So many fun things for them to do, and very reasonably priced. Tickets were $1 each. The train and carousel took 2 tickets each. All other rides only took one ticket.

We came here with our two year old granddaughter on a Friday late afternoon. There were almost no…read morepeople here, which was great. This was our first time on any rides, and we went on the train first. The train made four laps around the track. For the first two lapse, our granddaughter was getting used to the train. By the third lap, she was OK and started pointing things out and enjoying it. By the fourth lap, it was all smiles and excitement. We also bought a ticket for the boats, and we're the only people there. But she was not ready to ride by herself, so that got nixed. We were going to get tickets for the carousel but the little one was getting tired so we left to head home. All of the people working there were super polite and friendly. The park was spotless and well maintained. The cost of the rides was only a dollar or a dollar fifty, which is a steal. They had snacks beside the ticket booth, but we didn't have any. All in all, this is a wonderful place for families or even couples to just enjoy the beauty. Five stars all day long!

The main falls are two miles uphill from the parking lot, but the entire journey is a series of eminently worthwhile sights and sounds. Signs warned of challenging currents for anyone taking a dip in the water, which some people did. I would note that when I arrived a rescue operation was underway and emergency services did drive someone by me with what thankfully appeared okay. There are trails on one elevated bank and one closer to the water, as well as some offshoots and extensions. It's a great stretch of forest where you could easily spend more time than the couple of hours I did.

There were a couple of bridges across the river. Some rocky waters make for interesting viewing. Upon stepping off the path to a sandy shore, I was greeted by a snake that I could not immediately identify but which thankfully decided to leave on its own. Having driven through the Danville area once before and missed the riverfront, I wish I'd had the chance to pull over for a bit. It's not quite as impressive as Richmond's waterfront, but it's a nice area.

Safari nation was a HIT!…read more Truly a kids paradise-- Safari Nation has a lot to offer. Today's visit was our first. You're first struck in awe at this gargantuan structure you think they pulled straight out of Richie Rich's mansion. This place is flooded with pure entertainment for toddlers, kids, teenagers (and adults). My 2.5yr old spent quite a bit of time everywhere, to the tune of three hours. The toddler room was a great toe-dip into what would come next, allowing her to set her pace while playing with the rotating stations, alphabet blocks, the seesaw and teddy bear slide. Then came the gigantic playpen, a kids dream. Packing two separate sections, both accommodated with their own unique slide, for endless fun. Three levels of obstacles and circus-like contraptions made our play date one we can't forget. Arcade is modest, just enough to keep the younger children happy. Concession stand had plenty to offer.. we refueled ourselves with some goldfish and choose two flavors of the slushees. We had dinner plans but I would consider having a meal here. The zip line, bumper cars and VR experience looked cool but were not in operation. The staff was super friendly and attentive. We had such a great time, we're even adding them to the candidates for her next birthday party!

They have a smaller area for kids who may not want to climb. It's enclosed with one entrance and exit to this area which is ideal for smaller children. The main play area is a large jungle gym/obstacle course with plenty of games, slides, zip lines, and things to climb within the course to enjoy. There are arcade games along the exterior of the walls with additional seating to watch the children play. There is a concession stand that sells all the bells and whistles (nachos with cheese, popcorn, pizza, slushy drinks, chips, candy and etc. the party rooms are super cute and spacious.

Lots of ramps throughout for those who are playing in the park in wheelchairs or who have trouble walking. Awesome. Lots of climbing frames and slides and fun things to do, all of it in bright primary colors. The park is in excellent condition with lots of shade. The park is in a small depression area which means that it's really easy for parents to keep an eye on their kids and harder for the kids to wander off.
