Myself and a group of girls (total of 8) came out to Blue Ridge this weekend to celebrate our…read morefriend's Bachelorette party and the bride to be LOVES escape rooms so of course we were excited to see there was one in town! Having 8 people in an escape room may seem like a lot, but they did have a room that had a 8 person max - and it was the Wizard School of Magic room! This was really fun because a few of the girls in the group love Harry Potter and it's a good thing, cause we definitely needed some of that knowledge! The room was SUPER well done, lots of fun different types of locks and puzzles that I had never seen before in an escape room. The staff was really nice and helpful!! The location was great (on Main street next to all the other restaurants, shops and bars). We were able to escape with 20 min left to spare! We all had a great time and would recommend them if you're ever in town!

We had a really good time at the escape room Staff was very kind and the game was enjoyable. Thx…read moreagain

That is the ONLY positive I can share. The service was BEYOND awful. They treated us like they didn't want us there the entire time. They are NOT kid friendly. We were a low key respectable group.

The staff was sweet and patient even when my littles were rambunctious in the office. We did all the activities except the mini car track(cars not working) and the bounce house. The bounce house had a snake in it which one of the staff removed BY HAND! My children thought this lady was a super hero, lol! It was pretty badass. If you are near Murphy and you have kids, don't skip this place. It seems like one of those places that should be around forever.

We initially found another gem mining place close by. Both options had great reviews but Aska…read moreMining Company was rated slightly higher so we opted for Aska. THE PRICING: I really appreciate that they cater to all budgets by providing a WIDE range of options - buckets range from $10 to $100. We opted for the mid-ish range $35 bucket and crossed our fingers. THE PROCESS: Pick and pay for your bucket, walk outside to find your little sifting station. Shovel a few scoops of sand into the sifter and dip it into the water to separate small particles from large stones, fossils, shark teeth, etc. The gems/fossils seem to magically appear as the small bits of sand is washed away. The kiddos in our group ranged from 11-14 yrs and all left with nearly a full bag of treasures each. A ziplock bag along with a handy reference guide is provided to help identify your goodies as you're sifting. Overall, we were more than pleasantly surprised with the experience and buckets our kiddos selected and sifted through. Yes, the adults in our group even took turns sifting too! We would 100% recommend Aska. I'm kinda curious of the haul you'll get with the $100 bucket - perhaps that's a good option to share with a family/small group. THE STAFF: Friendly and funny. They literally walked us through the process and checked up on us a few times too. THE PARKING: We had no issues parking in front of the store but it's along a main road so keep your kiddos close if they tend to wander & scurry off. Although, you really shouldn't have that problem because I can almost guarantee those kiddos will be engrossed in the sifting. THE SNACKING: Iron Bridge General Store and Cafe is steps away if you're hungry before or after. You can also grab some souvenirs or supplies. TIP: According to their website, they also cater to groups and birthday parties. Enjoy!

Bear came with us and was the perfect pup just chilling and loving all of the attention! The service was great we went to the counter and ordered our drinks. My kiddo even got to have a blue raspberry slushie which made her night she ended up with blue lips and teeth too! They also have a gift shop full of adorable merchandise: cups with the bear claw logo etched on (I got a wine cup lol! ) , cork bracelets (we got two), dog clothes, goat milk soap, t shirts etc. They have lots of seating options indoor tables as well as lots of tables with little fire pits outside and lots of games. On the weekends, they have live music. When we visited artist Russ Stills was there. It was very relaxing and enjoyable. He even came around the audience meeting and greeting with each table and taking requests. This is a fantastic spot to grab a drink and listen to good music and take in the beauty of the vineyard. 10 out of 10 for sure!

Do you remember the golden days of seeing a movie for less than $6?…read more The movie theaters I went to growing up were always super bougie, $7-$12 a ticket, and they were constantly trying to upsell 3D movies and pricey snacks. This historic theater will transport you back to that special time when movie theaters were an affordable weekly affair.
