It's been 7 years since my first visit to James E. Martin Aquatics Center. It was great to get…read moreback. My fondest memories are of my young son swimming with Auburn Alum, Olympic medalist and TV commentator Rowdy Gaines at a week long camp directed by former Auburn Head Coach Brett Hawke. Parking can be a challenge for visitors. The closest areas are reserved for faculty and students. There is parking in the nearby football lot. The facility although dated to the mid 90's is in great condition. The primary pool and diving well is for Auburn swim and dive team. However, faculty and students can use the pool. The spectator area is marvelous and spans the entire length of the pool and well. The Olympic size pool is 50 meters with movable bulkhead, platform diving and well. The aquatic complex consist of approximately 145,000 gallons of swimming capability. The Long Course pool has eight lanes for competition with depths of 7-8 feet for greater speed. The facility is maintained to high standards and immaculate. Auburn is a fabulous city with the Auburn campus meshing into one big happy community. War Eagle!

The Southeastern Raptor Center, formerly known as the Southeastern Raptor Rehabilitation Center, is…read morea wonderful organization that's part of Auburn University's College of Veterinary Medicine. In addition to rehabbing various birds of prey brought to them by the public and elsewhere, the Center puts on local and regional educational programs which are fun, family-friendly, photo-op-filled affairs. The highly recommended "Football, Fans and Feathers" program occurs Fridays before home games and for a mere $5, you can learn about and meet several resident birds including owls, vultures, hawks, and the famous eagles who fly before Auburn football games. These truly are beautiful and magnificent birds. Sometimes it can get way crowded, so be sure to get there early!

I spent the summer in Auburn working and was looking for a crossfit gym. NGL when I saw the website…read moreI was a little intimidated even though I've been doing crossfit for a few years (better yesterday...though lol). However, the first class I had with Nathan was incredible. This place is not only an excellent facility--spcaious, clean, lots of equipment, circulation--but the coaches...it's the coaches for me. My technique in squats, snatches, kipping pull-ups and even rowing improved tremendously. I can't say enough about Nathan, Autumn, and Aubrey. They really break down the movements to help you improve all-around. It's also a gym for everyone--age, fitness level, etc. There are three tailored levels for each workout, which for me is very helpful as I'm often in the middle. The classes weren't too crowded, either, but I'd bet it can get quite busy during the semester. I was proud to call this place home for over 2 months and will definitely be returning whenever I'm in town!

I came to do a drop in here as I was visiting town. I'm so glad I did! Not only was it a warm and…read morefriendly environment but the space is outstanding, the equipment fantastic and it was so clean and tidy. The owner and head coach was incredibly welcoming and we felt right at home. I wouldn't hesitate to go back and recommend this gym to any crossfitter visiting Auburn!

They said we actually do not have anyone playing so let's see if we can get you one and then they came and said "actually we are totally booked we cant take you." Yet their website still shows all rooms with no one booked. Additionally their website clearly states that they would not turn anyone away. They said we can come back next weekend, but we will not be back.

Columbus Riverwalk is a pristine and beautiful park in the heart of downtown Columbus, Mississippi…read more I love going for walks/runs down the miles of trail that starts at the river and go into a serene woods setting. There's plenty of parking, a boat ramp, places to do some fishing, and picnic tables! It's also a very pet friendly park! The Riverwalk is also a fun place to host events, both for the city and privately. The new, state of the art bridge has a stage set up beneath it with lights and is the perfect place for a concert. The grass area in front of the stage is like an amphitheater of sorts, where people can bring their own chairs and enjoy the atmosphere. Lastly, there's a brand new foot bridge that takes you across main street and directly to Columbus' soccer fields and the Hitching Lot Farmer's Market on summery weekends!

First of all, this dance studio is actually located at 850 Stage Rd, Auburn, AL 36830…read more I was looking for drop in dance classes in the Auburn area and this studio came up in my research. They offer a few adult classes as well as a variety of classes for kids.This studio reminded me of my studio I went to growing up. The girls in the class were very close and small town. The class did get off topic a little bit which happened at my studio as well. I took the lyrical/contemporary class on Thursdays 6:30-7:30. I wish it was an hour and a half. The girls in the class ranged in ages from high school to college. The class consisted of a warm up, turns, leaps, and choreography. I think that the choreography could have been taught a little quicker. Considering this was a local studio and I don't think they get much drop in traffic everyone was very nice. I think I might have been a bit of a distraction during class - some of the girls kept asking me questions to get to know me. It was sweet, but I just wanted to dance. Drop in class is $15, monthly is $55 for first class, add a 2nd for $25/mo and a 3rd for $20. I will be back for the class again next week.

This bowling alley has been around forever. It's now "Valley Lanes", btw…read more Outside it looks like crap, but they've taken very good care of the place inside. They have a snack bar that serves, pizza, nachos, french fries, and a ton of other random stuff. They also have a nice selection of alcoholic beverages. They have 30ish AMF bowling lanes, as well as a small arcade and a pool table. They're open daily. On Friday and Saturday nights they have cosmic bowling. It starts at 10. You pay $16 and bowl as many games as you want until 2 am. Wednesdays, they have a special where you can get your shoes, games, and even snacks for just $1.50 each. Definitely a great place to take your kids! They do host birthday parties! This place is still great for adults and teenagers as well. I mean, who DOESN'T love to bowl?
