They also have laser tag and an arcade, so there's plenty to do. What impressed us most was the staff. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and helpful, but one moment really stood out. While we were still playing mini golf, a staff member came to find us and let us know a laser tag game was starting soon and suggested we join. If we had waited until we finished golfing, it probably would have just been our two boys in the arena. Instead they got to play with a full group, which made the game way more exciting. That extra level of customer service made a big difference. The kids had an absolute blast and we really appreciated the staff looking out for us like that. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a fun outing with kids.

We had no plans to go to test and tune and were mainly there for the swap meet - something I would describe as a flea market for car parts.

Add insult to injury the "car show" with 20 cars tops and top to it all off of there wasn't even a real bathroom - just three dirty port a potties with lines several people deep. If I'm going to pay $10 to get into a field a real bathroom should at least be provided! I guess the appeal of this establishment is lost on me....

Plus, shuttle buses are available, as thousands swarm to this event; which makes parking difficult. It only happens on one weekend day, each year, in September. So, mark your calendar! Lastly, I only gave this event 4 stars because (I felt) it lacked a good selection of food. One gets hungry when browsing in the hot sun; and the cuisine pickings were pretty slim!

Mothers Day (Saturday) wine tour, visited 3 wineries, this was the first…read more As we know, everyone's palette is different so you may not care for my recommendations, and vice versa. But I enjoyed the Scarlett and the Dragonberry wines. I learned I'm not a fan of moonshine, but I could tolerate the limoncello spirit Of the 3 wineries we visited I believe they had the largest of varieties to sample ($10 for 7wines and $5 for 4spirits) and there were 21wine options and 15 spirits to choose from) The ones I chose were more pleasing than the ones I chose at the other places TWas a rainy day, so we didn't venture outside but there is a deck (partially covered) to enjoy the peace and solitude of the area Two restrooms, plenty of seating, tastings are 1. Chosen by you on a slip of paper, 2. Presented to the pourer, who (during our visit) 3. Calls your name when your samples have been prepared and 4. You go up to get it Unfortunately they were Iill prepared for our group of ~16 ladies. We were there for over an hour and a couple of ladies didn't get their samples until 3-4minutes before we were to leave. I do not recommend ONE pourer of 7-11 drinks each, for 16 people. The math/timing just doesn't work, and we were left mostly talking to each other while we waited 30-45min or more for our samples The idea is to sample and chat at the same time, not gulp to leave in time. Fortunately Harford Brew Tour didn't actually force us to gulp...to meet any departure deadline, so we had time to savor -compare-chat It's not a fancy place, no cushiony seats nor dark oak bar nor sommelier to explain the wines, however: each wine in the list does have the flavor expectations/ingredients. And the pourers draw arrows and numbers on paper plates to help guide you on your choices. Very family-down-home vibe. There was an adjacent room (closed) that would allow for more people, and probably a private party. Our party had to wait for our samples, I felt sorry for the few people who trailed in behind us. There is a basket of small snacks you can purchase along with cheese. But they also allowed (or at least our party) to bring in snacks if your own 3stars , because it took an hour to get samples. But the wines all seemed to be great

This wasn't our first visit to Fiore, but surprisingly this is my first time reviewing…read more We love the Fiore wine & winery. Normally we had the opportunity to stock up on bottles during MD Wine Festival season, but with all the festivals canceled we had to drive out to the winery to re-stock. The winery is gorgeous-they have a beautiful home-villa type building in which you can sit indoors in a nice wide open dining hall type atmosphere with homey furniture, outside on a variety of shaded tables, or out on their patio again with shaded or open table options. They offer tastings of both wine and distilled liquors ($5 for 5 wines or $5 for 4 liquors)-and both selections have a plethora of choices to appeal to anyone's taste buds. Knowing their wines, we just selected a bottle to open, then went to spend time on the patio-relaxing enjoying the day and view. (They allow you to bring dogs and your own food, so it's very easy to make a beautiful picnic day adventure.) We stocked up on a number of favorite wines to-go, my only woe- they don't have a great wine club member perk-just a case club. I definitely recommend a visit!

The MD State Fair has been a very good fair experience for me. Each year seems to bring strategic…read moreimprovements. For example, last year the seating area for the ribs, corn, and smoked meats vendors was situated in an area so to not obstruct walkways. However, what was new in 2025 (at least to my knowledge from previous years) is only patrons of those vendors could sit in that seating area. It could have been the case in previous years and it just wasn't enforced. I don't think the MD State Fair has congregate dining areas apart from those in the vicinity of the food pavilion and a few low-capacity, all-purpose seating in random areas which is frustrating because many of the food vendors are situated along narrow walking paths where you have to compete with ride goers. What keeps me from giving the MD State Fair a 5* experience is despite some improvements, it still lacks the variety of unique and creative food items and fair-goer experiences which are common at other thriving fairs around the country. The food court here is good, but lacks creativity as it essentially serves traditional table food with few novelty items. But no iconic items. The planners do a great job of organizing the farm animal exhibit. And it is expansive. The rides are your typical carnival rides. The value at the fair is the wristband and fun pass cards for ride goers. I recommend saving your fun pass as the same pass vendor is used every year, so you don't have to pay for the activation fee. You'll just need to load money onto the card every year. Also, there are plenty vendors that offer unlimited refillable soft drinks at a discount. In my opinion, it is best to choose your preferred beverage, purchase the refill price, and stick to refilling at that particular vendor throughout the park during your visit. There are many sweet tea and lemonade stands that offer this deal. Also, the cups are reusable, so you can keep them as souvenirs and bring them back at future fairs for refills. Parking on grounds at the fair is $15 and first-come, first served. The parking lot is uneven, very hilly, and on grass (and when it rains, mud). I recommend arriving early to get a good spot close to the main entrance of the fair. At the end of a long day, it is exhausting to walk up and down hills to your car. Parking spots are not marked, so workers direct parking traffic. Again, arrive early to get a good and hassle free spot. I like that there are restrooms at the front on the inside near the main entrance and indoors at the animal exhibits. The fair grounds isn't vast, so unless you have an itinerary to visit all the exhibits, you can get through the fair in less than 2.5 hours tops. Overall, the fair is a good experience with delicious food and entertaining activities for young, old, and families.

It's smaller than some other state fairs, which isn't a bad thing if you don't feel like walking as much in 85-degree weather. My food and beverages were entirely within the confines of the Maryland food section. I got the pit lamb sandwich at the Lamb Stand, and this was like that Gin Blossoms concert where they opened with Hey Jealousy: impressive, but sets the bar too high. The meat is superb so you should take a few bites before adding mint jelly or horseradish. Try their sweet tea. The fried green tomatoes weren't my favorite but that chipotle mayo demands your attention. I liked the pit beef from jake's and the peach sundae. How I can not give five stars to a state reachable by light rail? If you've been to the Minnesota bash, you might be slightly disappointed by the relatively normal size pumpkins in the 4-H building, but the tomatoes are enjoyable, as are the quilt and photo exhibits. How serious are these folks about their work? There are hay-baling prizes and the category of "bee-related photos" gets further refinement into amateur and professional categories.

A friend of mine had…read morebeen asking me to stop in and check it out for a while and since I had a Sunday off with no other plan I figured it would be a good chance to take the drive out there. They aren't open every day except for Tuesday and Wednesday. If you are thinking about going on a Thursday Friday or Monday be aware those dates are by appointment only. They are also available to host private events. Looks can be deceiving, when I arrived it looked like it was someone's home. Come to find out it actually is the owners of the Vineyard's home and they have a tasting room attached. The parking lot is very small and only able to accommodate a few cars. I recommend car pooling if you can. They have a very nice patioSet up with fire pits and heat lamps that I would be willing to bet would be nice to sip wine and have a conversation. It was a little bit too cold for my taste when I went on a Sunday in November so I chose to go inside. The tasting room is small and due to Covid restrictions they have limited seating. Mask use is mandatory here. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the wines that I have. I don't know too much about wines Oh I opted to have a tasting. For seven dollars I got six samples of wine to choose from. After sampling them all I made a decision to purchase a bottle before I left. Definitely a great experience and I recommend anyone who enjoys wine to make a trip.
