    If you are looking for a local getaway with the kids that is fairly inexpensive and fun then Tucker…read moreLake is the place for you! Upon pulling up we were greeted with a welcoming smile and an explanation of the ins and outs of the facility. We opted to pay 2 extra dollars to park within the gates ( because it was shady) but in the end feel that this was not really worth it for us that day. It was actually further away from the beach area. However, if you plan on grilling it will get your vehicle right next to the picnic tables and grills. There is a snack bar that is decently priced. There is also the opportunity to buy water toys. It wasn't too crowded and there appeared to be an adequate number of lifeguards monitoring the area. The bathrooms were surprisingly clean and there were also port-o-lets placed strategically around the parking lot. There are several water slides, a tarzan swing, and a slippery floating obstacle course. Bring sunscreen, towels, sandals( the sand is hot) and some beach chairs too! Next time we go we will take advantage of the grills! Overall tons of fun and we were able to spend several hours there!

    I went to Tucker Lake with my friends and paid $20 per person. We were excited to spend the day…read moretogether in the water....unfortunately, as soon as we got in, the fish began biting us. It was not a soft nibble. It was a bite and they did not stop. I asked the lifeguard if they knew of this problem and he told me 'yes' and he recommended not to keep moving around. The fish are getting bigger and hungrier and the owners know it is an issue yet they keep check g $20 per person and not letting people know of the problem. Do not take your families to this place untold they handle this issue.

    I would love to give this gym 5 stars but the outdated building is what keeps me from doing so. I…read morehave been a student at NC State for 4 years and I love this place! The workers are friendly and helpful, and the facility has a lot to offer. The aquatics center in particular is fantastic, the depth of the pool at it's deepest is 11 ft, and at the shallowest is 4 ft. For members there are times during the week and on the weekend for "kids swim" so that all members of the family can join! The basketball courts were recently redone this past year (2014) so that NC State's team could practice there for a few months, so they are really fantastic to play on. All and all I have had a great experience with this gym, it is very popular among students and almost never too crowded to break a good sweat. Definitely check it out! Even if you're not a member I believe the price for a day-pass is $10 which is pretty reasonable!

    So I used to be a student at NC State and I cannot believe that I never checked this place out when…read moreI was in school. I lived off campus, so I always went home straight after my classes and omg when I found out about Carmichael's classes and facilities, I was like "Man, I was missing out the whole time!!". Couple of my friends started going to the gym and they dragged my ass one day and that's how I found about Carmichael's classes. I get bored super quick if I have to workout by myself, but I can take classes over and over as long as there are some people around me. My favorite classes are body pump and cardio dance. Becca and Jenna are my fav teachers and all of teachers are really nice. They motivate you throughout the entire class and I'm telling you, these classes? phew! a great workout! You may think that meh, school classes.. but I think classes that they offer here are the best & most fun classes I've taken in the Triangle by far. Reasonable price for member, lots of classes you can take and I love their facilities(omg you should see their treadmills! you can watch Netflix, do your SNS, watch TV, and so much more!!!). Also, they offer lots of fun events every Friday called Happy Hour! If you have a family member who goes to NCSU, I def recommend you to try them out!
