We love it here! I've been riding since I was 5 years old (I'm almost 40 now) and a few years ago…read moremy daughter and I began riding at JREC Riding School together. I've been consistently happy with their instruction style, horses, knowledge, and programs overall. I can't imagine riding anywhere else. The horses are all incredibly well cared for and LOVED, and each receives personalized care depending on it's needs. It warrants mentioning: I saw a very old review posted to Yelp that sounded horrible (from 2012 by a Janet C.). That review does NOT match what goes on at JREC. I can only guess that the reviewer MUST have be referring to a different location, and got confused when posting on here. Or perhaps there was a different owner/operator of the barn at that time, but that is not a reflection of the Riding School at JREC today.

Our family has been coming here for years and we love it! The riding lessons are informative and…read morefun and the staff goes above and beyond to work with each rider individually as needed. We do the weekly riding lessons (every Tuesday) and participate in the family-friendly competitions throughout the year. One other thing worth mentioning is that all of the horses are happy, clean, and healthy. They are extremely well-cared for! It's amazing to see the relationships that the horses develop with each person. It's a great place.

I never…read moreknew there was rafting in Richmond but will def be going back for a quick trip on the water that is quite fun. Tom was our guide, Hailey, was the other rafts guide, and both were awesome. Tom knew so much about the area history and is very experienced guiding. Such an easy trip to make with fun rapids (III's and sometimes IV's). I'm sure all the guides are great, but we will ask for Tom and Hailey first next trip. Pretty impressed with this outfit. (Wish they had more merch to purchase though, just imo).

We took the kids there on Friday. Sometimes they have free classes for kids where they teach them a…read morefew cooking skills and give them free samples of food. Such a great idea. Get them involved in cooking young so they can help in the kitchen later. Anyhow they made cinnamon and sugar dog shaped bones (for ppl not made for dogs). They gathered flour in a cup. Idk u gwt a huge cupful thats overflowing and to tap it three times to get air pockets out and then go across it with a knife or something similar to get rid of extra flour and get a nice evening cup of flour. They loved that and my 4 year old ended up with flour all over her pants. SHE REALLY GOT INTO IT. LOL. Then to complete the dog biscuits they rolled dough, pressed the dog shaped biscuit cookie cutter into the dough and added a few swipes of butter to coat it and added a pinch of cinnamon and sugar and since its just a,short class, they let them try samples of them they had already baked. Next station was strawberries with mascapone icing. They used a straw to push out the stem and then cut it in half and added icing. Oh man think that was the favorite station for all three of my kiddos. My 4 year old was like, "mmmm." Hehe. The other two kids inhaled it without much talking which means it was agreeable to their sometimes fussy pallets. You know how kids are if ur a parent or nanny. FUSSY. LOL. NEXT and final station was biscuit/croissant making. It was equivalent to making Pillsbury dough biscuits but way cooler. They told them ingredients used to make dough, played with flour and made a cup of flour again as before, rolled out dough again, rolled into a small crossaint, buttered it and added spices to it. If there has been time to make it they would have done something for 8 mins I think. Idk what temperature tho. They tried yet another sample. Seriously I can't rave about this place enough. Staff was amazing. The bakers/employees hired are professional to be on TV, super helpful and FUN. They have cooking classes for like $30/kid or $99 for monthly classes I think she said. Not sure of exactly details but that's what I gathered. Take your kids there, you won't regret it and your kids will love it!!!!

I really love their mocha lattes as a staple but when I have ventured to try their specials I have not been disappointed.

If I am looking for a gift or card, their selection is fabulous with whimsical offerings from local artists. Gifts like socks, key chains, mugs, and a modest selection of options to fit your person's needs.

They have a really good selection of ceramics to choose from, and I liked that each piece has the price right underneath, so you know exactly what you're paying before you choose. They also have tons of colors to choose from, which gives you plenty of room to get creative. The space can get busy pretty quickly since there aren't a ton of tables, but it looks like they may be doing some renovations, so I'm interested to see how the space changes. They also have snacks and drinks available for purchase, which is a nice touch if you're spending some time there with the kids. The customer service was probably one of my favorite parts. They explained everything really well, were available if we had questions, and made the whole process easy. Once you finish your piece, they let you know the turnaround time, which is about a week. Overall, we had a really nice experience, and it was such a fun activity to do with my daughter, I'd definitely come back to paint another piece and excited to see what the future holds with the renovations.

I am personally not a fan of sports activities after 5pm so the 1:15pm class is perfect for us. The instructors have all been great with the kids. I did prefer the class when it was a bit smaller but who can blame all these kids for wanting to come here! (They also added another instructor when the class got bigger.) It's not just kids running around here, they are learning real technique & get a serious workout while having fun. I definitely recommend VIGS! PS.

Your kids are auto-enrolled in each subsequent 5-week session prior to the current session ending. They refuse to offer a refund for a 5 week session that 2 of my kids were auto enrolled in. They will not allow the payment to be applied to a different session or summer camp. Their online system does not keep track of unused sessions for make-up purposes. Customer service is not even on their radar here - staff is openly rude. Choose a better option for gymnastics for your kids! We've had a great experience at CORE Kids Academy!
