It's was very informative. My favorite part was the looking at the beekeepers . I was just amazed at how beekeeping is done. We were able to get a wonderful discount by showing either your WIC or EBT CARD. It was a great experience and I plan to go a few times a year.

New…read morehighlights I've noticed since I have two small kiddos is the various bench seating options which make having a snack easy and the multiple bathroom locations throughout museum. Both of these things make it more enjoyable for kids and adults. It is not crowded during the week. My kids especially liked the Dino exhibit and live animals (snapping turtle, ground hog, owl). I just wish for a city the size of Charlotte (and surrounding area) that the museum was a little bigger. We were done in about 1-1.5hours

Particularly enjoyed the dinosaur exhibit with all of the life size dinosaurs exhibits. Parking was easy. My only suggestion would be updating the outdoor area as it seemed quite run down and showing alot of wear, which was totally not the case with the indoor areas

My daughter can't stop talking about the hayride with the prettiest horses she had ever seen! I love that it's a mixture of learning and playing, Kids didn't realize it at all.

They have Pony rides for the kids, and that was a big hit, Several mazes and fun zones to play in are scattered around. I very much enjoyed the wagon ride around the property. The wagon was pulled by 2 big, beautiful draft horses, and it was my first time on a ride like this.

I went to the Charlotte Fair with my mom, sister, and my friends in March 2026, and I got to say,…read moreit was great! We started out at easy parking, we checked in, then we went on some rides, like the zero gravity rides, the one that go upside down, and a lot more! Until we rode this ride that was themed to a taxi, as soon as the ride started, it was fast, it was so fast that I felt NAUSEOUS, I ran to find a hidden trash can so I could empty out my guts, then I felt nauseated for like 45 minutes until I felt fine again, then I went in a couple fun houses before we rode more rides, I rode the roller coaster at the park and it was FUN! After we rode the roller coaster, we got some hot dogs, and I prayed that I wouldn't get sick again, they me and my friend rode some more rides, and then it started to get dark so we head out and it was fun, I loved it and I hope I can go back soon

After picking up my nephew's friends, we all headed to the fair. We went on a Saturday afternoon around 3pm. Parking wasn't nearly as bad as I thought. After I unloaded my car filled with 13-year-olds, we walked a very short distance to the front gate. I ordered everyone's ticket in advance online, so after their wristbands were put on, we breezed right in. The rides were super fun and appeared to be similar to Carowinds rides...meaning they were more sturdy than the average small-fair ride. There were lots of games, prizes, eating options, and a performance area. This fair left nothing on the table. It was worth the price. We will surely return next year!

Don't spend your money here. There was a wedding reception getting set up and there was a sign that…read morestated "don't go beyond this point". There was never a sign not To park in a particular area. The lady got rude to a customer who wanted to go to the corn maze because she parked in the wrong area. There were no signs stating where we couldn't park...She stated "you're not welcome here" and proceeded to call the police. This place is not stroller friendly. The maze was poorly put together(see pictures below). Some areas were ok. I'm sure there are better mazes

The corn maze is amazing. I mean I gave up 1/2 way thru., I'll just let the kids and cousins finish…read moreit because it's huge.. Good thing is they change it every year! How awesome! Setting; 5/5 this place is huge and spacious! The the games are spread out so it doesn't feel like we're on top of each other. Came out on a Sunday morning so it's not crowd yet! Games: 4/5 it has a little of every thing for everybody. 3 to 4 bouncy houses for the kids. You have to play $5 for entry! The maze ($$) and the hayride which show you the whole Historic Rural Hill, and my goodness this place is huge! Food: 4/5 one food truck and little snack for the kiddos. And in the back end, there's wine and beers for the adults. I was hoping there will be more food trucks because Bebo's Mac Shack is good but their Mac and cheese can be a bit heavy and hearty on a day you're trying to run after the kids! Overall the kiddos enjoy themselves and were dead tired when we headed home!!! GOAL!

This was our second time coming to the Strawberry Festival. The last time we went was 8-10 years…read moreago. We enjoyed ourselves each time. Tips: Arrive first thing when they open to avoid traffic and finding a spot to park. They have several different lots to choose from - some will shuttle you or others are a short walk. We chose the lot with the short walk. Bring cash for this - it's $5. Arriving early allows you to walk around to each of the vendors before it gets slammed just to check things out. Lines for food started early, so if you think about having lunch at 12, be prepared for long lines. We had no issues with vendors accepting credit card or cash. Bring water. We brought our hydroflask filled with water and ice which was nice because it gets warm fast. What I love: That each vendor had at least one menu item featuring strawberries - whether it is a dessert or a meal. If you love strawberries like me, you can find a lot of great items to fill you up! Look forward to it again next year, it's a great time!

AMAZING fun time for the whole family! Great food selection from many LOCAL food establishments…read morethat have their own trucks. A standard set of faire food too... YES on the FUNNEL CAKE! A good set of rides for kids aged 8-12 years old. Prices are carnival-level... not cheap... but understandable. LOTS of lawn and grass areas to hang out. LOTS of police and safety folks very visible. All the tent vendors are in the shade, so it was easy and nice to walk around and visit them out from the sun. LOTS of toilets... AND a physical toilet building for those that dont like the plastic portable toilets. There is a NEW kids area they built in the park and they had it fenced in so the kids would not be running away and out of parent control, it was like a mini-day-care. Excellent selection of local and appropriate music to listen to that was at appropriate volume levels to be able to enjoy. Parking was difficult, but there were bus shuttles to the local school that ran every few minutes, so that was helpful. They had a classic car show, that was fun to walk around. I think they should have had more 'competition' style activities.

I love the taxidermied animals and a great learning experience for kids for different terrains and the animals and plants that grown within them. There are tables to investigate more and many books and information! I have yet to be in the planetarium as they are limited in show times. My kids really enjoy the kids room too- kitchen area, puppets, blocks galore. A safe and fun space for kids of all ages (probably best for those under 6). Most employees very nice - one lady was getting on kids in kids area to clean up behind themselves in a strict manner. Cute gift shop for local gifts. I would love to see an upgrade to the outside of the building to be more welcoming and maybe something's done outside -- garden, bird houses, etc. For it to represent all of York County a few upgrades would be great!!

I was scammed at the…read morefair by two vendors making fraud charges on my card .. both at a funnel cake place and a candy apple place . I took my partner and her son and wanted to get a wristband so he can ride whatever , he has autism and I wanted him to go on the rides at his own pace . Lady was rude and said there were no Armand's not mentioning the place to buy them was right around the corner . (We saw this after buying the tickets ) Also the child with autism waited an hour to ride the roller coaster and they made him leave bc the ride broke down (it was fixed only 2 mins later ) and he had to wait all over again , they could've let him have his spot back . The swings operator was horrible a group of teenagers got in front of all of us in line (there were at least 15) and they let them through to ride and didn't say a word .. it was rude and disrespectful. The positive review I'd have to say is always cullers . They have the best vinegar fries that I look forward to when I go . Candy apples were great and my partner loved the fat Albert game even though we didn't win , just watching the little mouse was super fun .. Word of advice : don't bring your debit card .. ever . Use cash for everything, I ended up having to dispute over $80 of fraud activities on my account :(
