    Wonder Childhood Discovery - Child exploring indoor play area

    We did our little boys 3rd birthday at Wonder and can't say enough good things about our…read moreexperience! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a stunning welcome sign and balloons, which immediately made us feel both taken care of and truly celebrated. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, making the day not only stress-free but genuinely special for everyone. As a working mom juggling a side business, I cannot express how much I appreciated the simplicity and ease the team provided. Our guests were thrilled, especially since we were able to enjoy both indoor and outdoor playtime. It was fantastic watching the kids explore, laugh, and make memories in a space so well designed for fun and connection. We regularly visit Wonder for playdates with our littles, and it never fails to deliver a delightful experience. The staff is always warm and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere that encourages families to truly unplug and reconnect. If anyone is searching for a spot to bond with their kids and take a break from the distractions of daily life, Wonder is the place to be. Spending a few hours here, watching your children's eyes light up, is such a gift.

    I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately this was one of those experiences where I…read moreleft genuinely wishing I could get my money back. We paid around $23 for one child and two adults, plus more than $10 for parking, so we were already over $30 for the visit. At that price point, I expected a clean, thoughtfully maintained, safe-feeling children's space with enough activities to make the outing worthwhile. That was not our experience. My biggest concern was cleanliness and maintenance. For a place centered around young children touching, climbing, splashing, and exploring everything, cleanliness should be a major priority. The outdoor water-play areas, including the water table and mud kitchen, had water that looked old and dirty. We didn't even arrive particularly late in the day, so I was surprised they were already in that condition. I didn't feel comfortable letting my toddler really play with them, which was disappointing considering those are some of the main outdoor activities. The outdoor area in general did not feel especially well maintained. There were also a lot of bees around while we were there. I completely understand that bees are part of being outdoors and aren't always something a business can control, but combined with the dirty water-play areas and the overall condition of the space, it added to the feeling that I needed to constantly watch where my child was stepping and touching rather than being able to relax and let her explore. Safety was another concern for me. The building is an older house, and it honestly feels like an old house that has been converted into a children's play space rather than a space intentionally designed for small children. The stairs made me especially nervous with a young toddler and felt like a fall waiting to happen. I also noticed exposed/open outlets and visible cords or cables in areas accessible to children. When you're bringing a walking toddler somewhere specifically designed for play, you really shouldn't have to spend the entire visit scanning the environment for potential hazards. The space itself is also much smaller than I expected. There are essentially only about four main play areas, and even though there were very few people there during our visit, it still felt limited. I honestly can't imagine how crowded it would feel if several families were there at the same time. I also don't think this is particularly well suited for children under 3. A somewhat older child might enjoy the pretend-play or DIY-style activities more, but for a younger toddler there simply wasn't enough to do to justify the admission price. A lot of the installations also felt inexpensive, homemade, or worn rather than like the quality I would expect from a paid children's attraction. The staff checked us in, but beyond that there wasn't much interaction, and the overall experience wasn't particularly warm or welcoming. I know every family values different things, and another child may have a completely different experience. But for us, between the cleanliness concerns, safety concerns, very limited number of activities, small space, outdoor water areas that did not feel sanitary, and the total cost after parking, I just cannot recommend it, especially for toddlers. There are so many wonderful parks, play spaces, classes, museums, and children's activities in the Loudoun area. Compared with what else you can do locally for the same amount of money, or even for free, this just did not feel worth it at all. Unfortunately, we definitely would not return

    If you love camping, either with family, some friends, or on a personal sojourn, Gary's is where…read moreyou will find yourself, figuratively and literally. I want it all to myself, but I'm still compelled to tell others about this gem because of the way it has stuck me. Sitting atop the the Cacapon Mountains of West Virginia is a tucked away but easy to find respite that features exclusive mountain views, deciduous beauty, well marked trails, and recreation for kids, couples, and the solo traveler. I personally have enjoyed huge and manicured tent sights....camper and RV hook ups....and lodge-style cabins with cable, internet, and streaming services. Want the woods to rock you to sleep? Done. Want to drift off in a queen bed to your favorite binge show? Done. Want a lodge with a game room for the kids next to a fully stocked library with lounge chairs and wifi? Done! Want your kids to catch sunnies, large mouths, catfish, and wait for it...goldfish??? DONE!! Choose your adventure!

    From the owner: 35 tent and RV sites with electric and water hookups. Also available: a 2-bedroom cottage, 2 small…read morecabins, and a bunk house. 60 acres of wooded land for all that Great Cacapon has to offer! Activities include: hiking trails and mountain biking trails (intermediate), horseshoe pits, pool table, redneck golf, and many more outdoor and indoor games. Go fishing in our stocked pond (catch and release) and check out our Koi Pond. We also have a reading room and library for those who want to sit near the fire and read or work on a puzzle or two. For our tent campers, we feature flush toilets, hot showers, and a laundry room available 24 hours a day. We are open all year round, however during the freezing winter months, water will only be on at the main lodge and at a couple of frost-free hand washing stations. Our dump station, showers, laundry room, flush toilets, and hot showers are always open. This location is excellent for weddings, family reunions, and other events. Our main lodge includes a pool and game room, camp store with antiques, beverages, TVs, and free Wifi. Note: Wifi is not available throughout the campground. Pets must be on a leash at all times. Tent camping starts at $30 and RV at $47 per night.

The tour is aimed at what children want, is rapid fire, shows kids what there is to do and that it is not only alright, but expected that they will push the buttons, sound the horns, ring the bells, touch and try, and generally have a good time. No hard sell here, just encouragement of fun. The show itself -- and I've seen several -- is delightful and captivating. No hushing the kids as laughter and responses called out are encouraged. Not rowdy or noisy, just fun and interactive. After the show you get to meet the puppets and see how they work. Discussion and questions are welcomed. I've taken my grandchildren and other kids ranging from toddlers to 10 year olds, including a three year old on the autism spectrum, and they all had a blast. Be sure to budget time after the show because the kids will definitely want to explore some more and try out everything from funny sunglasses to wear to photo boards. The owner is an art teacher at an area elementary school and has a real affinity for children. Will take the time to engage with them, draw their favorite creature on the balloon they receive at the end of the show, and generally make them feel comfortable and happy. What are you waiting for? Go to the next performance, you won't regret it and you will return.

    Swann House - Solarium was super relaxing at night with a good book or to breakfast quietly away from dining room in the morning.

    My boyfriend and I stayed here for a couple nights on a recent vacation to DC. The staff was…read morenoticeably nice and would inquire if we needed anything whenever we crossed paths. They also went above and beyond for us when we arrived. We got there three hours before check-in and asked if we could leave our bags so we could start exploring and come back later to check in. They checked that our room was already clean and offered to let us check-in early without any fees or extra hassle. I couldn't believe it; that was so nice of them. It let us have more time to enjoy the city which we loved. We stayed downstairs in the Shanghai room. It was cute and cozy. I loved the shower and the robes to use during our stay. The bed was also very comfortable with extra pillows in the closet. Breakfast was good. The first morning was spinach florentine. The second day was a lovely dish with asparagus, phyllo, and a mushroom sauce. This is in addition to a continental style breakfast. The sunroom has complimentary beverages available. I took advantage of the coffee, tea, and lemonade. They also have a water cooler. This was really handy because they provide a couple bottles of water in your room when you check in. It was so easy to refill the plastic bottles so we had water to take with us; that was perfect for the morning we went to the zoo. They also have sherry and snacks in the afternoon. All in all, this has been one of my favorite places that I've stayed when traveling. I've already recommended it to another woman I work with who is planning to travel to DC with her husband later this year. I'm looking forward to coming back in the future as well.

And the entire first floor is all shared common spaces that made me feel like a super fancy old-timey aristocrat lounging around without a care in the world... which is pretty tough to achieve given it's the year 2025 in DC! Highly recommend for a special trip or staycation.
