The 9 best things to do with kids in Archdale

Absolutely beautiful park with activities for people of all ages. Also one of the nicest disc golf courses in the area. Hats off to the grounds crew. Top notch job, ya'll.

I love Creekside Park! The last two years we have attended the firework shows and it has been a blast. Last year they had bouncy houses, food trucks, and tons of recreational fun for kids! We spend the day there throughout the evening and had an excellent time. The lines were long, as to be expected, with as many people gather there during this event. This year, we attended the firework show! It was awesome, and I’m glad we have a place to go that puts on a good show, safe, and a place to have fun! We have also attended a birthday party here under the shelter that offers great amenities with a playground and baseball field. They have nice, clean bathroom facilities that are open! It’s a great place to schedule your next outdoor event.

There's plenty to do for all ages! July 4 it's always packed as well as surrounding areas, but they have games, face painting, food trucks leading up to sunset and Fireworks!

I've taken my children here since they were little and now to take the grandbabies is memorable. I love the trails and activities within. The playground has updated a few times. But we definitely recall the ballgame and cheers and volleyball the kids played. Always clean and accessible.

Very nice park. Plenty of trails, trash litter was very miniscule, tree coverage was abundant, plenty of park benches and trashcans, and a good amount of pet cleanup stations.

The fireworks show was amazing, the vendors were great and super friendly, wish the bounce houses were included at no cost for the kids, but overall will do it again next year!!!!

We love creekside it’s so family oriented! They have a smaller closed in play ground for the kids and a much bigger one for the kids . They also have several running paths for runners and walkers . They also have great areas to take pictures near the creek and shelters for party’s. This is overall a great park we literally drive 15 min from our home bc it’s worth it . They also have volleyball nets up and baseball fields. Bathrooms are available throughout the day .

Very cool place with outs for the whole family to enjoy. From the jumping trampolines to tractor rides and all kids of activities in between, you won’t be disappointed. $10 parking and $20 entrance fee gets you on all rides except zip lines. Lots of places to sit and food options seemed somewhat limited. Overall highly recommend

This is such an amazing attraction park. I had no idea they offered all these adventures. It is open year round for laser tag, axe throwing, and zip lining but is one of the premiere haunted houses in the country! Not to mention they boast an austere Christmas celebration. It strongly reminds you of Dollywood with its setup and family friendly atmosphere. The grounds are spread out and they expanding. The staff were warm and friendly....even gave us a tour and additional time in our booked session. Reservations are required. Definitely a spot we will be returning to!

The best time I've ever had being scared! I've been to Spookywoods so many times and it never gets old. There's always something different to keep things fresh. Great characters, awesome effects, and the makeup and costumes are outstanding. I would recommend this to anyone that loves a good scare. I can't wait for next year!

We took my 88 year old father (his request) for an afternoon of zip-lining and we had a blast. Much of our experience is thanks to Jennifer and Jennifer, fabulous Flight Captains and so very patient. We had a blast! Highly recommend this for families

I recently visited Kersey Valley Attractions in Archdale, NC, and I was thoroughly impressed with the experience. The park was much bigger than I expected, offering a wide range of activities that cater to all interests. Not only is the park expansive, but it is also impeccably clean, which added to the overall enjoyment of our visit. The staff at Kersey Valley Attractions are incredibly friendly and accommodating. We were particularly impressed with Tony, who went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. My son was unable to participate in the ziplining due to being underweight, but Tony graciously arranged for us to take part in the outdoor laser tag instead. His thoughtful gesture made a huge difference in our day. The variety of attractions is fantastic. From the exhilarating ziplines to the adrenaline-pumping outdoor laser tag and challenging escape rooms, there's something for everyone. We visited on a Saturday afternoon, and despite the park being busy, the staff managed everything smoothly, ensuring every guest had a wonderful experience. Overall, Kersey Valley Attractions is a must-visit. The combination of its large size, cleanliness, diverse attractions, and superior customer service makes it an ideal destination for families and groups looking for a fun and memorable day out. Highly recommended!

We booked our company party with Kersey Valley. We treated our employees and their families to a laser tag session followed by all of the attractions that are included with Maize Adventure. They were very accommodating and the staff was extremely nice and helpful. A great place for families or company parties. Our group had a blast!

This is the second year we have come for Christmas. We came for the first fall festival this year. The corn maze is HUGE and educational to boot. I will tell you this place doesn’t disappoint! Christmas is the best! Santa and Mrs. Claus are the real deal. They are a great draw. You get a specific time and they text you so you don’t waste your time in a long line and can enjoy your time more. The Grinch is also a favorite of mine. Just the right touch of bah humbug I need! EVERYONE of the workers seem happy to be here and happy to help. Food could be cheaper, but that maybe the only bad mark. Not taking a star for this. Bathrooms are clean and there is minimal trash on the ground. My family and I will be coming back year after year. The place is magical, the smiles are real.

Had a great visit at Kersey Valley zip lining! Jenn H. And Jennifer S. were great flight captains. They made the experience fun and I felt safe and enjoyed my time.

It’s been 10+ years since I’ve Zip-lined, but I went to Kersey Valley this week had a blast. My guides Mike and Jennifer were very encouraging and made me feel very safe! Had a great time and would definitely go back!!!

Took my daughter and some friends (between the ages of 12 and 35)for her 18th Birthday. It was amazing. Our flight captain's Justin and Billy were great. When we go back, we will be requesting them! If you want something fun for the whole family this is the place to go!!!

Such a great experience!!! We did the first class zip lining with Andrea and Kenny. They were both wonderful. My 10 year old was pretty scared and they were so great talking him through things. I was nervous he would back out but he did every single one and by the end was practically running off the platforms! I was very impressed with all of their safety protocols. I felt very confident we were in great hands. Highly recommend. Worth the drive from Raleigh!! They offer so much else too! Can't wait to check out their other attractions!

Jennifer and Zach were great guides! We had the best time!

We had a fantastic time! This was our very first time ever Zip Lining and it was so much fun. Matt and Zach were a blast and made us feel safe and comfortable the whole time. We will definitely be going again!

This was our first time and it was awesome. We did the first class flight and Savannah and Zack were our Captains and they did an amazing job. I was nervous but they made me feel so comfortable by the 3rd line I was fine and ready for more. We will be back and bring the family. They have so much more to do here other than zip lining but you must try it you won't regret it. Thank you so much Savannah and Zack for making this such a great experience. You guys ROCK!!!!

It’s a great experience though it could be more user-friendly. It’s $25 per person so a family of three may cost $75 even though the two parents won’t engage with most of the activities. So having a parent spectator option would be nice. Also the activities that require you to book a time slot end earliest in the day which isn’t specified in the attraction map. So when my kid was ready for laser tag or escape rooms, we didn’t have the option, even though the park didn’t close for another two hours. I went with kids ages 3-12 and they all had a great time overall. Great way to get out the house and off the phone.

I LOVED this spot. This place is like an amusement park filled with seasonal goodies!! The maize had a clue game - finding clues in the Maize kept me entertained. Normally I love the idea of maizes but once I’m there I wish there was more to do besides getting lost 🫠 - this cute idea was soooo fun. They have outside laser tag, tall slides, a pumpkin patch and ziplining! I can’t wait to go back for Christmas🎄

I took my niece and nephew (ages 5 and 6) for a day of fun and we had just that. There was so much today we never even made it to the corn maize. They really enjoyed everything and didn’t want to leave. It’s definitely worth the price for all that’s available. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Can’t wait to bring them for the Christmas event.

First time going we will definitely be back. I love the fact that there was seating for adults while the kids played & clean restrooms. Only thing I would change is how the lines are for the cow ride. Xavier did a great job of letting ppl know not all seats were 2 seater. Lines should be labeled.

Loved this place. Went there with my wife, sister and all the kids. Great place for kids to play and enjoy activities. There are multiple activities such as train rides, a bounce pad, rock climbing, swing shot, and whatever the theme may be for the event. Food and drinks are for sale as well. We went for Halloween, so we enjoy the pumpkin patch and taking pics with different backgrounds for Halloween. Would highly recommend it. Take note, it's alot of walking and parking may be far from the actual main gate

Great place for the kids. I was also blown away by how friendly and caring the management and staff were. My youngest daughter had a panic attack while in one of the escape rooms and the game master (Carrie) took the time to sit and talk to her and get her calmed down. They were so kind and awesome! I will definitely be back and recommend to all my friends!

My family and I had a great time here this past Saturday. The price is most definitely worth it with the amount of activities. A plus to the amount of activities, is the fact that you can do each activity multiple times if you choose so. The kiddie zip line, pedal cars, and pillow bounce was a hit with my older girls. If I could make one suggestion- it would be to add a toddler area. If a child is three or younger there wasn’t as much for them to participate in, either due to age or height. (Can’t ride the slide, zip line, pedal carts, etc). But, overall it was an excellent experience and we will be back!

We had a fantastic time doing this axe throwing Cheryl was with us and she was like a breath of fresh air, very funny, really nice and you can tell that she loves what she does by the excitement in her voice and that was so refreshing. We'll definitely be back and I'm looking forward to it already. Thank you Cheryl

I wish I could remember the name of our Instructor - he was excellent! We booked a party indoors and had a blast. Word of advice, wear short sleeves or even active wear - it gets warm! We had a full hour and a half and we used that time to practice first then play a few rounds. I definitely recommend this and will be going back.

We had an absolute ball!! Can't wait to do it again!

My friends and I had a total blast chucking some axes! Our instructor, Lane, was helpful and super fun to work with! We decided on the inside targets, which was a bit cooler and more personal than trekking outside! Once you get some practice throws you get to "compete" with your friends and see who gets the most points! It was very safe and fun! I think the targets should be replaced more often. A lot of the wood was chipping off and made the axes a bit hard to stick in the target, but all-in-all it was an amazing experience!

I've been to indoor axe throwing and enjoyed it, but this outdoor course is like nothing you've ever done before. What a cool concept! It's like a sporting clay course with axes! Lot's of different kinds of "shots" keep things interesting, and the 25' viking throw along with some other unique setups make this head and shoulders above any other axe throwing experience out there. Guides kept everyone safe and made sure rules were followed, but that didn't impede on the fun. A fantastic concept, and a great time! I highly recommend this!

Awesome experience. Instructor was great and there was plenty of time and fun to be had. The instructor also would help fine-tune our throwing motion as we played. Will definitely be back for more throwing as well as doing other activities

Andrea, our axe-throwing instructor, was fantastic! She was very helpful in getting our form down. We did MUCH better than we expected for our first time throwing and she was probably a big part of that success. We had a great time and will definitely be back soon!

as a kid that went here for almost a decade its very clean, I don’t know how it is now but when I went for my first years it was amazing and as the years moved on new teacher came in that were mean. and not to mention mrs.dayshae put her hands on a kid and i reported it and they didn’t do anything. I also watched the lunch lady and a kid hunter fight. really just need to watch who they hire, there were amazing teachers there to that i still miss today. there are good playgrounds, clean buses and it’s very fun during summer most the time. would give it a 3.5 starts but i cant

It's a very good daycare & the staff is great also and the director Mrs.Patty is a very nice women and she understands what other parents have to go through if they have some problems & priorities or concerns, she handles it well and goes beyond her duties!!! I love that about her!! good daycare very recommend!!!

I can not say thank you enough to the staff here at this daycare, this is the second childcare center my daughter has attended and I will keep her here as long as I can do so. Everyone is always so friendly, protocols are followed, and they show much love to all the kids that attend. I say this because of the first childcare center my daughter attended she was not properly cared for 80% of the time, I constantly worried and worried, but; here we know she is in good hands and will be cared for like she should be. Thank you to all the staff and teachers!

My child has been going here for over 6 months and it has truly been great! We have seen how much this daycare has grown and it has been a smooth transition. They make a point to speak with all of the parents and really focus on the kids' strengths. The director, Ms. Tovia, has been such a great person to communicate with about all of our needs and concerns. She brings a really nice sense of happiness to the place. Ms. Kiana and Ms. Keisha have also both been wonderful teachers, who care and really help the kids advance in their skills. I really appreciate how well kept up they are on their cleanliness and sanitation methods. They have every child wash their hands before interacting with any other kids or playing with anything in the classrooms. Every evening at pickup, I see them sanitizing they're rooms; toys, tables, chairs, counter tops, bathrooms; and even washing all linens used during that day. The workers who work in the younger classrooms, are very couscous and wear coverings around their shoes anytime they exit their room. Overall, the staff here has really helped my child and helped reassure me that they are in good hands.

This is my first ever child care experience with with my first child. I was super nervous with all the horror stories and the events that take place at other daycares. However, I knew from the tour this was the place for my son. He came in at 3 1/2 months and Ms.Shawn has been an exceptional gem since day 1. She has made this process so much easier and I absolutely love her and the attentiveness she constantly give to my child. Alongside all the other child care workers that take care of my child 40/hrs a week. Also, love the camera addition so I can check in on him threw out the day and I don't have to be a worry wart. Overall this day care and all the faculty and staff are nothing short of amazing. Their communication skills, patience, hospitality, and interpersonal skills. I would not have chose any other day care.

We have been at Childcare Network on Fairfield for almost 2 months and plan to stay long term. Tovia, the Director, has always been friendly and available to answer any questions we have. The teachers and support staff have all been fantastic! It’s clean which was super important to me!!! The ability to check in on my child during the day, with the cameras, is really great. I love getting the kid report at the end of the day telling me what she ate, diapers, activities and pictures. I’m comfortable leaving my child with Childcare Network on Fairfield. I know that she’s being taken care of and that they care.

Best experience! My little was having behavioral issues and instead of sending him home or making him out to be a problem child, they were extremely patient with him and me while we explored treatment options. We have come such a long way with my child and the office staff has been amazing along with each one of the teachers there. Never had a bad encounter with anyone in the facility. Feels like the staff love the children as their own.

My daughter first week being in a childcare facility & I have nothing but amazing things to say! EVERYONE is so nice & welcoming and hands on! I witness even the receptionist being hands on and helping with the babies while up front. SUPER clean facility! My mind was so at ease leaving her! I personally live far and my anxiety was through the roof even just driving her there, once I realized how far it was but it is truly worth it. Hence I went based off of the reviews! Their reviews are accurate, they definitely have earned additional stars from me! My mind is at ease knowing my baby is safe, somewhere clean & around loving welcoming people.

I highly enjoy working at The Nest School in Archdale! I love teaching and interacting with such positive children and families every day! I love coming to The Nest and seeing my co-workers with a smile on their face and always taking such good care of all the children! I recommend putting your child in this center! We will love your children like our own!

My son has been with Ms. Lisa for over a year now and we both adore her so much! She is patient and kind which is exactly what any GREAT teacher should be. He is enthusiastic every day to go to school and be in Ms. Lisa's class. We also love Ms. Paige and Ms. Erica. As we wind down on our time at The Nest I want to thank Ms. Lisa IMMENSELY for being the most AMAZING 1st teacher my child has ever had! She surely set the bar high!!

My daughter has been enrolled at the Archdale location for a few weeks now, she loves it and is thriving! It is truly a beautiful school, the staff and teacher's are all very lovely, big hearts and knowledgeable; while also being professional. High standards are upheld, very progressive and engaging curriculum, wonderful playground and location; very clean, bright and welcoming. I highly recommend to every parent.

The Nest is the first preschool my daughter has attended (3 years old now), so we have incredibly high standards and serious demands. Now that she attended for 4 full weeks, I decided to write my careful review. First, the administrative staff is very attentive and knowledgeable. Both Angela and Beth have always been accessible and willing to take my calls or messages, especially the first few weeks when my child was transitioning to preschool from being at home for three years. I was in contact with them every day for two full weeks, and they never made me feel like I was overreacting or pestering them. I could tell that they cared about catering to me and my child. Second, the teachers are super kind and supportive. Shout-out to Ms. Hallie and Ms. Lisa for being so patient and helpful as my deeply feeling child transitioned from being the only child in the room to one of many. My girl talks about her teachers all the time and truly loves them. Third, the facilities are well maintained and secure. The double code entry doors put my mind at ease and the facility is very clean. I also really like the updates in the Procare app to see what my child is doing, whether she is eating, and LOVE the pictures of her throughout the day. Overall, the Nest Schools Archdale is the right place for my child and my family and has exceeded my expectations, earned my trust, and gained my enthusiasm. It's worth the money for the peace of mind they provide and quality of their programs.

Both of my grandchildren go to The Nest. I love the way they keep me up to date all on of the activities during the day. Whether it's when and what they eat, bathroom habits or the wonderful hands on learning activities they do, I'm always up to date and in the know. I have gotten some awesome photos from the ones they take almost daily. I would recommend this daycare to anyone. Love the fact that my grandchildren have the opportunity to attend this daycare in Archdale. So welcoming , safe and convenient.

They are amazing Always friendly Facility is always so clean! My daughter loves it here. I was so nervous about her going to daycare when she was still a infant her infant teachers was absolutely Amazing ❤️ she loves going to daycare. It is very important for us as parents to have the peace of mind knowing our babies are taking care of when we have to let someone else care for them while we work.

Buyer beware of Lava Table $4100-5500, the stainless steel is not mirror like, the polishing process has not been done properly and shows circular sanding patterns all thru the face and front of this item. Also, huge return fees IF they accept the return/shipping costs too. Basically, once you've purchased it, they are done with you.

We have been purchasing from Phillips Collection for decades. They have the most amazing selection of unique products. Great prices, and excellent customer service. I highly recommend.

We love our grey stone origins dining table from Philipps collection as well as our petrified wood coffee table!!! They were super great to work with (friendly and made it easy) and everything came on time - we have some side decor pieces as well and we always get compliments on how awesome the pieces are as each one is original and real wood so they are super special!! Highly recommend!!

My experience with The Phillips Collection was incredible. Thanks to Jason and his entire team for helping us by answering questions, suggesting alternative options to what we thought we’d like and ultimately assisting us with the experience. WILL BUY AGAIN!

I have several pieces of furniture from Phillips Collection in both my home and office. They are all not only beautiful but exceptional quality. My dining room table in particular receives so many comments from visitors to my home - everyone wants to know where it's from!

Phillips Design really shows great attention to detail on all their designs. The customer service and quality work sets them apart from the competition.

Love using Phillips Collection on my projects. Unique products, great customer service and my clients have never been disappointed 👍👍

Lisa watched my daughter from 7 weeks old to almost 3 years old. The ONLY reason we left was for job changes. Lisa did absolutely amazing with my daughter. Lisa puts her heart and soul into teaching and loving these children! You truly can see how much she cares.

Lisa is wonderful with the kids. She has watched my grandson since he was a baby. We could not ask for a better person to take care of him. She takes the time to teach them and helping prepare them for kindergarten. She is very loving, patience and kind. Walker loves to be with her and around the other kids. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a daycare. She is not just someone who takes care of my grandson she has become family too us and we love her!!!!

Lisa is absolutely amazing! She has an amazing environment for the children, the arts and crafts she does daily are amazing. They have outside time daily, my son learned so much from her. She is the sweetest, most caring , down to earth care taker. I highly recommend her to every single person I come in contact with ! I have never felt so much peace leaving my son with anyone other than my parents and she is amazing !

I have personally knew the owner Lisa and her wonderful family since 2012 & wouldn’t want anyone else to care for my children! She runs a Christian based in home daycare that is filled with fun activities to keep your child busy and learning to be on track for Kindergarten! If you are trying to decide where to send your child aged 0-5 give Lisa a call to discuss your family’s individual needs as she is very flexible! She does an awesome job at teaching kids to problem solve, potty training, & nurturing your babies as if they were her own which I feel is very important while we are working and are unable to live on our babies!

I am a retired Child Care and Preschool Center Director with 30 years experience. My granddaughter, Emory, went to Little Blessings Child Care, a small in-home program, from infancy through age five prior to starting in public school. The owner/operator and Director, Lisa Grooms, provides a safe environment offering sound educational and moral foundations. This is a North Carolina state-licensed four-star program. Emory was always loved, well-cared for and was well-prepared for school. Lisa's Little Blessings Child Care is an excellent place for children to grow and learn. I highly recommend it!

So many great things I can say about this in home Christian based daycare. Lisa does a wonderful job caring for these children and makes sure all of their needs are met. Very good nutrition plan and works hard with each individual child to prepare them for pre-K/Kindergarten. Very trustworthy and reliable. I would recommend this daycare over any facility in the area.

My daughter was part of the Little Blessings family from the time she was 5 months old until she started kindergarten...owner/director Lisa Grooms, provides a safe and loving environment while still making sure each child gets the age appropriate education needs. There is no place I would take her. Everyone becomes one of the family.
