Pirate Adventures on the Chesapeake was a really cool adventure for my kids. They loved all aspects…read moreof it! The adventure starts with a phone call. This isn't the type of adventure you can show up to on a whim. You have to schedule a visit in advance. I scheduled a date and time over the phone. They took my credit card info, a contact number and my kids' names. The first date I scheduled was cancelled due to inclement weather. Pirate Adventures called and cancelled the adventure about three hours prior to when it was supposed to start. I elected to reschedule right then. I was instructed to arrive a half hour before our adventure so the kids could get their faces painted and pick out a sash. We parked on the street a few blocks away not realizing they have a parking lot. We checked in, the kids were given name tags with their name and an alliterative adjective (ie Zig Zag Zora and Kung Fu Kieran) and then reported to the face painting and sash picking area. After face painting kids and adults boarded the boat and the Chesapeake part of the adventure began. The captain went over a few safety measures with the adults while his assistant went through guidelines with the kids. The adventure has a whole story with different parts involved that kept the seven kids on our adventure entertained. Ages ranged from probably three to fourteen. These parts included a map search, treasure hunt, key finding expedition, pirate fight and a final pirate bounty quest. For the adults, we just hung out under a shaded portion of the boat. I got up to interact with my kids a few times and to snap some pictures. Mostly I just enjoyed the boat ride. The whole adventure lasted almost two hours (counting face painting). If you have kids that love to pretend and don't mind riding a boat, Pirate Adventures on the Chesapeake might be right up their alley.

Then we love the mini golf & updated rides now that the weather has warmed up. I love that they serve local beers also, so my husband and I can have a drink, order some really good BBQ at their restaurant & let the kids play for hours. I also noticed they keep it very clean, which is something I like to look out for with young kids. We wish there were more places like this in the area!

The prizes are cheap and who needs candy as surprises. UCK. We the camps book for the day; they do not watch their children, the children are rude, love to bully the other children, steal their cards, no self control especially the boys kept grabbing and pinching their penis. Loud, while skipping the line and the counselors are the worst, watching them skip the line until you say something to the children. But I did not let them spoil ur fun. The counselors do not dress appropriately nor dress covered up; the are fat out of shape and on their phones the whole time never keeping up with the children beware who is around your rude children. Parents stop working all the time and take the time to be with your children they are horrible and all you are doing is dropping them off so we can deal with them is why they world is in such bad shape. Other than that the food was simple. But laser tag was so much fun. The games updated. Bathrooms were clean until the camps kids arrived. Teach your children to clean after themselves they are not at home. A sad generation coming behind us. But overall a fun place. And the ride experts were well mannered. I would go again. Parents be responsible for your children And do ore with them. Please teach them so manners and the camp counselors.

Happy 103rd Birthday to the Wild One!…read more This has to be the oldest coaster I've ever ridden. And yes, being a wooden coaster definitely has its challenges. However, I do think this is a great ride. Anyone who rides a wooden coaster definitely knows they are on the rougher side vs a more modern coaster. However if you like roller coasters, it's definitely worth a ride at least once!

For being 100 years old I really expected this coaster to be all bad like super rough and yeah but that wasn't the case on my ride in the front row as I felt it was decently smooth for being this old and wooden! I'm pretty sure this is the oldest coaster I've ever ridden and I take that into consideration when I justify the roughness of the ride as for being this old it's not that bad it's good to see that Six Flags America is keeping this 100 year old coaster in this good of condition in our nations capitol! Overall I expected a lot less of this ride and what I found on this very day is a great old school coaster that's still kicking it 100 years later so make sure you get to ride it as you never know what might happen to it in the future with all these new Hybrid Coasters popping up!

"Dad, I want to go back for Father's Day."…read more We had not visited the Adventure Park in 8 years. We are fortunate enough to live 15 minutes from the park. When our daughters were younger it was a go to place for them and their friends. But the girls got older and their interest declined. I'm not sure what motivated my daughter want to go back but I'm glad we did. We went yesterday one day before Father's Day. My daughter chose this day because we went on Father's Day years ago and it was extremely crowded. Good plan. Not too crowded. Great weather too. Our experience we great. The staff was terrific. One downside. I'm 8 years older and I noticed it. So, if you are thinking about visiting don't delay because as the song says: Time Waits for No One.

11/1/19 One of the first blast of rollercoasters I have been…read moreon. I believe this is the first blast coaster I experienced. Since then, I have been on many other blast coasters. On 8 May 1999 I heard advertisements for The Joker's Jinx . I remember I didn't like the ads for the ride, but I knew I would certainly ride this ride. The day I went to the park, I rode many rides, because I know the line for this ride would be long no matter what time I went. When I finally arrived to the ride, the line was long, but there were refreshments for those in line. The lemonade hit the spot and I had plenty of time before I rode the ride to get the fluid into my system. When I saw the paint job for the Joker, I never thought emerald green and purple went well together, BUT THEY DO. Oh, I was young back then. I even bought a Joker's Jinx tee shirt. At that time I wore a large tee shirt. I don't remember what happened to the shirt, but I know I through...no...I believe I gave it to good will. When I finally got to the gated area, you had to pass by several mirrors that made you look distorted. For my first experience I went straight to the back where I had to wait a little longer. Why, because the rear is tighter? Because I like it in the rear? Or because the rear of the car is the fastest. This answer is the best answer. The front is the slowest, but the rear end gets pushed forwards because of the force of the front of the car. The middle seats are a natural point. In this case since it is a blast coaster it pretty much doesn't matter until you feel the rear end of the car moving faster from the pulling of the rest of the cars. The spiraling looks to the side way turns make this rollercoaster a lot of fun. Listening to one of the operator say "Hands Up, hands up, I wanna see your hands." Once everyone's hands were up, he would hit the go button and everyone in the coaster cars would shoot forwards. I would love to say The Joker's Jinx started the blast coasters craze, but it wouldn't be true. Still, I had a lot of fun. This ride is a steel ride and steel rides have been know to be smoother than the wooden rollercoasters. I wouldn't mind going on this ride again. I would call this a high thrill ride.

Staff were friendly and accommodating when we needed an extra table and making announcements to gather the kids together. They provided some juice boxes; we brought extra snacks and drinks, 7 pizzas from ledos and a cake. The whole experience was smooth and the kids were happy. That's all that matters. The equipment looked clean and in good shape. The party was for a 7 year old. Kids invited ranged from 4-10. All of them had a blast!

I had so much fun here (as a parent) and my littles had a great time too. There is a ball pit with a slide and best way to describe it -- a covered jungle gym with a slide and maze.

Parents, if you're in the area, this is a must do. It was a little out of the way for me, but so worth the travel.

As soon as we arrived in National Harbor, we noticed The Capital Wheel sitting right on the water…read more I can get into a food Ferris Wheel - not one you can pack in a suitcase, but if it's modernized and, like, bolted to the ground then sure I'll try it out. A few of my colleagues and I thought it would be fun to do during some down time after our conference was done, so we decided to check it out. Admission to the Wheel is $18 + tax. We came during our lunch break on a weekday, so it wasn't crowded at all. The ride itself lasts about 15 minutes, and makes 4 to 5 complete revolutions. The cars are fully modernized - they're air conditioned, equipped with emergency buttons should you need them, and can hold up to 8 people. Views were great - you can fully see National Harbor, and in the distance you can spot parts of DC. Overall, The Capital Wheel is a fun time - it definitely adds to the overall aesthetic of National Harbor and worth a ride if you're in the area.

This spot is kids paradise. I planned most of our day here and my kids still didn't want to leave…read more I typically saw this spot whenever I rode the Strasburg Railroad. We typically would do their Christmas Train, and rarely got back to Lancaster in the warmer months. As soon as I planned my latest summer trip, I knew it had to be on the itinerary. This place has it all from gigantic slides to gold mining sluice areas to a mini kids village that mine couldn't get enough of from the mini vet office to the drive in theater. It was really impressive. From here, you can make your way up the hill where there is a restaurant, a coffee kiosk with a delicious coconut water cold brew (wild!), and plenty of shaded sections with swinging chairs. You'll find paintball, basketball, skee ball, a pedal cart for the family, launching devices. I mean, there is a lot! The place is large so it never felt overly crowded. Come with water bottles. Even with the shaded sections it gets hot. They have water fountains by the bathrooms.

Such a fun farm to take your family. I've been coming here…read moresince my daughter was about 4 years old- she's 14 now. Everyone we come, it does not disappoint. It's such a great time. Buy tickets online- tickets are cheaper. If you go during the week- it's cheaper too! They also have 50% off for active military and veterans, which is a great deal! They have all kinds of games, tug of war ropes, a play area/little town for younger kids, pig races. Some nights they have fireworks or bands. If you come- the corn maze is a must! All types of food vendors like burgers, fries, chicken fingers, ice cream and apple cider donuts. You can spend hours here and not get bored. They also have for pit and picnic table areas you can rent out and they provide logs and sticks so you can roast marshmallows or hotdogs. Definitely recommend this farm.

Easter flew past before i could tell you of our kid's outing to Clark's Elioak Farm (Apr 2026)…read more It's a place full of fun outdoor activities and critters on MD-108 Clarksville Pike, west of US-29 just past Centennial Lane. We took a three-year-old there for an outing in bright slightly-cool weather. Up until Easter, they had easter-egg hunts all day, separated each time into age-groups, smartly organized so that the kids trade in the eggs afterwards for a goodie-bag, so the competition for eggs wasnt too fierce. We took a train ride around the farm. And the newest pony was still getting used to the situation, so instead of riding, we joined in gentle grooming and pampering. A lovely fun morning! It's on a 7th-generation family-owned farm, and it's open Tuesday-Sunday and some Mondays, 11-5 or so. There's low-cost tickets for entry and for some of the activities, and there's lots of free parking. Their produce stand is open July-Sep. And after the olds reminisce about the restored decor that Clark's Elioak Farm rescued 20 years ago from good old Enchanted Forest, there's a nice (unrelated) wine bar and restaurant across the street :-)
