Everyone was super friendly, had a great time walking through the pits and looking at the cars before racing started at 6. I was surprised at how many people were there. We used to bracket race in Jacksonville, NC and I would guess they would maybe 20 cars and 100 people there on a busy night. Not sure how many people were there but I would guess at least 200 cars racing and 1000 plus people. Super busy super fun!

Many make believe stations like hospital, news station, car shop etc. Also water play and an indoor carousel (separated tix, only 4 times per hour, disinfect afterwards).

Most of the games are well-maintained and fun to play, which is a heck of an accomplishment when most of the games are as old as I am. I did get somewhat annoyed that my kiddo and I had sat at the bar when nobody was there so we could eat and drink and then we left our drinks on the bar since we were still drinking and they were very cold. We came back a few minutes later and sat back in the seats with our drinks and the new bartender told us that my kiddo couldn't sit there since it was 21 and older only. Okay, that's annoying, but we grabbed our sodas and moved to the table beside the bar, BUT THEN a dad and his kid come up and sit at the bar... and she serves them without chasing them off... So... apparently it's only SOME 12 year olds can't sit at the bar with their parents? Or maybe only the ones whose parents are drinking cocktails and not ones who are drinking diet sodas and eating fries? Also, the bar is HUGE and it is not at all crowded on a random weekend afternoon. And even though there are tables and cup holders near every gaming station, my kiddo has ASD and he is a wanderer, so we left our food and drinks at our table, and they change bartenders about every two hours, so our table got bussed by the new bartender and we had our almost entirely full basket of funnel cake fries and drinks thrown away. The sodas got remade, which was nice, but also... that's like $8 out of $11 worth of funnel cake fries that got tossed. Not like we can walk around with those at the small gaming tables. So I wish there was a little "I'm still gaming, please don't throw away my food." Coaster or something you could put on the table so they know not to waste your food. Or avoid ordering greasy bar food unless you can eat it all in one sitting, which... isn't always easy. I would absolutely come back and play the heck out of the games. I would just probably eat first next time.

It was family friendly but not much to keep my toddler entertained. If they would have had a jump house of something I'm sure we would have lasted longer. #2 It seems like it would get packed quick. We left before that happened. So if you want to park close to the venue you need to get there early. If not there was a shuttle to additional parking. There were 3 different stages where people were playing. Every 20 minutes there was someone else going on. There was an open mic stage outside. The other 3 were inside. There were a few different places to get beer. One set up looked like a bar and had a few tables close by. A few people just started jammin together as others gathered around and drank and watched. Outside there were a few different options for food. 3 food trucks and 3 food stands. They had beer outside with a tent and a few tables to sit. It seems like when the place gets packed at the end of the night that everyone would be out there. They had 2 Legend beers a cider and Bud Light.

Red Vein was a lot of fun, and this was a great first time experience!…read more While I have done a number of the haunts local to the Richmond area, this was my first time at Red Vein. I had heard it was one of the better ones and they certainly delivered. A bit under $25 gets you a bit over an hour's scare-ntertainment, which is a lot per hour but it's a jam-packed hour so it works. When you arrive, there are employees directly traffic to parking, which are unmarked grass spaces. Front workers were nice and a handful of scarers were walking around to psyche folks up for the experience. You end up waiting in a few lines here and there: ticket purchase, front gate, and then a line for each of the four experiences, all tied together with a sort of loose cult/corporate storyline. Each one is a lot of fun and there are plenty of clever layouts and props to keep you guessing about where the next scare will come from. One of the toughest things to do at these places is pace lines, since if folks get squished together the scarers can't reset effectively. Unfortunately we happened to be behind the slowest group known to man and in front of a group of scared teens who could not wait to be done with the whole thing. This took away from the experience a bit but I chock it up to bad luck rather than Red Vein. Ultimately this turned out to be an awesome place to commemorate spooky season and I would absolutely do it again next year! Overall: 4.5 stars ---- Pros: - Great staff, both the front workers and the scare crew. - Fun experience with a lot of variety and creativity. - Great logical flow to the setup to try to pace things better. - Lots of parking. Cons: - Sometimes bad luck in group placement will hinder your experience, and while that happened to us, hopefully it won't to you. - Price isn't terrible but it is a lot for a brief experience. - Making a more permanent parking setup (or at least spraying some lines in the grass) would go a long way to making entrance and exit better.

They also have a bus and fire truck to explore, a water area, climbing and building toys, STEM activities, and a play set with slide. A special sectioned area for the toddlers is in the back. While not a large space, this museum is enjoyable and it's a great option for indoor play for little kids. They allow parties in a small room near the front. We've been a couple of times and enjoyed this place. Prices are very reasonable and they offer a military discount.

The atmosphere is always lively, the staff is welcoming, and the beer is always flowing to enjoy while watching the game. It's a great local experience that never disappoints. The promotions are always a blast, the fireworks nights are fantastic, and it really captures the classic minor league charm. The tickets are cheap and the mascot is cool. I think catching a game is one of the best things to do in Richmond.

Given that it is the off-season, teams usually have a significant clearance section due to incoming merchandise for their new season. As luck would have it, I was right; several hats and shirts were 40-50% off. Plus, I had the opportunity to ask some questions with the team's staff. They mentioned that I needed to return for the 2025 season; plus, they're building a new stadium called CarMax Park, which will open in 2026. Also, you can't miss the stadium; I mentioned to the staff that it looks as if someone dropped a section of Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium in Richmond.
