We went the day after the grand opening and decided to go at 10 a.m., hoping to beat the crowd; the joke was on us. The splash pad is a good size and has a lot of fountains; it was just busier than expected given the timing of our visit. There is an area for younger kids, but it is not clearly marked, so keep an eye out for that. I will add that there are large rocks in the splash pad; I assume they are meant as a slip-and-slide type feature, but I personally saw a few accidents, so use caution with your little ones. As it got more crowded, we made our way to the park area, and it did not disappoint. There is a zip line, jungle gym, ropes, slides...there truly is something for every age. Plenty of shade and seating all around, which, as a parent, I really appreciated, and parking was great. We will be back, and it has been added to our list of things to do!

The atmosphere is always lively, the staff is welcoming, and the beer is always flowing to enjoy while watching the game. It's a great local experience that never disappoints. The promotions are always a blast, the fireworks nights are fantastic, and it really captures the classic minor league charm. The tickets are cheap and the mascot is cool. I think catching a game is one of the best things to do in Richmond.

Given that it is the off-season, teams usually have a significant clearance section due to incoming merchandise for their new season. As luck would have it, I was right; several hats and shirts were 40-50% off. Plus, I had the opportunity to ask some questions with the team's staff. They mentioned that I needed to return for the 2025 season; plus, they're building a new stadium called CarMax Park, which will open in 2026. Also, you can't miss the stadium; I mentioned to the staff that it looks as if someone dropped a section of Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium in Richmond.

My social league team made the bocce finals last month and they were held in City Stadium…read more It was my first visit; otherwise I had only driven by or seen it in the distance. Also I'm not a soccer fan so the chances of my future attendance at a Kickers game are slim to none. I do know some larger-scale events are held here, though. The stadium could definitely use a touch of paint. It's clearly been around for a while. But the field was nice and made for good bocce ball throwing. The stands were fine too. I didn't use the restrooms or buy any concessions. I'd return in the future if a festival or event sounds fun.

This was my first visit to the Kicker's stadium so I wasn't sure what to expect. Here are my…read morethoughts: Pros: Lots of loyal fans and plenty of space for kids to play. Tons of food options and vendors which is great. The stadium overall is run down, but it's a part of the Richmond experience to me, so no big deal there. Cons: The speaker system is TERRIBLE and needs replacing... it's very loud and muffled, almost like I'm watching an episode of Charlie Brown. This was the most annoying part of the game. Tickets a $12 a piece, for anyone over the age of 3. This seems like a bit much to me - GA tickets at the Squirrels stadium are $7 a piece, I feel like it should be more comparable there. Also, I think kids under 10 shouldn't be $12 either, maybe more like $8 or just less. I can't imagine paying more per ticket than what we paid for this game. Overall it was a good game although Kickers lost 1-0. I would come back, even though I'm not a diehard soccer fan!

We went back this year because the girls really wanted to dance. We just had the recital and it was disappointing 1. It was $30 per ticket because it was at the Carpenter theater 2. The dancers names do not appear anywhere...not even on a photocopy on colored paper or something 3. Some of the dances were good (Bollywood was great) but most were unimaginative, poorly choreographed and not in synch. 4. Our daughters' tween class had no discipline, kids doing their own thing, not being corrected on proper techniques of ballet or even behavior and they certainly did not learn proper ballet 5. The choreography for the tween class was similar to their preschool dance class 6. Our kids rarely missed class, and worked on their routines at home - which is when I found out that they did not do much barre technique. The instructor had no control or authority in class. It was a glorified, expensive babysitter. If they are going to charge these prices they need to bring a professional instructor. Not worth the money, now I have find another ballet place...ughh! The second reviewer is correct - the studio is quite impressive and clean; however, they are still charging similar prices to Richmond Ballet ($32 starting prices) and the teenager teaching our girls class had no control of the classroom and we were charged the same price as the more experienced instructors. I'm happy for those people who are happy, good for you but that was not our feeling. In my limited experience (I danced as a kid in NY, my girls danced in 2 companies in VA and 1 overseas) for the prices they are charging other dance studios have done better - and at least put the dancers names in the program. Bottom line to Spotlight - make sure ALL of your instructors are ready to go into a classroom - or at least have another instructor to watch and advise as a mentor for younger teachers (as we are all paying the same price and expecting the same outcomes from instructors), move to a more appropriate venue both for the level of the students and accordingly the prices, and put their names in the program - easy to fix.
