    I'm still impressed that our family of 4 all paraglided over the 4th of July weekend! I truly…read morethought one of us would chicken out but nope! My 12 y/o went first then my husband then my 9 y/o then me, and we all had a blast! The staff here is excellent. They educated us on all things paragliding and shared their personal stories of travels around the world. Tons of experience amongst all the pilots here. They're like a melting pot too as one of our pilots was from Costa Rica (Justin) and one was from Russia (Alaina). Pretty cool community of people really. As our weekend stay at Bolt Farm Treehouses got closer, we decided to spend the dough on paragliding. It was $200 per person plus we treated our girls with the GoPro for $50 each. I'd say the experience was everything we hoped for and more. As they explained to us, we were at the winds mercy, and the day we flew (7/2/21), the wind gave us about 10 minutes in the air. They had told us the average was 20 minutes. We saw others fly for longer the next day, but you get what you get with the wind. My youngest flew with Austin, and after watching the GoPro video, he was a great fit. She felt very comfortable and he chatted just the right amount. I had Joe as my pilot, and he was older and very experienced. He even let me take the reigns for a few moments as he said he likes to educate others who may want to be a pilot themselves one day! Each of us landed as planned in the fields below, gathered up the gear, and hopped on the bus to drive back up the mountain. This drive was my least favorite part as I suddenly felt a little green, but luckily they had a case of water bottles that saved me. Due to the price, I don't know that we'd ever become frequenters of paragliding. My girls would love it though as they both immediately asked to do it again! I heard there are only so few places in the world to paraglide, so I'm glad we found this one right around the corner from Bolt Farm where we were staying. Overall, I highly recommend this experience. Perhaps one day, we'll take up lessons to pursue being a pilot, but for now, we're just excited to have shared this experience. Thanks, Bolt Farm, for the recommendation!

    My daughter and I have been using these guys at North Georgia Aviation for a few months, and they…read morehave been nothing but professional and courteous. They use an online scheduling app for lessons, so you are always in the know on getting your time slots set up with the correct flight instructor and aircraft. Speaking of instructors and staff, Brady Houser has been a superb flight instructor, and Ansley does a great job at the front desk and handling anything we need. It's great working with a team with professionalism and a good dose of humor. I also appreciate the fact that they keep their aircraft and hangar in such tip top shape. You always feel safe and taken care of. You can tell that these folks care about their reputation, and they go the extra mile. Give these guys a shot if you are looking for flight training or to rent an aircraft.

    River Maze is a great place to take the whole family! The…read morecorn maze is huge! It has a fun twist to it that engages the whole family. The property is very stroller friendly. Good quick food, ice cream, and drinks. The pumpkin patch was the highlight for our family. You are taken to it on a hay wagon, and are able to roam through a big field of multiple varieties of pumpkins on the vine. The prices are low in my opinion, $1-$5 ish depending on size. Super nice and helpful staff, and many activities. We drove from Blue Ridge, which made for a beautiful scenic drive along Ocoee River. We will make this trip again.

    Absolutely LOVE this place! If you are looking for a place that your kids can play outdoors (and…read morehave a blast)with beautiful scenery and wonderful, friendly staff then this is it. We love going here every year, it's a highlight for my kids, my youngest constantly talks about going back ALL year long. There are tons of activities for the whole family, great food (especially the homemade icecream) and they are continuously making improvements. We love the great opportunities for pictures, and they even have a Sunflower field(when in season) where you can have pictures made. We highly recommend this place and look forward every year to returning. You have to remember you're also supporting a local, beautiful family who truly care about your experience and are always willing to listen and accommodate. We HIGHLY recommend!!
