If you're looking for a place to discover your love of horses with the opportunity to do a some low pressure showing both on or off property--you've found your spot.

Seems like they're on Groupon all the time. Our horseback ride started about 1.5hours late. I…read morewasn't happy about this at all. Not simply because he was running late, but because the house (castle/waiting room/party room) was absolutely filthy. I was really taken aback by a business looking like this, even if it's a business that works w/ animals. When we got there, the owner and assistant were on a ride w/ another group. Then the group we were supposed to be riding with were an hour late, so we had to wait for them. It was just annoying, although Steven (owner) was friendly. When we walked into the empty house it looked like a construction space, a hen was walking around the inside and I even saw it poop IN THE KITCHEN! Things finally turned around when I hopped on Sherman (my white horse w/ black spots). He was a greedy little thing and ate up all the grass but he was a great horse. Steven immediately put ppl on the horses and taught us while we were riding. He was a straight to it teacher and I liked that. He definitely knows what he's doing when it comes to animals. He took a bunch of pictures and videos and sent them to everyone in the group. I'm thankful to have such awesome pictures that didn't cost us extra. I'm giving 4 stars despite the filth because Steven was friendly, welcoming, and I enjoyed the experience. Tip: -don't eat there if germs bug u -don't arrive early, there's no point -yes, you're in the right spot, even though it looks a little funky on the outside

It's funny this guy is trying to say we never went when we did - I'd love to see what evidence he…read morehas considering during our entire time there he never once asked for our names or checked that we even had a reservation. He also never redeemed our Groupon. He has repeatedly messaged me and begged me to remove this review and has even reported it to Yelp to try to get it removed. Not only do I stand by my review but this Steven Strasburg owner has proved himself to not only be completely unprofessional but also desperate and dishonest. My advice: TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY for your business instead of accusing people of posting fake reviews or saying "it must've been another place". This is the ONLY time where an owner has not only not apologized but tried to say I'm posting for the wrong Castle Strasburg. How many Castle Strasburg horseriding places are there in Midland, VA?

Also I plan to report this place to local health department because I am 100% sure all the surface is never cleaned regularly and kids reported to get sick consistently after playing there.

This consistent pattern strongly points to the play equipment itself not being properly sanitized. While the setup seems fun, the lack of visible cleaning/sanitization protocols for the toys, slides, climbing structures, etc., is a major health concern. It's unacceptable that visiting at opening didn't prevent illness, suggesting deep cleaning isn't happening overnight. We won't be returning due to this recurring health risk. Management urgently needs to implement and enforce rigorous, frequent sanitization of ALL play surfaces.

We attended a weekend birthday party here and had an amazing time!…read more Kiddos age two to ten took over the ENTIRE gym and had free play on all the equipment ropes, swings, balance beam, vaults, and more while an experienced staff supervised and kept everyone safe. They were friendly, upbeat, and the same teachers from the daytime classes. I was especially worried about my youngest since she is teeny tiny, but they kept special watch over her and because of their supervision she was able to try out almost all of the same equipment as the big kids. After the event, guests were led upstairs for a pizza and cake in a private loft. Besides the fact that it smells like a gym (understandable because that's what it is), we all had a great, low-key, time. I hope our host ends up doing something like this again next year because it was a blast for everyone involved.

This is really a 3.5 star review, but as Yelp only allows full stars, I'll tilt to the 4!…read more We've been going here for awhile. My daughter attended a friend's birthday party here and we signed up for lessons. And so most of the review is geared towards that kind of experience. If you are just coming for a day and some fun though, it is 5 stars because the gym is fun and there's more than enough to keep kids entertained for well over an hour! The Good: The price for lessons (once a week) is very reasonable. My daughter has definitely learned a lot (she can now cartwheel and is working on flips. She can do crunches hanging on a bar and even shimmy a bit up a rope). More important, she really enjoys it and has continued to enjoy it over time (and she is someone who tends to burn out on activities pretty quickly). They have a big loft that parents can sit at and see the entire facility, which is nice. And they definitely do a good job balancing classes for committed gymnasts and those doing it as an extracurricular. The Bad: The location isn't great. There is very little parking there and it is so chaotic as people come and go that I'm amazed nobody's been injured in the scrum of arrival/departure (and it doesn't seem Novak's is interested in trying to manage the situation). There doesn't appear to be a lot of continuity in the instructors (i.e., they seem to change frequently) and I don't get much feedback on how my daughter is doing. The website could also be improved to include a more functional parent's portal. But the program and gym itself is good and the people are friendly. If you're looking for a good gymnastics program at a reasonable price, this is it.
