My wife had flagged the Columbus Botanical Gardens as a possible stop on our overnight visit to…read moreColumbus. We didn't make it there on our first day, but we opted to stop by on the Sunday morning before we drove home. A 'botanical garden' can span a wide spectrum of things, some more interesting than others. Unless you are very plant-centric, there is probably an upper threshold of interest that any botanical garden can generate. I'm not saying that critically; think of it in the context of 'would you rather visit a museum or a garden?'. Depending on your answer, you may be more or less interested in your average botanical garden... This one is located 5 - 6 miles north of downtown. There appeared to be ample parking, plus an overflow lot that was not in use when we visited. They have some central gardens (sort of zen-lite) and a walking trail through the woods. This intersects with a camellia trail, which was nice. It also intersects with a 'wetlands' trail, which (as the name suggests) appeared mostly soggy. There is a sort of farmhouse near the parking lot which belonged to the original landowners who donated it to the community. If you are just looking for a nice 30-minute diversion of walking among plants, this is fine. It was a nice walk. It is also free. I'm not sure I'd need to return here, but I'm glad we stopped in.

I would say everyone that worked there displayed excellent customer service. I checked in on Saturday. The young lady at the desk was very nice. She was very welcoming to me.

When we return later back to the facility, it was someone else at the desk and they were also very nice making sure they always acknowledge anyone that came in and out the door the front door. Even the housekeeping was on top of everything making sure they kept the facility, clean and smelling good constantly cleaning the hallways, keeping the overall aesthetics of the facility up . The room was nice and clean. I like the feature that you were that you were able to control the TV with your phone. The buffet breakfast was the best part. They had everything that you could name and it was really good. Kudos to the young man that was in charge of the breakfest. He wore a chef style hat and I think his name was Louis. I'm not sure but he was there on Sunday and Monday. He assisted my family with whatever they needed. He was very nice as well and he kept the buffet area very clean. I would definitely choose to stay here again .

Since moving to the area, I have visited Stars and Strikes four times, and each experience has been…read moreenjoyable. As someone who loves entertainment-packed venues, this place has quickly become one of my go-to spots for a fun night out. There are a few drawbacks, but overall, it offers a great experience for families, kids, and adults alike. One of my favorite features is the Spark VIP bowling lane, which adds a unique twist to traditional bowling. The cool virtual effects you can select make the experience more immersive and visually appealing. If you're looking for something beyond a standard bowling game, I highly recommend opting for this lane--it's worth it! One of the biggest highlights of Stars and Strikes is the sheer variety of entertainment options in one location. Aside from bowling, you can enjoy arcade games, play pool, watch TV, and just relax. It's the kind of place where you can easily spend hours without getting bored. The ambiance is lively and loud, which is expected in a setting like this, and they always play great music that adds to the fun atmosphere. However, I do have a couple of minor complaints. The drinks are expensive, which is a little disappointing given the casual, arcade-like setting. It would be great if they had better drink specials to make it more affordable. Additionally, the service can be a little slow, especially during peak hours. That said, I've noticed they are often extremely busy, so I now try to visit later in the evening when things are slightly less hectic. As for the food, I haven't personally tried it yet, but from what I've seen, it appears to be standard bar-style food, similar to what you'd find at other arcade and bowling venues. If you're looking for gourmet dining, this probably isn't the place, but for quick bites while having fun, it seems to fit the bill. One of the best aspects of this location is that parking is easy, which is always a plus when visiting an entertainment venue. The convenience of not having to circle around looking for a spot makes arriving stress-free. Considering that Columbus, GA doesn't have a ton of entertainment options, Stars and Strikes is definitely a solid choice for a night out. Despite the minor drawbacks, I'll continue to come back because it's one of the few places in town that offers a well-rounded entertainment experience. Whether you're with family, friends, or even on a date night, this place provides a fun, energetic atmosphere that keeps you entertained. If you haven't checked it out yet, it's definitely worth a visit!
