This was our first time at the Muse and it was honestly a 3 or 4 experience, but not because it…read morelacked awesomeness, but because we chose a horribly busy day to come. Thus, I didn't reduce stars due to the crowds alone. There was a summer camp and the largest field trip group that they had all summer (according to the workers) with every station so crowded with space and sharing-oblivious kiddos. We asked the workers if they post field trip info online so we can avoid those days and they said you must call ahead of time to see if anything is scheduled. CALL AHEAD, y'all. They also told me that after 12:30 is the least busy time of day. As a heads up military, first responders, and educators get a discounted ticket (for self, not the entire party). My UT prof husband paid half-price. The staff is very friendly and working hard to keep the areas stocked and clean. A moving target, but they did their best! ;-) There is a gift shop, an amazing hand-washing station independent of the bathrooms, STEM areas, outdoor water and bubble play, a playground, a garden, forts, science experiments, train tables, play food/nutrition area, a giant lite-bright, rocket ships, race tracks, and numerous wind tunnel/scarf tubes (totally the technical term. ha). So many areas for kids with sensory needs and everything is very interactive. We have a membership to Children's Museum of OR, and in comparison, this is much more hands-on learning than the historical feel of OR's. I felt that the Muse is a great fit for the younger kiddos (toddlers, babies, etc) with it being all one story and easy to navigate, huge crowds aside. Amazing museum. Just know to call ahead so you're not overwhelmed. We plan to go back again soon and pay extra $3 p/p for the planetarium.

Our 7-year-old wanted to check out Muse while we were in town. They have a STEM focus. The staff is…read morevery nice. We met several while drawing in the art area. They have a nice dome show. Ours was about the Apollo missions. Other areas are fun and he had fun for the first part of the visit. They do have a small sensory room but other kids were being very loud, so my son could not enjoy his sensory break. The outside area is great. The downside to the museum is that it gets busy and loud. If your child does not like loud places then they will have a tough time.

What a fun, memorable experience! My parents were in town for my twins' birthday and treated them…read moreeach to a BAB stuffed animal. We did have to seek out an employee to explain the process, but they were very friendly and helpful...especially the employee who helped stuff their chosen animal shell with the inner "fluff." My daughter chose a rainbow bunny and son chose a Paw Patrol dog (whom he later named Yoda...okay! ha.). The employee had them grab a small fabric heart to put inside with the stuffing and walked the twins through a special ceremony to make the heart extra special. So cute. After being stuffed and sewn up, there are different stations to bring them to. A bath station, a dressing station, and a computer station for creating their birth certificates. These are printed behind the counter where you pay. Note that the animal shells are pretty affordable. It is when you add on the clothes, backpacks, shoes, and other accessories that it adds up. Each kiddo got at least three accessories, a baby carrier and a car for them to ride in and it was easily $150. They are obsessed with their creations, though! Great gift.

Yeah so, two years ago me and my friend came here, we were just goofy teenagers with childlike…read morewonder. We made a mistake by coming here that day. As we walked up to the fluff pumper, with our capybara bears, the woman(?) snatched them. My friend and I talked amongst ourselves while she pumped the bears with the fluff. When the foot got lifted from the pedal so she could stitch the back of the bear up, one of us looked at the other and whispered a joke about "imagine if someone just stepped on the pedal and the fluff flew around the store." Notice how I mention, neither of us actually said we do it. It was COMPLETELY HYPOTHETICAL. Somehow, her ecolocation ears picked up on this silly remark and immeditally got beligerant and put an end to our convo and our silly mood. She said "Ohhhh so you think youre funny?" With a sarcastic and conniving voice. and we side eyed each other out of confusion because we didnt understand what was so wrong about a little joke that had no intention behind it. then she adds on to it when we dont respond and says " You also think you're five years old??" Implying that we, as 15 years olds, were too old to be shopping at Build a Bear. What happened to the loving environment that appeals to minors,--which we still were? I was utterly shocked, me and my friend sat there in silence, still not responding to that edgy comment. Ever since, I ( and my friend) have vowed never to return. I do not believe her reaction was needed and we very obviously were not going to do that thing, we joked about wondering what would the outcome be if someone were to do it. Anyways, the capybaras were cute and I have had other good experiences here, prior to the one mentioned, and I could not exclude that from this passionate review.

Afterwards, we enjoyed some cold drinks and snacks in the main area. It is very neat and clean. One grandson elected to pan for gems which yielded a nice assortment of pieces. A nice added touch was a chart for him to help identify what he found. Lots of fun. Nice, friendly staff help round out this find located just outside Murphy,NC.

So, I only knew about this place because my 3 year old watches Handy Man Hal and he had an episode…read moreabout it recently he's actually the one who spotted it so we had to go check it out. We built 2 monster cars. It is just like build a bear. You can do basic and get the standard wheels, rims, etc at no additional costs but do you? Nope... you upgrade and pay for all the extras and accessories. If can be as cheap as $20 or the sky's the limit. Once you pick out all you want, you get to build your ride with assistance. Lastly, one more opportunity to upgrade at check out. Free bag or upgrade to a cardboard box garage, or a car backpack! We got 2 vehicle bases, non RC, upgraded rims on both, monster truck wheels on both, a spoiler on one, a front grill on one, and 2 cardboard garages all for $140. The 2 employees working were very helpful, polite, and informative. Great with my two boys ages 3 and 7. Would recommend if you have a car loving kid!

My son saw "Ridemakerz" on a show and had been begging us to visit ever since. So for his 5th…read morebirthday we took the plunge and drove all the way from Louisville so he could build his very own RC car. My son was so excited! The experience was everything we had hoped for. From picking your own car body from a wide selection, to choosing tires and rims, to putting the car together under the instruction of one of the knowledgeable team members: my kiddo had an absolute blast! The more accessories are added on, the more expensive the car will ultimately end up being so I recommend being aware and setting a limit with your kiddo before visiting. Thank you "ridemakerz" for the great experience!

WOW! What an incredible experience at Legacy Mountain Zipline! This was my very first time…read moreziplining, and I'm so excited to finally check this bucket list adventure off. It exceeded every expectation I had! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and the entire experience was so much fun from start to finish. We had a nice cloudy day with some thunder and rain, and the guys even put us on hold for our safety when lightning was in the area, which I know most of the group appreciated. Once it was safe we got to continue! Our tour guides Josh and Joe, were the perfect duo! They were knowledgeable, professional, funny, and made everyone feel so safe and comfortable the entire time. They kept us laughing with their jokes while also sharing interesting information along the way. So If you're thinking about ziplining, don't hesitate book it! The views are unforgettable, the staff is amazing, and it's an experience I'll remember for the rest of my life!! Thank you again Josh and Joe, for making my first ziplining adventure one I'll never forget!

From the moment we walked in the door everybody was super nice and helpful are two guides. Matt and…read moreBrian were superb explained everything very well. Helped us with all the equipment took us all way to the top of the mountain. Explain what was gonna happen before it happened. Super great experience highly recommend only have one complaint and that's the pictures. They only take pictures on zip line 6 and they give about eight piece for the price is just not worth it. I hope one day they run out GoPro to go on your helmet or on your chest so you get a Birdseye view of what you're doing or a handheld one that can tie to your wrist like they do skydiving. i'm still giving a five star rating cause other than how they did the pictures. Everything was top-notch.
