunkers today. These bunkers seem to be made from light beach sand. Depth and amount of sand was inconsistent. Placement presented challenges off the tee and on the approach. Layout 3/5 - Nothing really stood out as a signature hole, alot of straight aways, a couple drivable par 4s made things interesting. Amenities 3.5/5 - Mats only driving range with cars as targets is really fun. No practice bunker that I found. Large putting green. Overall, I give it 3.5/5. I rounded up being generous. I'd give it a true 4 if either the fairways or tee boxes were better. Good course to walk.

Stryker is a great golf course off the beaten path and you get a lot for your money regarding quality of the course. The front 9 are great for high handicap golfers with barely any roads/houses your hook or slice can impact. Be mindful of certain holes in close proximity to the driving range. Driving range is turf only.

For this kind of golf course… I would feel more comfortable with a 3,5 stars … it is not a 4 but neither a 3…. It isn’t well maintained but it is enjoyable….

Great course. Did not play regular golf but rather disc golf. Very nice course that was setup as a disc golf course 9n the back 9.

Rude, unprofessional staff. Especially the way they treated an active military member and a veteran. The fairways are brown and not kept well. If I'm going to pay $300 for a golf game, I should enjoy the golf. Nope. They made it a point to come out to us to tell us we couldn’t let people play through if they were catching up to us, and then kept coming out to “check” on us. Absolutely ridiculous. Worst golf course etiquette I’ve ever seen from the worst kept golf course I’ve ever been at.

Sadly this course is kept in poor shape. Barren spots in the fairway play like hazards. The greens are well maintained, but the rest of the course is struggling. Tee boxes are full of rough ground, weeds are overgrown into the sand traps, and rye grass quickly outgrows the fairway.

First time flying into and out of this airport. Small (very small) which can be a shock (and a relief!) if you're used large area airports. Doesn't have that big city crazy hectic feel. I won't tell you what to do, but I can't imagine a time you would need 2 hours to get through TSA here, that's for sure (a regular saya 45 mins is good). There is one little shop for essentials, plenty of seating and very clean. I am not sure I've seen a cleaner airport! (With staff all over the pllace cleaning.) My first dislike, and honestly it's probably the only real relevant one (because the fact that SW doesn't fly here isn't a review factor or the airport's fault probably)...is the lack of signage. Small airports still need signage. You come off of the TSA belt to the eatery(bar?) seating atrium... to nothing. Two ways to walk (left or right). Okay, true, it doesn't take a long time to walk from one wing to the other but JUST gate #s don't help anyone. Not a single passenger looked as if they had any idea where to go after TSA. We all did the same thing; looked around, looked back at the boarding passes (which this day for some reason the app for my airline did not ever indicate my gate#).... So we had to search for a departure/arrival boards because there is not one visible from TSA exit. 🤷🏻‍♀️ There are 2 A/D boards. One at each wing middle. And if the last airline left their sign out by the gate (but plane left a while ago) passengers are audibly heard saying, "wait so that's a different airline"...and so they keep on searching (back and forth between the wings). It can't be more than a 1/4 mile from one end of the airport to the other but schlepping and guessing aren't fun. One additional departure and arrival board would be perfect and preferred in the middle of the two wings where people coming off TSA belt can see which direction to go. Makes sense right? And the existing ones should be updated (which they were not at all while I was there, the opposite: gate #'s dropped off with no replacements). Other than that, it's a beautiful little airport, so many beautiful spaces, natural lighting and restrooms are everywhere and even right outside of TSA before you head in (which is so convenient). However, now that I'm thinking about it, I had another signage issue lol. Had to ask where TSA was👀it was not obvious upon entring the buikding. Signage for tickets, exits, and plenty of bathrooms, but TSA escalator is behind you when you (behind a large floor to ceiling wall) when you walk into the airport. So you go forward then backwards to go up 👀. I did see an escalator in front of me, but didn't assume that was for TSA (and you guessed it, no signage there). The airport doesn't look like two levels when you pull up to the front of the airport so it was interesting. I had to ask someone. They do have a pet relief area which I thought was really neat. Don't see that often... but I also didn't see how that works. Sign says "downstairs", (at an elevator door). But looking down through a window to an enclosed lower level (where the elevator opens up) there is an entryway with doors to the outside tarmack (with signs "no exit allowed"). Maybe someone else in their review will clarify how this works because it's not clear. In the end ..there were still no gate numbers on the A/D boards OR airline screen... Had to ask the desk🤦🏻‍♀️. [Update; a regular flier said this is extremely uncommon- good to know. And apparently there used to be only two airlines a long time ago.]

I arrived at the FAY airport at 0510 on 29 May 2025 for a 0600 or 6 a.m. flight with a final destination to Japan with Delta Airlines. By the time I got in line, it was 0515, and they were already telling people that it was baggage cutoff. A 45-minute baggage cutoff for a regional airport is unacceptable, and an exception should be made. They actually placed the cutoff prior to the 45-minute drop-off because people in front of me were denied baggage drop-off. I have traveled from many international airports, and such a cutoff does not exist. I am positive international airports have much more going on than regional airports. This is an airport that serves service members at a nearby military installation. The lack of service and assistance provided by the staff does not display a “Support Our Troops” mentality. It is more like assisting customers is not part of their values for those with Delta at FAY. If you go to the Delta counter at FAY, see an associate named Jess, and you are 46 minutes, definitely 45 minutes before your flight, you might as well sit down and wait for the flight to leave, so they can try to get you on another flight. I was provided with the tickets for my flights, but what sense does that make if I cannot check my luggage? The stewardess on the plane is not going to allow me to bring my luggage on the plane. If they are so firm on this 45-minute baggage cutoff, then they should place signs behind the counter stating such with a clock updated by satellite. They have signs for everything else in the airport: Real ID info, Carry-On Info, etc., but nothing about the critical baggage drop-off times. They need to make some major changes with customer service and providing information to passengers or demolish the airport entirely. An increase in employment may also assist with increasing efficiency. As the same employees who are at the baggage/ticket desk on the 1st floor are the same ones working the gate and boarding the flight. Also, recommend customer service training for some of the employees, because Jess had zero customer service skills. I ended up missing my flight, but I was not the only one. Several people ended up missing their flight due to the baggage cutoff. The only good thing that came about with this incident was them locking on another flight for me, 12 hours later, that caused a ripple effect for me. So instead of getting to my destination (Japan) the next day, it will be two days of travel. While at the airport for the second time, I witnessed the American Airlines baggage counter empty while people were in line to check their baggage prior to the baggage cutoff time. Due to the American Airlines counter being delinquent employees, people missed the luggage cutoff, and essentially missed their flights. Getting back on track now, I cleared security and was at my gate and the flight had been delayed twice, pushing the flight behind by 2 hours. They say Fly Fayetteville, but I recommend you fly Raleigh-Durham International. It will be a much smoother process as it is a larger airport with adequate staff. Additionally, there are more amenities for you to enjoy as you wait for your flight to board. Unlike FAY where there are mostly gates, vending machines, a small restaurant/coffee shop, and restrooms. If they are going to recommend you be at the airport 2 hours prior to your flight, they can at least have more/better amenities. They need to do better if they want people to fly out of here. I hope that this review helps with your decision to fly out of FAY or with being at the airport 2 hours early, so you don’t miss the luggage cutoff time.

Not from the area and wasn’t flying in or out of this airport, but I was here on business and needed a rental car. The process was fast, simple, and there was plenty of parking. Great experience.

I wish all airports were like this one. So easy to get in and out of, TSA agents and airline employees here are friendly and helpful and it is always immaculately clean. The USO volunteers are top notch as well, a big thanks to them for the service they provide.

My mom recently got back from an international trip last night, someone else grabbed one of her bags from the baggage collection area by accident and the newest Supervisor Dayhana did a great job at contacting people and giving phone numbers to resolve the matter. I was contacted by the person who accidentally took it (she was already home by then and didn't realize the wrong bag was grabbed until she got home and looked at the tag and then called the airport) and I was able to give my mom her number to call so they could get it resolved before my mom and dad left the airport. The Supervisor didn't have to wait to make sure the lady returned with the bag, but she did (that was the last flight of the night) and was even looking in the airplane with her flashlight for my moms bag just to be sure it wasn't left behind on the plane. I just wanted to give her kudos from my family for doing a great job and giving excellent customer service to my mom, so thank you to Supervisor Dayhana, keep up the great work that you do!

I’m not from Fayetteville, but I fly out of the area a few times a year. I never had an issue here. TSA are extremely friendly and patient. I never experienced any high-pressure service from the team. Food service personnel are just as kind and helpful. USO office and their friendly service is also a great add-on for me. I’m a frequent flyer. I have visited all 50 states and over 30 countries. Again, I travel a lot for work and pleasure. I’ve been to many extraordinary airports. Fayetteville Regional Airport is constant in terms of professionalism, cleanliness, and general well-maintained atmosphere: restrooms, parking lots, waiting areas, etc. I’m thankful for smooth service each time. Kudos to the Fayetteville Regional Airport team! 🇺🇸♥️

Jerry Nance Jr., of American Airlines, Is single handedly the most unprofessional airline worker I have ever met. I understand times are tough, but this man is an absolute clown and needs to find another job. I hope his supervisor sees this. Thank for making eveyones trip extremely difficult and providing terrible customer service.

Excellent plan to relax, appreciate art, be curious, and support artists. You can go with family, friends, your couple, and it's free! Art always fills the heart.

Visited on a Sunday afternoon, it was so wonderful to see some local art! Such a great use of a historical building in downtown Fayetteville. Admission was free and the lady working was very friendly and welcoming when we walked in. We stayed for about 15 minutes, the space was small but could fit a decent amount of art.

We visited on a weekday. There is paid parking on the street. Right now there is a display of art by locals. Lots of paintings and a few other mediums. My favorite piece was a wing made out of plastic knives and painted red/white/blue. The staff were very inviting and kind.

My wife and I had an incredible experience at The Seed and The Sower exhibit. The Fayetteville Arts Council did a phenomenal job bringing together such powerful works that celebrated Black legacy, lineage, and creativity. Curated beautifully by Teresa Christine, each piece told a story that sparked emotion and reflection. It was truly moving to witness the depth of talent and cultural storytelling on display. We left inspired and grateful for spaces like this that honor and uplift Black art and community.

Wow! We enjoyed our visit here! Learning about local Native Americans in this area. Reading about their stories and trying to preserve their customs. The exhibits change periodically. So we'll definitely be sure to continue visiting when the exhibits change!

Pretty nice small museum. Also free. You can find oil paints ,mixed media, and photography. Very talented artists.

Lived here for years, and just visited for the first time last Friday. Got a free t-shirt. Friendly people. Loved the art.

We loved it. Our 1st time bringing our dino lover was last year and we decided to make the 3 hr drive to revisit. Loved the changes made to the layout and that the rides were in the back near everything else. I dont remember as many, if any, of the motion activated dinos on the trail moving when we came through last year, so maybe that was an update or repair but we were pleasantly surprised that every single one was in action this time around. The carnotaurus at the end was a nice addition. We had a great time! And as a side note, all the staff we encountered were friendly but the young lady who works the dino ride is SO great and interactive with the kids.

After visiting the farm, I had to post a review because it saddens me to see animals in such unfavorable environments. I had to read other reviews to see if this was a common occurrence or an off day, and sadly others have mentioned similar experiences. My biggest concern was the pigs were completely out of water. The larger pigs had a bucket full of wet mud and an empty trough. They did have a mud field in the back with muddy puddles. The smaller pigs had no water and didn't even have access to mud puddles, they were locked in a floored pin. We poured some water into their bin and they were fighting to try to get to it. We told someone at the front booth while we were leaving, but they really didn't seem to care. The rabbits were sitting in small wired cages with a roof but no air flow. It is my understanding rabbits shouldn't be in temperatures higher than 80 degrees, which can cause heat stress and death. They were heavily panting, their food bowls empty, and water was green. There was a long electric fence containing some of the animals. This fence didn't have any warning signs posted (that I saw). Even posting signs could still be dangerous considering there is no buffer between the electric fence and your child. Lastly, we paid $160 for 4 adults and a child. This provided entrance to the farm, inflatables and dino world. All other things are extra. Upon entering, there is a field on the right with dinos labeled "SVR photo area". Thinking this was an area where I could take photos of my child - since dino world was included in our pass - I went to take a picture and was immediately told to leave the area and that I wasn't allowed to take pictures there. I think it's pretty crummy to put this area at the front of the farm (the true dino world is all the way in the back), so children get excited and want to check it out, only to be told it is an extra and you have to pay to get your picture there. This is how our experience started, so I was already frustrated before we even made it to the first exhibit. Dino world was set up nicely, which is why I'm giving two stars, but I was very disappointed with the farm and "petting zoo" areas and overall experience.

My boyfriend and i booked the Queens Cabin at Sweet Valley Ranch for my 36th bday weekend. The hostess Ms. Melody and my boyfriend worked together to provide me with the best birthday ever. They created an itinerary that was loads and loads of fun for anyone of ANY age. Friday evening i was met with a small cake that read Happy Birthday and other trinkets from Ms. Melody. Around 2am my boyfriend and i sat out on the deck to star gaze. I saw 3 shooting stars! Saturday we rode 4 wheelers for an hour with Craig and Wesley. We rode thru some trails at 50-70mph! We did find one mud puddle and ofcourse we road thru it. We had a blast! I learned how to fish how to fish for the first time. I spent more time learning to cast the line than actually fishing. Lol i fed so many animals but a spotted girl horse was my favorite to feed red apples to in the back field. She is BEAUTIFUL and so big! Sunday was spent petting, brushing and feeding Hunter the mini cow and Phoenix the mini pony. They also have fainting goats that stiff up when you chase them. I had fun terrorizing them as well. I had the BEST BIRTHDAY here and you will too. Have you booked yet?! Well what are you waiting for!

Really nice place to go with kiddos. I recommend sunblock, bug repellent, and water. I got my tickets online, but the waiting is not long if you preferred to get them there.

We had the best time today! Our UTV guide Wesley was amazing and ensured we had a good time. Definitely the highlight of our grandsons visit to NC. We will be back! Thank you for giving us this family memory❤️

I visited Sweet Valley Ranch with my son and his family, and my 3 yr old grandson was sooo excited when we entered "Jurassik Park!!!" We rented a golf cart to ride around in, but it is an easy walk, ( but maybe a bit long) walk. There are also other animals to look at and feed. In the Reptile Hose, I thought it was pretty cool that you ask the visitor's input for naming the Mata Mata Turyle and the Caphian (sp) Lizard! If your child likes dinosaurs, this is the place for you! There are add-on packages, face painting, photo sessions, etc, that you can also purchase. It was a really great time for our little family!

Took my daughter for the all access tour. We had an amazing time. Mr. Jerry was very accommodating and Taylor and Melissa did a great job with the tour. They were very patient and informative. Overall amazing farm with great staff. I will be back soon!

Such an amazing and welcoming theater. Such fun and talented productions and they keep trying to grow and reach out to their community. Truly an amazing place.

This place is incredible, and each show is better than the last! The dedication the artists have to their craft as well as the upkeep the Artistic Director, House Manager, and staff have done is just so beautiful. The shows are so well done in performance and design that you're shocked to know this is a community theater! For anyone who has yet to attend their shows, 100/10 recommend doing so this upcoming season!

Love it! High quality actors and producers, directors, etc. Eric Hoisington was great in The Rocky Horror Show! I just wish they would move to a larger place! With a bigger stage!

I have seen several shows at the Gilbert, and have seen nothing but greatness!! The art there is true community theatre, and I love what I get to see, both acting and technical, every time I go to see a show. Every time I go there are improvements, and I look forward to seeing where this theater goes in the future. The staff and all volunteers I’ve encountered are also incredibly kind, and I highly recommend for anyone to spend a night seeing a show here!

We had a group of 20 our first time last weekend to go see the premier opening-day show of Evil Dead the musical my daughter Linda and the rest of the group were amazing but the theater itself was nice comfortable very courteous and we had a wonderful time there's an experience that I will never forget it was so good we had to go back tonight and I plan to go next weekend

Gilbert Theater is full to the brim with talent, authenticity, and kindness! The expression of art and sharing of stories is more important now than ever, and places like the Gilbert are ensuring we still have that.

Excellent cast in the play "Cabaret"I highly recommend it.9-13-25

This is my second summer concert at this venue. Last year, the venue believed in using the air conditioner in July. This August however they did not believe in using g the air conditioner even though several thousand people were in attendance. Acoustics are also not great for music. Food is decent and affordable. Parking was free.

We attended a concert and the venue itself was really nice. There is absolutely zero cellular service and your normal long bathroom waits. The only thing I didn't particularly care for was the traffic directing. The law enforcement officers did great however there were some volunteers waiving wands around which confused us. With that said, we were back on the highway within 5 or 10 minutes.

This is not an ideal venue for concerts. Attended the Scotty McCreery concert on 8/22, first time here and we will never be back. Parking is in a field that is full of holes and ruts and smells like manure. The inside has basically no signage on where sections are, except for a small sign at the top of the section near the ceiling. There were no staff available to help with finding our seats, which is expected at concerts. Seems like they didn’t even turn on the air at all the whole time. The women’s bathroom was disgusting and the floor was slippery and wet, with no wet floor sign placed. The only thing this place has going for them is free parking and reasonably priced concessions. Good concert, but I will never return to this place that is not designed for concerts.

I love Monster trucks. You can ride a monster truck for $10. There are plenty of seats and restrooms on end of center. My 3 stars is due to the trucks not able to jump or go fast. This is a small event center for Monster trucks. I did enjoyed the show. We need an event center bigger so they can fly. Staff are friendly and there was a table with shirts and flags.

We attended the Rodeo and Fair! What a great event venue! Adequate parking, wide walking areas, plenty of restroom facilities .. I saw staff walking around picking up litter and keeping the grounds safe and clear.

Bathrooms were not maintained during the event and before the main act took the stage they were filthy. It was also extremely warm in the building. I will probably not go back to another event there.

Fun day at Duplin Event Center holiday party with the community! Food, line dancing, dj, free community services, raffles, and more. The Duplin Sparklers performed dances that won them the "Gold" at state and regional competetions. Community News: A new Senior Center is currently being built next to this event center. Good news for the senior citizens!

Outstanding baseball facility! They are renovating it as we speak. The field is Top notch. The stands are great and covered to keep you out of the sun.

Great concert venue. VIP was accommodating.

Fun place to take the family for an evening out. Affordable food and beverage costs and safe place to enjoy coastal plains baseball.

Nice football field, and also has a nice ball field, haven't seen a game there yet but interested to see what it's like! They do have bathrooms on site and a place for kids to run around!

Small place, but they have good lighting

Had a fantastic time at the FTC C baseball game. The silage I are good especially if you are underneath the overhang. If it's chilly bring a seat cushion though the seats are metal

The FTCC security guard made me move and said the parking there was VIP's. ONLY! I asked her if all the cars there were VIP's and she yes all of them! I asked her if the Van was VIP's and she said yes! She lied because I know 5he people in the Van. They are all VIP's to me but are not related to anyone there. She was parked there when the people in the Van parked and she never said anything to them or the family that parked On 5hat area driving a Ford SUV. For some reason she chose to give me a pr

Nice size splash pad. Definitely room for several kids to play. The water was on at the exact time the website said it would be. I would like more shade area. I didn't like all the parking area being so far. But I guess you can park behind it but Google didn't take me to that parking lot.

A newer park for the bigger kids is going to open soon, and the little kids love the toddler park. There is a cool climbing net and a smaller climbing play place for the smaller kids. There is a seasonal splash pad and baseball and softball parks. Lots of space to play and walk. Dogs are okay on leash. Gazebo with picnic tables. There are sometimes some shady characters around, but we haven't had any issues. A good place for kids to meet new friends as well as adults and also to meet up and have playdates. Central location next to FTCC.

Awesome place people very friendly and love the splash pad a lady even let me daughter ride her kids scooter.

Really nice park! It's clean and seems well kept. It has different sized slides for all aged kids. There's also a splash pad, and walking trail. It has a gazebo and seating around the park as well as ample parking.

My 2 year old son loves this park. There are two areas, one for the toddlers and one for the kids. The kiwanis club is open for restroom breaks and there are plenty of places for me to sit down and watch him play with his baby sibling.

This park was the highlight of my kids day. They loved the splash pad and the spider web play area and school age playground. We went to check out the preschool side a few days later and my daughter loved it. The parks do need to be maintained a tad though. In the preschool park with the huge dragon, on the far side of the spider web play park, it needs to be power washed and the flooring needs to be recemented down The school age side has a monkey bar section that is missing. Idk how long ago its been missing, but that didn't stop the children from having fun. Bathrooms are available near the baseball fields and at the recreation center. Great park for a hot summer day of play. If shaded area is taken at the splash pad, bring a chair or mat to stay under the nearby trees.

EDIT: Recently renovated!!! So much better Great hang out spot. Entertainment time: easy 2 hour Pros: Easy parking 3 diferent playgrounds splash pad near by tons of running space loads of families Cons: close to the parking lot, so watch your kids carefully can get pretty busy

It is a nice park to take your four legged friends, but the people that goes there dont appreciate it much, nor take care of it. There were dog poop all over the park. The small dog area that is. Even though there are waste bags provided, they wont pick up after their dogs. We need to do a better job than that. Common we all are adults, lets' behave as such.

I Go every Sunday. Very clean for a dog park and to socialize your dog. They have a separate area for the smaller dogs and a separate area for the larger dogs which is nice because the bigger dogs could trample your poor little baby. There is walking trails next to the dog park. Unfortunately it is next to a water treatment plant so there is a very distinct smell for those that are sensitive to that kind of thing. I would recommend taking your dog baby to this park.

Tons of space and shade. They have water faucets available. There’s a lot of mud at the entrances to the yards, so be careful.

Our first trip to the dog park was successful. We meet a lot of well-behaved dogs and a few nice people, as well. There dog park is reasonably well maintained, all things considered. There are plenty of buckets for the dogs to drink and a couple of places where poop bags are kept along the fence line. There's only a single chain link fence between the large and small dog sides, so there's a bit of excitement from that, but it wasn't unmanageable. Owners seemed to actually pay attention to their dogs, which you don't see everywhere. We will definitely be back.

This our favorite dog park in Fayetteville to bring our dog, George. It’s well maintained. The grass stays mowed, the trashcans usually aren’t overflowing and they have poop bags hanging on the fence to use. There is a small dog side and a large dog side. The large dog side can be partitioned off too. They have water spigots and benches and enough trees to sit in the shade while your dog plays. It’s also at the beginning of the Linear Park trail in case you’d rather take your doggo on a walk. It can get kind of muddy the day after a heavy rain so we do try to avoid it then. Plenty of space. We’ve been there when there were 12 other dogs in the large dog area with us and still felt like there was room for more dogs. George approved.

This is a great place to take your dog to run around they have plenty of water stations,toys and bags to clean up after your dogs. I really enjoy taking my son’s dogs there. There are benches for people to sit on.There’s a small dog area and a large dog area. They have another area in the back if you want to keep your dog away from the other dogs.

Holy Dogs!! Do not show up at ten am and expect to be alone! There must have been 25 dogs in the large dog area. The small dog area is designated for dogs under 25 lbs but we put our antisocial human loving 80 pound dog in the small dog area because no one was there and we were scared to see what would happen with the exposure to so many other dogs all at once. I was surprised at the large number of dogs and how well they all played. They would jump in the water buckets and lift their legs on the fire hydrants. It was cute! Maybe we will show up at a less visited time again (not between 9:30-noon) and see if our dog can handle the large dog area.

I went there April. Super nice, pretty spacious. It was clean & well taken care of. I took my boys to skate, after they were done we walked the park. There was a little stream that they loved. Animal status, picnic tables, lots of shade. NO DOGS allowed, but I did see 2 dogs. Everyone seemed to be cool about it.

Casual spot that can get busy but most people will give way to those who are still learning or even give a helping hand. It is kept clean and there is a wall near by for the graffiti artist which keeps the skate park safe from mark ups. Public park spot with a great skate shop adjacent and a kids playground area next to it.

Took kiddos and dogs here on a Sunday afternoon. Wasn’t overly crowded. Lots of room and open space! Would go back for sure!

Very nice park with a bowl and other large skating area.

Was lovely walking my dogs here before taking off on a 3 hr ride. The skaters loved them & were respectful of them. Plenty of wide open area for them to walk. Bring your own bags, though!

Great skate park. I love how the older skaters help the younger ones. My son was nervous at first but everyone was so cool! Clean area as well!

We go to the Pickelball courts all the time. Well maintained for your recreational user and two courts have shade in the AM because of the trees. First some first serve courts. Gravel parking lot right next to it. Bathroom is 1 portable.
