My son's favorite part was definitely the mini zip line, and he also loved both bounce areas. I appreciated that there was a playground to enjoy while we waited for the hayride to circle back around -- it kept the kids busy and happy! We also enjoyed seeing the animals and digging in the sand for shark teeth -- that was such a fun and creative touch. Each child got to take home a little pumpkin, which made the day even more special. Some attractions were closed during the weekday trip, but they're open on weekends, so I'm already planning to come back with my family soon. I especially want to come back to try the corn maze -- it looked awesome, but we ran out of time to do it this visit. The farm store was super cute too -- we picked up some Oreo cake pops and a lemongrass mosquito repellent I can't wait to try. Parking was easy, everything was clean and well laid out, and every staff member we met was so friendly and welcoming. Such a great place for families in the fall -- highly recommend Hubb's Family Farm for a fun, wholesome day outdoors!

Great big race track way out in the middle of no where. I mean it's way out in the country…read more However, it's a pretty good size too. I wanted to go to a race track this weekend to watch drag racing. The advertising "flyer" on Facebook mentioned motorcycle rally but it also said drag racing. Advertising: So, I thought I would see motorcycles and cars drag racing. The flyer also said dirt drag races too. On Scene: Approaching race track, I saw signs that said spectators entrance to the right of race track. I parked close by gate and walked to entrance where I paid $20. Ticket counter sales person said I could catch shuttle that would take me closer to grandstands. She also said shuttle would bring me back as it will be making continuous trips. However, I had to walk all the way back to back main entrance after waiting 30 minutes for him in the hot sun. However, Shuttle operator just parked shuttle at main back entrance and got off and was talking to his friends instead of working. I told Ticket operators about this and she says "sorry". She said racing will start up again in a couple hours since it was so hot. So, I left and went back to hotel and told her I will be back in a couple hours. On Scene 2nd time: So, I came back a couple hours later around 7pm when the sun was going down and it was cooler. I showed my arm band which I kept on my wrist so I wouldn't have to pay admission again. Again, shuttle operators not on shuttle. He yelled out get on shuttle and " I will be over there in a second". He finally came but with an attitude this time. He got in drivers seat and turned toward me and said let me call track owner and see if she will let you drive to grandstand area. He came back and said I could. So, I walk back to truck and go through gate showing my arm band. For the first time ever, I saw the Hells Angels motorcycle club at the same place I was. They were selling their stuff and riding their motorcycles which was I thought was pretty cool. I have always wanted to ride motorcycles. So, I have an Interest in motorcycles as I have a motorcycle endorsement on my license. In summary, there was no dirt track drag racing, no race car drag racing and only a few drag races between motorcycles. I did have a good time but I thought it would be better if there had been race car drag races which I was led to believe they were having. Final Thoughts: I will be back for drag races another day. When I do, I might update my experience at that time. So, I might come back. We will just have to wait and see.

The younger ones on…read moreour group were super excited and got to see many types of cars and bikes and ate hotdogs, pizza and chicken sandwich. The older ones in our group signed up to race on the street car and had a blast. For only $20 you can enter your street car, or $10 to get in just to watch. It was the most fun we had in a long time around here. I would recommend to anyone specially since there is not much to do around this area.

The Cowan Museum of History and Science is located in Kenansville NC. The museum is in a house…read morebuilt in 1848. The museum collection focuses on the 19th and 20th century. The museum has agricultural tools; household tools; crafts tools; medical tools and musical instruments. One room is full of gemstones and some of them glow when the case is lit up. I go to a lot of history museums and have not seen some of these artifacts before. I was impressed with an older toaster. I was thankful that I have a washing machine and do not need to clean my clothes in the washing machine tub. Outside is a Botanical Garden with 90 species of native plants. Thhere is also a log cabin; general store and tobacco barn. Even though this is a smaller museum it is full of history and worth a visit.

The town of Mount Olive throws this celebration each year to bring folks together and highlight the wonderful things they have to offer. There's a pickle eating contest, a pickleball tournament, a pickle 5k and a pickle costume contest...this festival is a big dill!! There is a recipe contest where you can show off your skills in making a food item including one of the many Mount Olive products, live music, rides, a car show...I could go on and on. The only real down side is..how popular it has gotten. We chose one of the many parking areas in town to utilize the shuttle, and waited over an hour to even get to the downtown area. The lines at nearly all the food and drink vendors were super long as well. I met a woman who waited 90 minutes for a pickle brined turkey leg. We did pick up one of the maps available to locate different areas of interest and while it was helpful, it took forever to travel a few blocks in the heavy crowds. The Mount Olive company itself had two areas where they handed out all sorts of free samples which was lovely. I did not get to spot the mascot Ollie, or try a pickle margarita-maybe next year!

Today i went in with an associate who has golfed there on many occasions and we wanted to utilized the driving range during our lunch break. We were told it would be a 20 dollar fee on top of the 11 dollar charge for range balls for non members. We then ask when did this start the grey haired gentleman on the register replied a month ago without asking or verifying if either myself or my associate were members or even new members of the country club. I will not be returning and will not be considering a membership given either they aren't consistent with rules and regulations or maybe the fellow today only enforces them with who he wants given the lack of confidence in the tone of his replies.

In keeping with my string of world's largest, Duplin Winery, in Rose Hill, NC, is the World's…read morebest-selling muscadine winery and the oldest winery in North Carolina. It opened back in 1972 and has been family-owned for three generations. Their wines are typically made from muscadine and scuppernong grapes. I learned that they also carry Mothervine Wine, which comes from clippings of the 400-year-old vine in Roanoke Island. Duplin Winery was allowed to take clippings from this Mother Vine and established a new vineyard. Legend suggests the vine may have been planted by Croatan Native Americans or settlers of the Lost Colony. Scuppernong grapes are a white muscadine variety that is North Carolina's official state fruit. Duplin Winery is also known as the winery of the South. There is a large parking lot. The building's exterior looks rustic. Inside, you will be greeted when you enter the door. Remember to get your basket or cart, as it is difficult to carry items without one. The first room has the wines and food products. They had a section for sampling the dips, salsas, crackers and other items. The other room has the wine tasting and gift shop. Then, beyond that, there is the Bistro. I was delighted to find non-alcoholic wines. They offered Muscadine cider, Scuppernong (white), and Muscadine (red). I left with all three. While I didn't get to try the specific Mothervine wine, I did get to try the Alcohol-Free Scuppernong at the Bistro, which features the same historic state fruit variety that made the Mother Vine famous! The gift shop has items to find those perfect gifts or just something for yourself. From the rustic charm to the friendly greeting at the door, Duplin Winery truly lives up to its reputation as the 'Winery of the South.' It's a great stop for the history, the gifts, and the delicious sweet treats.

This is the very first Civil War monument I have ever visited in my life. I found it quite…read morebeautiful, informative, and (of course) very sobering. That time was such a tragic one for our country, on so many levels. The visitor center portion of the monument is small, but educational. Its visual displays cover the background of the war and what led to the battle that occurred on these hallowed grounds. The brief-but-informative intro film (shown every 30 minutes) was a great introduction to the war (especially for my daughter, who somehow managed to get through 12 years of public school without any knowledge of the Civil War). There's also a walking tour with 10 miles of paths available to wander through the many monuments in the area, as well as a driving tour with accompanying (free) audio app. I found the driving tour a bit confusing, but still interesting. We did get out at one of the locations for a 1.5 mile loop walk through one of the battle locations. We spent about 2 hours here but I feel we only skimmed the surface of what their was to see. It would be interesting to devote even more time to this memorial if ever I return.
