It is soooo much fun when farmer Scott plays hide and seek with me!! Ive started a routine where i visit the farm daily around 5pm. Famer Scott is usually out on his deck, so just to make sure he can see me i stand up in the middle of his field and wave. For some reason he shouts and gives me the finger....not sure what thats about. One day i decided to stroll by around noon and he was even angrier. Not very family friendly, but i still enjoy my visits. I do intend to invite friends to visit because farmer Scott has the BEST tasting free range organic chicken ever!!! Signed- THE WEASEL!

I can't exactly confirm this, but I'm pretty sure I saw a weasel stroll across the property, stop, flip me off, and then continue on its way. It might have even mouthed the words f**k you as it did it. I was a little offended to say the least. Farmer Scott says he's been after the weasel for months now, his Moby-Dick if you will. I have a feeling weasel hunting will soon be an added experience at the farm.

I have been involved with New Earth since construction. The market sells produce, eggs, meat, vegetables, bread, flowers and more to the public. Everything available will be harvested from New Earth. Items will be sourced to their their three restaurants, Commune and Prosperity Kitchen & Pantry. The educational component such as Farm Table has been ramped up with the installation of a new kitchen. Cooking classes can be scheduled at www.newearthfarm.organd are for all ages and groups welcome. Other educational items that can be booked through their website are Farm Lab & Food Lab. Both offer unique experiences with hands on, or classroom learning. Thank you for the personal tour Kevin. Awesome things are happening at New Earth. Check out their seasonal hours during the Winter prior to a venture to Pungo.

We learned some cool new tricks and met some new people at the workshop. I was impressed with the little building where the training happened - it was a cold day after a snow and it was warm and toasty inside. I had no idea this farm was nearby (I live just down Nimmo) and spoke to the Training Director who informed me that they have tons of workshops on canning, vinegars, foraging and other things during the warmer months as well as an active farmer's market area where they sell lots of goods grown on their farm. I'll have to add this into my rotation for fresh veggies and new training!

It's operated by the same company as the Adventure Park, though each requires separate admission tickets. The entrance is about a five-minute walk from the parking lot along a pebbled path. After seeing the tower, it reminded me of the Forest Tower in Denmark and wondered if it served as an inspiration for the design. The Nautilus Tower is 65 feet tall, and you can reach the top via stairs or by a spiral ramp. There are benches along the way for those who need a break. Once at the top, I was greeted with a beautiful view of the surrounding forest and lakes. After enjoying the view, I went down the steel slide, which was a lot of fun! You sit on a mat with handles for the descent, similar to a water slide but without the water. After the steel slide, I explored the Treetop Canopy Walk, accessible from the second level of the tower. The canopy walk was nice but also a little scary, giving me "Final Destination" vibes due to the amount of swinging and swaying on the bridge. I ended my visit at the Children's Treehouse Village, which is a nice play area if you have kids. I would recommend Owl Creek Landing for anyone who loves nature, a great family outing or even a date night. It's a wonderful addition to the Virginia Beach area.

I came here after going to a sports card show in Norfolk. It wasn't a planned visit but I was just…read morelooking for something interesting to look at since I had a lot of free time and the weather was nice on Saturday. I thought it would be a lot larger but the spot is quite small but it is very nice to walk around. There are also lots of nice areas adjacent to the garden and terrace as well. I parked in front of the garden went around it and then found the USS Wisconsin and the Naval museum just past the garden. I went around and finished checking out the other side of the garden after. The parking was free for 2 hrs in front of the garden and it seemed like parking in general was plentiful and open this weekend. It looked like college dormitories around the garden and some other residential areas around the middle of downtown Norfolk. There were many nice plants in the garden, the terrace was nice but not open as far as I could tell, and the koi pond was nice if someone would clean out the pond scum from the fish pond. There were small bridges over the water and multiple water fountains in the koi pond. There were a few benches to sit on if you wanted to just relax or meditate in the garden. Overall, it was a nice garden but it is not something to go downtown to see, but it is a nice additional thing to see if you are going to the USS Wisconsin and the Naval museum or if you staying in downtown area. Lots of people were exercising (walking and jogging) so it is a nice scene to pass by if you are doing that.

The free museum inside the building has Norfolk history, battleship history, port of VA info, and naval history. There are many interactive exhibits.

If you do the ship, you will need more than 2 hours but the hourly rate at the garage is reasonable

I'll start by saying the facility itself has potential to be very cool, but the staff and owner are…read moreabsolutely terrible. Me and my kids (1 & 4 yo) were visiting family for a birthday that was being held there. As stated I have a 1 yo and they love to jump, but obviously I'm not gonna let her just free roam by herself. I explained that I had no interest in jumping but that I wanted to accompany my 1 year old to make sure she was safe. I told the owner multiple times that I would not jump but needed to be with my baby and she said that I could not go with the baby (despite the website saying otherwise). I didn't want to make a scene over it so I just bought myself a ticket (even though I was included in the party roster and should have been covered). And then my sister (the party host) lost her expensive and sentimental bracelet in the foam pit with roughly 30-45 min left on our jump time. We spent that time looking for it before even notifying them of it. After that they gave us 15 min to look and I don't know if you've ever had to look through a foam pit for something but it is nearly impossible. We even asked if we could come in after hours to do a proper look, to which the owner said we could have 15 min after they closed, which is nearly impossible (We would not have put this much effort if it was not a sentimental piece that was literally worth $1000 if not more). Not to mention but it was dead when we went, just a handful of other guests were there since we were there midday. While looking through the foam pit it was absolutely disgusting. There were lost socks, bandaids, food remnants, and sticky substances coating the blocks and the bottom of the pit. They claim to clean it either weekly or monthly (different employees and the owner said different things with one employee saying it's never been cleaned since they've worked there) but I would be genuinely surprised if they ever clean the pit. It's a straight up bio hazard and you couldn't pay me to go in one again. After being unsuccessful in finding the bracelet they said that they would give my sister a call if it was found, but after the way they were treated and the owners attitude I highly doubt that would happen if it's ever found. This place could be really cool, but the owner needs to work on customer service and just outright communication skills. After reading other negative reviews, they clearly do not know how to accept faults on their end. They leave comments on the reviews trying to disregard, refute, and lie about customer experiences (and I'm sure they will do that with this review as well, which is just straight unprofessional ). Hopefully they get new owners that can take accountability and improve customer experience.
