I would recommend booking ahead of time, especially if you are doing a weekend. We came in on a Friday and I tried to book a Friday or Saturday tour and they normally have 2 or 3 tours, 5 pm, 7 pm or 9 pm. The 5:00 tour is not candlelight so initially that was all available. I tried to get added to a later tour but they can't exceed a certain number. I paid for the 5:00 and at the last minute they had a cancellation on the later tours, so I got the 9:00 and it was perfect. Make sure you can be on your feet for an hour and a half and wear good shoes!! It was fun and I would recommend it highly!!

I've been extremely satisfied with the Pooler Recreation Complex and the City's Recreation…read moreDepartment. The Complex is clean and well maintained. Plenty of bathrooms and plenty of parking! They have a fenced in playground area for kids with swings and play structure. The Complex holds a turf field with concessions. There is also five baseball/softball fields, a multi-use field that is often set up as three soccer fields. Bleacher are onsite but you can also bring your own chair. Finally, the pickleball and tennis courts that are open to public daily from 7am - 10pm. They are well-lit and offer 6 tennis courts and 8 pickleball courts. Also, the Recreation Department is well organized for their youth sports. After dealing with City of Bloomingdale and Effingham County Recs, Pooler makes it feel like a walk in the park - pun intended!

Olivia and Joel have been playing soccer at the City of Pooler Rec Center for a few seasons now,…read moreand it's been a really great experience for us. The organization of both the training sessions and game schedules is something we truly appreciate, it's consistent, and easy to follow. The kids always look forward to their practices and games, and it's clear the program is set up to be both fun and developmental. Games usually run about 40-50 minutes and happen twice a week, which feels like the perfect balance. One funny challenge for us is when Olivia and Joel have games at the same time we end up splitting up and catching half of each game so we don't miss out on either of them. It keeps us busy, but it's totally worth it! it's a great place for kids to stay active, learn teamwork, and enjoy soccer in a supportive environment.

I highly recommend a walking tour instead of a trolley tour. With walking tours you get to be at the buildings as the stories are told. You can take as many pictures as you want, and see exactly what the guide is talking about. With trolleys, they have to circle the block as they tell the stories, and you are unable to really focus on the building. No stopping for pictures or they block traffic. There were plenty of chances to sit down, and the 2 hours went by fast! I highly recommend!

I came for a concert and I will say that might be my new favorite indoor venue. The inside had…read morelots of bathrooms, food, and signage. The staff was also super friendly. My favorite part of the venue: the high bar seats behind the stage where I was able to feel super close to the band. I have not seen a venue like this before. My least favorite thing was the lack of outdoor signage on which line to get in. We winded up in the VIP/ Floor line and they were turning people away after they stood in the line for 30+ minutes as it moved up. Luckily, we were super nice as always, and they slapped some bands on our wrists and said to have fun! My FAV FAV part was how they have figured out rideshares! The staff asks the ride share who they are picking up and then call out your name. It felt like elementary school pick up all over again and worked so smoothly.

We took an afternoon and morning off work so we could do a quick road trip up to Enmarket Arena in…read moreSavannah to see "Weird Al" Yankovic in concert (again) this week. This was the first event we've ever been to at Enmarket Arena. It's about half the size of VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville which holds about 15,000 for concerts whereas Enmarket Arena holds about 7,500. Their minor league hockey team plays there as does their new women's basketball team like our Jacksonville Waves. The venue has been open for 4 years now and somehow, there are still some pain points with respect to customer service / interaction. There seem to be tiers of teams there and I can tell you this: every single person we interacted with that was wearing a blazer was rude to us for absolutely no reason. Even though we encountered more than a few folks who seemed almost mad to be working there I'd like to call out two AMAZING people that helped make our night awesome. These two folks were from other teams (not wearing blazers). First, I'd like to thank Sheila for being a warm, kind hearted person who was just a joy to interact with from the moment we got to the arena until we left. We roamed a lot, so we ran into her more than a few times. Every time we did, she was smiling, helping someone with something and being upbeat. I'd also like to say thank you to Adrienne, our go-to person at the concession stand by section 102. Like Sheila, she was warm, kind and just a very nice person. She happens to know Detroit very well so we had a great conversation about traveling around Michigan as kids. The show itself had a surprising amount of production issues, which I've never seen at a Weird Al concert. Miscued backdrop videos and delayed audio triggers happened a few times through the show, which was just odd to see. Al is a pro though, so he pushed through them without missing a beat or complaining to the crowd about it. I've included photos of us with the workers I shouted out along with a photo of Lauren talking to Weird Al after the show. If you go to the original post in our Facebook group, you'll also see a few long video clips of the opening of the show because I always love how he starts the show from backstage. Another great experience from Weird Al is in the books. Now we have to wait for Tallahassee in September before we see him again. We also need to make it our business to plan a longer trip to Savannah so we can experience more of it next time. This post originally appeared in the Jacksonville Fun, Eats & Drinks Facebook group.

The Second Saturday Art Walk is like the amazing race for art lovers (although much less intense…read moreand with wine involved). But, I was surprised how nicely organized and planned out the Art Walk is! They have a great system in place where patrons of the art walk have to visit ten or more galleries between the hours of 4-8pm to be entered into a raffle prize drawing, and believe me, there are a plethora of prizes! You can RSVP for the evening online, but no one ever checked us off or verified us during the evening, I think this is more a way for them to keep up with attendees post-event. The evening starts at 4pm at the Bohemian Riverfront Hotel, located right on Bay Street, an easy walk from anywhere downtown. You'll enjoy views of the river the hotels own lovely collection while you sip on a glass of complimentary wine and are introduced to several "spotlight" artists and galleries of the night. The reception takes place in the Rocks on the River restaurant during the winter months and the Rocks on the Roof bar during the summer months. Make sure you grab a map at this first stop and head over to the Tiffani Taylor Gallery at 5pm. Here you'll grab your first artist signature, remember, you have tasks to complete along this art-walk!! Having to get signatures from the artists was quite fun, because it allowed us to interact and learn about each artist in a way that was unique and very interactive. Once you finish at the Tiffani Taylor Gallery, you are invited to visit any of the 32 participating galleries. We headed back to River Street next and hit up Gallery 209, with it's impressive history as well as extensive collection (if you're looking to add some excitement to your night, grab a Wet Willie's to drink while you walk!) From there we headed towards City Market and checked out A.T. Hun Art Gallery, Gullah Living and many more. If you're looking for get those ten signatures, City Market Art Center is an easy way to get them all and it's a great time to visit as almost all the galleries were open (plus you can grab pizza to go at Vinnie Van Go-Go's!) When the clock strikes 8pm, make sure you're at the closing reception located at in a back room in the Andaz Hotel. Here you'll be entered into a raffle drawing where it's next to impossible to loose and be able to chat with fellow gallery racers and grab another glass of wine if it suites you. The art walk is a perfect way to meet locals, see a huge assortment of galleries in one night, take the evening at your own pace and appreciate local artists. I highly recommend adding this event to your Second Saturday bucket list!

We had never done a 'haunted' tour in a city and this was a lot of fun!…read moreWe called the tour office early and then met our guide in front of the Moon River Brewing Company. She was dressed in colonial period costume and actually had a rich family history in the area. We grabbed a beer inside and headed up to the second floor of Moon River, which is supposedly very, very haunted. People being hit by objects, power tools switching on by themselves, and other stuff. Anyway, we went to two other pubs and then a haunted square where and indian chief is buried and then on over to the 1790 restaurant for a one of the best Planter's Punch drinks I've ever had. All in all, a really good time. The guide was very knowledgable and was full of fun facts and great stories! This is a must do for adults in Savannah. Really a neat experience. So glad we did this.

What can I say? A five star review from someone who follows zero sports teams? Maybe that's enough?…read moreYes, sign up for the ticket lottery. Login if you are lucky enough to "win". But only after you have done your research as to which games and seats you would like to get tickets for. Then, if your timing was good, wait for your game day and enjoy the show. True, the Bananas play in large venues now. As much as I would try for tickets every year here I don't think you will ever find me watching somewhere else. The stadium is small enough where ride sharing is actually easy both getting there and being picked up after the game. The fact that the Bananas have a post-game "show" outside is a brilliant way to make it not a rush for everyone to leave at the same time. At least when I was there Lyft seemed to be a vastly better option than Uber for Savannah in general. So, if you generally only use one you might want to compare rides in real time before hitting the request button. Food is generally free. Not only free but when you say you want a hot dog you will probably be asked, "How many do you want?" What is for sale, like beer, Dippin' Dots, and some other food stuffs, is all reasonably priced too as is the merch. Are the Bananas the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball? Maybe, Banana Ball isn't baseball, but it's close. It is also entertaining enough for someone who is not into sports, like me. If you have kids, this will be the Disneyland of baseball to them as they get closer to the game than they ever would otherwise.

We had an amazing time this weekend at Grayson Stadium! It's a historic stadium with some really…read moreneat history and now the home of the Savannah Bananas. There are so many great details in this stadium, it's obvious that time went into every decision within. Some things to note: all tickets for Banana league games include unlimited food. This DOES start outside of the stadium during the pre-show. We weren't sure when the free food started so we ate beforehand and now we know. There is some free parking but it's limited so either Uber/Lyft or take your chances. If you get there early enough you shouldn't have an issue finding parking. Left Field Landing tickets include alcohol which does NOT start outside of the gates during the pre-show which was totally fine. We got there early to participate in the pre-game festivities. We opted for the Left Field Landing tickets for Party Animals v Clowns. We weren't sure how the drink rails would be but honestly, i'm so happy we chose that area. For an additional $5 we got all you can drink beer and seltzers. This included several local beers, including the official Savannah Bananas beer and your typical domestic brews + Nutrl seltzer. There was a dedicated bar just for the drink rails area and it was never busy. We did NOT have seats but we had drink rails that we could lean on and put our food/drinks on which was totally fine. Make sure to try and get a spot as far to the right as possible. If you are too far left you can't see the jumbo tron, thats the only drawback to this area. The time of our game was at 1pm and we were concerned about being in the direct sun but with the location of the drink rails, the entire section was fully shaded. People behind home plate and in the closer seating were in the direct sun. I'd take no seating with shade over a seat in the direct sun any day. Unlimited food included chicken sandwiches, hamburger/cheeseburgers, hot dogs, chips, popcorn, cookies, soda, water and popcorn. I was concerned that lines would be long and it would be difficult to actually get food/drinks but I never waited in any food or drink line for more than 1 minute. Aside from the included items there were some extras like Leopolds Ice Cream, cotton candy, trash can nachos, etc. I got some banana cotton candy to take home ($5) and a ice cream float ($8) with banana cream soda (omg it was so good!), vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce. If you don't have the ticket type with drinks included, alcoholic bevvies were very reasonable, almost cheap! Beers were $6, which would normally be $15 or more at most other stadiums and cocktails were $11 which again would be probably double that at any other sporting event. Even though our section was in the outfield, we still were able to see the game and I personally did not feel "left out". The outfielders engaged with us and the party team came to our section many times. The game was engaging, entertaining and fun! We traveled from Orlando for this game and I wold absolutely travel again. The stadium is small so every seat is good and it feels intimate. The prices for food and drink are so inexpensive and the fact that food is included in the ticket price makes it worth it to travel. With our all inclusive tickets I fully expected to be let down or frustrated at some point. Usually when something is like this it's too good to be true so I expected some fine print stipulation or long lines but it never happened! The Fans First approach was truly apparent here and I'm so thankful that business models like this exist! We loved Savannah Bananas already but the more I learn, the more I admire the company!
