Only caveat I would note, which unfortunately not much can be done about, is the seating itself. Because this is an older style theater, the vast majority of the seating is set up in a way that you're having to tilt your head backwards and stare UP at the screen to see the show (unlike that being reserved for the bottom couple rows that nobody sits in at a modern theater). Still a good place to go in a pinch, and again, friendly staff and service, so if you're wanting to check out the latest movie (and don't want to drive into Asheville to see it), check this place out!

As I bought a combo ticket with Unto the Hills and wasn't given a ticket for the Village I arrived with my receipt and ticket for the show. That was scanned and allowed me in. Tours start about every 15 minutes or when a large enough group is formed. The tour is guided and we stopped at stations to learn about weaving; bead work; woodworking. Some of the stops were at dwellings and ritual sites. We saw traps for animals. They had a unique way to catch fish with the trap that was placed in the water. Some of the stops didn't have anyone working so the guide just talked about it. One guide took us on the tour and two separate guides talked with tour groups mixed together about the customs and rituals in the Council House. There was no dancing done at the dance grounds. They did talk about the different tribes.

It was advertised as a professional production but seem to be more amateurish with little planning. The same goes for the food as welll. We tried to find out what the menu would be by contacting the cattier directly. They explained they were busy and would not know what the menu would be until the day before. Now we think we know why. It was probably what was left over from the previous week that know one wanted. A brown and a green curry chicken other than the color they tasted the same. An over dressed wilted salad and red velvet cupcakes that should have been thrown out days before

Asheville Drag Brunch does a great job when they put on a production! I have seen a number of…read moreperformances and they never let me down. Each show has a different menu, so it is hard to rate the food. I have had Biscuit Head Brunch, Sweet Monkey Catering, and even their own catering from "Divine's Kitchen" which is a southern meal of BBQ! I have never been disappointed, there is always enough food to go around and the people serving the food are always helpful and kind! I will continue to go to Asheville Drag Brunch events, plus they are all fundraisers for local charities. I love following their page and going to events that fundraise for things I support- a show, food, and donation is well worth the 25 dollars you pay!

I came to visit Brevard, NC because of the Aluminum Tree museum at Transylvania Heritage Museum…read more The hours on Google and the website indicated that they were open. However, after driving an hour from Asheville. I was disappointingly surprised that they were closed. Not only was I bummed, but it appeared that other patrons as well. My guess is they decided to close on Veterans Day and didn't bother to tell anyone, but themselves. I am not from North Carolina, but live in Texas full time. It would be nice for them to post updated hours that they abide by.

We first walked in and the woman owner was very rude. Saw another review that said it had seemed like they interrupted their lunch and it sure did feel like that. It was almost as if she didn't want to make any money off us? Someone in our group was giving them the benefit of doubt and ordered a tray of tasting wines, every single one tasted expired like it had been opened for years. If I could give zero stars I would. Do not go here.

To begin with, this is one of the most unwelcoming places we have visited…read more We wanted to enjoy an afternoon of wine sampling but changed our minds quickly after entering the facility. A little customer service etiquette and a simple smile would have been a start. The woman who came to meet at us at bar seemed like we were putting her out and being a big bother just to be asking her a question. I don't see how this place could get a rating of 5 when it is so uncomfortable to even enter the premises!! Need to give education on how to welcome people in and present the wines and make us feel comfortable!! We made a long drive for absolutely nothing; have been to many wineries and breweries in areas around Tenn, NC, & Ga. And cans rate them all a 5!! Very miserable experience; glad we walked out before even sitting down!! Can't even rate this place - it's pathetic!! The one star rating should be a -1 !!

What they have done here is quite frankly astounding. A significant portion of the motorcycles on display are still running, and are fired up on a regular basis for patrons to hear, see, and receive the visceral impact of what those bikes are truly like. The bikes are primarily of American heritage, with very few European or Japanese bikes making a showing, but that is alright. The representation of manufacturers, many of them now defunct, is excellent. For any motorcycle enthusiast, this is definitely a place that they should visit at some point. The scenery in the area is amazing for a rider, and the historical heritage that is represented inside this museum is top notch.

Everything in the museum runs and they will start anything for you. They have employees that go around and ask if you have any questions about anything on display. Two floors filled with awesomeness! They also have a gift shop area filled with goodies to take home with you. The employees there are very friendly and helpful. Also, they are currently raffling off a motorcycle that you can have a chance to win. Lastly I want to mention that they switch out the displays so if you've been here before they are always adding in new stuff. Do yourself a favor and go check this place out!

There's plenty of parking, clean restrooms, an indoor museum with a gift shop, the Mountain Farm Museum, hiking trails, and a large pasture where you might have the opportunity to see elk. We had a quick stop over so we didn't get to explore too much of the area, especially because we had our dog with us and it was quite a hot day. The indoor museum was curated well and was informative on the life in the Appalachians. The gift shop was nice, well stocked, and had plenty of options. I always buy something from National Park centers as a donation. I bought a sticker, a patch, and a magnet. They also have stamps for your National Park Passports, too!

There were baby birds screaming from a nest above the bathroom, too, which was bonus wildlife since I saw a bear slightly further in, but no elk this time!
