My teenager had a great time on the Treetop Journey course. He was able to complete all 3 pathways…read moremultiple times within the hour timeframe. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpfully supervised everyone on the course. The course is in the middle of a large park and complete shaded by trees. We went during a heat advisory and the temperatures on the course were easily 10-15 degrees lower due to the shade and tree breeze. We will absolutely be back for the Treetop Adventure course when he is old enough that I don't have to go with him!

My husband and I went to Canopy as a belated birthday present to him and we had an awesome time!…read moreWe've done a few other adventure parks before and this was possibly a little more challenging than the others but just as fun! Every two obstacles there was a zip line which was a great break for my shaky legs and arms. It was tough - even the lowest two levels - but I love feeling like my arms and legs had a great workout! I hope we can return and try the hardest two at some point!

Everyone enjoyed themselves and we all left in one piece. With 4 total courses It's smaller than many other courses I've been on, but still very challenging. With an hour & a half I completed 3. I will say it's definitely more a challenge course than a ziplining experience, so keep that in mind!

I've been to Urban Air on numerous occasions:Spring break, summer vacation, birthday parties, rainy…read moredays ect. At every occasion my kids have left happy and thrilled by the adventure they have had. Compared to competitors Urban Air ranks high on my list. Here is what we love: - Play Space: there is literally something for everyone. Trampolines, dodge ball, ropes course and laser tag! -seating: there is plenty of places for parents to sit while the kids get the zoomies out. They even have comfy massage chairs (at a cost) -cleanliness: this facility is very clean and well maintained! What I disliked - The noise: it is LOUD! I highly recommend noise cancelling headphones for anyone that is sensitive to sound. My ears physically hurt when I'm here so I always have headphones! -the check in process: it's cashless and done via kiosks. Regardless of the amount of times I've been here the kiosk never remembers my info and I always have to re enter it. -jump socks: you must have Urban Air socks to jump here! No exceptions. They will only honor socks with their branded logo. If you don't have them you have to buy them.

This is new to the area. I saw ads on meta for months promoting Urban Air…read more It was super crowded. I think that's mainly because it's new and it's spring break. Lines were all very long. I stood on the line for close to 20 minutes when I finally get up there, the cashier says I need to complete the waiver. I did have the waiver done before I arrived, but on their end my children's names didn't populate so the cashier says I need to stand on a different (long) line, complete the waiver again then get back on another long line to return to get to get wrist bands and socks. I expressed I didn't want to get back on the long line after standing there already. She looked at me with attitude and didn't even acknowledge what I was saying. This is when I'd normally leave a business but my kids were eager to participate. So I went on both long lines again just for admissions. Once inside tables were very dirty if empty. I went to the concession stand asked for spray to clean myself. The staff told me I needed to wait because he was making orders. I waited then I finally saw a janitor staff. He was actually very kind and helped me right away. (That's why I'm giving an extra star). Later my kids wanted to play the arcade games. I didn't realize the kiosk was on the arcade floor but I asked 4 different staff members where I can purchase the arcade card. None of them knew. They finally asked a supervisor and he directed me. Pros: spacious, they can host parties, food on site, zip line, different experience than most activity spaces in the area, custom packages with tier leveled access Cons: price not worth experience, socks which are mandatory are an extra expense, staff not well trained yet I think they will probably improve once they're established a bit longer, but for now it seems like they weren't prepared to open despite there being so many employees. I'll try again and I'll update my review.

Busch Gardens on Father's Day wasn't as bad of an idea as I thought. We got there early enough to…read moreenjoy the park before it got crowded. Everyone was able to enjoy the rides of their choice without having to wait in long lines. We try to go at least once a year(not much of a ride rider) and enjoy the park through our children and grandchildren. Seeing them enjoy the rides, shows and food, keeps bringing us back. The park is beautifully kept. The employees are always friendly and welcoming. They offer a variety of foods and drinks for all palates. My suggestion to anyone who plans to visit multiple times in one season is to buy a membership that includes parking.

Shared this review on Google, wanted to share here as well:…read more So many accessibility issues within this park, especially for wheelchair users such as myself. For reference, I use a battery powered chair that is 74 lbs. I got stuck at the loch ness monster exit due to my wheelchair drifting, because the pavement built was uneven. I even scraped my arm on the fence. I had 2 strangers help pull me out, only for the exit to lead me to the middle of a huge hill. A kind woman made sure I got up the hill safely. Not a great start to my day, I didn't even end up getting on the ride because I did not want to go back to that area. The accessibility program itself is extremely flawed. It requires you to walk up and into every single ride, grab a wait time, leave, and come back. Problem is, when nearly half the park has uneven terrain, there's not many places to park my chair to wait. It also drained my battery immensely. Not to mention how painful it would be for other disabled people, who do not use wheelchairs, to walk back and forth all day just to get a wait time. There's a very easy solution to this; let us request wait times virtually. I wasn't able to enjoy the day due to the stress of my battery dying on me, which is exacerbated by the fact that there are so many hills throughout this park, draining the battery even further, just to find somewhere to wait until it's time for me to get on the ride. This isn't just inconvenience, there are so many safety hazards. I just don't think it is a good look for Busch Gardens if someone attending their parks hurts themselves or others due to their own accessibility systems failure This review will probably go no where. But it is a shame because I have been attending this park since I was little. Picture attached below is 3 days after my park visit. It's been nearly 3 weeks and I still have a scar from scraping the fence

Riverside Drive is my favorite place for a long, tough training run.

AND there are water fountains strategically placed here and there so you don't get dehydrated on your run. On one side, you'll see the majestic James River and lovely homes on the other. Riverside Drive is one reason Richmond got voted Best River Town in the 2012 issue of Outdoor Magazine. Go on... enjoy the outdoors!
