After three years at another BJJ studio that was not the right fit, we knew it was time to find a…read moreschool that would truly elevate our son's skills and confidence. We were looking for strong competition training, real structure, solid belt progression, and a culture that would help him grow both on and off the mat. From the moment we walked into Gracie Barra Boca, we felt the difference. The environment was organized, professional, focused, and positive. We were warmly welcomed, introduced to Enzo & the coaches, and my son immediately felt comfortable and at home. I love that they had my son sign his own contract. That is super empowering & teaches accountability. What has stood out most is how knowledgeable the coaches are and how clearly they teach technique. They break down skills in a way that makes sense, correct mistakes quickly, and truly pay attention to detail. You can tell they know what they are doing and care about developing strong athletes. My son had a tough first competition experience at his previous school that shook his confidence. The move he lost on stuck with him. By day three at Gracie Barra Boca, that exact move had already been corrected and sharpened. Three days. The level of instruction and focus is impressive. In just a few days, his confidence has already shifted. He walks in proud & excited. He feels capable. He loves being there. I've noticed his confidence spread out into other things in his life from being here. If you are looking for a BJJ school that builds confident competitors, teaches discipline, and provides structured, high level training, Gracie Barra Boca is it. We are so grateful we made the switch!

My kids go here for aftercare, lessons, and summer camp. They absolutely love this place!…read more The staff is great with kids and really cares about them and their development. The entire team takes great care of them. They love the lessons and are learning amazing skills. We have also done Saturday morning family classes, which are an outstanding way to connect with your kids. They tried 6 different camps, and this was by far their favorite. I can't say enough good things about the programs and staff. My kids are 8 & 10 (girl and boy).

I felt welcomed and everyone there were all really cool guys who were extremely knowledgeable and helped me with technique, positoning, they all literally answered every question I had! The only reason I give 4 starts is because there is a 40$ drop in fee which after buying a rash guard to support the gym means 95$ for a class and a souvenir. I'd love to go again but at that price it just is too much for me unfortunately but I would 100% pop in for a class again next time I'm down here! Thanks everyone in the class for helping me out and making me feel comfortable on my first ever drop in to a gym!

You can also rent it out for birthday parties. This is an affordable option for families who cannot afford the large theme parks. I paid $4 per child for admission. The staff was professional and worked hard to keep track of abiding by capacity rules by using a system similar to restaurant reservations where you receive a text message when it's your swim time. There was a Hour and 15 min wait for the Memorial Day holiday. We remained in the waiting area which has a television for kids to enjoy a movie while waiting. My daughter loved the large yellow slide and whirl pool. We intend to visit again. Loved how professional the front desk staff and life guards were. A must do when in Raleigh.

The 3-mile loop gave me the perfect mix of cardio, scenery, and just enough challenge to keep things interesting. The trail is mostly paved and very well maintained, but there are also a few off-road paths if you want to switch things up. The lake views are gorgeous throughout the walk, and the heavily wooded sections make it feel peaceful and shaded even on warmer days. I also appreciated that the trail has a few solid uphill stretches. I'd say it's ideal for intermediate walkers, runners, or cyclists looking for a scenic challenge without venturing into hardcore hiking territory. The only downside is the parking situation, which can get pretty tight during busy hours. Still, once you're on the trail, it's absolutely worth it. Raleigh really lucked out with this gem of a park.

Perfect for families and small children. You can access the beach on Creedmoor Rd. This was the perfect place for a convenient beach day 4th of July weekend. It saved me the 4 hour trip to Bear Island. I arrived early around 10:30 a.m. and there were no crowds. We camped out near the showers and bathrooms. This park is perfectly lined with trees in abundance. Perfect for barbecuing. We enjoyed our morning picnic and the water was very relaxing. I appreciate how clean the sand area was and the garbage was well organized as well. I brought my mother who is 72 and I had concerns about the proximity of the restrooms and showers and overall access. I was relieved to discover how convenient the beach access was for those with mobility impairment and disabilities. There are no pets allowed and no alcohol permitted. I watched the park rangers escort someone with a pit bull to the parking lot to return home and a woman was asked to dump out several beer cans. You have been warned. They run a tight ship here. I plan to return throughout the remainder of the summer months.
