Super fun experience at the pumpkin patch!!! We visited on the Saturday morning before Halloween…read moreand it wasn't too packed at all!! We had fun. There is a big parking lot- but be careful, the driveway to get in is really narrow and only one car fits through at a time. There is no admission fee and it is free to walk around. You also don't need reservations. There is cornhole, picnic tables to sit at, a gift shop with local good slike honey and apples, a coffee truck, a lemonade truck and popcorn for sale. There are pumpkins everywhere of different shapes and sizes available for purchase in addition to gourds and mums. We bought a mum and it was $15. There are plenty of photo opportunities and a garden to walk around in. There is also a lot of space for kids to run around in. For an additional fee, there is a wagon ride you can take that will take you to see farm animals but we didn't do this. All in all, not as many activities in my opinion as some of the other pumpkin patches around town, but I did like how close it is to town compared to some of the other pumpkin patch options and it was super cute! The staff was all really nice too!

I've been visiting here ever since I can remember as a child on field trips and it has always been…read moreenjoyable. I love that it is family owned and they always make it seem like you're family too while visiting. This year, my family went to pick strawberries a few months ago and it was a blast. We were shown where to pick them and to leave a flag of where we left off. The experience was so much fun and I would totally go back next season. The strawberries are delicious and I look forward to visiting during the fall for the pumpkin picking. They always make it such an enjoyable experience for both older and younger families.

Playground review: it's a super nice space and is designed for ages 2-12. There's a ton of different equipment for all abilities. However frustrating when older/larger kids are wreaking havoc and abusing the equipment while moms are talking with their backs turned away from the playground. Don't be those moms.

My child enjoyed every opportunity to meet animals in a relaxed and educational environment. They have a wonderful playground outside and is free. The animal tour is $10 / adult and $3 for kids. Worth every penny, my kid had never enjoyed animals until this trip. The outdoor animals are in excellent comfort and clean areas. We fed goats and pigs. Then we went inside and saw Guinea pigs, rabbits, and a lizard! Phenomenal educational opportunity!! You do need a reservation for the animal tours and they have summer camp so call Ahead to make sure it's available. Parking is in the lot.

Today we had our son's 8th Birthday at Level Up! To say it was awesome is an understatement. We…read moredecided prior to the party that the kids would build individual rooms to be put together to create a dungeon. Mark and Mara had everything all set up prior to the kids arrival. They then step by step told the kids what the needed to create their rooms. After the dungeon was created, Mark pulled out a game Level Up! developed, 'Dungeon Madness: Time Crash.' Every child was immersed into the game. We had to pry them away for cake, which has never happened. Oh and they were having so much fun the party ended an hour later than scheduled. We cannot thank Mark and Mara enough for making our son's birthday top notch! Check them out and ask them about Dungeon Madness: Time Crash.

First off, the dog park is amazing. Huge with lots of space, separated areas for small and large dogs, agility play equipment, benches and the like. You must have a city dog license and it seems that access to the park is using an RF tag to open the gate. Nearby, an ADA compliant playground, fitness equipment and a disc golf course. And that's just half the park. On the other side, a regular playground with a splashpag, picnic shelters, a massive baseball/softball complex and walking trails and a mountain bike trail. Huge parking area. Many of the fields are lighted. And there is a public restroom near the playground. Wow! [Review 16906 overall - 3233 in North Carolina - 422 of 2022.]

We had my daughters birthday party here recently. I couldn't have been happier with the way the…read moreparty turned out. The prices are more than reasonable and all of our guests had a blast. The horses were in "costume" when we arrived with a blanket and headpiece to coordinate with a costume for each child as they ride. My daughter lived the unicorn princess costume and the boys loved the prince/knight costume. There was a game that they played with the kids as they ride and it included several other kids. So even though only 3 ride at a time, there was always 6 involved and the other kids played cornhole while waiting their turn. The only thing I would have changed is the party room. Setup was cute and they did work with me on decorations. It was very small. Barely enough room for kids and really not room for parents. It was insanely hot in there. There was an AC but I guess they forgot to turn it on and we thought maybe it was broken. The room was also pretty dark with very little natural light so not great for pictures (because I'm picky like that - I love to take nice pics). I almost wish we could've had a picnic table under a tree somewhere instead. Overall I would def go there again and highly recommend to anybody for a party!
