Great hike that takes you to both sides of the falls. The overlooks are nicely separated and provide excellent views. The suspension bridge is a great photo spot. If you are not a hiker, there are rest spots along the trail with seats at the walk down 200 steps is easy, if you walk up either side of the rim it is a good hike. Luckily there are stairs. I think it was $5.00 to get in, definitely worth it.

Breathtaking views from several lookouts. Such a powerful river. The falls are beautiful and there are so many to see. The trails are clear and easy to navigate. Very strenuous hike. Lots and lots of stairs. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water. Hiking to the bottom and looking up is amazing. Definitely worth the hike.

Bring your hiking boots and sneakers, a bunch of water and walking sticks and be prepared to do a stair master exclusive because you are going to get it in when you visit this gorgeous state park! The gorge, the inner circle northern trail and the southern trail all have breath taking views and brings you close to nature. Loved it.

This is a lovely state park. We got there around 3PM, and easily found parking. The people working there were helpful with answering my questions. They provided a map of the North and South Rim trails. We did the North Rim trail from end to end, along with the extra 1/4 mile added, near observation area 1. I highly recommend the extra 1/4 mile trail area beyond observation area 1. The view there is the best, of the overall area, the Fall colors and the gorge. I found the hike to be easy to moderate in intensity, including the 300+ steps down into the gorge and back up. Overall, my Fitbit clocked about 3 miles. We took our time, stopped to enjoy the view points and take photos, and finished the hike in 2 hours.

What a great location to just walk right over and hike the gorge trails, lovely views along the way! The campground is in a great location, well kept up, a nice clean laundry on premises. No camp store to speak of, just a small booth. The campsites are spacious enough, but not private at all. We had a long pull through site, but it was very open to the sites above and below so as to give no one any privacy. We would go again as it's a perfect spot to visit the gorge.

My family and I went to Tallulah Gorge over Labor Day weekend. I was happy to see that there was plenty of shade, clean restrooms, and different options of trails to take. There are decent restaurants nearby. I'd love to go back in the cooler months to take the steps all the way down to the bottom of the gorge.

One of the more popular state parks & waterfalls in northeast GA, not my personal favorite but it does offer some stunning views, it is very clean and has way more of an employee and park ranger presence than all of the other smaller parks and trails in the area. You could spend hours on hours exploring this park but if you're looking for a more private hiking experience another park would be for you.

My Nephew and I went this weekend and had a great time. The State Park store and interpretive center are extremely nice and have clothing, food, drinks and other essentials you might need besides life support after the stairs. Did I say stairs? Yes, there's over 1099 if you do the entire trail and yes you will definitely know you did those stairs. A 5 mile hike is easy compared to those stairs lol. That being said we completed the rim trails and have some great pictures of the suspension bridge above the falls and of the falls themselves. I loved this State Park. Georgia got this one right.

Beautiful park and great clean trails. The stairs to go down all see everything is in good shape and with them you can really enjoy this beautiful place. If you struggle with stairs they have plenty of benches on the stairwell so you can take your time and rest in-between.

Tallulah Gorge was absolutely beautiful. We chose to come on a Sunday morning and had most of the park and trails to ourselves. It rained most of the weekend we visited so the falls were absolutely roaring. It took us about 2 hours (with an almost 3 year old) to hike the north rim trail down to the suspension bridge, back up to the south rim and then around the dam back up the north rim. Beautiful views but VERY many steps. Roughly 35 floor levels according to my fit bit. Wish we had the time and energy for the Hurricane Falls loop which was another 250 or so steps.The interactive center was one of the most impressive I've seen for a state park, with a nice little gift shop we picked up a few items for memories.10/10 experience, great state park.

Beautiful area and nice overlook areas of the gorge. Loved the stairs down to the foot bridge and then on down to one of the falls. Definitely a little workout coming back up. There is a water fill-up station on both sides of the gorge, partway up the stairs.

This state park is one of the deepest and most spectacular gorges in the East coast. It has several waterfalls and 20 miles of hiking trails ranging from easy to challenging. It has a visitor center outside which we parked our vehicle. Visitor center is beautiful and like the usual ones, a restroom and a gift shop. I went during the fall peak and had a great time witnessing the fall colors. Hike includes lots of steps that takes you down to the falls, but the journey is worth it.

The hike we embarked on was truly wonderful, offering a mesmerizing loop and breathtaking scenic views. We relished every moment spent on this trail, feeling invigorated by the beauty of nature that surrounded us.

I'm convinced this might be the prettiest state park in the southeast! I spent the day here hiking down the stairs to the viewing platform, and it is absolutely gorgeous down there. The hike back up is no joke though, so you'll definitely wanna make sure you're able to physically handle it before heading down, and that you bring plenty of water. Luckily, if you forget to bring any, there's a very nice visitors center and gift shop where you can purchase some, and there's a couple of water fountains on the stairs. I'd love to come back and get a gorge floor permit at some point, as it would be super neat to explore more down there!

We so enjoyed the day at Tallulah Gorge. The Interpretive Center offered informative exhibits, & very helpful & knowledgeable staff. The several waterfalls were beautiful. The Gift Shop had a variety of quality items & cold beverages on a very hot day. The 600 plus round-trip steps down to the suspension bridge was a challenge but well worth it! I did it & I'm 73 years old.

On whitewater release days the south face stairs are closed to non-boater traffic. The waterfalls during these releases are incredibly powerful and much larger than normal. There are also several overlooks that allow you to see into the gorge and observe boater traffic on release days.

Never disappoints! Confirms each time I go in out of shape but it doesn't stop me from going to the bottom for amazing views! Other visitors were friendly and sympathetic! The gift shop has some pretty cool things also! The staff, as always, very nice!

Great park, tons of amazing views points and great trails. The entry fee was $5 per car and they accept cash at the booth or card inside their gift shop, which was a huge plus if you forgot to bring cash! Make sure you come prepared to walk if you actually want to get down close to the waterfalls, the overlook point one however did not take very long to walk at all and the views are amazing from there I think it was a quarter mile walk to it. There are lots of benches all over the park to take a break when you need as well as free water fountains. They have nice clean restrooms at the beginning of the trail. I also noticed on my way out that they had chargers for electric vehicles in a couple of parking spots within the park which may come in handy for those with electric vehicles visiting the park.

Loved every part of our hike down to the gorge; although, it does need a better rope at the end of the sliding rock so you can get back up the rock easier.

Started off my trip here as my first hike in the area and I have to say it was definitely a pleasant experience. I did the loop trail around then. I immersed myself down in the gorge. put up a hammock to watch the waterfalls. then got into the water slid down a rock jumped off a rock. how terrific! unfortunately, I didn't do a good job following the gentleman at the tutorial as I definitely got off the beaten path and was far and beyond away where I should have been. 7 hours later I got out of the park. Note to self. next time, follow all trails or pay more attention to the gentleman doing the tutorial. phenomenal experience though such beauty! by far, the most rigorous aspect of this was the man-made stairs that will definitely take a toll on your knees. I always prefer natural terrain, but you'll definitely get your steps in no doubt about that!

Trailblazers 🤣🥰.Yesterday's hike! This trail is my favorite GA hike. Almost died out here the first go around but completed it 🤣. Yesterday, no tickets were available to hike past the floor before 12pm. There's over a 1000 stairs and a bridge that can give you all the feels of being sea sick. I could hike this trail a million times and not get tired of it. Check it out!!

Gorgeous Gorge 🤗 and amazing hiking 🥾 trails on the north 🧭and south 🧭 rims. Stunning suspension bridge 🌉over Hurricane Falls and when traversing from the north and south rims at the dam 🦫, it's a beautiful viewing 📷 spot.If you want to take in the suspension bridge to get closer to the falls, you'll want to be prepared for strenuous and steep 🪜 stairs. Wear proper shoes 👟 and don't try it with health 🏥conditions or ages where you aren't active. There are still plenty of walking 👟trails where you can see 🔭 amazing things.🥾🌄⛺⛱️🩴

We earn our 1,199 steps pin! We went in August and I recommend you bring plenty of water and maybe some snacks. Believe me when I say one 16 oz bottle of water won't be enough. It was a beautiful sight but I'm sure that beauty really stands out during fall.

We camped in the park campground and visited the gorge. The campground sites are kind of close but everyone was pretty respectful of their neighbors and friendly. They respected quiet time. The park personnel were really nice.We hiked the north and south rim of the gorge including the suspension bridge. We didn’t attempt to get a permit for the floor of the gorge as I didn’t think I could make it. The steps coming up from the suspension bridge were killer for me but the had platforms spaced out to give you a chance yo catch your breath. They also had benches and water fountains. Water was warmish but appreciated as it was 90 out and extra water was needed.

Absolutely beautiful!!! Picture perfect. The hike up to the twin falls was amazingly relaxing. Some steep parts but overall not bad.

Great location and easy to drive, but please note that the park charges $5 per person instead of per car. Overall, it's a lovely place to relax with your family and enjoy the fall foliage. I highly recommend it.

It's such a beautiful place. Absolutely worth it. The trail is steep at some points, but it is not too far, and there are lots of benches along the way to rest if necessary. Make sure you drink water before you go and bring water with you. There is also a great gift shop.

Beautiful, well maintained, pristine, Federal Parks land.The trail is paved and only a 1 mile round trip hike.Easy enough for fit and experienced hikers. Moderate to challenging inclines for beginners and elderly.If you have knee issues or joint pain don't miss the nature trail next to the parking lot and enjoy the short trail next to the creek. Plenty of seating and beautiful views everywhere.Great overlook next to the gift store.Los of picnic area.

It's a pretty walk less than 2 miles but a little steep, you can take a break if you need along the way... Spectacular view !,

What a great place for a quick hike and amazing views. Your time with nature will not be wasted here!! If your close swing by the roads aren’t too steep and the walk isn’t that far, a little bit of a climb but you will get there.

Such an amazing place . Entry was 5$ each person . They have picnic shelters, restroom , parking lot , gift shop . Nice paved trail . Hike was easy around 1 mile . There are stone benches along the way . It is a must see . Definitely come back again

Wow, I didn’t think we have such a beautiful place within 75 miles. The place is magnificent. The falls were beautiful, give you a feeling of calm and serene. It was a short to the falls from the parking area, it may be hard for toddlers to hike but you can take wagons if you would like. The falls flows from the top to the bottom of the city Helen, it was such a beautiful view. It is a must visit.Plenty of parking, national park pass works here. Carry cash with you as it’s a small place and lots of vendors do not carry a swiping machine. There are a lot of picnic areas and playground for kids too. You can do either barbecue or pot luck or takeout. We enjoyed an every bit of the park! Love to visit again.

Such a beautiful waterfall, with just 0.4 miles easy hike. 15-20 mins drive from Helen, totally worth the views. National park annual pass also works here.

Anna Ruby Falls is short hiking trail leads to an amazing view of double falls. On the day me and my fiancee went it was a drizzling 🌧️ Morning, this boosted our Serenity levels. We couldn’t resist falling in love with this falls, we keep visiting as it’s 1:30HR drive from Atlanta and easy accessible from parking area. The overall experience was surrealistic 😍💚

It’s very friendly for people with disabilities the whole thing is paved. There are quite a lot of people thought and it’s steep at parts. Definitely an easy hike to get close to nature. The pictures don’t do it justice to the magnitude and height of the falls. It’s conveniently inside unicoi state park which has a beach to swim in if you want to extend the trip. The falls will take about 1 hr tops. One thing to note is that it closes at 4pm, which is pretty early. The gift shop staff was friendly and they have creative gifts. We visited off season early May during the week and there was still a good amount of people there. I can imagine it gets a lot busier, it’s $5 per person to get in.

Visited Ana Ruby Falls in February,The short hike to the falls is well-maintained and out and back. Highly recommend visiting Ana Ruby Falls in the off-season!

Very beautiful! 1 mile round trip hike to the falls. Nice paved trail, with informative signs along the way. $5 per person entry fee.

Absolutely beautiful park! Entry was $5 per car, and they have a wonderful visitor center/ gift shop / restrooms at the parking lot. The walk up to the falls is fairly easy, with plenty of places to rest if needed. They have seating at the top to sit and admire the falls, plenty of vantage points for viewing.

Beautiful and well maintained park. Easy 1 mile round trip hike, shaded, and paved the whole way up to the falls with lookout points. A bit steep at some points but nothing too difficult. At just $5 per person to get in it’s a steal.

A must see waterfall in Georgia, or the southeast for that matter. Great hike and viewing. Photo ops all along the way.

And an amazing adventure for my grandchildren. The excitement when they saw the waterfall, priceless!! Great exercise !! Great way to allow the grandkids to experience the outdoors and learn about history along the walk. This is truly a great place to come and visit and relax. I did a couple of recordings of the waterfall just amazing

Anna Ruby Falls was stunning! It felt so good to be around God‘s creations! It smelled really good, and the sound of the waterfall was serene and beautiful. I see!

A MUST SEE! Very easy beginner hike. amazing reward and view. Took amazing pictures on my camera here not very crowded. Went on a Sunday and had a normal amount of people there. Still very easy to take pictures. If you’re coming to Georgia, definitely check this place out!

Such a beautiful falls!!! It opens at oak and I was there early, not a lot of ppl were there. The hike can be strenuous depending on your level. I was in and out within 25 minutes.

The trail is wide and well-paved and winds up through the trees to the two parts of Anna Ruby Falls. Interestingly, the two falls cascade from noticeably different heights.Take your time walking as the trail gains elevation quickly. The falls were lovely and worth the hike.

This is definitely the gold mine experience you want to pick!! Very professional staff, on time, easy and informative tour that only takes 20 min or so. The gold panning is included with tour and we also did the gem mining. It was the most fun we have the entire trip! All my teenagers (15-18) had a great time so this mom was happy! I wanted to go back again the next day!

This place is a must-see if you're in the area!The tour was remarkable, with a lot of interesting information! Everyone was so nice and friendly! Especially our tour guide, Rusty. Thar man has a unique personality and a charisma!Bring your kids to look for gems in the sand and a gold! This is so worth the time and the money!

What a fun little destination to check out an actual past working Gold Mine. They have done such a nice job with the entire process and getting to pan for gold at the end is a fun little touch. Our guide was fantastic and shared a lot of history.

Didn’t know what to expect before going. Stopped here on the way to Helen and I must say it’s a nice experience. Everyone in the store were so welcoming and the tour guide Chris was amazing.

Took my 4 year old son today and it was just the best experience ever! He had a blast & I’ll be honest, I did too! The panning for gold was fun but for little kids, the gem mining part was the best! Absolutely recommend to anyone! Our guide was funny, attentive and very knowledgeable. Interacting with all the kids & making them feel a part of it!

We really enjoyed our trip to the mine! The family all felt like it was worth the price! I had expected the tour to be longer but honestly it was fantastic and we loved “panning” as well! Also I felt like the gift shop is very affordable!

We had so much fun on the tour! If I remember correctly, our guide was Michaela. She was so funny and patient with us! We'd love to see this place expand and more tunnels become available!

Very nice guided tour of the gold mine. Fun and interesting experience. Easy walk-through in the mines. Cool temp throughout with a slight breeze. Very nice all around underground experience to say the least.

Our family went on Christmas Eve and had a great time. The kids did the activities before our gold mine tour. The tour was informative and entertaining. It was great for kids and adults. Definitely recommend.

What a great experience for all ages! The tour was well led and the guide was knowledgable and personable. We enjoyed mining for gold as well.

Our tour guide, miner Lisa, was fantastic!! Quite the experience and I would return. LOTS of facts to learn and she had a great personality and sense of humor!!Well worth the $ and I’d highly recommend a visit here!!

We were visiting from South Florida this Easter weekend and really enjoyed the tour with our guide Reese. He was funny and personable. If you like museums and historical facts you'll really enjoy this experience. There is complimentary gold panning included with admission, and you can also add on searching for gems in a large sand bucket for $30 a bucket. The tour itself is really awesome, you'll go underground and hear all about the day in the life of a gold miner. Perfect for all ages.

Seriously, what a fabulous experience we had at the Consolidated Gold Mine. Miner Chandler, our tour guide, did an excellent job sharing the history of the mine, detailing how mining was done before electricity and power tools. It was a snapshot into a day of a miner in the late 1800s, fascinating, educational and terrifying! This was every bit as good as the National Park cave tours we have done. Maybe better. Afterwards, young and old alike loved the opportunity to be a prospector for a few minutes as we panned for gold. The littles absolutely loved sluicing for gems too (an additional cost). 10/10. We will be back.

Unexpectedly awesome!!We had a blast!Loved the tour, we learned so much from our guide. He was young but very well prepared.Loved the mines, it was a first for us but it was super fun, we even got to see a bat, a frog, a salamander and a little snake!We loved gold pinning and looking for gems, it was very fun! We found some pretty cool stones!We went there this past weekend for the last tour at 4pm. It was not crowded at all considering it was the Thanksgiving weekend, maybe because we got there for the last tour. We were a group of 7 and they were so kind to wait for us before closing so we could enjoy the whole experience and take all the pictures and videos we wanted. We really appreciated that! Very polite stuff.100% recommended!

First time here, it was so much fun! Had a great tour guide, Kennedy I think. Several people had the same idea as my family this Tuesday, including a few daycares, but it didn’t feel crowded at all. Plenty of space for everyone. Reservations weren’t needed. Plenty of parking, easy to get to.Friendly and knowledgeable staff!Panning for gold was fun and my family each got 1-3 pieces. We got a bucket of gems and got great finds! We all had a great time, definitely worth it!

Wow, just wow wow wow.Thai is an experience you do not want to miss. We got there first thing on a Saturday morning. We started out by doing our gold pan experience, which comes with your mine tour ticket. There were 5 of us (4 adults and a 2.5 year old) and we all got a flake to 3 flakes of gold.The tour was amazing! It lasted about 45 mins into a mine. I would stay don’t wear nice shoes/clothes as it was dripping a bit and had water in the mine but nothing crazy (I had white shoes and was good but my hat caught a few clay dropped). The miner team was great. She was able to answers everyone’s questions, even the kids that had some silly ones. She also had some fun little jokes and tricks to keep things fun.They have tons of old finds from the mine when it was in working condition. You won’t regret checking this out.If youre claustrophobic I’ll just add there really wasn’t any parts of the cave that were tight. I could put my hands out all the way by my sides and not touch the walls throughout most of the tour. They also have lights on in the cave that make it safe to get around. We had a few people in our tour that were older with knee/back issues and they were able to get up/down without it being too much - but I don’t think it would be good for walkers/wheelchairs.Now for the mining review - the gold mining was fun, we got 1-3 flakes per person. The activity took about 15 mins but was included in our tour. We added on the $30 gem stone package - worth it!!! The bucket was about 5 gallons of sand/gems. We had a blast scooping the mix into our pan, shifting and then identifying. We got a huge back of gems including some precious stones. I got a huge chuck of blue sapphire. Luckily they have a lapidary onsite to cut your gems, Miner Mike.Miner Mike was so knowledgeable! We was able to help us breakdown the possible sizes I would be able to get some my stone, what the color would be and proved me tons of options. And the prices to cut the stones weren’t bad at all! I’ll be getting 2 6mm stones, one set in a ring. It will take about 3 weeks to ship to me - not bad.Overall, if you’re thinking about stopping here- do it!!! You won’t regret it.

Had a great time. Wonderful experience and the kids had a great time. Included in our ticket was a gold panning experience and we paid $30 extra for a bucket for gemstones sifting. The kids wanted to stay and keep sifting in the sand. Will definitely return again.

Fun for the whole family. The mine tour was entertaining for all ages and rich in the mine’s history. When we finished the tour, the family panned for gold (bringing home our very own gold flakes), the mined for gems before visiting the gift shop.

Rusty was our tour guide and absolutely entertaining and informative. The mine and its history was fascinating. We were on a road trip back from TN heading back to Florida and went out of our way to stop by and glad we did. We also added the gem mining. Kids 12 and 15 enjoyed the whole experience. We’d definitely revisit if in the area again.

We went with our kids and some other family and had a blast. The tour guide was funny and a wealth of knowledge with the questions our group asked. It was very cool learning about the miners lives.It was wet down in the mine, so wear good shoes! We also panned for gold and got a little container with our flakes in it to take home, which was cool.After we did the gem stone sifting. We paid $50 for a 5 gal bucket and that was plenty for our 5 kids. They all got a good handful of gemstones. The souvenir shop was well priced, way more affordable than the aquarium.Overall, we'd definitely go again!

This was a great place to visit for a family activity! Very friendly and professional staff. Our tour guide Miner Gracie did an amazing job!! She was very professional and polite. She added a lot of humor during the tour which was nice. Highly recommend this place if you’re in town! Ask for Miner Gracie! She did an amazing job!! Thank you

An amazing hotel at a fabulous price. The hotel was super clean and comfortable. The service was stellar. We enjoyed meeting able to choose from different food at the food court. We also went bowling, did some machines in the casino and watched football while shooting drinks in the sports bar.We’d definitely go back.

Didn't do any pictures, but we really liked their food court options. More affordable & easily accessible than at Cherokee. We just did a day trip for a fall mountain ride. Smaller casino, so easier to navigate, but it appears they are expanding. An enjoyable & relaxing day trip from Cherokee

Look the casino is clean and smoke free, which is nice. I've been visiting this casino 3 to 4 times a year because of its proximity to Atlanta. On rare occasions, I've won some decent money there. But there's no competition and they've priced me out of playing blackjack at 25.00 a hand. I often play more than that per hand, but you better be hot from the word go or else it's expensive. And when the machines are cold the whole lot of them are cold. So gamble at your own risk, but the casino is nice.

Me and my best friend came for her birthday on 10/2. We had such an amazing time. The staff was AMAZING. Again, the staff was AMAZING. Literally from security, to dealer, to cashier, to customer service; everyone added something to our experience. Bill was everywhere. It was always so nice to see him pop up at either security stand or table. Special shout-out to the cashier who bought us both a dessert for her birthday. Your action meant more than you know.We had a great time. Won some money at the Roulette table. Met some fun people and can’t wait to come back.

My wife and I visited here over the weekend for the first time.This is the most peaceful location of any casino we have ever visited!The grounds are manicured with flowers in bloom everywhere.When you step outside, the quiet and beauty of the surroundings bring a feeling of calm.Every member of staff we encountered was welcoming and helpful.The room was very clean and well appointed.The casino floor is wide open with lots of room between the sections of slots.It's much easier to get casino floor beverage service here than it's sister location in Cherokee. However, they need to reinstall the beverage service buttons on the slots. I was told this feature was removed some time ago.We look forward to returning soon!

Decor is nice. Unfortunately I had several issues. I walked into my room and the first thing I saw was several oil looking hand prints all over the wall. I promptly call front desk and they sent house keeping to clean it. She had to use several different cleaners to get it off. She left 3 separate times to go get something different. Then I checked the rest of the room and saw that the shower was not cleaned and then went to sit down and found the chair seat to have brown soiled chair stains. She wiped both of the shower and chair. So I’m thinking that was the end of my complaints. Well after dinner I started to get in bed and pulled the sheets back and found a dead bug stuck to the sheets. I was over it!I called front desk to complain yet again and she basically said she was sending up house keeping to change the sheets as she said unapologetically. Then I asked to speak to a manager. She called me and said that the only thing they can do is change the sheets as they had a packed house and no other room to transfer me to. I asked for some type of compensation and the only thing she offered was a $25 credit. I know things happen but to have a guest in a dirty room and then make it worst to find a bug in the sheets is unacceptable! This is my experience my adult children traveled with us and I haven’t heard any concerns from them. Maybe this was just an isolated incident but anyone would be very unhappy to have so many issues on the first night of checking in to only be offered a $25 credit! Make sure y’all inspect your rooms.The parking is terrible. You may have to drive all around to the bottom of the entrance to the casino floor to park. But if you have luggage make sure you take it out first as you cannot bring luggage through casino. If you get in early enough you may be able to find a closer parking space. They are doing construction fyi. So parking should get better after construction is completed. I really don’t like to give a bad review to any organization but due to the way they handled the issue I wanted to share my experience.

Never booked a room. They seem to change the price once you arrive to end up paying double. This location doesn't give the casino vibe, more like for retired folks. Casino is tiny, literally takes seconds to walk across it. The food is the same as anywhere else, nothing special. I would definitely recommend the Cherokee location. That location definitely outshines this location.

We didn’t stay here so I cannot comment on the rooms. We gambled here. They don’t have many tables. And bar service was slow to come around. But we like to go here when we visit the mountains. The food is good at the food court but a little slow or understaffed. Everyone is very friendly though. They root for you to win.

Been going up there for over 8 years. Since they've built all the new stuff they've gotten rid of all the fun games we used to play. Only a select few. Hardly any older machines. Also, they have obviously changed it the spins because if you win anything on a bet it is nowhere near what you bet. Only a few cents is all you will win. It is an hour and a half drive from our house just to lose our money the last few times we've been there. Must be trying to pay for their fancy new addition to their building. Won't be going back. We can go another direction to other places! Don't waste your money!

DO NOT STAY HERE WHILE UNDER CONSTRUCTION!! Booked everything directly through Caesars and hotel directly yet Zero mention they'd be doing big time construction at 730am!! Absolutely INSANE to be woken up by extremely loud construction starting at 7am-730am literally right outside your window!Totally mind boggling they gave 0 warning of this! Who pays good money for a short get away just to be forcefully woken up at 730am!?????.THE CONSTRUCTION IS NON STOP! THEY CLEARLY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS WHATSOEVER!Update: notice how the "owner" only replies to the good reviews and completely ignores the low star reviews! Tells you all you need to know about this location! Lack of proper customer service is appalling and disrespectful. Only reply to good reviews and totally ignore those who had any issues.

Harrah’s Murphy is just a little over 2 hrs from Newnan, Ga. Much smaller than Harrah’s Cherokee. Hotel & Rooms are always clean, casino is spacious with a variety of slots & other machines, and the food court has variety of choices. Staff has always been helpful & friendly. We will cont. to visit.

Nice experience, had fun. Lots of games to choose from. I go expecting to lose, hoping to win and with a reasonable understanding of how much I am willing to lose before stopping. If you expect you are going to win, don't go. Some will, most won't. Nice little food court with reasonable prices considering where you are at. Has a bowling alley and arcade for families with children.

This is my second time visiting this casino. On my first visit had lots of fun and I won a little money. Second time was fun but I lost everything including, money, appetite, ability to stand up straight, thoughts of hope, good attitude, proper hygiene, half of my vocabulary, and a habit of pissing into the wind. Had absolutely nothing to do with the casino, happens every 24th day of October. Casino was fun.

Casino was fine. Enjoyed it being smoke free!! Was disgusted when we took a shower the next morning and the shower was filled with mold!! It takes a while for the black to accumulate on the grout in a shower!! Was upset when we checked out! Talked to a Supervisor and showed her pics, and was told ,"Sorry, will talk to housekeeping ". That was it!!! I said if I had noticed the shower when we checked in, we would have asked to change rooms. Makes you really wonder if the rooms are really Clean!! Will NEVER go back again!!

I go to lots of casinos including Harrahs. This location is just a money loss every time.I have been 3 times. All three I dropped $300 and played slots for maybe 30 minutes tops. Didn’t get any service or drinks. No staff around, lack of fun games , no free play in anything. Place is Just a joke 🤡

Great place for the adults to play. I love that you can get dinner and drinks and play all in one place without having to drive anywhere. You can take food and drinks to your room. Room was very clean. The whole place was very clean and well managed...It's open 24/7 we will absolutely be back!!

We did not stay on property as it is non-smoking. The casino was clean and had friendly and helpful staff. There were several good places for food and beverages on the casino floor 24/7.

Been there quite a few times. Hotel staff friendly, room was nice. Landing Cafe service great need more variety on menu. The food is great though. I like it because it's a short drive for a quick getaway. I have never walked away a winner but that's gambling right. Just wish money lasted a little bit longer . Looking forward to another getaway soon.

Short drive from Murphy! The casino is a non smoking facility and was very clean. They have a small food court which had some good food! The tables were packed (Roulette, Craps, Poker, Blackjack, etc). The slots were well laid out and had an assortment of games. Parking can be difficult but there is a shuttle with covered waiting areas!

Had a great time at this casino. Midafternoon, it wasn't too busy. Music was good. It's smoke-free, which made it really nice to visit. The entry was clean. Security was helpful and kept the place safe. I'll definitely visit again in the future.

We reserved the wrong location and Mariah Krause was more than helpful and taking care of her customers. She went beyond and above on helping us and always reaches out to help us. Thank you for helping us and u got our loyalty for life!

Cheapest rooms on the area. They are under construction so the hotel guest have to park in the casino guest parking in back. Friendly valets and front desk staff. Check in was quick and easy. Room was clean and the temperature was already set at 68 degrees (was nice to not walk into a hot room). Clean bathroom with a very big walk-in shower. The shower head could have been raised higher to accommodate tall people. But overall, a very nice atmosphere and nice view of the mountains.

The casino is newer, so not all the amenities are in place. There is no valet yet and only the one restaurant, there is four fast food options however. Customer service isn’t the greatest, the dealers seem angry, most of them anyway. I actually over heard them complaining about sharing tips with new dealers..I sat at a Tex hold em table game and the dealer didn’t welcome me, and then never said a word… he was an older gentleman with a mustache very scruffy and glasses…maybe Mike was his name not sure, he just seemed unhappy. Then a female dealer named Marisa was so completely rude, actually argued with another player at the craps table…was very short just nasty really. Don’t they realize they need us? The same player could have tipped her instead he walked away from the table and I think he left. Hopefully they will come around once they finish their growing stage. Murphy is a pretty area. The locals seem nice not sure why the dealers are so unhappy.

Great place to spend time with family with lots of activities to do. 4D movie experience was awesome. Tram to top of the Stone Mountain is worth doing. Dinotorium is fun filled place for kids of all ages. Just be aware they will close the park if it thunder bolts within 15 miles of park. Park is huge, it will several trips to visit all the places.

Fun, fun, fun. My family and I have visited this wonderful place twice this year. First time during Halloween. Second time after Thanksgiving. Pleasant atmosphere, a super nice time to spend with your loved ones. There are lots of things to enjoy. The parade, train ride, skyride, and drone show are a plus.

It was our first time and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The light and drone show, and the fireworks were awesome. Everything was maintained beautifully. Kids enjoyed every bit of it. We will be going back again.

This is a free activity and has a fantastic view from the top.Didn’t take that long to walk and there are hand rails for support on the steepest part and painted yellow markings for guidance on route.Suspect it could be slippery when wet.The cable cars were closed, maybe the wind, I am not sure.

The views in Stone Mountain Park were breathtaking. There are so many trails and areas to visit. I do recommend driving to the different trails because the park is huge and they are all very spaced out. The mountain is very impressive in person! Unfortunately, the majority of the attractions and restaurants were closed, including the train. Kayaks require reservation and we’re fully booked for the duration of our trip. Parking is $20 and $40 for the whole year which is a great deal.

Ascending on a cable car to the summit of the stone mountain, the journey unveils intricate stone carvings that tell stories of the past, adding a cultural touch to the adventure. Reaching the summit, a beautiful view awaits. Be vigilant while walking on the mountain, there’s few steep slopes. Whether engaging in recreational activities or enjoying a leisurely picnic, the majestic surroundings create a perfect backdrop for a fun-filled day. The harmonious blend of nature, art, and entertainment makes this park retreat an ideal destination for those seeking a memorable and diverse experience.

I visited at saturday night time for lunar new year event, and it was incredible. There are lots of well decorated lights to see and many games you can enjoy. Food trucks' foods are great, but all of them were very expensive for the small portion. The drone show blew my mind. It was awesome. Fireworks were okay, but it's short.

Me and My family had a wonderful time. The employees were so patient and helpful, very nice to us. I really can’t wait to go back soon. The food was great. We had a blastedI was super excited to see my younger kids have a good time as well. They really enjoyed themselves at the playground and playing in the water creek

How immense is this single stone, and in the soil that rests upon it, trees grow and birds frolic. We call this a mountain, and as we climb it, we humans realize just how small we truly are, and how vast nature is. It leads me to pause and reflect on the greatness of the Creator.

There is so much to do at this beautiful park, you can spend as little or as much as you want depending on your budget and aim of the day. Parking is $20 as a one off or $40 for 12 months. We really enjoyed the dino fest area. We would love to come back in the future

So much to do especially on the weekends with the special programs, would be nice if some were offered during the week as well. The ticket window and it's employees leaves a little to be desired as well as the food to purchase but just bring your own food. And thankfully only have to deal with the ticket window once!

Awesome place to visit! The Stone Mountain itself is unreal, surprised this isn’t on the National Parks and Monuments list honestly. Tons included. Give yourself a full day! Be ready to deal with inconsiderate people playing mini golf and be patient. The laser light shows are a blast as well. Dino Fest can’t be beat!

so much to do and the campground is beautiful! we had a blast at dinofest and will definitely come back for it next year! pro tip: sit on the left side of the train ride for all of the views

This place is amazing! We arrived at 2pm. Left at 10:30pm and STILL didn’t get to do all the things included in our day admission ticket! The day was not crowded just so much to do and it was beautiful!The kids we were with ranged in ages 3 - 17 years old and they all had a fabulous time!If I lived in GA, I would definitely purchase an annual pass!YOU MUST GO!!!

Absolutely breathtaking and stunningly beautiful. Every step of the 600-plus journey down and back up is worth it. The waterfall feels endless, with each cascading section offering its own unique beauty. An experience you won’t want to miss!

Was such a beautiful park!We were with our 4-H group and did axe throwing as well. WT was awesome with our group! He never rushed us, gave great directions, and made sure everyone got an axe on the board!Was a beautiful walk to the falls.Definitely recommend coming for the day with your family or group!

Such a beautiful falls. The weather was great. The main falls was closed because a tree fell, so only the lower falls was open. It was an easy hike, didn't have to climb the stairs. I love that it had the rubber path to the falls which made it easier on your feet

Great place for hikers and non-hikers alike. Plenty of variety of hiking as well as just site seeing and other activities. Axe throwing, zip lining are just two of the other activities that I have had a great time at this jewel of a state park. Hiking to the Len Foote Inn can be a one day challenge, or a great overnight stay. The staff at the brand new park HQ are helpful and knowledgeable if you have any questions about where to go and what is available to do. Starting your AT hike here is good way to get some last minute taste of civilization before starting north. Definitely a must see when visiting Georgia.

good place to enjoy nature. Don't forget to wear comfortable shoes and take water with you. very beautiful forest. The fall is small but beautiful. To take good photos, it’s better to go up to the observation deck from below. you can sit on the veranda of the cafe and enjoy the beautiful view. You can also come and stay overnight in a tent. For convenience, there are benches everywhere and tables where you can sit and have a snack.

Awesome hike and falls. There is a fairly steep hiking trail that I would suggest you take to the top...it beats the alternative of walking up 604 steps going the other way. Coming down the steps after hiking to the top makes much more sense. However, if you skipped leg day at the gym, you might want to go up and down on the steps! The falls are beautiful, but the amount of people around makes it a little hard to enjoy your surroundings.

Well appointed visitor's center at the base of the falls. No shuttle service from either the top or bottom of the falls, so plan accordingly. Spring through fall is awesome; wet your feet in the creek or sit in one of the refreshing pools. Spring time has a load of beautiful flora and mountain flowers to smell and photograph (touch with your eyes), along with a host of mountain forest critters, trout and wildlife. Fall has the changing leaves and the beauty of hiking. And tent a cabin in the winter. But please, please, please take your trash with you. Enjoy.

I had never really visited North Georgia and wanted to see this area. I picked this park because I had seen it in videos about the Appalachian Trail. It was way beyond my expectation. The waterfall is amazing, the highest waterfall in Georgia. The lodge is beautiful, sitting on top of the mountain with a panoramic view of the southern Appalachians. Miles of beautiful hiking trails and forest. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Beautiful day for a hike!! We went on a Friday around 1 pm. Very well maintained. The Visitor’s Center appears to be very new and staff is very knowledgeable about the trails, falls and other aspects about the park. Restrooms were clean and well-maintained. There are a number of conveniently located picnic areas.The hike along the falls is beautiful, with lookout points at good spots for those who need to take a breath or do a photo op. There are a combination of wooden and metal stairs.Parts of the trail are more level than others, and it gets steeper as you go up.There are parts of the trail that are paved.We love this state park!! Keep our parks beautiful! 😊🌲

Falls are amazing. Split your group and the athletic ones park the car at the reflection pond hike the concrete path and stairs up the falls and the rest start at the upper falls and walk down which is so much easier to do and finish the full falls. It's so amazing. Stay at the lodge which on the back deck you can perfectly watch the west sun set. We had dinner at the lodge, burgers and ribeye, which were delicious and had great service. Was not busy on a Tuesday. Nice fireplace to sit at in the evening to watch the final sunset go down. Certainly a hidden gem!

Beautiful state park and incredibly well thought out. It's very handicap accessible. I loved that they had trails made for wheelchairs and walkers so you could go see the falls as well. It was a very easy hike in to the falls from the handicap parking lot. Not even 10 minutes. The staff was delightful and so very helpful right from the time you come through the gate. Definitely recommend for family fun and for getting immersed in nature.

Really nice state park! We really enjoyed the park and the trails. The park is very nice and has a very nice visiting center when you first come in. There's a whole play area for kids as well. Then once you hit the trails there's tons of scenic views as you're walking up the side of the fall. When you get to the lookout of the falls it's gorgeous. You can continue up every higher but the first part you go up 175 stairs and the second part says it's over 400 stairs so we didn't continue but if you're a big hiker there's plenty more hiking to do it's only the start of the Appalachian trails.

BEAUTIFUL!!Fell in love with this place. The falls pictures do not do justice to the actual view. The walk is great, there are 400+ steps to go up which was difficult but I did with my toddlers.Kids friendly place, anybody can visit. Plenty of parking in different places, restrooms were clean and playground was clean too.Kids have a playground to play in, there are a lot of benches to sit and watch them. You can do barbecue as well. This place is great for one day trip and picnic.I would go here again, drive is g bad either. Nature always is the best and at it’s best!

Beautiful State Park with a gorgeous waterfall and a number of beautiful hiking trails. We took the stairs up and the East Ridge Trail down, stopping in between on the Lodge patio for a drink. We had planned to carry our pup up the stairs but it turned out that she managed them quite well, and she certainly loved the trail going back down. We came on a Friday morning in November, and it was not very busy.

A nice well maintained must visit state park in Georgia. Awesome view of the falls with the mountains and woods. The water is cold most of the time.The round up trail is bit difficult with the stairs but worth experiencing it.Got many picnic areas and tables. They are clean and well maintained too.

Spectacular views of the falls. Beautiful nature center. Access to Appalachian Trail Head. Parking is available at the top, bottom, and middle of falls. Be aware that parking at the middle of the falls is limited but also wheelchairchair accessible There are hundreds of steel steps up and down the side of the falls.

Very beautiful waterfall with many different level hikes to view it. If you don’t want to hike at all, they have an option to park at the bottom and the top. We took the longest hike we could find and it was 2.7 miles round trip going different ways. There is a paved path and many many steps if you’d like something a little more controlled. $5 to drive in

There is a visitors center/gift shop at the beginning where you purchase a parking pass. It also has information about the Appalachian Trail inside.Somehow, we parked in a smaller parking lot. That took us straight to the falls, but I guess there is another parking area where you hike and then walk up 125 stairs to the falls.To get to the top of the falls, you can drive and there is another parking lot, or you can walk up 425 very steep steps. The view is worth it.

Great little waterfall it's not that much water is going down, but it's high. We took a nice walk to see it and hiked back. We had a good time. Lots of walking

The falls are beautiful! They're easily accessible at the top at about the middle of the falls by very clean, well-kept paths. We rented 2 cabins near the top of the falls during our stay, and both cabins were extremely dirty and full of ants and spiders. Floors were absolutely filthy, but linens appeared clean and the beds were very comfortable. Breakfast at the lodge was pretty good, but dinner was terrible, and their adult beverages were just awful. The staff was amazing and friendly. We also rented a pavilion there for an event and it was completely filthy. The kitchen was disgusting, and there was a closet full of molded rags that reeked like dead animals. The air conditioning in the enclosed pavilion did not respond to the remotes provided, and there were no buttons to adjust on the units so we were burning up the whole time we were there. Despite all of that, we had a phenomenal time, and we would love to go back. We had a great time hiking the trails, playing in the water, looking at the reflecting pool and rock hunting. If you go, just take your own cleaning supplies, cook your own food in your cabins, and enjoy the nature around you.

The namesake Amicalola Falls is simply stunning. Cascading down a long distance, the power and beauty of the water are awe-inspiring. Whether you view it from the observation deck or take the challenging hike down (and back up!), the experience is unforgettable.Beyond the falls, the park itself boasts stunning mountain views and lush forests. It's a true escape into nature, perfect for a refreshing break or a weekend getaway.

Such a beautiful park!! Took a day trip here from Atlanta with family. The trails are well kept. The waterfall is breath taking. There are different areas via driving/parking to access the waterfall as it can be tiring with all of the steps if starting from the base. They have lodging and camp sites. We went zip-lining and had a blast!! The tour guides were fun.

We really enjoyed our time here! It was fairly crowded and parking was difficult! Having some health stuff it would have been helpful to know parking close to the reflection pool is the least amount of walking/stairs to be able to still see all the falls. There is handicap access in the middle of the falls…it’s a bit of a jaunt but not bad! This was well worth the stop!

The experience at the Atlanta Botanical Garden was phenomenal! My favorite sections were the orchid house and the edible garden. The high elevator orchid exhibit has many very rare and special orchids that are tiny - including some pitcher plants as well. The layout of the entire garden is wonderful for meandering around on a nice day and I was surprised at how uncrowded each exhibit was despite coming at a peak weekend time.We came during the day so we missed the Christmas lights, but I hear they are gorgeous and seem to be sprinkled throughout garden in unexpected and delightful ways.As a native Californian was wasn’t too surprised by the cactus garden. The dry heat of the exhibit was a nice way to start our day because it was a bit chilly when we first arrived.The larger suspension bridge section was beautiful and has seats so you can sit and enjoy the views.I was happy that the rose garden was still blooming but I definitely think that this falls off the closer to winter that we get.This would be perfect for families to bring their kids - in fact there is a train that goes round the plaza near the orchid promenade.Parking was inexpensive (~5$) and admission was less than 60$ for two people. If I lived in town I would certainly get a membership and pay for the parking pass to reduce the cost of coming regularly.10/10 would come again!

The staff are all friendly and helpful. There are so much to see, especially now when the Alice exhibit has returned. It is most excellent! Most paths correspond with the labelled map provided at the main entrance. However, in some areas there needs to be more signage, like how to get to the Earth Goddess (not a lot of people know it as the Cascade Garden). The fork before didn’t have enough clear indication. I would love to take the guided tour, but I believed the website said there is only one daily at 10:30am. I would definitely come back again for another visit.

What a gem for the community!The gardens are very well maintained with paths that wander all over the place, delighting you with the view around every new corner.The staff at the restaurant are excellent and the food choices were unexpectedly high end. Although we just had a snack and a beer, service was attentive and the food was delicious. I would definitely try this as a dinner venue.

This place is absolutely beautiful!!! There is so much to see and do throughout the park. Moderately priced entrance fee. Plenty of parking. The scenery is just gorgeous. Please wear comfortable shoes, you will be doing a great deal of walking. Don't forget to get a map of the park when you enter. And no, there aren't any bugs to bother you.

Fantastic! Spent all day here, enjoying the flowers and displays. There was a scarecrow exhibition going on that was creative & fun. The grounds are well laid out and nicely tended. A couple of times garden staff heard us wondering about something and they answered our questions. You could tell they clearly have pride in their work. Beautiful.

A well maintained botanical garden inside the heart of Atlanta. It’s worth a visit for locals and visitors. Currently they are showcasing Alice in wonderland exhibit. I love their detail oriented to make sure that a person with wheelchair can see whole garden easily. Parking can be challenging on the weekends. They do have a few designated EV chargers available. We spent about 3 hours enjoying our time.

This is my happy place, if you have time to kill and don't want to be indoors, head here. Lots of walking, lots of benches for not walking, plenty space for little & big ones to runaround. Take a book, journal, get some food, enjoy life. They have rotating exhibits that add a new flare for each visit. Well worth the money, highly recommend.

This is probably the best botanical gardens I've been to in the southeast. It's so beautiful and a lot of variety of plants there. Plenty to do here from events to just seeing. We also ate and the restaurant and the food was delicious and pricing is fair. An awesome place everyone should check out at least once.

My mom and I went to the garden lights, and it was amazing. Definitely by tickets in advance as they are timed and they take the times very seriously. We were there for about 2 hours and enjoyed every second of it. We walked, but if you are driving, leave time to park.

Came here with my fiancé for something fun to do while visiting Atlanta. Admission was worth every penny.We came during an Alice-in-Wonderland theme at the park and we were amazed by the botanical sculptures. So much to see.Additionally, we explored the children's sections of the park, packed with sights and activities for the kiddos. Very fun, cute, and in some cases, educational!

My visit to the Atlanta Botanical Garden was absolutely amazing. This place is a true gem, offering an immersive experience for nature lovers. During the day, you get to enjoy the beauty of their extensive collection of plants, with some of the most breathtaking flowers and greenery I’ve ever seen.What makes it even more special is the potential it has at night. While I didn’t stay after dark, it’s clear that the way they light up the trees transforms the garden into something magical. I can imagine it being a whole different world at night with the lighting, making it worth experiencing both during the day and after sunset.If you’re ever in Atlanta, I highly recommend visiting this garden—it’s a peaceful escape that leaves a lasting impression.

I came here specifically to see the Earth Goddess in all of her glory. I was not disappointed. They had the Halloween decorations out and about and several of them represented different "celebrity" or movie characters. It was entertaining to see. We enjoyed it all so much. I swear there were about 30,000 pumpkins there. The Rain Forest exhibits were amazing. I was in awe at almost every turn. The edible garden was nice but a bit bland. I bet it's gorgeous out here at nightfall.

Really nice botanical gardens. The themed Alice in Wonderland was pretty cool. Like a scavenger hunt for the decorated statue things. Lots to see and walk around, especially if you like plants. The indoor tropical plant houses were really cool, got to see some frogs and turtles. But lots of really cool flowers and unique plants. Definitely makes me want to buy some fancy plants and grow them.The skybridge walk across the road was really cool and very unsuspecting. I had no idea that bridge was that cool driving underneath it. Lots of shade on that side of the park.

I visit Atlanta at least once a year and no trip is complete without a visit to the Atlanta Botanical Garden. Sure, there are many things to see and do in Atlanta, but for my money the beauty and serenity found here is matchless.Amongst the many regular things to see (like the Earth Goddess) there’s always something new happening. This last visit showcased a flock of scarecrows placed all over the grounds! Such fun!Next time you’re in Atlanta, stop by, relax and amble around this amazing space nestled in the city!

This is a beautiful garden with winding trails and plenty of places to stop and enjoy nature. I loved the special area for children that offered creative activities and a small park for the kids to play. The flowers were gorgeous and there are plenty of restrooms throughout the park. When you go, stop in to the edible garden where there is an onsite chef that prepares lovely sample recipes with the vegetables grown onsite. The adult admission is $29.95, which in my humble opinion is a bit pricey, but this is Atlanta. Overall enjoyed my time at the garden.

The Atlanta Botanical Garden is a beautiful and experience, offering a peaceful escape in the heart of the city. With a $30 entry fee, you stroll through lush landscapes, seasonal flower displays, and intricate plant collections. The garden's highlights include the stunning orchid center, Japanese garden, and the impressive canopy walk that gives you a unique view of the forest below. The layout is easy to navigate, and there are plenty of shaded spots to rest. Overall, it's a lovely outing for anyone who appreciates nature, photography, or just a quiet, scenic day out.

We really enjoyed our visit here to see the Alice in Wonderland exhibit. We spent a lot longer here than anticipated because there was so much to see and do! We went on a Thursday when they serve cocktails and I enjoyed a yummy beer as well. Overall I highly recommend it!

This is a phenomenal place to visit with just about anyone at any age! People of all ages really enjoy the sights to the garden!I was so excited to see Alice in Wonderland return.I will say with the heat we are experiencing, I highly advise bringing some water and a fan with you. There are maps available when you first start your adventure that can double as a fan 😉 You can easily be here for around 2 hours without noticing! It’s a wonderful place to take aesthetic pictures as well.

If you want to kill time and spend it sightseeing with family, I HIGHLY recommend this place! There is so much to see. They have beautifully organized rows of all kinds of plants and flowers. Truly such an impressive sight to see. The variety of plants is amazing! They have multiple different gardens, each are super unique. They also have different greenhouses as well, they had an orchid one, a desert one, and a tropical one. They are so immersive, it felt as though I had walked into Pandora from Avatar.

Parking: $9.00 for me. I was there for about 2 hours so I don't know if it's more.Atmosphere:Breathe taking. I enjoy being outdoors. The flowers and plants are lovely.The theme I want more of Alicia and the wonderland.I will be back

What an outstanding way to spend the day! We went for the first time today with all three kids and everyone had a blast. There are so many amazing things to see like the Earth Goddess, the suspension bridge (canopy walk), the singing flowers, and so much more. The greenhouses are jam packed with crazy plants, and everything in the entire park is just so well maintained. It truly is a plant lovers dream!Pro Tip: Definitely consider bringing a backpack with water. When it's sunny out, you're gonna feel it!

The gardens was clean and pretty. The trails were walkable and there was plenty of seating all throughout.The big exhibits (Alice in Wonderland) were the best part to me. Other than the exotic plants and the conservatory, I think I have a good bit of the same plants in my backyard. They were arranged nice though.I think Botanical Gardens in general just aren’t my cup of tea, but I was also really frustrated walking around. The exhibit names didn’t all match the map so it was hard to figure out where on the map I was and signage was lacking, to say the least. There were several other people I saw and talked to who had the same issue.

Stunning. The plant sculptures were gorgeous and so creative. The bridge walk through the woods was refreshing. Certainly, summer in Atlanta is hot; however, there were several buildings scattered throughout the grounds to go into and cool off. Wearing lightweight breathable clothing would be wise. I appreciated that there were plenty of restrooms and water fountains.

I have never been here for you before so I cannot say for sure but I think it is well worth it to go and they have a thing going on. Currently it is the Alice in Wonderland theme and it is out of this world. The garden was extremely expensive and if it was not so hot we probably could have stayed here longer but we did end up staying here for about 5 hours which was plenty of time. On the weekend they have a cooking demonstration which was a nice break from the heat. There's definitely something for everybody here and for anybody who's into herpetology they also have turtles. They offer military discount which was very nice. Parking was extremely long so we were happy we walked. The only downside is that you can only reenter if it is less than 15 minutes from when you leave. This was not idea. Overall though. I had a great time.

Incredible experience. So glad I got to see the Alice exhibit and the glass art exhibits! The orchid house is gorgeous, a must see. Great walk, probably two or so hours for the whole place at a mid moderate pase. Probably longer with children but they did have a big grass area with live kids music and activities. The Lillie's were a great sight too! So much beautiful art spread around, especially the glass chandelier.

Beautiful plant life, art and exhibits. You could easily spend 3 to 4 hours here. Fall was also the perfect time to come in my honest opinion. Only drawback here was the food. We wanted to eat at a restaurant but they were hosting a wedding. We were then shown to the snack cart and my sandwich was very soggy. Don’t go for the food obviously.

This place was stunning!! The Alice in Wonderland theme was amazing. All of the plants were lush and green. I was shocked by how amazing this place was. I 100% recommend coming here. All of the greenery was breathtaking, and I can tell that tons of love goes into maintaining it. The gardens are so intricate, and I wouldn't be lying if I said that I didn't see even one wilted leaf. It was my favorite stop in all of Atlanta, and you should definitely stop there.

Loved our experience! From the apple picking to shopping to the boiled peanuts it was absolutely phenomenal. This is officially a yearly thing for my wife and I until we have our child and it’ll be a family tradition. We are trying to get our family to go for a big family trip as well. It was such a captivating experience. My wife and I just sat on the big rock on the lake and talked and jokes for almost 2 hours enjoying each other because of how at peace we felt sitting out there. If you come here please get those BOILED PEANUTS !! Dill and Spicy are the best, as well as the lemonade. The petting zoo was great, wish it were a little bigger and more incorporated into the property because it was definitely a hit! We spent enough money as if we went to an expensive restaurant! There is so much to try and buy. It’s overall an experience to have and it can be as affordable or as expensive as you want due to there being so many options! My wife and I would love to promote this on social media more as a yearly thing so please reach out to us! We love what this place holds.

As a lover for Wine && Cider, this is a must to visit! They have Cider & Wine tasting! Make their own, as well as sell other wines. My favorite was their Blackberry Wine and I don't even like blackberries. The only negative I'd say, is how small their Wine bottles are for the price. They are half the size of a normal wine bottle, which are cute, but not for the price. Would love to visit again when it's Spring and see how the fields look!

What an amazing place ! This place has it all. They have an amazing bakery, candy bar, honey wall, cider samples, adult cider tasting room, wine, gifts toys ! Everyone we spoke to was so helpful and kind. My first visit but my family has been here about 10 times and has never been disappointed.Great job y’all.

We've been coming to Mercier orchards for a while, but we took the kids berry picking for the first time and they had a blast! So fun, and now we have a ton of yummy berries. Not to mention the store is always a good shopping experience. Will continue to come for a long while!

Excellent for families, especially the Upick Apples or peaches. The ride to the orchards was fun and the views were spectacular. The pies were delicious and the tasting of their local fruit and alcoholic beverages was fun and nice.

I went on a Saturday in September and again in October, and both trips were really nice. The location and property are gorgeous, the baked goods are delicious, and the apple picking is a nice activity. The apple cider donuts and fried apple pies are bomb. The weather in October was cooler and the crowd was significantly larger. The crowds also seemed to grow as the day got later, so I'd recommend getting there as early as possible.

They have it all! Everything is really good, and if you are concerned about eating too much sugar, be advised that they have a number of no-sugar-added products (apple hand pies, jams, syrups, etc.). I especially like the frozen apple cider as it travels well and is available when it's not apple season. Totally worth a stop.

This is the best farm market in Georgia! There is plenty of parking, and the mountains and fields next to the market are incredibly beautiful. The peaches they sell here are the best in Georgia. They have a variety of peaches, but you can try a few of them first, so you can decide which one you like best. The apples here are also delicious. They sell a variety of other items besides peaches, so be sure to visit! I highly recommend it!

This place is simply amazing! They have everything you need for fresh produce and daily made bakery goods. If you want a fritter, you best get there early as they sell out very fast. Their fruit pies are delicious!! You won't find a better apple in Georgia than you will here.10/10 recommend.

If you visit Blue Ridge, GA, then Mercier Orchards is a must go to!!! It's an apple orchard that hosts a variety of apples, vegetables and also sunflowers. The shop on site is great with a huge variety of goods! There is also a winery on site to taste the wines and hard ciders offered. The tractor tour is well worth it, especially during U-pick!! We visited on August 2, 2024, decided on the tractor tour with U-pick. The apples available that day for picking were Blondies, Golden Supreme, and Mackintosh. All ages in our group (2yrs to 65yrs) enjoyed this part. The 2 yr old ate while he picked which is a great way to see if you enjoy the apples available. Definitely worth the trip, time and money!!!

Loved it. The weather was great. The orchard and the shop was great. Loved taking the grands to pick apples. Only drawback was the bag they gave you to hold the apples. They could be a little sturdier. GREAT EXPERIENCE

Huge orchard that offers U Pick fruit!! Beautiful landscape, fun outing, and get some fresh fruit while here.I went in September so it was apple season,$10 1/4 peck bag. A tractor takes you out to where the picking is, you can pick as much as you can fit in your bag, you can also eat the apples right off the tree! Fantastic experience!!! The apples were crisp, juicy, and amazing!!There’s also a very large general mercantile store with a free samples, bakery, produce, lots of knick knacks etc. they serve a breakfast menu until 11:30 and the bakery items are available all day. Prices are reasonable. The cookies and donut were delicious!!

It's beautiful! We just missed the U-pick, but we took our time inside, looking around. I didn't realize they have so much of EVERYTHING inside. Clothes, food, snacks, bakery, a sit-down area to eat, etc. We will definitely be back. Try these drinks! So good! We bought every flavor.

Currently enjoying a Carmel apple ! Amazing ! Carmel isn’t too sticky to the teeth!From Texas traveling around for work so happy to have found Mercier…We had a blast picking apples, Mercier was set up for fall ! Nice photo ops and now pumpkins of all kinds ! We brought home a few other things like apple pies and fritter and obviously apples we hand picked !!! As well as non alc cider (peach and regular) shout out to Phil for the tasting and information of the farm!blown away at all the goodies to chose from.Would make a great spot for any kind of pictures family/ couple 😍If you’re visiting and want breakfast the bakery has got you covered - we had mountain breakfast and it came with apple jelly as well, delicious.Chicken biscuit on the menu and a few other things !Really enjoyed observing everyone at work here such a wonderful operation and thanks for all you guys do to keep this place up and running ! A beautiful spot to stop and load up on everything apple goodies(honeys, jams, syrups and so much more).. did I mention wines and ciders !? enjoy the blue ridge mountain air, and meet some really wonderful people !Can’t wait to return when our path comes this way again.

Had the wonderful fall experience of apple picking at Mercier Orchards in Blue Ridge, GA. We picked Fuji and Rome apples. Also had a great time shopping at their store and purchased more apples of many varieties as well as ciders both sparkling (hard and soft), peach butter, peanut brittle and the most delicious 9 inch strawberry rhubarb pie ever. So glad we visited. Mercier Orchards is a treasure and to be there in October was truly a joyful part of the season.

A huge store displaying their own products. I love the blue apple sparkling water, non-alcohol and alcoholic. There were free tasting inside. They also have bakery, and the apple cinnamon loaf was my fave

First time in Blue Ridge and this was on the itinerary. An amazing place! First stop was the tasting room to get a flight of the covers, ended up buying two six packs and a couple bottles of Apple and Strawberry wine. Later on, came back for the tractor tour where we got to pick sunflowers. Sometimes places like this have limited stuff to do and a very small store, but this place has everything. Didn't get a chance to eat a pie or cake, but if you really wanted to indulge here, you could easily leave the place in a wheelbarrow. Will be back!

I enjoy visiting this place every year. I like their fresh apples. I try to get every variety of their apples. Every year they put something new in their store. You can pick apples or buy from store. You can have picnic around their little lake.

If you travel into north Georgia to go apple picking this place is a MUST stop orchard! My family goes up north each year but this year was a first at Mercier Orchards and now we will ONLY be coming here! The U-pick apples are amazing and delicious. The brewery and vineyard have so much to choose from. And lastly the store has everything you could think to bring home from apple cider donuts to the best jams and jelly.

My wife and I loved the blue/black berry picking. The whole experience was great. The tractor ride up to the berries was fun. It’s very affordable as well. The main shopping center is very interesting. I would recommend for a cute date

First time ever going apple picking, and I was happy to have had that experience at Mercier Orchards! I had a blast and felt like a kid going through the Orchards and picking some delicious Fuji Apples to bring back home! I finished off the experience by going to their store to purchase some of their famous cider, which, by the way, is AMZAING!! Please don't ask, which was my favorite because I can't just pick one LOL

Me and the kids had a great time picking apples. I would have given it 5 stars but it seems a bit disorganized. There is so many little trails inside it gets so congested. We couldn't even make it back to the pies because of the congestion from the registers.

As a local, I decided to visit the World of Coca-Cola, but unfortunately, it was very disappointing.I visited on a Friday, and there was no line, which seemed promising at first. However, the experience quickly went downhill. We waited in the lobby for a few minutes for the next "show," which I assumed would be a movie. Instead, we were led to another large lobby where a staff member spent about 10 minutes telling uninteresting stories—all while we stood without any chairs.When we finally entered the theater, I was expecting a film about Coca-Cola's history. Instead, it turned out to be a 6-minute commercial. From there, we explored the four exhibits, but I found them all dull and unengaging.The polar bear photo op was another disappointment—it only appears about four times a day, so if you miss one, you'll be waiting for hours. The tasting room was the highlight of the visit, but even that had its flaws. While it was fun to sample different drinks, they were all extremely sugary, with barely any low-calorie or zero-sugar options apart from the standard drink machine you'd find at Five Guys.The environment didn’t help, either. The floors were super sticky, which made the place feel unkempt. I initially planned to spend the whole day there but ended up leaving after just an hour.The gift shop was surprisingly large, almost bigger than the museum itself, but the items were overpriced and lacked variety.Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this attraction—it didn’t live up to the hype and left me feeling let down.

Really cool place for people who love Coke! They have some very interesting historical pieces highlighting Coke's integral part in American History, cool exhibits, and a room where you can taste over 140 Coke brands on tap from all over the world! Really fun for people of all ages. ALSO FREE FOR MILITARY AND VETERANS! Thanks for supporting our troops Coke!

Read a bunch of comments on reddit about how World of Coca-Cola was a tourist trap but my daughter wanted to go so I kept my opinions to myself. I'm glad I did because it was a good time. I didn't think that initially when we were forced to watch what was essentially a six minute commercial for Coca-Cola at the start but it got better. The tasting room was indeed great but whether it was $21 great ($63 total) will be up to each individual to decide. For me, it was a decent way to spend 90 minutes with my family. I would not recommend visiting on a weekend, I was there on a Monday and the screening room was full.

Great museum! The vault experience was totally fun. My favorite part was tasting all of the different Coke products from around the world. Another favorite part was seeing the vault in person and learning the history of everything. The Oreo flavored Coke was delicious and I also purchased all 3 mystery bags and a crazy cute purse!

We absolutely had a blast! The drink tasting from all over the world was the best part! This is a great place to visit. It’s reasonably priced. They give you a souvenir and the gift shop had a vast amount of stuff to purchase and that was reasonably priced as well. I highly recommend you visit. We came during Veterans Day weekend and military was free.

I recently visited the Coca-Cola Museum with my goddaughters, and we had a fantastic time! The exhibits were engaging and interactive, providing a fun learning experience for all of us. We especially enjoyed the tasting room, where we could try different Coca-Cola products from around the world. The staff was friendly and attentive, making our visit even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a wonderful outing, and I highly recommend it for a fun and educational day with the family.

Pretty good experience, haven't been in a while. Only thing I didn't like was the guided tour that was in front of us. Staff would shut each exhibit down so the 5-6 person tour. The exhibits can handle much more than 5 people. I understand they paid more but integrate it in with the self guided tours. That's ridiculous making everyone wait. Everything else was fun and enjoyable.

Went to the “ world of Coca-Cola “ museum with my adult daughter for another bonding experience. She really enjoyed it. I did too considering that veterans get in free. We did the recommended self guided tour, starting with the lab, the vault, milestones, icons, discovery sent, and finishing with the taste room. The museum was very insightful and the employees were very knowledgeable about the history of the coke company. Receiving a souvenir cup with admission provided an opportunity for everyone to go home with memory of the museum. The gift shop was big and has a lot. The gift shop provides military/ veteran discounts too. This museum is worth visiting. Thanks for reading my daughter’s and my review. A heartfelt thumbs up would let me know others read these comments. have great day. give thanks to United States veterans.

Very thorough and intentional experience of the Coca-Cola brand! The guy who kicked everything off was superb and really set the tone. I had a great time visiting with wife and friends. You can taste sodas from all over the world at the end. Everyone should do it once.

I am not quite sure if it is worth visiting. Spending couple of bucks more for visiting Aquarium is much better option. It seams little bit outdated, the staff was not rude but also not kind. At the beginning they force you to watch some 10yrs old video which last 6 minutes. The only interesting things is maybe the tasting at the end, but from 20+ different flavours I liked 3, but some are really interesting.

What a fun museum!! A great place to spend an hour or two in Atlanta. Loved how interactive it was.The tasting room was very cool... It was fun to taste beverages from all around the world. (Despite the sugar high!)It was SUPER crowded on a weekend afternoon. By the time we got out (around 1pm), the line was across the park to get in.Overall, it was essentially a commercial for Coca Cola... But a really fun one.

Atlanta, the birthplace of Coca-Cola, offers a must-visit spot for fans of the brand. I went on a weekday, and the experience focused heavily on Coke’s history, featuring old ads and branding strategies. The highlight was sampling over 100 Coke beverages from around the world for free, which was a unique and fun experience. However, if you’re not a Coke enthusiast, the $27 entry fee may feel steep, as there isn’t a great deal to see. Plan for about an hour to explore.

It was a lifetime experience. Will highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Atlanta Georgia. The best part was when I had to perceive / guess what the scent was and the greatest experience was when I had to taste all the different coke cola products from around the world. As a fizzy lover, I saw what was bigger than my imagination that I couldn't even taste up to 7😜. I will be back soon as I was given a cityPASS for my birthday by my cousin. It was an awesome experience. See you soon when I visit Atlanta again.

July 2024I never knew so many people were interested in Coca-Cola where there was a huge line outside waiting to get inside. Luckily and recommend purchasing tickets online. They were just letting groups of people inside so can enjoy the place without overcrowding. As you wait they take your photo where at the end can purchase photos (print and digital) with different backgrounds.The place was full of Coca-Cola advertising memorabilia and the whole time spend 2 1/2 hours there. It's two stories and each section sometimes had a line to enter. The longest wait was to enter the vault but dd not see the secret formula where in another safe inside. It's seems this was all for show. The rest had fun activities like smelling weird things and tasting different worldly flavors of Coca-Cola products. The have a small cafe but only sell packaged sandwiches and drinks. There was a larger cafe outside next to the Georgia Aquarium. It was really fun to explore.You exit through the taste it! room into a huge store. You can enter the store without entering the World of Coca-Cola. They had all the merchandise with Coca-Cola on it. I took home a bag full of it.Overall a great place to visit but was hoping had some flavors from the Disney's Epcot location and sold bottled drinks from around the world.

Having been to the old Coke plant before I wasn’t sure what to expect coming here but it was better than I could have imagined. Very neat place to visit and enjoy one of our country’s great products and ever better stories of success in business. Hard work and dedication pay off big time for the company and its people for sure. The history is amazing and the memorabilia is priceless. Enjoy your time and don’t be in a rush. Take your time. Be sure and enjoy the faces of the people sampling soda around the world in the tasting room. You will get a kick out of the expression on people’s faces. Lol. Just a hint, we do it better than any other country on the planet! The staff are very kind and friendly. Seem to enjoy their job. Enjoy your visit.

When I was young, I was a Pepsi kid. Older and wiser, now i think Coke is definitely the soft drink I prefer whenever I have a soda. In saying that, this place was cool to check out for a couple of hours. A lot of interactive exhibits and just the history behind Coca-Cola were very interesting. At the end, they have a large area to grab a small cup and sample A LOT of different products from around the world. Just a people watching suggestion, hang out around the dispenser that has "Beverly" from Italy. Look at people's reaction to tasting this one...I promise you, it will be time well spent.

Had an awesome experience at the Civil Rights Museum. They is so much to learn there about the civil rights movements and the many different players. I went through a plethora of emotions. We've come a long way, yet it seems we've still got a long way to go. You will not regret going to this museum. You will walk out with a new perspective, and appreciation, for all lives.

So fun!! Absolutely loved my visit here.Wasn't really a wait outside. Got out tickets and went right in. At the start there is a small educational introduction to the museum and the 3 areas you will be able to explore on your own, we went right to the vault and got to try a new coke flavor, it was pink and kind of tasted like strawberry cream bubblegum to me. Then we made our way to a memorabilia hall and did some smelling guesses for some things. (The thought of putting my face to where hundreds of other people put their face to smell bothered me) But it was still fun! Obviously, the funnest room is the tasting room where there are soda fountain stations from all over the world, some were delicious, others were some of the foulest things I've put in my mouth. I think some of the worst that stood out to me was a Sour Plum fanta from China, or this Honey flavored soda. The worst of all lived up to its reputation, The Beverly is easily one of the nastiest chemical foul sodas I've ever put in my mouth. Me and all of my friends recoiled in disgust. It was a really fun time. Very sticky floors in that room.The gift shop has really nice quality clothes and merchandise as well.

The World of Coca-Cola was such a fun and interactive experience! The tickets were affordable, and we had a great time exploring everything. There’s so much to see and do, and the interactive exhibits really make you enjoy the entire experience. Highly recommend!

I came from out of town as a tourist just wanting to get out in the city and explore Atlanta. This museum was an amazing experience and treat. When you arrive you’ll be taking a picture from the staff I wasn’t sure what it was for at first but it’s just for memories. After that you get to explore the history, the many brands that Coca Cola owns outside of the soda , you get to do a smell test of different scents, a taste test of different Coca Cola flavors/ products from around the world , & you finish off with the merchandise shop which didn’t disappoint I just wish I had more money. Overall great experience, great location, great atmosphere. 10/10 highly recommended and I am definitely coming again !! I also recommend getting the city pass where you have the option to go to the other festivities as well like the aquarium, and history museum that’s in the same location as well so save money on buying tickets individually.

The best museum I've ever visited. I went here back in 2021 and it was great. You were able to try flavours from all around the world! With great models of things,like a car that looks like it's from the 1970s with coca cola all around it. It was a very big museum and a must see place in Atlanta. Would go again!

Oh boy... my wife and I were super excited to visit the World of Coca-Cola museum, but it left a lot to be desired. Firstly, you can buy your tickets in advance, but then when you get to the museum, there's a MASSIVE line to get in. I'm not sure what needs to be done, but when you choose a time slot for your ticket in advance, you would think that the museum would adjust and properly sort it all out so you can enter when it's time but it just felt extremely chaotic. Right before you get into the actual musuem, you're ushered into a room to look at historical artifacts and then ushered into a theatre room which probably adds to the bottleneck issue (our qualm with this is that the initial artifact room had some really interesting stuff in there that was essentially rushed through since you need to get into the theatre room immediately after their initial introductions). After finally getting into the museum, the chaos continued because as you walk through exhibits, you're not sure if there are showings, videos, etc. and none of the staff is really trying to help or guide people. So you're REALLY on your own. Overall, it felt like a money grab museum... the only thing that we really liked was the Taste It! Exhibit where you get to taste Coca-Cola beverages from around the world that you may not be able to get in your local country. The gift shop had a lot of good variety of stuff to buy and some things that maybe you can only get in other countries but because this is their museum they have those options here. At the end of the day, it was an experience nonetheless, whether it was good or bad, it was good to experience it at least once. Maybe I'll come with my children down the line, but I would never come again just because I was around or feeling it. Definitely not one of those museums you want to keep coming back to, nor does it give you any incentive to.

I am giving one star not because that’s didn’t have a nice building, or interesting exhibits but because it it not worth $22. We had five in our group and every one of us were wondering what we paid $22.00 for. It is max a $9 value. Lower your prices a bit and I will put four stars here. After paying $20 to park, we paid $130 for about 30 minutes of entertainment.

I had just one day to explore Atlanta and decided to check out the World of Coca-Cola. While it was a fun experience overall, I found it a bit pricey for what it offers. The museum itself felt slightly dusty and could use some updates, especially considering the ticket cost and that it’s Coca-Cola. That said, it was still enjoyable to see the secret recipe vault and take part in several fun photo ops along the way. The highlight was definitely the tasting room at the end, where you get to try Coca-Cola beverages from around the world. A good time, but could be better for the price!

We had a great time. I really enjoyed all the old advertising memorabilia and the history of Coca-Cola from the beginning. This is definitely a place to bring the entire family you could see how much everyone loved trying all the different Coke products from around the world. If you're in the Atlanta area this is a must stop

First time visiting the World of Coca-Cola since they moved from the Underground Area. Loved the exhibits, the stories, and the taste room. The taste room had some good flavors from around the world, but also some that were disgusting. It was a very enjoyable experience. You have to be patient since there is a lot of kids, different nationalities, and just people trying to take in the experience. A must if in Atlanta.

I love history. It has been a long time since the Coca-Cola Museum was relocated, and I love how they explain the history of the beginning of this corporation.The kids and young people have a lot of fun and entertainment. We had a great time. If you have never been to Atlanta, Georgia, I recommend to add to the list on your next vacations

Hones share: We didn't want to pay for the museum since we only had 1 hour before they closed. However the Gift Shop is next to it and it's free. You can see inside the tasting center from one of the sides of the gift shop and honestly it was cool but not worth paying for, for us. We bought a lot of gifts for our Coca-Cola loving family and all the employees were friendly and helpful. We loved the gift shop and did spend a pretty penny so be prepared for the prices. I would go back again and shop there. The park outside was also very pretty. We went on a Monday afternoon and were so happy with the amount of people there, it was not jammed full and it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves.

A must visit to know about the history. Decent exhibits. Loved the tasting area. The 5 minute video was also good, emotional. Good shopping place to buy customized coke cans and other souvenirs.

Definitely a once in a lifetime experience, you get to learn the culture of coca cola and relive that history. Many ancient artifacts related to the company and the best of it all, the tasting of 100+ beverages from all over the world. Definitely an experience worth visiting

First time ever to this aquarium and it was amazing! The exhibits are the most beautiful and well designed that I have ever seen. The aquarium facility is spacious and clean. I was lucky enough to have time to talk with a couple of volunteers at different exhibits they were really helpful and knowledgeable. Walter was volunteering near the whale shark when I met him. I had asked him to take a picture of me since I was by myself and I had so many questions about the animals in the tank. He has been volunteering with the museum over 11 years and has such a depth of knowledge of the animals and the facility I felt like I had a personal tour guide!!!. He showed me different exhibits that I was asking questions about. My experience at the Georgia aquarium is unforgettable and I hope everyone leaves there feeling a sense of importance on their part to help with conservation of these amazing species.

The Georgia Aquarium is iconic for many reasons. We came here using the Atlanta City Pass and were able to go to five different attractions for a very reasonable price. When we arrived, they said that only tickets for a specific time would be allowed inside. City Pass does not have that constraint, so we were able to walk right in. This is a great place, but it was super busy. Every exhibit was crowded to the point where I felt rushed and not enjoying the experience, but there were some moments where I did. They also had the collaboration with Animal Crossing and we got to meet the Tom Nook and Isabelle mascots, which was super cool! They also had little signs with information from the game with educational components which was also very neat to see! The exhibits here are awesome. The animals have plenty of space and plenty of care which I love about this aquarium and other AZA-accredited aquariums. We probably spent about 2.5 hours here. There's a lot to look at, and I could probably spend hours watching some of the animals swim around. The whale sharks are one of the most unique things about this aquarium, and seeing them in person is so cool. They are magnificent creatures and I am glad that there is a facility here that can foster their success. They have done a lot of great conservation work and education. Their gift shop is huge and has a lot of pricey items, but I like to think that the money goes to a good place.

We had a great time! Definitely played out very well. You can walk through and exhibit, use the facilities and then shop if you want. Head to the next exhibit, wash rinse repeat! With kids that’s so important. Some adults too to be honest.

This was such a great time for my 1 ½ year old! The staff were super sweet and helped make it a memorable time. There was plenty of space to view the marine life and be able to interact with it. We had to leave a few times and find less cramped areas and do what everyone else wasn't, but really not a problem as Mr. Short attention span wanted to walk around anyway. It was a great time!

YOU GOT TO SEE THIS PLACE!!! READ!!!!!!!!!!!IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN PLEASE READ THIS!!!!!We spent about 6hours of walking and sight seeing with here and there of sitting down.Definitely wear comfortable shoes have a carrier or stroller.The area was definitely clean. Never saw overflown trash.The dolphin shown was a definitely worth the watch. We paid the extra for the best seats in the house which I recommend getting to be able to see at the right spot. Sea lion show was adorable aswell but the dolphin show was the best as my girls state.Buying tickets online was a breeze. Would come back for the aquarium but the outside was the scare read below….!!!!!!!!!READ!!!!!!! This will not affect the score of review please read!!!After leaving the aquarium I recommend keeping an eye on the children of yours and stay away from the playground across the street. I went to go get the car and left my mom and the 2girls for them to play. Well my mom had daughter someone recording my daughter with a recording device. My mom quick thinking got the girls and walked off but he walked up to her asking for money. She was on the phone with me at the time asking for me hurry back to where she was. I told her to walk over to the valet across the street to get around other people in the opening.WATCH YOUR SURROUNDINGS!!! Trafficking is real and happening!!

The Georgia Aquarium is an incredible place that offers an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with stunning displays and an impressive range of marine life, from playful dolphins to awe-inspiring whale sharks. The Ocean Voyager exhibit, with its massive tank, is a true highlight—walking through the tunnel surrounded by such a variety of sea creatures is magical.The layout of the aquarium is well thought out, making it easy to explore each section, and there’s plenty of interactive exhibits for kids and adults alike. The dolphin and sea lion shows are also a must-see, showcasing both the intelligence of the animals and the dedication of their trainers.The only minor downside is that it can get quite crowded, especially on weekends or holidays, which can make it hard to fully enjoy some of the exhibits. A bit more space in certain areas would make it perfect. That said, the aquarium is clean, well-maintained, and full of fascinating educational information.Overall, the Georgia Aquarium is one of the best I've visited—definitely worth the trip and almost perfect in every way!

I enjoyed the experience, although the layout is a lot like a shopping mall (which was overwhelming for me). I lost my phone at one point and a staff member was able to quickly help me retrieve it! Each exhibit was unique and had guides stationed well-throughout to tell you more about each species. If you prefer a quiet experience, I recommend earplugs or headphones bc there are a lot of families, which gets noisy. The Halloween decor was also a nice touch.

So this aquarium is the best one I've been to thus far. My favorite part of the whole experience was the dolphin show. Those dolphins are something else; very intelligent. The sharks were sharking and spooking people; even though they were behind the glass. I would definitely recommend visiting and spending at least half a day to fully enjoy the entire place because it it big

I have been to this aquarium a few times and every single time it’s AMAZING. I have to give a special shout out to our behind the scenes tour guide, Joseph. He was so kind, helpful, and genuinely enthusiastic and passionate about the aquarium and the animals. He made the tour really fun and engaging. It was pretty crowded while we were there but he said hi to me when he saw me later. It really made me feel seen and boosted my excitement. Every exhibit is so cool and I think I could spend forever at this aquarium.

Did the dive with the gentle giants and it was such an amazing experience! They were thorough with their pre dive plan and the dive itself was breathtaking!The rest of the aquarium was absolutely beautiful and the animals look well cared for and the exhibits are clean.We stayed almost the whole time they were open. Would definitely visit again and would definitely do the dive again!

It’s always fun to visit any aquarium so when in Atlanta this is a must do. It’s is large but can still be crowded on the weekends. I found the variety of fish and displays are vast. There is something for everyone. I do recommend buying tickets in advance. Doing this I was able to save about $15 per ticket. It also helps cut the wait time. I would highly recommend this for anyone.

BEAUTIFUL, I LOVE this place. The amount of things to see is great.The two amazing and giant Whale sharks are AMAZING, the whole place is amazing.The water/tank always looks super clean.Not to mention the HUGE Rays, they’re so cool and they give demonstrations on how they feed certain animals.The touch pools are also clean and they offer a hand washing station near by.The parking is a bit pricey and far but it is EXTREMELY worth it.100/10 please visit if you’re in the area.

Celebrated our granddaughter's birthday at the Aquarium. Cost a small fortune. The longer you wait to buy your tickets on a day trip, the more you pay. Food costs were more than Disney's prices which is saying a lot. However, the Aquarium is very clean, organized and we saw a lot of really cool things. I do wish there were more interactive things to do with children. All and all...we had a great time and spent 4hrs and we were able to see pretty much everything and have lunch.

It's amazing here. Definitely see the shows. The sea lion and dolphin shows were both amazing. I recommend going as early as possible to the dolphin show as it is a huge auditorium and it fills up fast. Also, the soak zone is no joke. It isn't light splashes, people were drenched and the water was cold. I sat in the 11th row (first row of blue seats) and still got splashed (a couple droplets). Center seats are better than side seats for viewing.

If your looking for a good way to spend some time this place is definitely it. Took roughly 2.5hrs to leisurely see everything and there's even special educational shows you can watch. This place was everything I had hoped an aquarium to be from a giant under water wall to hands on experiences and special tours. All of the exhibits have informational plaques on what is in each tank and some even have special viewing areas that put you up close. All of the exhibits were stunning and full of life.

What a fantastic aquarium! They had many different attractions to look at! Very educated staff who told us all about how old the animals are and how they were brought there!

🌊🐠 **A Wonderful Birthday Celebration at the Atlanta Aquarium!** 🎉🐬I recently had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday at the Atlanta Aquarium with my husband, and let me tell you, it was an experience that exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we stepped through the gates, we were transported into an enchanting underwater world filled with vibrant marine life and awe-inspiring exhibits.One of the highlights of our visit was undoubtedly the mesmerizing sharks. Watching these majestic creatures glide gracefully through the water was both exhilarating and humbling. It’s an incredible reminder of the beauty and mystery that our oceans hold. And if that wasn’t enough, the dolphin show was the cherry on top! The playful dolphins showcased their intelligence and grace, leaving us in awe of their incredible talents. It was a joy to see them interact with their trainers and perform breathtaking stunts.I wholeheartedly recommend setting aside at least 3-4 hours for your visit, especially if you want to take in the full experience and reserve time for the shows. Each exhibit offers something unique, and there’s so much to learn and discover. It’s a feast for the senses and a wonderful opportunity to connect with the wonders of the aquatic world.As we soaked in the sights and sounds, I couldn’t help but think how perfect this place would be for our kids. The Atlanta Aquarium is not just a destination; it’s an invitation to explore, to wonder, and to bond as a family. We’re already planning our next trip, and I can’t wait to share this wonderful experience with our children.If you’re looking for a place to spark joy and create lasting memories, I highly recommend visiting the Atlanta Aquarium. It’s a celebration of life, beauty, and the importance of preserving our oceans. Dive in, let your curiosity lead the way, and prepare for an unforgettable adventure! 🌟🦈💙

This place is absolutely amazing. There is a ton of stuff to do and a family could really make a full day of it. The animals and their environment were very well maintained. The gift shop is a bit on the pricey side but I expected this for an attraction like this. I highly recommend visiting the aquarium.

I absolutely love aquariums! This one would have to be one of my top favorites! There is so much to see. You can spend hours here. The price is all worth it. Highly recommend!I also want to add that I went on a Monday and felt like it was not crowded at all! Highly recommend going on a week day.

Easily the best aquarium in the world! This giant space is full of exhibits, interactive opportunities, and friendly staff! I did the Behind the Scenes Tour, which I highly recommend. It was only an additional $16 and wow was it eye opening! This 30+ minute tour takes you to three different staff only areas! Jude, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and just as fascinated to learn as we were! Thank you Jude for making my aquarium experience amazing!!

Our group of 10 recently visited the Georgia Aquarium, and it was an incredible experience for everyone. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the variety and scale of the exhibits. The aquarium is beautifully designed, and it’s clear that a lot of care has gone into creating a space where visitors can learn about marine life while having a lot of fun.One of the highlights for our group was the Ocean Voyager exhibit. Seeing the enormous whale sharks up close was awe-inspiring, and the underwater tunnel made us feel like we were truly submerged in their world. The Beluga whales were another favorite, gracefully gliding through the water and offering us a glimpse of their playful personalities.The wide viewing window and the dolphins show were my favorite. I sat for 15 min listening to music and watching the window. You can sit on the stairs facing the window and enjoy the view.The aquarium has a wide range of species on display, from tiny colorful fish to massive sea creatures. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re fascinated by sharks, dolphins, or even jellyfish. The interactive exhibits were a hit, especially for the kids in our group, who loved getting hands-on with the touch pools.What really stood out was how well-organized everything was, despite the large number of visitors. The staff were friendly and helpful, guiding us through the exhibits and ensuring we had a great experience.Overall, the Georgia Aquarium exceeded our expectations. It’s a must-visit for anyone in Atlanta, whether you’re with family, friends, or a large group like ours. We all left with lasting memories and a newfound appreciation for marine life.

In my decades of life, this will be one of my most unforgettable experiences and best memories, and it will also be my favorite aquarium to visit. Visiting the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, gave me a rich knowledge of the world of marine life.Georgia Aquarium is one the most top in the world. In the environment of this huge aquarium, from the entrance to the exit, I saw many creatures from the depths of the vast ocean, as well as other marine amphibians. From some small shallow sea creatures that appeared in front of me at the beginning to the huge fish swimming in the deep sea hall, they all attracted my attention strongly. This made me have a strong desire to learn about them.In this aquarium, we saw dolphins, manta rays (stingrays/devil fish), sharks, beluga whale, seahirses, sea turtles, penguins and many other large and small, strange and colorful marine life.When we walked into the deep water exhibition hall, what appeared in front of us seemed to be a huge TV screen, or a huge glass wall display window, showing a group of large and small marine life swimming inside.We also walked into a large underwater glass tunnel about 100 meters long. Here, we saw many kinds of deep-sea creatures swimming in the water above our heads. We were really excited, as if they were really within reach above our heads.We can also go to the viewing platform on the top of the aquarium to look down at the beluga whale and sharks floating on the water, and marvel at their huge bodies more than ten meters long in front of us.Visitors who like to watch marine life performances can also stay longer in the museum to watch the performances.In conclusion, this huge aquarium in Atlanta of Georgia USA is really a top aquarium we must visit in our life. No doubt how much cost and tired feel you will get, it absolutely is worth to visit.We can use Atlanta City Pass or purchase tickets online preparing a convenient visit of ours. Hope you will be satisfied for coming here.

Place is absolutely enormous and much bigger than you're anticipating. I love going to aquariums and have always wanted to visit. While evacuating from hurricane Milton, I had to go through Atlanta and decided to stop in. I loved every exhibit and the place was crowded even for a Thursday. I figured it wouldn't be.Went and saw the dolphin show while there and, while tacky, was still entertaining. You know people are having fun when the screams of being splashed drowns out the music.Absolutely recommend visiting at least once. Easily the best aquarium I've ever been to.

Wow! This aquarium is very well done! The animals look very happy and you can take your time exploring the displays. The shark tank was so cool with sharks that were just as interested in people as we were with them! The display with the whale shark was so memorable. We went in the evening because they had a $25pp promotion. The kids in there really loved it. The gift shops had some cool toys and trinkets.

Absolute GREAT experience!!!! Visited the Aquarium on Saturday around 10am, no line. Viewed all the attractions. Enjoyed live entertainment, pirates walking on stilts interacting with guests, dancers, and singers. Loved all the animals but the Shark Whales are now my favorite. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Definitely recommend stopping in.Can't wait to come back in the evening for trick r treat.

Had a blast!! Took the grandkiddo and he LOVED the different fish. Lots of people, but what do you expect, but everyone was moving along and letting the little ones get close to the tanks to see the fish closer. We had a great time and will go again!!

I’ve been here twice! The last time was just last week with my husband. We spent about $53 each and stayed for 3-4 hours. We didn’t reserve our tickets in advance, we just went there and bought tickets from their kiosk. We had a great time! Since we went on a weekday, the crowd was small, making the experience even more enjoyable. We reserved tickets to watch both the sea lion and dolphin shows! Food? A bit pricey. We didn’t eat there.

You should definitely buy tickets online. The price difference between online and at the door is significant. Also, be sure to make day-of reservations to see the sea lions and dolphins shows. We love coming to the aquarium, and we had a great time

Let me start by saying, this aquarium is by far the best my family and I have been too. The staff are all welcoming and the facilities are clean. They really cater to families and keep nursing mothers in mind.All four stars go to the entertainment and the amazing marine life Georgia Aquarium cares for. what an amazing learning experience and the fact you can literally spend the whole day here made it even more worth it. Also, loved that they decorated for Halloween, wish I can see how they setup for Christmas!The show dolphin and sea lion shows were absolutely amazing and really set the bar high. A must visit attraction when in Georgia.Took a star away due to the food offered. Wasn’t great at all, so I do recommend eating prior to entering the aquarium as the food/drinks are a bit overpriced for what you get in terms of quality and taste.Overall the best experience!

5 STARS for Flash! He was the perfect guide for our group of mixed ages. Careful to not bounce us from the raft but took on some great rapids for the younger ones.This is my 3rd outing with Raft1 and I will not book with any other outfitter on the Ocoee. Organized. Polite & Friendly. Customer first. Experienced. And all around great people to adventure with.

We had so much fun with Bucky and Gracie! They guided us on the zip line tour and we had a great time with them. Truly a wonderful experience 10/10 would recommend any tour done by them!We also went back and did white water rafting the following day with how great our first experience was and we got Jace and he was phenomenal! We told him we wanted to get a little roudy and he did not disappoint! He was sure to give us plenty of opportunities to do some cool tricks. It was my boyfriends first time and he did an awesome job at making him feel comfortable. From pros to first timers, Jace will be sure to give you a memorable experience!There’s plenty of places to adventure in this area, but the staff here is what makes this company stand out.

We had a wonderful time with Holden on the Upper Ocoee. The location is easy to fine, has ample parking, and friendly staff. Our guide, Holden, was professional, constantly aware of our safety, and appeared to really enjoy his time on the water with us. His local roots provided us with many interesting facts about the river and dam as well as offering information about the area. Transportation via the vans leads for a more personal experience (as oppose to the big buses other places use) and were more comfortable. We have used other places with nicer facilities but will come back her for the more personalized services. Thank you, Holden, for sharing your time with us!

Sierra was a great raft guide. she was so kind and very funny. enjoyed having her last week. and i enjoyed having jamie 7 weeks ago as well. austin and kyle were also pretty cool. i don’t know the other raft guides but they seemed kind on the bus ride there and back :) SO GIVE EVERYONE THAT FREE FOOD.

I just wanted to say how awesome Kitten was as our rafting guide! He made the whole trip super fun with his hilarious jokes and kept us laughing the entire time. He was really good at making sure we were safe too, which was great. Kitten’s energy and sense of humor made the day so much better. I can’t wait to come back and do it all over again. Thanks for an epic adventure, Kitten!

We had a great time on our rafting trip! John G was a great guide for us. It was our first rafting experience for some of us and we were a bit nervous but he didn't act crazy! Our kids were on another raft and they played and surfed waves and they had a great time with their guides too(Nic and Trashman) Five stars for them too!

Cal, Paige and Austin did a great job leading our zip line tour. We had a BLAST! It’s not every day you find tour guides with the energy to keep up with Boy Scouts. They were so entertaining and gave us all the tips to have the best zips. We will definitely be back and hope they can lead our next tour!!

I had Flash and Ben for the zip lining experience. It was amazing, it was worth all the money we spent! They were an amazing group, very entertaining and funny. I did fall on my face in one of the bridges, but it was worth it. I had so much fun. 100% would recommend!I also had Flash as my rafting guide, he was amazing at his job! I had so much funny. It was definitely an experience I will never forget.

On 8/24/24 I had my 1st white water river rafting experience, & it was SO FUN!!! The river was great, but I have to say with AUSTIN as our guide, I can't imagine having a better experience.He was such a great combination of fun, kindness & respectfulness, knowledgeable of the river - as he "toured" us in between commands what the rocks & different areas were named, and the fun/funny stories that gave them their names!AND, with all his knowledge and experience and skills, he was able to guide us to have so much fun all along the rapids. It was a literally a perfect first experience that I'm afraid will be difficult to match....oh, AND, the group making the effort to make a slide of the bottom of the raft was super fun! Enjoyed this group of guides so much, but especially ours!!! The leaders were so nice and fun getting us trained up and loaded on the bus, too. Just great people.

It was incredible!!! Loved having our tour guide Lizzie. She was very knowledgeable and made the experience so memorable for our senior class trip. The rapids were amazing, and I def will wanna come back.

We had the BEST TIME EVER on our rafting trip with Jace. He was the best guide, super fun, knowledgeable, and went out of his way to make sure we had an awesome experience on the river. We have tried other rafting tours but this one by far has been the best. We will back again and again!

One of the best experiences of my life. Thrilling, exciting, adventurous and our guide ensured we were all safe. Definitely would recommend Raft One to anyone wanting to go on their best rafting experience at Ocoee River.

This was so much fun! It was my family’s first time ever rafting and our guide Brooke was so patient with us. We had a blast. We will definitely be returning and making this a family tradition! Thanks Brooke and thanks Raft one! You all are the absolute best!

We took an amazing zip-line tour and it was our first time for that, both in our lives and together. Our guides Gracie and Weston were amazingly patient with us and really humorous the whole tour. Thank you both for a wonderful ride!

Our party of 10 had a great time with Raft One. We had to use 2 rafts, but the guides were fantastic and worked well in tandem. They knew exactly how to optimize our experience using their navigational skills, on the river. Jamie was the guide in my boat and as well as being a fantastic instructor, she was full of knowledge and had many jokes. “Tricks of the trade” were very apparent on this trip as she was able to direct us through all the rapids and gave us choices with alternative outcomes. Without giving away all the secrets, I would highly recommend Jamie, and this entire crew for their exceptional rafting and entertaining skills. After having visited several different companies that offer rafting trips, I think we’ve settled on the one we’ll be using moving forward!

We had an absolute blast rafting with Flash (Callahan). My wife was extremely nervous and he made sure to ease the nerves as we went down the river. He knew all the fun things to do and read the group great to make sure we had a fun (& safe) time. Would highly recommend rafting with Raft One, it was clear that they were experienced, organized, and knew how to ensure everybody had a blast. The ride was very short from their location to the entrance to the river as well. Highly recommend for anybody looking for a fun summer rafting experience.

We went down the river with RaftOne yesterday as a party of 20. It was fantastic! Organized, safe, and the guides were so much fun. Our guide was Jaime and she was amazing. We had 2 people on our raft with medical issues and we felt extremely safe and in good hands with her. We will be back!!

WOW! what's a fun time with my family and Raft One. Our guide Wiley was awesome. He knew everything about the Ocoee which had me at ease knowing we were in great hands. I love the fact that all of the guides at Raft One are a family and watch out for each other as well as the clients in the (sometime out of the) raft. It was my wife's 4th time down but the first time with Raft One and she said that that was the best trip down the Ocoee she has ever had. We will always recommend Raft One and our guide Wiley.

We had such an AMAZING time here, Parrot was such a fun guide! He was very knowledgeable and confident in what he was doing. And, I may or may not have had a panic attack before crossing the Olympic area. Parrot took the time to talk to me and made sure I was okay. He had words of encouragement that made me feel better and gave me an experience that I would never forget! I recommend being on Parrots team because he’s very experienced, loves what he does and is very funny. See you next year from the banks (:

This was such a wonderful experience. Probably one of the most fun things I’ve done in my life. Bucky was the best guide and made this trip very fun and memorable for our family!!! He deserves a 10!!

Marietta Square is such a charming place to spend an afternoon! There are so many unique shops to explore, from boutiques to antique stores, and a great variety of local restaurants and cafes. The square is beautifully maintained and perfect for a leisurely walk. Whether you're browsing, people-watching, or just enjoying the historic atmosphere, it’s a great spot to relax and unwind. The lively events and farmer’s markets they host also add to the appeal. Highly recommend for anyone looking to experience the heart of Marietta!

The square has so much so offer! There are so many great restaurants to explore. My kids love to make wishes in the fountain and play on the train in the park.

Absolutely an amazing experience! Very family oriented environment! As a new resident to Georgia, I would recommend Marietta Square/ the Chalktober Fest to everyone! Great atmosphere! Huge shout out to the Artists and their brilliant art work!

So many things to do at the city center of my hometown! The Strand Theater is still right there on the corner! There is a playground for the kids to enjoy, and there are public restrooms (real ones, not port-a-potty!) There are restaurants and bars all around the square. Social events are held frequently here. I was most recently here on behalf of Team Trivia filling in to run the weekly Trivia Game at Red Hare - The Still on the Square. Great bunch of folks there to enjoy a fun game of Trivia!

Only had a few minutes to stroll around the square in Marietta. It is a quaint town with a variety of shops and restaurants. The last time I was there (a few years ago), I felt there were more shops whereas now there seem to be more eating places. Also the concert in the middle of the square is a unique idea. Always enjoy visiting Marietta!

I was here for the 4th of July. I walked on the beautiful roads near the square, and the food courts were good.

Chalktoberfest at the Marietta Square is arguably my favorite event each year! Benefiting and sponsored by the Marietta Museum of Art, local businesses sponsor artists from around the world to showcase their creativity. Plenty of eats and drinks are available at the mainstay restaurants and pop-up tents. Additionally, local shops are open for business, along with artisans here for the festivities. A “must see” event!!

I always have such a great time when visiting Marietta square. So many restaurants and bars that are in walking distance of each other. The square itself is a great place to grab a bench and people watch or read. I visited for Chalktober fest, breakfast, and a book club meeting this week and every time was a different experience. There is a bookstore, magic shop, art studios, boutique shops and places to eat all around the square.

Marietta Square is a fantastic spot, especially when they host events – everything is always well-organized and clean. Beyond that, it’s a great place to bring your family, as it’s both pet and kid-friendly. There’s a wonderful variety of restaurants to choose from, along with charming local shops to explore. Whether you’re looking to grab a bite, do some shopping, or just relax outside, Marietta Square has something for everyone. Highly recommend!

Few things beat a nice walk around it. Beautiful tower square bustling with activity. Restaurants stores all matters of entertainment. Great place to see and be scene. Can't wait to come back.

Very nice area to relax in the sun, enjoy the goings on, sit and listen to the birds.Numerous interesting stores, restos and Mirco breweries in the area too.Well worth the visit.

Enjoyed another event at the square. Came here for the chalktober fest. The art,food, and music were a great way to explore the square and see such a range of people in attendance.

Tomorrow's morning will be the annual MS walk. They have a 1 mile trail and 3 mile trail. Dogs are welcomed, and the city police take care of blocking the path for everyone to enjoy the walk at your own pace. They have stands along the path with water also. It I great event for a great cause....

The best place in Cobb County to go for a date, meal, shopping, etc. a safe and exciting place to walk around and experience fun factor that gives without ceasing. Eclectic and interesting cultural experiences await you. Many weekends throughout the year they offer farmers market and craft guilds. Truly a place to be anytime of the year day or night. 🇺🇸⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏🏾🐺

Cool park, went there for Halloween decorations and enjoyed the road paintings.

There's always something going on at The Marietta Square! Many festivals and evening concerts are scheduled throughout the year, along with farmer's markets. Check out The Strand (theater) & their schedule as well, and so many cool places to shop and eat. Was super worried about the mature tree removal around the perimeter (roots pushing up sidewalks) but it already is looking great again!

Went to the Taste of Marietta. It was a wonderful day, with all kinds of food to pick from. One of my favorite places to eat is Taqueria! They have the Best variety of Tacos.

I visited Marietta Square while on a trip from Silver City, NM. I loved the shops and found my car loaded with bags of goodies to take home. Of course I worked up an appetite so I grabbed a leisurely dinner at Mac's Raw Bar & Market, and the service and food was to die for!! AND before leaving, snapped some pictures of me and my family in the gazebo in the center of the square.

Many dog friendly outdoor patio places to eat and drink. Eclectic vibe centered around a historic train station. A nice walk path along the tracks.

Art in the park event was spectacular.So much talent in one venue.I look forward to going next year

Our family came to High Country Adventures to celebrate my son's 18th birthday. Jacob was our guide and he was SUPER AWESOME ! ! ! We had the best time and will definitely continue to come back again and again. Thanks for such a wonderful ADVENTURE ! ! !

Amazing experience. The staff is very engaging and friendly, making the whole trip very exciting. The river is very fast with lots of rapids to enjoy. Definitely felt safe with our guide throughout the trip. They are all great professionals. If you want to go rafting, this is the best place to go to. I recommend!

Melody answered the phone when I called for the reservation and each time after, she was extremely kind and informative!Our raft guide was Henry, I PROMISE YOU HES THE BEST GUIDE THERE. He knew the river well and did extremely cool tricks with the raft. He was also very funny and personable which added even more to the experience. While I almost felt like I would died a couple of times Henry kept us very aware of when to do what, so even with our crazy tricks none of us fell out at all.

We had a blast going down the river with High Country adventures again in the last week of May! High Country is so organized and has the best group of river guides that never fail to make the adventure even more fun and exciting! We always paddle with High Country every time we go to the Ocoee and just writing this review makes me want to go back again!

My thirteen year old son described this as “one of the best experiences of his life”. We decided to do a father son rafting trip after finding a heck of a deal on Groupon.We arrived at 10:30 for the 11am middle river trip. The facility was clean and organized and the staff was super friendly. You can leave your keys and phone with them, which felt safe. There were clear instructions on how to be safe on the water and were separated into groups.The drive on the bus was fun and the time it took to get unloaded and on the river was impressive. These guys run a well oiled machine.The trip itself was so much fun and I won’t review it so that I don’t take away some of the adventure. It was safe, a good amount of time, and worth every penny. You will get wet, like within the first two minutes. I also highly recommend leaving your phone, camera and anything else valuable back at the lodge or in your car. It’s very clear within few minutes that there’s a good possibility you’ll be swimming. A photographer will get some great photos that you can purchase at the end of your trip. Do yourself a favor and, buy the photos.This trip will be something my son and I talk about the rest of our lives. We’ve even decided to make this a yearly trip and we can’t thank the folks at High Country Adventures for the wonderful experience. Shout out to our guide Ricky, thanks for pulling me back in my friend!

Amazing experience! So happy to be Jacob’s first official commercial guided trip! He made it fun, exciting, and safe. Still waiting to know the punchline of the penguin joke though.

We did the middle Ocoee Trip. We had a group of 8 people in two boats. Our guides, Ace and Cullen, were awesome. This is a highly recommended activity. I strongly suggest going with this company. From Registration, training session, bus ride and the whitewater experience, it was GREAT.

HENRY, HENRY COVERING THE 6.16.24 FATHER'S DAY 12:30PM 63....... you can not get any better than this... He is the best tour guide I have had ever. You have not ridden the rapids he he was not anchoring your raft.

Ricky was absolutely amazing!!! We brought a group of 6 and he was so professional, hilarious, and made us feel so relaxed during the trip. We can’t wait to book with him again! Can I give him 10 stars? Because we would. My husband and I have been down the river before, but this was our favorite experience. We recommend getting the picture package as well. There are so many great pictures (45, I believe).

We had a blast! My first time rafting and we enjoyed every second of it! Benji was a great guide and we would definitely go back!! Great time and facility. All the staff was super friendly

We had an amazing day conquering the Ocoee River with my friends thanks to High Country! This was not the first time we booked with them, and it certainly won't be the last. Their service is top-notch, and their experienced guides make the trip both enjoyable and safe. High Country is definitely our go-to choice for rafting adventures. Highly recommended!

#whitewaterrafting @ High Country Adventures was OUTSTANDING the second time around. My son and I can’t wait to get back at it. I highly recommend this place. Super well organized and knowledgeable staff. A big shoutout to Jacob Stocklass, our boat captain today. His knowledge of rafting and care for his crew made us feel safe and he made sure we had fun riding the river.

We have a big family group come every year 20 plus people and always good time. The guide can make or break your trip and today our guide Ace was the best we ever have has. He so good and very friendly. Felt completely sage with him.Ace is the man.

My family and I really enjoyed this place. It's very clean and very well kept and very professionally run. They have a great outdoor space with tables to bring your lunch and eat like we did. They have some great souvenirs cups mugs and t-shirts you can buy. And now on to the good stuff the rafting. Their buses are clean the guides are hilarious and even the safety spiel was very entertaining. We got a chance to have Greg d be our guide and he's been doing this for 30 some odd years and you can tell. We had a great time and easily navigated the river. All the boats stuck together and we're very safety conscience allowing us just to have a great time for a day out on the river. I would highly recommend them and hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

In the heart of Tennessee lies the Ocoee River, a fierce torrent renowned for its treacherous white-water rapids. Among the world’s most skilled navigators of these wild waters was Ace, a legendary rapids leader whose name was whispered with reverence and awe. His expertise and courage had earned him the title of the world's greatest, a title he upheld with pride and precision.Ace’s latest challenge was unlike any he had faced before. A team of mercenaries, hardened by countless battles, sought his guidance to traverse the Ocoee. Their mission was shrouded in secrecy, but Ace knew enough: they were pursuing a hidden treasure, rumored to be guardeud by ancient forces and modern dangers alike.As the team gathered at the river’s edge, Ace’s piercing eyes protected by Pit vipers scanned the group. Their leader, a grizzled and bearded warrior named Scout, met his gaze with a nod of respect. “Lead us to victory, Ace,” Scout said, his voice rough with anticipation.The Ocoee roared with a ferocity that would have made lesser men tremble. But Ace was no ordinary man. With a calm that belied the danger, he gave the signal, and they pushed off into the current. The first challenge came swiftly. Razor-sharp rocks jutted from the water, creating a gauntlet of obstacles. With deft maneuvers, Ace guided the raft, his commands clear and decisive.Suddenly, the water churned violently. From the depths emerged river sharks, their teeth glinting menacingly. The mercenaries, weapons at the ready, fought valiantly, but it was Ace’s knowledge of the river that saved them. Using the currents to their advantage, he steered them through the fray, the sharks’ snapping jaws just missing their mark.Their relief was short-lived. On the riverbanks, shadows moved with stealth and purpose. Cherokee warriors, fierce and proud, had come to protect their sacred land. Ace raised his hand, signaling for peace. He spoke in their tongue, a language he had learned in his youth. Respecting the river and its guardians, he negotiated safe passage. The Cherokee, impressed by his honor and skill, allowed them to continue, but not without a warning of the horrors that lay ahead.The river’s calm was deceptive as they ventured further. Flesh-eating fish, creatures of nightmare, swarmed the waters. The mercenaries fought desperately, but it was Ace’s quick thinking that turned the tide. He remembered an old trick: a concoction of herbs that repelled the beasts. Sprinkling it into the water, he watched as the fish retreated, their malevolent eyes glinting with frustration.Exhausted but undeterred, they finally reached their destination: a hidden cove where the treasure lay buried. The mercenaries cheered, their mission a success. Yet, it was Ace who stood apart, his eyes reflecting the river’s endless flow.As the sun set over the Ocoee, Scout approached Ace. “We couldn’t have done it without you,” he said, extending his hand. Ace shook it, a rare smile crossing his face.“It’s the river,” Ace replied. “Respect it, and it will guide you.”With the mission complete, Ace watched as the mercenaries departed, their hearts filled with gratitude and their pockets heavy with treasure. He turned back to the river, his true home, ready for the next adventure. For Ace, the greatest white-water rapids leader, the Ocoee was more than a challenge; it was a testament to his indomitable spirit and unyielding mastery over nature’s wildest waters.

Really enjoyed rafting with High Country!James was an awesome guide but everyone was really great to work with!Can’t wait to come back and do it again!!!

This is the best white water rafting tour around!! We have now gone a few times and every time has been an incredible adventure story lol. Shelley is the best guide ever hands down! But all of the guides there are amazing an experienced. You feel excited and safe and having fun all at the same time. They start out by giving you an intro class and teach you how to do the paddles etc. Then you board the bus and ride down to the entrance at the river. The lunch they serve is pretty good too and they even offer a veggie option. There is also a really fun part before lunch where you swim and float down the river. The water gets colder as the season ends, we went the second time on last day of the season. But what an incredible ride.The first time we conquered the Godzilla rapid was unreal and the second time too. If you stay on the raft or if you flip you will be well prepared and it will be an adventure of a lifetime. We cannot wait to go back next year! They also take pictures the entire time so you have the option to buy one or all of them at the end. Team Kenny!

Today, my group of 9 rode the Ocoee Mid level with Pink! I’ve ridden this a few times, but we had rookies who wanted to experience it. This was the best ride I’ve ever had on the Ocoee! Pinky took us surfing and just gave us the best experience ever! Best part- he yells, “ slide left!” Everyone slid left and it was just to flip our raft! Lol! We all had a great laugh and will definitely come back to ride the upper! When you’re there… ask for Pink!

This was my first time whitewater rafting, and I can 100% say that I loved it!The staff there were super welcoming and friendly, and they all had a light-hearted, upbeat attitude, and definitely made the whole experience that much better!After a scenic drive to the dam where the rafting starts, we met our guide and learned our commands, and this began our trip down the river.I won't spoil the trip, because I definitely think you should do it yourself, but just know that it is definitely worth it.Also, quick shout out to some of our guides, TC Lee, Jack, and Hannah!

It's beautiful but a little pricey. For three adults and a 3-year-old it cost us basically $80 with a military discount. The butterfly exhibit we saw three butterflies LOL and they say that's because the sun was coming through the glass roof, I'm not sure. Kind of bummed out at that. we saw a turtle though!

I feel like something has changed in the last year...My family loves going to Callaway and I've been going there for 30+ years. This year felt different. The lodge front desk staff and the folks in the food service area seemed apathetic at best. Instead of feeling like I was walking into a welcoming environment for my vacation, it was more like a Motel 8 feeling from the staff. They didn't really have solid answers to any of my questions, didn't really know much about anything, and most importantly, didn't know how to properly explain their own billing processes. I ended up getting charges on my credit card long after I was told I had a $0 balance. When I called and asked about it, no responsibility was taken for their mistakes, and they were quite rude about it.Whatever magic this place used to have is gone. The lack of cleanliness in the new coffee shop (which replaced the free coffee they used to offer) was embarrassing. Tables were always dirty, floors were always dirty, even during slow times while workers were not busy. The food quality across the board has declined, and the people working there seemed like they'd rather be anywhere else. And when I reached out about a problem, they chose rudeness and blame over retaining long-time vacationers and good customer service.

Showing some age but we'll keep. Great service, excluding the occasional frustrated (extremely busy) staff member. Signage from the highway to the front desk could be improved. Loved the scenery for sure. Great views! Watch for deer crossing the roads in the area.Our room had a joining door that amplified every argument the couple in the next room had. It was very entertaining so we didn't inform the staff. It also allowed us to smell the "Mary Jane" they enjoyed at 7:30 am one morning. Not the best oder. We didn't ask, and they didn't offer to share.

Callaway Gardens is a pretty well-kept secret day trip destination a little more than an hour away from Atlanta. Springtime visits are glorious, with more varieties of azaleas in bloom from early March through late May than can be counted. There is also an incredible native wildflower trail that allows up close and personal experiences with numerous varieties and another walking trail devoted to a stunning collection of mature rhododendrons. Numerous lakes, trails, golf courses, and scenic drives are also found within the gardens. My favorite stop within the gardens is the Ida Cason Callaway Chapel - a jewel of a chapel with gorgeous stained glass windows built beside another of the numerous lakes. Other highlights are the Butterfly Center and the Discovery Center. The Lodge and Spa at Callaway has been thoughtfully placed within a wooded setting and has the potential to be a lovely and luxurious getaway. There are some kinks to be worked out for full potential to be reached there. The gardens are so worth the drive from Atlanta, especially in springtime.

I was supposed to stay here for Columbus Day weekend. At the end my 3.5hr drive I got a call from the spa saying the resort had no water and so the spa would be closed, all the restaurants and bars. It annoys me because they had known since 4am that day. I asked where else was there to eat because it's a secluded area and they said there's a subway and pizza place in town 🤦‍♀️At this point I was there so I went to checkin and the ladies there were so rude saying they had "no plan yet" for any refunds. Another guest was yelling in the lobby that her daughter had allegedly gotten diarrhea from drinking the water (not saying its true, just literally what I witnessed). Other guests were saying that the surrounding towns were also without water so actually there was *nowhere* to eat. No way I was checking in, and yes I was getting a full refund on everything despite all the attitude from Callaway.Now I know things happen and it can be beyond control, but it's how a place handles it that shows it's caliber. It should have been no questions asked and here's something for your inconvenience. Also since they knew since 4am I should have been notified earlier so I didn't drive 3.5 hrs there and could have made other plans.

I honestly really loved Callaway because of Nostalgic experiences from childhood and tried to remain loyal. I ignored that the pumpkin patch nor fantasy of lights DOES NOT HAVE enough lights or vendors. I ignore the fact that Callaway gardens receive more than enough money to at least pave the parking lot in front of the hotel. I ignore that the cabins and villas range from &500-$700 a night and are not even handicap accessible. I ignored all of this because this is one of Fort Moore’s/Columbus’s main attraction. BUT CUSTOMER SERVICE IS AWFUL. I booked Callaway Garden for Thanksgiving online but the website is ALWAYS TERRIBLE AND GLITCHING. I called to make sure the reservation was for the correct dates and was given verbal confirmation. I was also told that something was wrong with their system and I did receive a confirmation email. I called to see if I could see the venue prior to my reservation. I will admit that MARJORIE reached out to me in August (I booked in July) but I could not check the venue at that time. I attempted to reach out to her a week ago. I do understand that everyone is overwhelmed around the holidays but MARJORIE was supposed to contact me back about the venue and was very delayed in responding. I spoke with VICKIE several times who knew Marjorie was unable to respond and offered no assistance. When I finally spoke with Marjorie, she informed me that my reservation was for the wrong day and attempted to blame it on me. When acknowledging it was their fault, the only resolution she offered was to change days to January to avoid a no show fee. She refused to acknowledge that my holiday plans were ruined and that I had family flying in. She nor the reservations manager offered me an alternative or even free fantasy in lights tickets to at least rectify their mistake. Callaway staff please do better! How can I get compensated for pain and suffering?!

Our stay at Callaway was our back up plan as our other plans were cancelled due to weather. It was a pleasant stay considering the external factors however there were some issues. Upon check-in we were assigned a room however when we used our keycard to enter, it was already occupied by someone else, who was of course quite startled. When we went back to the front desk the employee kind of laughed it off and dismissed it as a training issue as the room had not been marked as occupied. This is a very concerning issue as it puts guests' safety at risk. When we mentioned it at check-out the latter employee apologized more sincerely and seemed to take it more seriously. We enjoyed the gardens but were disappointed that the lake part was closed for the season, the resort pool was closed for maintenance, and the pumpkin event was weekends only. We did absolutely love the spa. The couples salt room reflexology was amazing to do with my spouse and I stayed longer to get additional services.

Checked in to the hotel around 1 pm. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the breakfast both at the hotel and up the street at the breakfast bar off site. Must visit the breakfast bar with the jams and jellies! Omg. Amazing. I enjoyed the birds of prey show and the butterfly enclosure. The pumpkin event was cute but not my favorite. The sunflowers were gone when I went due to a storm, so I can't review that. There are tons of walking trails around and for bike riders the trails for bicycling are endless. Callaway also had planned kids events in the hotel. The lake was beautiful to sit and look at from the hotel. The rooms were very spacious. We had a two bed queen. The bathroom had a large walk in shower and large garden tub. Also the bathroom had a double vanity. Walking around the gardens and enjoying the beautiful flowers was amazing. Don't forget to stop and the gift shop. I left with plenty of beautiful gifts.

Went during October and December. I definitely by far recommend going in October. If you are someone who wants to have a magical date or outing with your family the fall season is the best time to go.Aside from the weather being much more pleasant, the decorations felt much more exciting. It had me and my partner take a second loop around! The food trucks weren’t anything to write home about but the atmosphere definitely will give you those cozy fall vibes.The corn maze in the dark is like a party, the trolley ride around the lake is nostalgic and the little plaza outside of the corn maze with the live music, overhead lights, games, food and gift shop was something we DIDNT get in December and missed ): the lights during October beat out the Fantasy Lights by a long shot and the gift shop theme is a fall lovers dream. I would recommend this over the December tickets for sure,

Great! Room beautiful with balcony. Table and chairs on balcony. Ticket to gardens included with room. Restaurant was excellent! Had prime rib dinner which was delicious . Gardens have a butterfly conservatory which was amazing complete with a lecture if you wanted. All varieties from all over the world. Birds of Prey exhibit.

We last night 17 June 2024 stayed at Callaway Gardens in their cottages, the cottage was very over priced plus they have gall to charge $200 for a pet non refundable. fee. We had planned on staying two nights but after driving around the gardens which is really a joke stayed one night. I had bragged to the wife how beautiful I remember Callaway Gardens from mid 1970’s and that she would see beautiful manicured grounds, what a joke. The chapel I remember very nice setting back in the woods so much has grown you can barely see the church. Overall a total disappointment with our trip. I would highly recommend not going . I did give 5 stars for rooms that is it, Other then that 1 star at the most. What really bothers me is the pet fee. Our dog is 8 pounds. If you expect to see nice gardens you will be sadly disappointed: Understand azalea bloom on n Spring but there are other flowers for summer. The golf course from what we saw is also terrible , my wife and I both play golf. My recommendation stay away from Callaway Gardens, it is by no means worth the money.. Total dissatisfied.

I had an amazing day on Sunday we went to every exhibit and attractionThe birds of prey was cool and interestingBut the Butterfly Conservation was my favorite we literally spent an hour on there admiring all the beautiful butterflies and flowers/plantsWe also attend the Pumpkin Festival it was a lot of fun, great acts and activities for all. The pumpkin trail was coolThe hardest part was following the paper map once inside, a lot of one way roads you can get turned around a bit if your not good at map readingThe bathroom were very clean 10/10Services 10/10Attractions 10/10

The butterfly center and the Bird of prey were awesome. The workers for these two attractions were so informative and very friendly. I also enjoyed the chapel.The name was deceptive. I was expecting “gardens”. The workers in the hotel were very friendly, all saying “hi” and answering all questions.The room was very clean.I was unimpressed with the food and service at the Country Kitchen on 27. Our waitress was good and the food was okay but how can you go wrong with pancakes. BUT my mouth dropped and I could not stop looking when I saw the treatment of the people who sat next to us. I don’t usually write reviews but I could not pass this up. Then you have Cason and Piedmont as two restaurants in the hotel, but same menu and same prices, very expensive. Turkey BLT, made with turkey lunch meat. Whatever.

I always enjoy Callaway Gardens! Especially the butterflies! This year we took a school group and Amelia, our guide/host, was absolutely amazing!! Thank you for an amazingly enjoyable visit and we hope to get Amelia again next year!

Great staff, everyone was friendly and attentive to our needs. Maintenance came and took care of a plumbing issue that we had, and they were just as friendly. We cooked in our cottage so we didn’t visit the restaurant on site. The only issue was while at the beach we had to get out because of high bacteria levels. Many people were upset, we got a refund for the umbrella and chair rental. Our next visit will be during the winter to see the lights.

The website is nearly impossible to use. Don’t even think about trying to use your membership discount. All phone numbers are not real people except for one that gets you a travel agency and one that has a customer service rep who knew less than I did about the process and told me I was distracting her by talking when she was trying to send a useless email to me. Don’t have any expectations of accomplishing anything and you will be just fine. Just unbelievable!

Always a great weekend at Callaway Gardens. Stayed in the cottage this time and found it to be very peaceful and private. Thankful to finally stop at the Butterfly Center. Beautiful set up. Also, the golf course pace was fast, and I was paired with some great guys. And.....the Spa as always was amazing. My masseuse was perfect!

Visited for the Pumpkins at Callaway. We had a blast! They had glow in the dark mini golf, local artisans, spooky book readings for kids, corn mazes and food trucks. Our son loved the lights, bubbles and music. Looking forward to coming back next year.

I cannot say enough good things about Callaway Gardens! It's one of my favorite spots to spend the day. They offer so many fun attractions from Robin lake for swimming, pedal boats, bike rentals and plenty of bike trails. Birds of prey show is so entertaining. The butterfly center is so beautiful. The gardens are maintained so beautifully. If you're near by, it's definitely worth stopping in and spending the day.

As always we have enjoyed our stay. I have visited Callaway for over 40 years and it is still one of my favorite vacations. You can truly relax, feel the e kids are safe and enjoy nature. Generally I do not stay on property because a cabin fits my family’s needs. If you are thinking about a quick getaway or even a week long stay there is so much to do, you will not find yourself bored.

I was very disappointed in our visit to Callaway Gardens this week. We haven't been there in 10 years and it has really gone down hill. I remember taking my parents here several times in the 1970s and 1980s and marveling at how beautiful the grounds were. Now the place is not being maintained well at all. The parking lot at the Discovery Center is not well maintained. The birds of prey show only lasted about 20 minutes. The zip lining is only open on weekends. The whole place almost feels like it's abandoned. No Southern Victory Garden or horticultural Center anymore. When I came home, I got on the internet and found that Callaway Gardens has had to sell thousands of acres of land and has had financial hardships for more than 20 years. People have stopped coming here. The current management is not doing a very good job at all. Even the chapel had a foul odor about it. The only reason I gave this place 2 stars is the front desk clerk whom I believe his name was Roger, was very helpful and the cabin we stayed in was very nice. But it's around $300 per night. It is with great sadness that I can't recommend this place 😢

Stunning, deeply respectful institution which honors the Infantry through all our wars while also putting forth an accurate history.It is a massive grounds requiring a solid two hours minimum to explore, both in and outdoors.Free entry ($5.00 is suggested), lots of free parking, no need to enter via a security gate to arrive there, but there is screening at the door.

The museum is awesome, easily rivaling anything the Smithsonian has to offer. There is so much more here than I thought so I didn't plan my visit very well and only got through half of the museum. If you are in the area and like military history in particular Army Infantry history, you have to visit, it won't disappoint. I think is free, but donations are accepted.

The Infantry Museum is free to enter but after visiting you should feel the need to donate. The exhibits were extremely powerful and it was an awakening to be schooled with the proper history of every conflict since the mid 1700's. Plan to spend hours, as time flies like an arrow while you interact with every display, narration and facts concerning everything military. Bring tissues as you will be overcome with emotion, proud emotion. USA #1 🇺🇸

This is the first class museum that is under appreciated. It should be on everybody's go to list when it comes to learning about not just the United States. Infantry, but the army as well. It's easy to spend an entire day in there.

This is an excellent museum! Every American war has it's own section of life- size displays and interactive exhibits. There's even a room that allows you to feel like you're walking through the jungles of Vietnam.There's also virtual reality experiences on a tank, a helicopter, and several other vehicles that you can purchase.I can't begin to explain how impressive this place is. You can learn so much in an exciting way! I highly recommend visiting the National Infantry museum in Columbus, Georgia!

One of the best museums we have ever visited - and it's free..?Very informative and broken down by the eras.Free public WiFi, too.Plan for 3-4 hours to at least experience anything. There is a free 15 minute film in the main exhibits area that is also highly recommended..!There were some outdoor exhibits, too.HIGHLY recommended to visit!

Great and humbling experience! The willingness to sacrifice for another or just because it is the right thing to do! The Queen of the battle! I came across the Holocaust display. We need American Infantry to teach a country!

Fantastic and free museum. Its great, has amazing captured history, the dioramas were so intricate. The flow and design were smart and layed out well. Bathrooms clean, paintings were some of the best I've seen depicting incredible scenarios. Its one of the best museums I've visited. Must see if you're in this area.

It's a free museum! Incredibly well done and extremely realistic! I love many different aspects of history and this has them. But I really feel as tho I learned so much more going through it. I highly encourage everyone to tour it!! I came away with an even deeper appreciation for history, my country, & my freedom - as well as what others have gone through to attain and keep it. Watching videos of the holocaust is always riveting but even more so there. It was especially moving given the fact my youngest was graduating from Army Infantry Basic Training and was our guide!

First-class museum, and it's free! We spent several hours walking through all of the inside displays, then went outside. Clean, well-kept facility and grounds, friendly volunteers, and they have benches in different places if you need a short break. They have an elevator if needed.

First visit to honor and celebrate the lives of the fallen soldiers. Beautiful place to show gratitude to all the service members who lost their lives for our freedom. God bless America 🇺🇸

This Museum is hands down one of the best! I was absolutely shocked at how amazing this was! Well worth your time! If you support our Military and like real history you will love this place! So many valuable things to learn and see.

This is my first time to visit this place and I was in awe. The museum has several galleries and has very interesting displays to look and stories to read. It took me 2hours to finish my visit, but actually will take more than that if you truly and hearthily read all of it. The museum visit is of free admission, but a minimum of $5 per person is appreciated as donation. Outside you can visit a memorial site, an old train, combat vehicles and etc. It is located Fort Moore, Columbus, Georgia.

One of our absolute favorite museums to visit. You can't get enough of the history. It fills you with pride and a lot of emotion, especially when you have a lot of family who have served and have lost friends and family!

This is the best free museum I've ever been to (donations only)! It's 3 floors very big and an extremely nice. I was very impressed. There is a theater inside along with concession area that sales food so many thing to read and see you will need a couple hours to see everything and there is even an outside area and courtyard with many facts! This museum is huge and many awards hang in the ceiling in the front entrance and I can see why. It was also very clean and friendly staff, this is a definite must if your in the Columbus area. It's literally a top 5 museum and also they offer rooms for events and weddings. Add it to your bucket list!

I checked out the National Infantry Museum while in town for my son who graduated OCS training at Fort Moore!! I highly recommend going there if you are in or near Columbus Georgia. It has been rated the best free museum in the nation several times!!!

Definitely a place you want to visit . Free to the public with just about every inch of military history. There is a theatre and virtual reality area that costs a few dollars extra but is worth the experience.

This is a great museum and still growing! I was moved by the 9/11 memorial and Gulf War exhibit. Be sure to visit the tank exhibit. It’s worth the walk. Great staff and volunteers!

I visited this museum on a day trip. Admission is donation only, and parking is free and on site. The museum is interactive and separated according to the timeline and war's. It took about 2 hours but I could have easily spent more time. There is so much history located in these walls. The museum does extend outside also but weather was not permitting. 10/10 recommend the National Infantry Museum.

Amazing! We went right in… no admission needed as it was free. Recent wars and memorabilia there. A room representing ambush in Vietnam was very realistic per my husband who was there. A lot to see in one day although that’s what we did and were very impressed.

We were here for a basic training graduation. The ceremony was small, inside and nice. We were able to tour the museum afterwards and I definitely recommend. My children 7 and 9yo didn't want to spend as much time as I did... but they aren't veterans. Very emotive displays/exhibits. I didn't see all of it, as I was being dragged through the lower portion. You cannot bring even water bottles inside... though, I was able to check it and pick it up as I left! Everyone was polite, professional, and knowledgeable. Worth the stop if you have any interest military, any family or friends who are veterans, or just want a little insight into some of America's history.

A brick and mortar of the infantry photo album and history! Well done! Includes a theater as well! Lockers available to check things so you don’t have to carry as you tour… submerge yourself in interactive infantry/Fort Moore/war history for hours and you’re guaranteed to learn something new

Gold Star Family Reunion was beautiful and the outside memorials were well lighted we easily found the soldiers we were looking for on the wall.The miniature Vietnam wall was there and refurbished

We were actually quite late entering and we're not given any issues. We had a lot of fun. The exhibits are perfect condition. The animals all seem happy. I swear some of the fish pose!

Loved it here! Really clean and organized. You can tell right away the staff are educated with everything and took care of their sea creatures. Definitely buy tickets in advance. We spent about 3 hours here.

Customer service was very friendly at the front desk, we had to wait for the 1:00 p.m. tour, so we had 45 minutes where we walked around the outside and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Very nice view by the river made the time go by fast and we even walked through the gift shop and grab some concessions from the snack shack.The tour is beautiful, everything seemed to well kept, we enjoyed all of the exotic fish as well as all the information that is posted throughout the exhibit. My favorite was the butterfly exhibit, I was told that they had more butterflies in previous moments but I understand during the winter time they can't have a ton of butterflies out. But they were very nice and there were quite a few of them to watch.Highly recommend coming here, all the animals seem well taken care of and there wasn't as busy as I thought it was going to be on a Saturday.

A must visit place if you are in the Chattanooga town and have a few hours to spare. The aquarium is made up of 2 distinct blocks The River block and the Ocean block. Both are unique in their own ways and the display is amazing. The details of each species are well documented and easily accessible. There are ample photo opportunities especially for small children who can enter special photo domes created to get closeup photos clicked. Also the butterfly park located in the Ocean Zone is very beautiful and enjoyable. All in all a perfect place for a family outing especially for families with small children.

We have season tickets and I was bummed when we went by on Saturday (I should have known) they were sold out for the next 4 hours. BUT I found out that with season tickets you can just go on in! We had a first timer to any aquarium and she was in awe. I have been to aquariums around the world and I still say this one is the absolute best. The exhibits, education, and staff are all top notch.

We really enjoyed our time at the aquarium, it was fun for all ages. We loved the crawl spaces, it made us feel like we were in the tanks. The collection of animals was diverse making it more interesting. We loved how the River building flowed and wished that continued in the Ocean building. Overall it's somewhere we'd visit again!

The first time I visited this aquarium was 2004 or 2005, and I remember being impressed. It's no less impressive today, and the crowd flows much more smoothly. The displays are fun, interesting & educational. Even our 16yo enjoyed it. Everything seems well-maintained and clean. Admission is kinda expensive at $40 per adult ($30 for under 17) and parking adds more $$. The gift shop is as expected including ridiculous prices for basic stuff, like $50 for a screen-printed t-shirt. But nobody's forcing you to buy anything there, and the experience is well worth the price of admission. We've visited aquariums in New Orleans and Atlanta too, and the Tennessee Aquarium is definitely top-tier. Strongly recommend!

Saturday crazy busy!! I looked online before traveling. Nothing said to purchase tickets in advance. We had to wait 3 hours before we could even schedule a time to enter the aquarium. On top of that, we had to pay 15$ to park. Ended up having to purchase tickets for the next day and come back because the next scheduled time would not give us enough time to view both fresh and salt water sides. We are not local. Hopefully, this will be worth the return trip tomorrow!!Follow up, we drove back to Chattanooga and visited both sites. We had to pay another 15$ to park. The salt water side was okay. The older fresh water side was very nice. I have to be honest, it was NOT worth 110$ for 3 of us, but it had been over 10 years since we had been. Probably will not return for another 10 years. The city was clean and there were a lot of places to eat.

Is a really nice aquarium. I liked how one building was River and the other ocean. Fun interactive things to do at each. My kids liked petting the creatures. I would say the cost to get in was a bit steep and I expected more to see I think.

Two exceptionally cool aquarium buildings. One fresh. One salt. Shows off plenty of the natural river view in both buildings and many fascinating species in both. The river/fresh building was laid out in a really cool way especially. A fantastic experience overall.

I love aquariums and this one was awesome! It’s very cool with one building holding the freshwater aquariums and one holding the salt water aquariums with a unique public space with water features and a small temporary market outside. We walked from our hotel in the morning and took the free shuttle back in the afternoon. It was very well laid but the bathrooms weren’t as easy to find because there weren’t a ton of obvious transition points. We were there the majority of the day and saw the animal IMAX movie which was fun although I think it would have been better in 2D.

Started off with a behind the scenes tour which was phenomenal! Got to see a lot of the aquarium before it opened and the guide was highly knowledgeable about the aquarium and the exhibits. It was super neat going behind the scenes to see how the animals are fed and taken care of. After we were done with the behind the scenes part we went through the aquarium properly and it was amazing how big it is and how diverse the fish population they have. It is a must see if you are in Chattanooga and looking for anything to do!

Fantastic Aquarium. The split buildings were a cool way to physically transfer you from Fresh Water to Salt.The Ocean bottom walk through was the best I've ever experienced. Multiple areas to view fish 360° and spots to sit/lay and enjoy.The river walk was very unique, haven't seen any other Aquariums that focus on rivers in particular. Getting to pet a sturgeon was awesome.

This was so much fun. I hadn't been since I was in my early 20s and I had a great time. So much to see and amazing fish and animals. I suggest you do both Journeys and start with Ocean first. River is my favorite tho.

I really enjoyed this aquarium. It isn't the best I've been to, but it certainly isn't the worst either. They have 2 separate buildings for fresh water and salt water fish. It's a unique setup as well with multiple storied buildings. They have a nice butterfly exhibit included, which is a fun change of pace. Staff were all very friendly. They have multiple bathrooms throughout, so nothing gets too crowded. Definitely worth while if you're in the area and looking to kill some time.

We have an annual family membership and love it! Rainy days or any day, we can take the kiddos down and meander around. Sit and watch the butterflies! Become mesmerized by the sturgeon! Play with the Otters! Or watch the turtles and crocodiles! It’s always new and always engaging. A step away from the world for a little while.

We had a wonderful time today at the Tennessee Aquarium! There are two buildings to explore: one with river animals, and one with ocean animals and a butterfly garden. Both buildings are laid out in a continuous circuit so you can visit all of the exhibits and not "miss" anything. There are two places for animal interaction: one touch tank for sturgeon, and one touch tank for a variety of rays (adult supervision required for children). In addition to hundreds of fish species, you will also find turtles, amphibians, river otters, lemurs, penguins, and more.Things to know: There is a paid parking lot; no free parking close by. The aquarium is accessible by wheelchair. Restrooms are available on site and there are sinks near both touch tanks to wash your hands. Very child friendly. Both buildings have a gift shop on the bottom floor.

Really great zoo! Would be a 5 stars however the tortoises did not seem to have enough room. We own small species and they need tons of space because they're wanders.Besides that, I loved the education content and this greenhouse was absolutely stunning. It took about 1 and a half hours to do the whole thing.

Wonderful!! Fantastic!! The Tennessee Aquarium is an absolutely awesome experience. The building itself is beautifully designed and well-maintained, making it a pleasure to explore. There is so much to see and do that you'll definitely want to plan for multiple visits to take it all in.The aquarium is very accommodating for visitors of all ages and abilities. I loved the fact that I could walk around for as long as I wanted, exploring the four different levels at my own pace. And whenever I needed a break, there were plenty of seating options available.Overall, I highly recommend the Tennessee Aquarium to anyone looking for a fun and educational experience. It's a fantastic place to learn about aquatic life and appreciate the wonders of the natural world.

This aquarium is exceptional!! We pet sand sharks, sturgeon, sting rays , and some cute fish! Huge place with two separate buildings, fresh water and saltwater!! Food options in between and gift stores in both buildings! Could easily spend an entire day here with children!!

Very nice attraction if you're visiting the Chattanooga area. The aquarium is worth the visit. There are two buildings. One has oceanic species of fish, the other freshwater, including fish that you find in the Tennessee River. It was really interesting watching the divers clean inside the tanks with sharks swimming around them. The aquarium is definitely worth the visit.

Great aquarium! Very interactive and educational. Clean and inviting for the most part! The carpets in the areas where you can crawl into spaces could use a cleaning (smelly and brown in areas). The staff is kind and offered assistance.

Tennessee Aquairum was a very interesting place. You will need to get tickets early. It was very coo;l to see all the fishes around the river and world. Gators wanted their picture taken each time. Otters were fun. Some areas were beautiful as a painting. It is a well visit.One Downside of the place is the gift shop. It is way overpriced. I would skip it 100 percent.

🌟WORTH SO MANY MORE STARS!🌟 Our family buys a membership every year, and let me tell you… it is worth every penny! No visit is ever the same, and we’ve been a hundred or more times. Seriously! The staff are so unique and they absolutely love to talk about their animals and aquatic life! We enjoy the many member events they hold year round! This is a must stop if you’re traveling through!

Ruby Falls was very fun. Lily was an amazing guide during the tour. She made everyone smile.Within the tour, the creativity of the named formation was cool. I laughed at the ending small music area at the ending. The star of the show was the waterfall. The music and light show were fun to watch. You can get up close but do not have a bad area in the cavern.After the tour, I would highly recommend going up to the lookout point. It is a beautiful view.Side note: You will feel squished when other tours are passing by.

WOW!! This is definitely a must see cave! Took a little summer road trip with grandkids to visit. We had a wonderful time touring and experiencing the beautiful Ruby Falls! There is a nice souvenir store and restaurant to visit while waiting on your tour.

Rich with history and beautiful cave formations, Ruby Falls does not disappoint! The tours are informative and the guides have fun personalities. If you’re over 6’ watch your head, it is a cave after all.The waterfall is breathtaking and the lighting accents its beauty! Definitely worth the walk and herds of cave tourists as seen in their natural habitat! Can’t take credit for the joke but perhaps you’ll get this guide!The kids had fun looking around, and it was a pretty easy walk for them. We went on a hot day and the cave and waterfall temperature was cool and comfortable. I recommend a light jacket even in the summer.The gift shop has a large selection of goods. The photos are fun and reasonably priced! I can’t recommend this spot enough, it’s truly a treasure and live story to boot!

Second visit to Ruby falls after 17years. I have better cameras now so took better pictures :). The experience has been pretty consistent so I would say nothing much has changed and it is good. There are zip lining activities which I am not up for. So adventurous ones can try

It's great to experience the joy that Ruby experienced back in her days. The underground waterfall was worth the trip. Too bad I can't take it home but I get to share it with the world.

My family and I decided to go to Ruby Falls on our vacation in the first week of October, and we ordered tickets in advance. We live in the Eastern Time Zone, so our tickets were off an hour, so when we arrived, we found out we were supposed to go an hour earlier, but the workers there kindly adjusted our tickets before we even arrived. It wasn't that cold in the caves even though it was in October, so you don't need to dress that warm, plus you will heat up as you are walking. We took the regular walking tour. Be prepared to have your camera ready because there will be many rock formations inside the caves you may want to take a picture of. For most of them, they have little signs, so you can spot them. My camera had trouble adjusting because there are lower light levels. You also may want to bring good shoes with good souls so you don't slip because there may be some water on the path. You are led by a guide in single file through the cave. The guide will stop periodically and explain some sights along the way. At the very end is the waterfall, which is lit up by some lights. The path can be somewhat small, but it really opens up in the waterfall area. You spent approximately 5 minutes at the waterfall and then headed back the way you came. I wish the light show was just a little bit brighter and more intense at the waterfall. It was a very fun tour and I highly recommend it.

I think Ruby Falls is my favorite cave experience so far. The formations were so incredible.The paths are easy to walk on, and the falls at the end of the journey is worth it.Parking was a breeze and the entrance to the cavern is one of the neatest I’ve seen. You enter the caverns through a castle that was built by the rocks that were removed from the cavern.The trails are tight, so patrons who aren’t fond of small spaces would have to really pep talk themselves before embarking on this tour.The small kids on our tour didn’t fair well bc you can’t touch anything. They cried a lot—and caves echo.The cavern has flooring that makes it much easier to walk on. For safety and easy access, I recommend wearing shoes with tread, that are tied to your feet.This is an awesome summer tour because the caverns are naturally cool. Your ticket will also let you access the lookout tower which is on top of the castle.The cafe was charming.Everything was very clean.I suggest tipping your guide and if you don’t have cash, don’t forget a lot of these guides have electronic apps (Venmo, cash app, PayPal, etc.)!Ben was my tour guide and he was such a fun character. He was informative and honest. We also interacted with Brayden who was hilarious and engaging as he pointed us in the direction of the outlook entrance.

Absolutely LOVED our visit to Ruby Falls! Came here for my birthday and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.Our tour guide, Scott (or goes by the nickname Scooter) was awesome! He had a great sense of humor and added a lot of funny jokes into his speeches about the caves and how it was discovered.The walk through the caves wasn’t bad at all. They say that it takes around 90 minutes for the tour but that time went by very fast. Once we got to the waterfall I’d say we had about 10 minutes to take pictures and enjoy the beauty of it before we had to leave for other tours to come in.They do take group pictures before entering the caves which are available for $35 once the tour concludes and you enter the big gift shop. It’s a nice little souvenir to keep for the memories but you’re also able to take pictures with your phone throughout the tour.I’d highly recommend the tour at Ruby Falls! It was a fun experience for my family and I. They also have other tour options like lantern tours or haunted tours. Might come back in the future for those!

Very unique and fun experience! Once you take the elevator down into the cave it is an easy 1/2 mile walk to the waterfall. Our tour guide, Austin, was nice, knowledgeable and funny. Overall it was a great experience. Once you reach the waterfall you only have a short time there, I do think they should add a few extra minutes to that time.

We have a home in Blue Ridge area and wanted to take a day trip to see Ruby Falls, luckily we are able to go during the week to miss the big crowds and busy season, we really enjoyed the history of this place.

Ruby Falls is a must-visit gem for anyone in the vicinity. The underground waterfall is nothing short of spectacular, and learning about its fascinating history adds depth to the experience. The tour guides are knowledgeable and engaging, enhancing the journey through the caverns. It typically takes about an hour to reach the waterfall and return, making it a manageable excursion. I appreciate how formations are named based on their appearance, adding to the allure of exploration. For convenience, I recommend purchasing tickets online to secure time reservations. All in all, Ruby Falls offers an unforgettable adventure beneath the surface, making it a highlight of any trip to the area.

This is a must do! Ruby Falls is an amazing experience. Tyler our tour guide was great

We really enjoyed exploring Ruby falls. It was our first time visit. Waterfall was amazing very glad we came to visit.

It is a great experience indeed. The falls are deep in the mountain - to get there you walk through a cave with fascinating rock formations. Make sure you put Ruby falls on your itinerary when visiting Chattanooga

I was visiting the city for an event. I was looking for a little adventure while there and found Ruby Falls. I'm glad I did. This is a must-see if you're in the city. It's the most wonderful, easy cave tour I have ever had. It's also a good tour for all ages. When you reach the Thundering Waterfall, it's a breathtaking experience! I'll go back there again and will bring my family.

I highly recommend it. A fantastic experience. I love visiting unusual places with history. This cave is definitely worth a visit. It's a mile-long walk that doesn't seem like much, because the walk is interactive with a guide and at the end you'll see an incredible waterfall that's beautiful and refreshing. I went on Sunday and it was a little crowded, but it's still not a bad tour. They have a gift shop and at the end of the tour, you can go up to the top of the building and enjoy the view of the city. I bought the ticket online, but you can buy it there on the spot, you just run the risk of it being full at the time you want, so buying online might be the best option.

Falls inside cave is a unique experience. But the guide was quite quick in showing everything. We spend around 2 hrs .Wished they allowed us to spend more time near fall.We did the tour in the summer afternoon to escape heat .

A bit expensive for what it is. Other caves are better and cost $10.00 less. The only real attraction to this cave is the waterfall. The other features pale in comparison to other caves. I'm not sure how I feel about the light show and music at the waterfall. I prefer the natural cave sounds and a more normal type lighting.

When it comes to history, some of it might be true, some of it might be embellished. The safety measures inside are excellent, and they close the attractions during heavy rains to prevent flooding. From the rooftop, you can get a great view of Chattanooga and catch a glimpse of the legendary underground waterfall.

Visited Ruby Falls during the labour day weekend! The experience was FANTASTIC. I recommend buying tickets in advance and reach the location 15 mins before the scheduled time. They have groups based on the time slot which are accompanied by a guide. It takes about 1 hr for the entire tour and the guide walks at a strolling pace, kids and elderly people can catch up. The overall tour needs to be experienced can’t be described in words.There is a cafe and which serves good food at decent prices.Parking is available which is free. The journey from the valley to the mountains is very scenic.

So much amazing pictures I took inside of the Ruby falls. Every penny worth it. You can come inside and enjoy the tour inside the cave and when you walking inside of the deepest inside the cave, you'll reach the beautiful waterfall. I said that it is awesome. Totally almost 30 dollars for adult. And next to the there is cafe they make really great flatbreads. I recommend the flatbread for you in there. And prices are ideally great. I recommend a lot

Such an amazing place to visit, underground paths millions of years of the rock formations, and of course the big ruby falls deep down into the cave just so magical. Also need book tour from the ruby falls website to see the falls

My parents brought me here as a child. I was able to visit again with my son. One of the “must visit” sites in America. Stunning views!

It's a must see! Definitely wish we had made this an entire day trip. I believe I remember a restaurant, but there is definitely and a little shop with snacks, souvenirs and a bar. There was even a singer/guitarist performing! We saw signs about a bird of prey show but time didn't allow us to stay.

An excellent trail and view at the top were highly worth it. I recommend using all trials to ensure you don't take a wrong turn.

If you are looking for rock city and Google tells you to go down tower road that is the wrong way and address. Although that road is very off road and little streams and jeep worthy so if you are into that sorta thing go for it.The address is actually1400 Patten Rd, Lookout Mountain, GA 30750See my photos below. This place is a blast

If you love Civil War history this is a must stop while in Chattanooga. The view is why I rated it 5 stars. Veterans get a discount to enter the military park. There are other sires nearby relating to civil war history that are worth seeing, especially the Gordon Lee mansion and battle of Chickamauga in Chickamauga Georgia.

The fall colors on the way to the top of the mountain on the Incline Railway were beautiful!

Was well worth the trip! Lots of fun family friendly amusement. Phenomenal view once you get to the top. Definitely recommend! You have to pay to get in, and the trails were not as difficult nor long because there was so many beautiful distractions. Time flies fast here.

Breathtaking scenery atop this large mountain that crosses Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia. One of America's most scenic locations!

Loved this place! My wife and I were in town for a softball tournament with our daughter. We had about 4 hours in between games which was a perfect amount of time to grab lunch at Big Rock Grill, see the rock city gardens, lookout mountain and the shops. Although we ate at the Big Rock Grill just inside the gate I would recommend holding out to eat at the Cafe 7 located right by the overlook (about halfway through the Rock City gardens tour). The view there is way better while your eating! This is a tour that anyone can like, all ages. All of the trails are paved and definitely easy to navigate, unless your in a wheel chair. There were quite a few tight squeezes that may be scary for those with claustrophobia but otherwise fun and enjoyable. If your in town do what the signs say.....SEE ROCK CITY!

It's great place to get some fresh air and see some scenic views. The history here is something worth learning. We watched the video which was helpful in understanding the different informational posts. My only downside is that there is no railing for the steep drop offs. Other than that great location with beautiful drive to the top.

Absolutely loved it!! One of the coolest places I've been... great it you love nature. it was a magical experience!

Beautiful view. Suggestion visiting the place when the weather is not hot. October would be best time.

My best friend, her daughter (who was getting married in four days), and I decided to take a day trip to Lookout Mountain. First, the drive itself is beautiful- especially during the season when the leaves are all changing colors. It’s almost unreal because it looks so picturesque.We dined at a Cafe in town then did the Lookout Mountain tour (along with some souvenir shopping!)😊This is one of the best places to visit for a fun day trip with family, friends, or just to get away! The sights are stunning, the other features offered along time tour are extremely interesting, and the history is amazing. I’m a huge history buff so I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the ‘See Rock City’ campaign- when over 700 barns were painted red then adorned with the ‘See Rock City’ logo.And of course I brought home the iconic birdhouse as my souvenir. Love it!The walk itself is very mild- anyone, regardless of fitness level- can complete the walk and enjoy every step!!! Multiple viewing areas (with chairs and benches) are available as well as other resting points along the way.If you haven’t been to Lookout Mountain, or is been a while since your last visit, definitely plan a day trip! It’s well worth it- I’m already looking forward to visiting again with my son and husband!

This is a great family experience. You can even bring your dog on a leash. At the end, there is a winery that has some pretty decent ones. There’s a gift shop as well. Try not to walk through too quickly. We kind of rushed through without realizing how short it was. I love the lighting and the scenery. There was also a spot to stop and see seven different cities from one point. The waterfall is pretty, but you cannot get into it from this path. Follow my Instagram @rosadivina29 for more places I’ve visited!

Definitely worth the trip. We drove up to the top and were glad we did.Lookout Mountain was great, such beautiful views.After that we drove around and were surprised to how many homes are up there.

I was skeptical at first, thought it was just another tourist trap but this place is awesome. So many great views and photo opportunities. Definitely worth the trip and the cost of admission. Not to mention they serve beer and have wine tasting inside.

So, if it were just items from unclaimed bags that would be one thing. This place has so much low quality stuff from China with tags still on them that are priced high it’s crazy. The items advertised on the website are not available at the store as well. The cosmetics and jewelry are at full retail price. I just stocked up at Ulta and Sephora with their sales and I got better deals than here. It is a large, clean and busy store with a little cafe/coffee shop inside. The nice lady that cashed us out on the one item we bought said she doesn’t shop here, even with a 25% employee discount! We drove from Chattanooga just to shop here. The PR team must be paid well because they sold us to make the drive. Not worth it for sure. If you happen to pass by, stop. If it’s a drive, hard pass.

A huge disappointment...I should have read the reviews before my planned trip. They are all point. I actually agreed with all the lowest stars reviews. Was a waste of my time really. A big huge overpriced thrift store.I think they should tap into probably selling the stuff in luggages...and make the items be mysterious...that would be cool...matching the name of the place. Then u get what u get...the disappointment wouldn't be on them at that point...but what's in the trunk...because baaaaaby...no way was half the stuff worth the prices I saw.Small dining area was closed...except for coffee and sweet treats. That was also disappointing as we were in the middle of nowhere and my kids were hungry. Turned out...the city area with lots of dining options...was actually nearby.But...higher than expected prices...not cool stuff....just your regular thrift store stuff.Staff was A+ five stars. Very kind and attentive.Store was neatly organized and clean.Love the biz idea...just ain't going back.

We were very excited to make a stop here. I will say that we bought some cool items, however we were kind of disappointed. It was not as big as I thought it would be and there was not a whole lot of good deals. I looked in the fine goods section and they were very overpriced. We were also disappointed by the selection of luggage. I think if I could do it over again, I would skip this store. It was very overhyped online.

This place has everything from books, clothes, electronics, musical instruments, sports equipment and pretty much anything you can imagine. There is a small museum and a separate bargain basement building. It was something unique to visit and experience.I rated it low because their prices were way too high, especially when it came to electronics. The things that were cheap were old and outdated. We were there for several hours and didn't buy anything.

Pretty cool little spot. On one hand, the pricing is pretty good. They do not seem to gouge you on name brands but do seem to be a bit high on some items. Pretty wild to think about all these things are left in luggage and lost at some point during the travels. Some items in the store are worth thousands. I would hate to find something I lost here. lol

I’ve been to Unclaimed Baggage dozens of times throughout my life, as I grew up about 15 miles from Scottsboro. The place can be a little overwhelming, it is huge, tons of merchandise and new items added daily. This doesn’t even include what is available through their online store. You can certainly find some great deals if you look hard enough and a lot of good deals but don’t get caught up in the marketing as some of the prices are just ok and can be found for a better price elsewhere. They have everything you can imagine, clothing, electronics, shoes, books, toys and more. If you have never been, you need to go at least once. Except to spend about a half a day and I recommend going on a weekday as it is packed on Saturday. When planning your trip remember, they are not opened on Sunday.

In its' earlier days, you could always find a bargain. This was a pleasant diversion from thrift store shopping as it was clean and well-organized. Now it seems bargains are minimal and you can find the same items priced online for less.

Last minute roadtrip with my son and my sisters to Guntersville during this Christmas season, and it was a decent distance from home, not too far at all. This was not my first time visiting, but you never know what you might find. We found quite a few new designer items at less than half of the retail price. The bargain warehouse - not too lucky this trip as we left with only an item for our dog. But it was definitely worth the trip!

It's a hit or miss if you are seeking something specific. I have left here more than once empty handed. That makes a long drive home not happy.Unclaimed Baggage is in Scottsboro, a very small town in Alabama, kinda out there next to nothing. Most of the town looks old, rundown and sad. Unclaimed Baggage Store is on top of their property and building, everything is very, very nice! 👍🏻👍🏻😍Be prepared to shop for hours, it's a big building and it's packed! Kinda set up like a goodwill and/or jewelry department store.They have a little bit of everything, for men, women and children. The fine jewelry is in glass cases, no collectibles tho, boo.There's WAY TOO MUCH CLOTHING here. PRICES are rather high for used stuff. Used mans long sleeve flannel, cheapest I found was $7. The one I liked used was $18. I didn't get it, it was used.I use to love to get guady jewelry here for cheap, but that is no longer an option. Costume jewelry, even broken starts at $7.The girls working said there are "special "discount days", but I have yet to experience it.Bonuses ~☆ HISTORICAL FINDS ~ The found items of worth are in the museum located inside the store. Free to view and photograph. Very nice addition to the store. See photo.☆ Neat Finds displayed all through the store! Very Neat! Love the GIANT flying Tinkerbell. Like the kids sweetly painted suitcases on the wall by the changing rooms.☆ Thirsty or Hungry? Yes, a small diner is inside the store. I love chicken salad, not a fan of it here tho, should have gotten the kids pizza, $8.☆ It's cold inside ~ air-conditioning!!☆ Unclaimed Baggage accepts returns on clothing ~ something like 12 days.☆ It's clean!! You won't leave dirty or sneezing! I have allergies and no issues!☆ Cute photo spots to insert yourself for a fun selfie inside and outside the store!☆ Accepts Cash and Credit Cards.☆ HUGE PARKING LOT☆ Female/Male Bathrooms Available☆ Ramp inside to shop upstairs easierLast visited 6/10/24. Today is 6/15/24ATTENTION MEN ~ THERE IS NOTHING HERE FOR YOU UNLESS YOU LIKE SHOPPING/SORTING/SEARCHING THROUGHOUT ~ fair warning ... there's also nothing around town close to visit, best to visit the UB snack shop!My husband would rather eat glass then come shop here with me.I'm giving the score 3/5 because of the unfortunate high prices on used items.Everyone who works here is absolutely so sweet!

Great experience. The staff was helpful. It looks like they're expanding and doing better. I'm glad now they're open till 8pm, I came by last year and they were closed. The museum is a nice touch. They even have a discount building in the back for 75% off..

The Unclaimed Baggage store is a place where you can buy people’s old luggage. If you do not claim your lost baggage after a certain time the airline sells it to this place. I was able to find clothes, jewelry, shoes and even iPhones. They have everything. I was also able to get a designer item. And there is no smell and everything is very clean. The bathroom is spotless. You can buy stuff for very cheap and it is definitely worth visiting.

A lot bigger than I expected it to be. Everything is priced individually. Some things were kinda fairly price and others were over priced. Therefore, we didn't buy anything. Neat unique place to see if you happen to be in Scottsboro, but I definitely wouldn’t make a special trip or go out of my way.

If you happen to be in the northern part of Alabama you’d have to swing by this place. It’s pretty neat place to check out. Especially for all the bargain hunters is a must.

One Man’s Lost Luggage is Another’s Treasure (Sort Of)Ever wondered where your lost luggage ends up when it decides to take a vacation without you? Well, pack your curiosity and head to Unclaimed Baggage in Scottsboro, Alabama, where lost bags and their contents find a new lease on life—and new owners.This isn’t just a store; it’s the Ellis Island for wayward suitcases and their globe-trotting contents.Unclaimed Baggage started out in 1970 when Doyle Owens bought 110 lost bags from a Trailways bus station in Washington, D.C., and decided to sell the contents. Little did he know, he was onto something big. Fast forward to today, and this place has turned into a 40,000 square foot mecca for bargain (kinda) hunters, curiosity seekers, and stories of travels gone awry.Walking into Unclaimed Baggage, you might expect a Willy Wonka’s factory of lost items, each suitcase ready to spill its secrets. But lower those expectations—it’s more like an upscale thrift store than a treasure trove. Think of it as the place where items go when they’ve been ghosted by their owners.The prices? Well, they aren’t the dirt-cheap deals you might hope for. Electronics are about 30% off retail, which I guess honestly isn’t too shabby compared to the Russian roulette of eBay—remember, these gadgets were in the middle of binge-watching Netflix or navigating Google Maps before they mysteriously ended up here.So, is Unclaimed Baggage worth the trip? Absolutely—for the sheer spectacle and the chance to own a piece of someone else’s travel mishaps.But if you’re looking for the steal of the century, you might find yourself feeling a bit lost. Just like that half-pair of designer sunglasses waiting for its other half to come home.

The family and I stopped by Unclaimed Baggage on a road trip through the area. We found some great deals on Oakly Sunglasses, a dooney and bourke bag, kids' clothes, and a pair of awesome Nike shoes. They had a deal going for 25% off clearance items. The place was busy but not crazy crowded. We arrived early and were gone by 11am. If you can stop, it's worth a look around.

This was 2nd trip here. The amount of product seems to have overwhelmed this place. But everything is in good shape.The bargain store part wasn't much.It was extremely crowded and that's not fun either. But still a.great place to shop.

I've been several times over the years and back when they were less known (before Oprah revealed and shared them with the world) they had much more friendly and affordable prices and still profited. Now it's seldom worth making the trip due to major changes and increases of their prices and becoming more about the money and less about the people!! That's not to say you won't get great deals it's just just fewer and further between. I've always enjoyed the times I've been if for nothing else you can always see some unique and different things!!! Happy shopping! 🛍️

Wyatt was a very nice person. He told me the history of the store and suggested local places to eat! I am coming from Nashville TN and will come back for sure. His customer service was off the chain. He deserves a lunch on the company.

Prices very close to retail on the electronics I looked at. Neat place I guess, but if it isn't on the way to another destination. Save your time and gas. But it's basically a goodwill with some nicer stuff.

Wow. What an event. What a treat! Worth the hour-and-a-half drive from Murfreesboro for this bad boy. Find designer clothes, AirPods and gadgets, shoes and suits, books, and a museum for the men to peruse while the ladies keep shopping 😉. For several decades, Unclaimed Baggage has bought the leftovers of baggage from trains, flights, and more. They buy by the suitcase and even the shipping container and then display in their store. The Unclaimed Baggage main building has huge children’s, women’s, jewelry, and gadget sections, with also a smaller but no less impressive men’s. See also the exotic foreign clothing and the fitness wear. The main building also features a Starbucks with a sandwich and panini shop. Drop off your bags at the side counter entrance and head over to the Bargain Basement, with prices, deals, and items you’d think of more in a traditional thrift store. From junk to treasures to everything in between, you’ll find what you never knew you wanted here at Unclaimed Baggage!

A great experience, the tour guide is was a generational employee with a family history of making whiskey. Very informative, good tasting, and the store had distillery series of bottles that are only sold their. Pretty cool experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience! I think it was chiefly due to our amazing guide Justin aka Juice! Even before our tour started and Justin knew we were part of his tour he had stopped to greet us. We were looking at the family tree of Nearest Green and Justin identified people he knew and some fun facts about them. Justin was so friendly, jovial, and informative. His wit, warmth, obvious experience were second only to his passion for what he did and where he did it. You should DEFINITELY put this on your list of things to do while in the area!

Easily accessible using Google Maps, plenty of free parking including for Handicap accessible Vehicles. The facility was clean and well staffed by friendly employees. Restrooms were available and also clean.There is quite a bit to see, there is a fee for the tour, but for the Jack Daniels fan, it's well worth it. The grounds are very nice and there is a pathway and foot bridge to the adjacent shopping area.If you happen to be A Squire, there is also a visitor building with some great collectibles on display as well as some really nice Squire articles for sale.So, a Jack Daniels fan or just interested in seeing one of the premier Distilleries, in my opinion it's a must visit.

we loved our visit to the Jack Daniels distillery, the guide was excellent and took us through all the stages of whiskey making, in addition to several stories about the life of Jack and the workers who produced this classic whiskey. The tasting room is worth the detour in itself. Take the Jack and Coke Slush or the lemonade, it's worth the price and you can't change your mind and take it at the counter.

We had an absolutely amazing time on the Jack Daniels distillery tour, and it was all thanks to our fantastic guide, Anthony! From start to finish, Anthony made the entire experience unforgettable. His deep knowledge of the distillery's history and the whiskey-making process was impressive, but it was his passion and storytelling that really brought everything to life. He answered every question with enthusiasm and kept us entertained with fascinating anecdotes.The distillery itself is incredibly picturesque, nestled in the charming town of Lynchburg, offering stunning views and a true sense of history. Even if you're not a whiskey drinker (or don't drink at all), this tour is a must! The craftsmanship and tradition behind each bottle are worth learning about, and the rich culture and history of Jack Daniels are something everyone can appreciate. Whether you're a fan of whiskey or just looking for a unique and educational experience, make the time to drive out and visit – you won't regret it! Anthony and the entire team make it a day to remember!

Such a nice place! It’s beautiful out there. About 1:30 from Nashville but it’s a worthy drive. We took “The fligh of Jack” tour and was pretty fun, and educational. Ashley was our tour guide and she is fun, kind and has a lot of knowledge to share. Even though I am not a whiskey drinker, I really recommend coming here.Come during the week or Saturday if you want to enjoy the town of Lynchburg. We came in a Sunday and everything around was pretty much closed.

Had an amazing experience at the Jack Daniel’s Distillery tour! Our guide, Anthony, was fantastic—he’s a great storyteller and kept everything moving with a fun, lighthearted vibe. He was incredibly knowledgeable and did a great job explaining everything during the tasting. The grounds were also beautifully kept, adding to the overall charm of the experience. And don’t miss the Jack and Coke slushy—it’s a must-try! Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting.

Americana. History. Whiskey. Hospitality…. it’s all here at the Jack Daniel’s Distillery and Visitor Center in Franklin. We made an impromptu visit on a Saturday afternoon and were able to get on the Angel’s Share tour without much wait. I do recommend advance purchase for tickets if you’re planning a trip to the area. The main parking lot and runoff parking area, are well-maintained and staffed with plenty of parking for those who need handicapped access. A shuttle is available. The restrooms in the visitor center were extremely clean. Staff at the ticket desk were very hospitable and helped us find the tour that was right for us. It was a warm afternoon and we appreciated the option to purchase a frosty beverage for our walking tour. Our tour guide Lea was knowledgeable and courteous, could be heard very clearly. The ambience for the whiskey flight sampling was comfortable and fun.

Super fun tour even though I'm not a whiskey drinker! Beautiful grounds. Kathy was our tour guide and had such great energy and a witty sense of humor. Lots of cool history. It does involve walking around the grounds and going up and down stairs.

Sean D was our guide for the tour. We enjoyed his humor as well as his information.Hubby felt the tour was long, but that was because some people were slower in their picture taking and held us up a bit longer. Otherwise, the tour was quite informative and enjoyable.We would recommend doing this if you haven't had the liquor as you will learn why each level tastes differently.

What a great and educational experience. The young lady, H.G., was entertaining and informative and was more like a host than a tour guide. The staff inside the visitor center were friendly, helpful, and made you feel appreciated. Even if you are not someone who drinks, I highly recommend visiting the Jack Daniel's Distillery and Visitors Center as well as taking the tour. One last thing, there is onsite security provided by Walden Security. Even their personnel were friendly and approachable. My visit was an all around great experience.

First timer, Angels envy tour is well worth the money. Don’t skip on the Slush of Jack and Coke! I did and was thirsty while walking the tour. Bring comfy shoes as the walk is quite long and beautiful. Justin was our tour guide and amazing, showed me I was drinking whiskey wrong this whole time! Can’t ever go wrong with a good Jack and Coke.Vacation Tips: you can make online reservations but they do take walk ins. We made online reservations but were surprised when we got there earlier they said we could bump up to the next tour so keep that in mind if you’re early.

Awesome place! Our tour guide/Historian - Justin was excellent. He was very informative, funny, knowledgeable, friendly, and a great communicator. I was looking forward to this visit/tour and I was not disappointed. Of course the whiskey tasting towards the end of the tour was great. I also learned a lot about whiskey tasting from Justin during the presentation. I highly recommend the Jack Daniels tours if you are near the Lynchburg, Tennessee area. Thank you again Justin

Great tour full of history and fun! Worth the drive! Hannah Grace was an excellent tour guide… enjoyed her style and spunk! This was my second visit and loved it just as much. Some walking, but beautiful landscape and well shaded. Loved the slushie option - cool and yummy! 👍🏼

My visit to the Jack Daniel's Distillery was truly exceptional, exceeding all my expectations. From the moment we arrived, Anthony, our guide, made sure we felt welcomed and comfortable. His deep knowledge and passion for the distillery were evident from the outset, adding an extra level of authenticity to our visit.Anthony led us through an informative and entertaining tour of the distillery facilities, sharing fascinating details about the history and process of crafting the legendary Jack Daniel's whiskey. His enthusiasm and charisma made every step of the tour exciting and memorable.Overall, our experience at the Jack Daniel's Distillery with Anthony as our guide was nothing short of exceptional. His professionalism, knowledge, and engaging personality truly made the tour unforgettable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to delve into the rich history and exquisite craftsmanship behind one of the world's most iconic whiskeys.

First of all JUSTIN is an awesome guide. Not only because he is knowledgeable but he makes the tour fun for everyone. He had everyone on his tour group laughing from the start.Learning about Jack Daniel’s history. The Relationship/ Partnership between Jasper and Nathan “Nearest” Green was awesome and interesting.It’s about an hour and a half drive from Nashville. (Free Parking on site). The tour itself is 80% outside and it includes going up and down stairs so dress comfortably.If you want the Jack and Coke or Jack and Lemonade Slushy make sure you buy it before going into the tour. (They give you a wristband for you to pick it up while on tour)Justin was really helpful when it came down to the tasting. Gave us tips on how to properly taste whisky.At the end my wife and I bought some bottles and had them laser engraved.Went to visit the Distillery on Wednesday 8/28 sorry for late review.

Jack Daniel's Distillery in Lynchburg, TN is a must-visit for any whiskey lover or history buff. The whole experience, from the minute you set foot on the grounds, is dripping with Southern charm. But what really elevated our tour was our fantastic guide, Matt. Matt wasn't your average tour guide reciting facts in a monotone. He wove tales of Jack Daniel's life and the Lynchburg community with infectious enthusiasm. You could tell he genuinely loved the history and the whiskey, and his passion was contagious. He had the whole group engaged, answering questions with humor and sprinkling in fun facts that brought the place to life. The tour itself was well-organized and informative, taking you through the entire process of making Jack Daniel's – from the cave spring water to the unique charcoal mellowing. But it was Matt's storytelling that really made the difference. By the end of the tour, you almost felt like you knew Jack himself! Whether you're a die-hard Jack Daniel's fan or just curious about the whiskey-making process, I highly recommend a visit to the distillery. And if you're lucky enough to get Matt as your guide, you're in for a real treat!

Took a tour this past Saturday of the distillery and wanted to give our guide, Kayla, mega-kudos for her guidance on the tour. She was enthusiastic about telling us all the relevant information. Her jubilance was refreshing and she either really, really enjoyed her job or did a really great job at faking it. She was charming and witty, delivering laughs throughout the tour. She was a great ambassador of the brand and its heritage.

Visiting the Jack Daniel Distillery was a fun and educational experience. The tour offered a great insight into whiskey making in an engaging way. Conveniently, a bus takes you from the parking area to the distillery center covering downtown of Lynchburg. I recommend booking the tour online in advance for a smoother experience. The tour itself was excellent, with a knowledgeable guide who explained everything really well. The tour ended with a whiskey tasting session, which was a perfect conclusion to a fun day.

This place is AMAZING!! A few years ago I was very fortunate to go here with my son who was able to take part in the summer space camp program. He absolutely loved it and I enjoyed touring the facility. Huntsville is a beautiful city and the people were incredibly friendly no matter where I went during my week there while my son was at Space Camp. I cannot recommend this location enough, if you have a child who loves space, computers, the military or just looking for an exciting summer camp, Space Camp at the U.S Space and Rocket center is the place I recommend. My son will never forget his experience at space camp!!

Our day at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center was an absolute dream! The abundance of free parking made our visit hassle-free. 🚗 The center seamlessly blends fun and learning, engaging us in rocket science, mathematics, aerospace, engineering, and technology through hands-on building activities. 🌌📚 The myriad of benefits exploring the center offers makes it a perfect day of education and exploration. Highly recommend for families seeking a unique and enriching experience! 🚀🌟

We recently spent an afternoon here. It's definitely a very interesting and informative place to be at. There are plenty of things to see and do. From interactive areas, to videos, to hundreds of displays. Whether you're inside, or outside, you really can't go wrong. Our method of touring a place is to simply walk the entire perimeter of any given area. In our experience we've never missed anything. Admission price is extremely reasonable for what you get. Definitely a must do thing if you're in the Huntsville area.

If you are in Huntsville Alabama you need to come to the U.S Space & Rock Center. I loved seeing the Saturn 5 Space ship and they have a airplane simulator. The G Force ride was very fun but can get you dizzy. There is also a really expensive gift shop if your interested.

We enjoyed our day here. Lots to see and do for both young and old. We had been postponing our visit until most of the renovations were complete and the space shuttle was back in place. We were there on a Thursday and really surprised how few visitors there were; but since it wasn't crowded, it allowed us to take our time and look at everything without being rushed. It took us around five hours to see everything we wanted to see and to eat lunch. We skipped all the rides and other things that were geared toward kids, but all of them seemed to be open and working. We enjoyed the Saturn V exhibit building the most. The docents in there are retired from the space center and are very interesting to talk with. Lunch in the cafeteria was expensive, but we both remarked that the chicken tenders and fries were the best we had had in a long time, so we didn't mind paying the high price for food that was good and convenient.

Such an educational, fun museum. There is SO MUCH to see and do. There are so many interactive things for kids and adults to do. There is so much to see, watch, and experience here. We even got to speak with a rocket scientist who has been doing this for 52 years.It's hard to even summarize the experience. Truly, our nations space history spread out. Lots of walking but worth it.The staff is friendly and efficient at answering questions. There are so many restrooms and easy wheelchair access throughout. You could spend a whole day exploring and finding more facts and information. There are outside exhibits and indoor ones. There are tons of picnic tables outside, and there is a cafe with indoor seating as well.Wear your walking shoes and take lots of pictures. It is something your guests will talk about for years to come.

This is a really fun day trip. The facility was clean and well-kept, it wasn't overly crowded, and the employees were all very friendly. I would say expect to spend about 3-4 hours at the center. It was very informative, and if you have time, I wouldn't skip on one of the Planetarium shows. Great place to take kids, space enthusiasts, and visitors of Huntsville.

Overall, it was a really great and fun visit! Make sure that you go into all three buildings. I almost missed what I felt was the best building… The Davidson Center (has the biggest space crafts, which were awesome and amazing to see) because when I got my ticket, they did not tell me that that building was included. Note… You must enter the Davidson center while inside the museum/ go outdoor to rocket park and then to Davidson. I definitely recommend visiting this place. However, They could be doing a much better job with housekeeping and maintenance. The front steps for example the paint is all chipped off. The restrooms inside are very small (and not in good shape) for the amount of people going through. In addition to the Davidson center, the planetarium was my favorite. Awesome views and tours of of Outer space and planets.

We had the best time! My son loves anything space. He was in heaven here. We got to meet an Astronaut and we saw Miss America. This is a vacation my boy will never forget. I highly recommend this place.

This place is amazing for all ages. Just to be able to experience all the creativity, planning, and sacrifice that went into getting a man on the moon during the Apollo V mission. The center has laid out the displays so you can walk through the process from the first vision until the landing on the moon. Definitely worth a visit and make sure you allow at least three to four hours to see everything.

The U.S Space and Rocket Center is not only a great place for all ages, but an experience to remember. There are lots of great exhibits that are extremely informative, and many are interactive. Additionally, there are lots of science presentations and shows for all ages throughout the day, from knowledgeable docents that are willing to answer your questions after the show.Most of the museum is open as of July 2024, but some things are under construction. The U.S Space and Rocket Center is quite accessible for those needing ramps, and there is excellent seating throughout the building(s). Speaking of buildings, the Saturn V hall is more than worth a visit. There are so many amazing hands on exhibits inside the Saturn V hall and great places to get a picture with the rocket outside.The Mars Cafe is a great place to grab a bite, but it’s only open for a short period of time daily, so be sure to keep a close eye on the clock if you want to make it. Another thing you should keep an eye on the clock for is the planetarium shows. My family and I saw the James Webb show and it was fantastic. Although I find it interesting, I’m not as big a space nerd as my daughter, who loved the show and the host, Sam, who was very informative and threw in a few good jokes. The lines for these shows, however, fill up very quickly, so be prepared to get in the queue at the very least 5 or so minutes in advance.There are lots of awesome experiences that you can book online before your visit for your children and for your family. My daughter participated in the Teen Maker Hour, and she had a great time.To conclude my review, I highly recommend the U.S Space and Rocket Center for all ages. It’s a great place to go learn and do activities indoors for a day, and what my daughter had dubbed, “space nerd heaven.” Thank you to all the docents, astronomers and employees working to make the U.S Space and Rocket Center fun, educational, and entertaining.

Fantastic museum! Interactive and fun, I definitely recommend. I've been here twice in the last few years and really enjoy the Saturn V rocket museum. I mean, how amazing what we did in the '60s! If you've not been here before, it's something you can do and roughly 4 hours and see and literally do everything including have food. You can see the whole place in probably 90 minutes if you rush through everything.

I’ve been to Kennedy Space center, Johnson Space center and other smaller exhibits and Huntsville is excellent and a worthwhile stop on a trip.This is one of the NASA triple crown (Kennedy (Florida), Johnson (Houston) and Huntsville all with a Saturn V rocket.This one is incredibly kid friendly—our 2 year old loved it, kids science and discovery areas, play areas outside (covered) and inside the Saturn V building.The exhibit is less impressive than Johnson & Kennedy, but makes up for it with the collection of rocket related equipment, missiles and of course multiple rockets plus a full size Shuttle + boosters. The focus on Warner VonBraun was great given his history and importance was excellent, but not lost on the overall big picture of the space program. One area that was unique was the tremendous number of walk in exhibits/interactive items, making it great for all visitors.The Restaurant is below average, I recommend packing lunch or leaving and returning.Overall this is an awesome place to go/visit and worthwhile whether you are going with young or older children or just visiting on your own.

Hey Ya'll 👋! Our Labor Day excursion on Day 2 of our vacation was out of this world fun!! We stopped at the US SPACE and ROCKET CENTER in Huntsville, Alabama! This place is amazing and great for all ages! They have space camp programs here and certain times of the year, they also have astronauts come and speak and sign autographs. There is so much to see and do here. They have simulators and an intuitive planetarium. There are rockets and the shuttle Pathfinder on display as well as other items from NASA. You really need to make this your next bucket list item!!

Very cool facility with lots of interactive stuff for children and adults to do. The outside grounds as well as inside the buildings are loaded with artifacts and space travel items. Loads of history on this campus. I would recommend family and friends to come here.

A well worth stop. Anna was a great tour guide. She took me on a vivid hour tour with great presentation of the space exploration history. The display was vast and educational. Too bad I only had 2 hours.

The review I gave was because I went with a friend and she had an EBT card. If you show proof of that from any state the entrance is $3 for up to 4 people. Normal entrance is 25-30 per person and I wouldn’t pay for that at this time because it was very hot and because it’s summer it is FULL of summer camp attendees. Parking is small it took a little to find a spot. It’s definitely a nice place to go the weather made it harder because some things are outside and it was very hot. Food was expensive like 15.00 chicken nugget meal but it didn’t taste bad. But it was a bit expensive. Experiences have to be independently paid such as VR, or simulators, and planetarium. It was nice for the price we paid and to see around the area but I wouldn’t have been happy full price. They have outdoor play area for smaller kids but so hot. They do have interactive areas that made it more fun and longer experience. I would definitely come back when summer is over as I believe a lot of things were not open or available due to the amount of people. I recommend and if you can use the discount definitely utilize it, makes a huge difference!

Went here when I was a kid able to take my son. Place hasn’t changed much as far as I can remember as structure and atmosphere. Definitely recommend for the kiddos. Must to stop if in the area.

Went here for a school trip and a family holdiday. The rides they have there are great and the stuff you see can be awesome. The wait to get in and the prices were the worst part. The staff were nice and the place is wheelchair friendly. Overall great time there.

The main museum housed mainly replicas of planes and space vehicles. It was very spread out as well. However the Saturn 5 exhibit was impressive and the outside rocket exhibits were great

Every time we visit here we see something new. I could spend all day in the Saturn V building. It's absolutely amazing to see! The docents are all amazing to talk to and very informative and engaging. Some worked for NASA. I highly recommend this place if you are a space geek like me.

Beautiful venue with a beautiful view of the city! Staff is very helpful. I DJ'd a wedding here on November 2, and I would recommend it to other couples for their weddings!

We visited last month and really enjoyed our time. We arrived after 6pm so the museum was closed. The gentleman at the booth also informed us that the statue was closed for viewing as they were repairing something that had caused water damage. Nonetheless, we took in the views, watched the sunset, all while my daughter ran around the whole place. Overall, it’s a great place to hang out with a unique view of the city!

Wonderful place to visit. The park is beautiful. The views from the peak and the monument are wonderful. The museum is small but very nicely done. I’m so glad we came over.

Very interesting and informative. Great place to learn a little history and the view of Birmingham is simply amazing. It is free to walk around and only $4 to enter the museum.

We went to the museum and got the history of the park and the company itself very educational and all of the display. The best part was walking through the park with my friends exercising afterwards had a fantastic time. It’s a must do a few visit to.

Great park and amazing city views! 🌆🌃The park is well maintained and the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly 😊The views from the tower is great and recommend going before the sunset as you can catch one on top of the tower! 🌅 The trail around the park is great for walking around and soaking in fresh air.There is free parking lot at the entrance.

We arrived at sunset. The park was absolutely stunning. Worth a stop if you’re in town or just passing through. No bathrooms after 6pm though, that’s a big one.

This is a cool part of Birmingham to go and visit. I did not know about the cities Rich history stemming from the iron industry, which is essentially how it was built and why it was built. The Vulcan statue, a great place to see majestic views of the town, and learn about the history of how it came to be. You learn about its creation, the artist who is commissioned to created, and the places the statue graced before settling and its final location. There was also an extensive restoration that you will learn about.

I was in Birmingham for work, somehow found this, glad I did. It's an interesting piece of history and educational information. Cool view of the city and just neat to see in person. I didn’t go to the museum, I had gotten there at closing time-ish, I would try to check it out if I go back.

This place was so beautiful, I even had to donate just to preserve a part of history. From the views of the city to the statue, I was not disappointed! Definitely recommend and tickets are $4 per adult.

This place was really cool!! If you like learning about history then definitely give this place a visit. Or if you just want to see Birmingham from above!

A Cheeky Adventure with a View"If you're venturing into Birmingham and fancy a look at the city from new heights, a visit to Vulcan Park is an absolute must. Just be prepared, because the towering statue of the Roman god Vulcan offers a view that's quite... rear-lit.Sure, most folks come here to soak up the panoramic views of Birmingham's sprawling beauty. And let me tell you, the city looks dazzling from up here. But let’s not skirt around the main attraction that caught my eye and that of a giggling gaggle of elementary school kids: Vulcan's impressively chiseled 'buns of steel'. I haven't seen a wedgie that defined since my high school gym class nightmares.There I was, enjoying the urban vista, when I turned around and—bam!—there it was. Vulcan's posterior, defying the bounds of bronze craftsmanship. It was so meticulously sculpted that I found myself doing a subconscious comfort check on my own posterior. Okay, so I didn't have to turn around - it's the first thing you notice when you park.Now, we didn’t venture up the monument or dive into the historical depths of the museum. Instead, we stayed grounded, chuckling along with the kids on a field trip who summarized the experience better than any brochure could: “Look at that wedgie!”In conclusion, Vulcan Park is a fantastic spot not only for its educational value (honestly, it does explain how Birmingham came into its own thanks to local resources) and breathtaking views but also for its unexpected dose of humor courtesy of a Roman deity’s tight squeeze.Whether you’re a history buff, a fan of great landscapes, or just in the market for a good laugh, Vulcan Park delivers from all angles.So go on, enjoy the view—just be ready for the cheeky bonus.

I was in Birmingham, Alabama on a business trip and I had a little time before my next flight so I decided to take a quick ride to Vulcan Park and Museum. I was not disappointed! Even though it was an overcast day, the views of the city were very nice and I very much enjoyed the walk through the nice park, the informative signs posted along the way and, of course, the imposing statue of Vulcan, the Roman god of metalworking and forging! Inside, I found a museum that was full of good information about the history of this great working city and birthplace of the civil rights movement. I will sure come back with my family so they can experience this unique place in the history of America.

10.12.2024 - I visited this park while in Birmingham. There is no fee to patronize the park, but there is a $6 fee to enter the parks museum and to go to the top of the Vulcan tower. Parking is free.The views of Birmingham are amazing at the park.

Surprised to find this place such a bonus! We wanted to be inside cool air; to be inexpensive; to get great photos; and mostly to entertain my 4 year old grandson. This exhibit scores high on all marks, especially rare with handicap access. Loved it and the Vulcan is like a super-hero to a 4-year-old!

Great place to have a picnic or drink coffee or tea with the family. We didn't go into the museum. Just around it and it was good enough. I will be here again.

My friend got married here on a Sunday in April. The venue provided transportation from the parking lot to the event space. The outdoor event space was overlooking the city, and it was breathtaking!! The employees went above and beyond to make the event memorable. Much love from Houston, TX.

Is it worth it to go to the top of the tower? If you want to see the surroundings from a high point sure. If you aren't afraid of heights or the aluminum grates that creak a little with every step go for ut. If you want to see a better view of the statue unfortunately all you will get a closer view of are Vulcan's cheeks.

Honestly, a great little museum about the history of Birmingham. As a visitor to the city, it was a perfect, bite-sized look into the history and culture. Plus a fun view from Vulcan! It's a pretty park overall.

I enjoyed the views, the $6 ticket to go up really is not that bad considering it’s good all day. I definitely recommend coming back in the evening/sunset. The ticket also gets you into the museum, I didn’t get to go because of a time crunch.

Google Maps took me to this road en route Nashville to Tupelo and it was stunning. The visitor centre is WELL worth a look. Watch the movie and take in all the information about a special part of the world. The Ranger was super friendly too.

Watch the movie! If the staff gives you the opportunity to watch the movie about the history of the Trace, do it. It isn't your run of the mill monotone voice-over with boring still shots. This one is updated and has aerial images that will keep you watching. The facility itself is very clean and the walls are covered with facts and interesting photos. Worth a stop!

Fantastic drive, (444 miles from end to end) and informative, friendly visitors center. Absolutely take the time to watch the 15-minute film that explains what the Natchez Trace actually is. Many stops along the way with historical and scenic significance.One of America's true hidden gems.

We live within 30 miles of there, a great stopping place before hitting the interstate. Bathroom facilities are always clean. A good place to stretch the legs for older folks like myself as well

The Natchez Trace Parkway Visitor Center is a wonderful resource for anyone interested in the history of the roadway. The park rangers are friendly, super knowledgeable and go out of their way to be helpful. Inside is tons of information and displays and even a nice gift shop.

Very informative and interesting visitors center highlighting the different time periods throughout history and how the trace was used by each group. They also have an interesting 15 minute video talking about how the Trace was preserved. The on-staff rangers were quite helpful. There is also a small gift shop with a good selection of items. Worth a stop, especially since there is a gas station right down the road.

Grat people working Friday a.m. Inthusiastic lady met me at door. Got lots of Free information from her.

Nice visitors facility with maps and lots of historical displays. There is also an informational film that plays every so often.

What a wonderful place to go and educate yourself about the Natchez Trace Lots of things to look at lots of things to purchase I stop every time.

Very informative place to stop. Small little gift shop with everything you'd need. Attendees were very nice. Clean and lots of parking.

Another great stop along the Netis trace Parkway at one of the few Natis trace Parkway visitor centers located along the route. This was one of the better stops at a visitor center with all the stamps for your National Park stamp book. The visitor center also has a few stickers and some really nice Natchez Trace pins and hiking medallions for sale inside for all of us that collect that type of things.

Absolutely stunning road to drive. Fall colors and slow easy curves made it relaxing. The 50 MPH speed limit made sense. RV can drive it. Stop into the visitor center, learn the history and key spots along the trail, it over 400 miles so plenty to see

Great Spot to stop and get NPS passport stamp and use old but clean restrooms. There is an optional free movie to watch in air conditioning. A good break from the road or driving tours. Admin building is behind and not intended for visitors.

Beautiful drive for us from Natchez to Tupelo with a side trip to Windsor ruins.

Very nice staff. It is kind of like a small museum. Few exhibits and an interactive part. Very cool.

I drove quite a long way on the parkway this time. They are doing work on it so some areas of it have detours. I have in the past both drove the entire length and walked part of the original trail. The visitor center has good information about the Trace and an excellent movie.

The visitors center is very nice and restrooms were clean. The girl at the desk was very helpful. We enjoyed riding bikes along the parkway!

Loved to look and read and found a paved walking trail in the same parking lot but down in the corner nice walk in the woods

My wife and I had a random Saturday with no kids and decided to trice the Trace. We started in Nashville and drove all the way to visitors center in Tupelo. We went inside and were greeted by Deborah who was the park guide on duty. She informed us that there was a short video we could watch if we were interested and to let her know if we had any questions.After walking around a bit and looking at the displays I decided to ask her a question regarding the Tennessee river crossing. We talked through a few thoughts but she admitted that she didn’t actually know the answer. She asked if she could have my email address and that she would do some research and let me know.A few days later I received a follow up email from Deborah just like she promised. The Natchez Trace is one of the most impactful and beautiful sights I’ve seen and I’m so grateful that it’s being protected and shared by people like Deborah.I highly recommend making the trip out to the Trace and make sure you stop into the visitor center. And remember, as Deborah reminded me, there are no dumb questions.

Visitor center had a lot of information about the history of the parkway. Maps and brochures available, no entry fee. The big maps of the parkway, broken down into north, central, and south were very helpful.

Great interaction with the audience. Many genres of music. Very enjoyable. It's amazing to realize all the family can play so many different instruments. We especially loved Catherine's performance with the harp. My husband loved the unusual tap dancing from the brothers.

Did a last-minute weekend trip to Branson and was looking for a music-focused show to attend. Saw on trip advisor it’s the best and we could see why! So much fun and everyone is clearly very talented. Loved the variety of instruments and the energy and the family stories! Beautiful night and wonderful experience. Highly recommend and I’ll definitely be going back again!

This was our first time seeing and hearing the Haywood’s and we were beyond impressed! The family unity as well as the many gifts and talents each member of the Haywood family has is incredible. The whole experience included us singing, clapping along and tearing up with pride as the whole audience stood when God Bless America was sung. This family show brings everyone even closer as they share their humble history which still is evident today .

I really loved the wide variety of songs/performances that the Haygoods provided. They had different genres of music as well as extreme tap dancing and the humorous entertainment was a great way to keep the crowd involved too! Our kids are ages 17 through 5. My daughter loved the Frozen songs Catherine played on the harp! We could hear several girls singing along where we were sitting in the crowd.I truly appreciate them offering a family friendly option for entertainment. We try to help our kids experience the world in way that is morally right and we are thankful that this family has that same objective with their show. The meet and greet afterwards was very generous and we all loved it! That's a top notch way to make the fans feel a very personal experience!

What a fun experience! I went to see The Haygoods with my wife, two teen daughters and my 79 year old mother who was visiting from England. It was so much fun. The energy level has to be experienced to be believed, and there was something for everyone - country, rock and roll, pop, movie themes and more. There were lasers, pyrotechnics, environmental projection, LED suites, drones and even tap dancing upside down! As my almost octogenarian, classically trained musician Mom put it "this is the craziest thing I've ever seen, and I'm loving every minute of it" I have no doubt you will too! 5 stars. Outstanding. Go and see it for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

Such good, and positive energy. Real talent and respect for God and love of country. Best show on this trip by far. It didn't feel rehearsed, it felt enjoyed. You can tell they love what they do

Teenagers loved the show!! We went as a family, 7 of us in all. The show is action packed, family friendly. Quality sound for the young one with very sensitive ears. I saw all ages clapping along, laughing, and having a good time. Would go again!

We heard that they were amazing…and they ARE! Pure entertainment from the first minute. We are from Vegas, and this definitely COULD be a Vegas show, 100%. This family’s voices blend beautifully, and the music they play is perfection. Add in the professional dancing and moving they do on the stage, and it made for a night that we didn’t want to end! There is a reason that they are sold out on a regular basis. We will come again, and are already looking forward to it!

This show is great! The whole family is so talented, the amount of instruments played is amazing. Special effects are awesome! Would definitely go again

When you see The Haygoods number one show in Branson, it’s the honest truth! I strongly suggest it is the Best! It’s a show for the whole family. From beginning to end you are having an awesome time. Didn’t take lots of picture, because you don’t want to miss anything! If you don’t get pictures, I suggest you buy the DVD, and I suggest the DVD if you get pictures!

Honestly this was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to! I really enjoyed the family friendly environment, the technology used during the show, the talent of the performers, and the helpfulness of the ushers. Everyone was very friendly. I also liked how the performers were available to meet after the show. I thought the prices were very reasonable, for tickets and for merchandise. I also liked how a dvd copy was available of the performance that night. I liked how interactive the performers were with the audience. I also liked how they were able to share their story throughout the show. I would go back. It was amazing.

The Haygoods! Wow, what a show!! Very entertaining to watch. They constantly mix things up and prove why they are voted a #1 show in Branson. Parking was very organized. The show we went to was almost sold out. They do a terrific job keeping it organized. Well worth your hard earned dollars! Highly recommend!

100 out of 10!!! Such an amazing family show! Wonderful, musically gifted family that knows how to put on a show! From kids to great grandparents will enjoy the energy and songs in this show. This was our 2nd time and we were blown away. We are still talking about it. It’s a must see in Branson for sure! Can’t wait to see the Christmas show!

This show was beyond amazing. The talent and family love they shared with us all was incredible. They do way more audience participation than I’ve ever experienced in any other show. We will definitely be back.- Tami and Caleb Lee ❤️

OMG, what a wonderful show. There is absolutely no question in my mind why this show has sold out every time for 2024. This family does an amazing job and the special effects are so of the BEST I have ever seen. I am soooo happy friends at our church told us that this is a must see while in Branson. I can completely see why this show is labeled Branson's most popular show.

We had been told that this was a spectacular show and we weren't disappointed!! The quality of the music and special effects were both first class and couldn't be faulted. We thoroughly recommend this show as a must see.

Extraordinarily talented family of four boys and one girl as I recall, plus one drummer outside the family, although the girl does play some drums. They each seem to play multiple instruments, plus dancing, and have been doing this show for 34 years, probably started as youngsters since they are fairly young still. They have added laser effects this year with quite impressive results and had a drone show at the end which was really fun. I accidentally had my camera up because they allow videoing and pictures, and had it on portrait mode accidentally. I found myself smiling through most of the show. It ends with a bang and I would recommend it to anyone!

My wife, I and four grandsons attended the Haygoods performance on Saturday, October 19. It was spectacular! We purchased tickets late not knowing if our grandsons would be there and ended up in the last row. At intermission they posted a cell phone number and asked people where they were from and how they were enjoying the show. I responded that although we were enjoying the show we were a little disengaged way back there. I got an immediate response and was asked if we’d like to move up into some seats that were apparently no shows (this was a sold out show). I responded sure and a little while later we were escorted down much closer. We are from N.E. Wyoming and don’t get out this way very often. This made the rest of the show extra special and all of us totally appreciated it! It totally surprised us that we would get that type of response. They are so talented vocally and instrumentally. They put on a great show for all ages! Standout performances for us includes the harp solo by Catherine, the tap dancing in homemade tap dancing boots; some of the brothers flying through the air, playing guitars upside down and one of them dressed as a robot singing and flying through the air. Our grandkids were loving that part. They sprinkle in some comedy and family history as well.

A great, fun, sold out show!! This was a fantastic show full of great contemporary music played by very accomplished musicians. I loved hearing about how their childhood affected their love of music. The special lighting and drones were pretty cool too!!

We enjoyed the whole show. My husband especially liked the harp. We loved hearing your stories and the harmonies were wonderful, I love tap dancing, the whole show was great. Oh and the bantering back and forth comedy was fun as well.

A great night out for everyone! It is a stunning set of music accompanied by laser lights and fake fog and plumes of flame. Watch out for the beach balled that bounce around! Might be a little loud for some folks but the high energy and musical dexterity leave nothing on the table. This show takes the cake!

The show is absolutely fantastic! The whole family is very talented and have been doing it most of their life. We are taking guest back in the fall and will be going to their show again.Here's a tip. If you have vouchers for your tickets. Go to the box office of the show as soon as you get to Branson and trade them for real tickets. You will get much better since that way.

My family and I attended a show in April 2024. Our first time in Branson, and first time seeing the Haygoods. We all loved the show! They had a variety of music styles from Country, to classic 80's, to movie tunes, and even a couple hymns, which I really loved. They had great harmony, used lights, sounds, audio-visual effects, pyrotechnics, many different instruments, a unique style of tap dancing, and just all-around clean fun! After the show, we stayed to meet and greet the performers and get autographs. They were delightful to talk with. We will definitely see them again.

What a talented group! From the vocals and instrumentals to the light show and pyrotechnics, their energy is amazing. I love that they engage with the crowd, too. It's hard to believe that these siblings have kept it going for 32 years! I know their parents are proud!

Haygoods put on a good show. Very talented instrumentalists. The singing is nice. The show is heavy on light show theatrics, projection screens, pyrotechnics, and even some gravity defying performances on wired cables.

Haygoods went directly to the TOP of my BEST shows/concerts!!!“WOW!!! OUTSTANDING! The BEST show/concert I’ve ever seen!!!”These were my words after the finale of the Haygoods show in Branson, MO. People I traveled with echoed the same sentiments. The wonderful musicality, harmonies, & overall ENTERTAINMENT was delightful, unexpected, & unforgettable! I won’t disclose specifics (there are too many moments anyway). If you go to Branson, attending a Haygoods performance is a MUST!!!

We really enjoyed this attraction. I guess it is a little morbid, but at least they are not forgotten. It took us two hours to go through the museum. We just heard that Dolly Parton has just purchased the museum. So it looks like it’s going to stay around a while. There are many fascinating displays to look at.

This may be a lengthy review but I will try to keep it short.If you’ve never been, it is a MUST do, if in Branson.With that said, I had a very eerie and unexpected experience.Upon entering I had a very uneasy feeling and nearly backed out. The two ladies in the lobby were so sweet and helpful that I decided to go ahead with the tour.During my tour I continued to experience weird things like voices ( which I thought came from the device they give you) every time I held it to my ear I couldn’t hear anything. I didn’t give much thought to this at the time.I also experienced extreme emotions, bringing me to tears at times. A degree of this is expected, I would think, but it was so extreme that I would have to walk out of the room I was in. This didn’t happen in every room, only certain ones.While there I didn’t give much thought to what it was or could be. I just thought it was strange. I was so emotional when I exited the museum that I was unable to get in my vehicle and leave. Instead, I found a bench out front and sat for some time, to gather my thoughts and calm down.I arrived around 4:30 pm, so by the time I exited it was nearly 8:00 pm. I was alone most of the tour and while I was outside.I decided to head back to my hotel and upload my photos to fb. That is when I found the below photos ( the blurry ones). What is strange about these photos is the exposure because while inside the ship, while taking these exact photos. I held my phone out and took them so that I could make sure to get the shots I wanted and I wanted to make sure they turned out. They did… while inside the ship. However, when it came time to upload the photos were awful.I felt this was very odd and when I called my daughter later the next day. I made mention of this when telling her about my tour. That is when she informed me that she watched an episode of Ghost Adventures about this very museum. She was convinced that what I experienced was ghosts. This thought never crossed my mind until I watched the episode of ghost hunters yesterday and discovered the very rooms that I had the experiences in and took the photos in, are the rooms featured on the show!I am now a believer and can’t wait to go back so that I might pay more attention.I would return regardless… it’s worth every penny. The amount of relics, stories, and photos are so amazing! Don’t miss out!

I have always loved the history of Titanic, not the ending. 😞 We did really enjoy the tour. Seeing artifacts from the Titanic, learning more about the passengers and crew, we learned a lot. The staff was very involved, efficient, loved to talk about the Titanic. I would recommend you take the tour. You cannot take photos on the 1st floor, but you can on the 2nd floor. Lots of parking available. We bought our tickets at the desk.

Great place to visit. Take your time, read many things, learn the history. Appreciate the artifacts and stories. Respect and honor lives lost.We took our time, listened to all audios, read a lot of captions. Took 2.5 hours total. You could do it in a lot less if you don't care to read the history and listen to all audios. But I implore you to read a lot. Listen to everything.Honor those lost and understand the many safety requirements we now expect due to these lives lost.One negative note - we really do not care about the value of the artifacts. To us they are all priceless.

Great experience especially if you're a history buff or are just interested in neat facts about the Titanic. Lots of information about the history of the Titanic from the stages of it's build through a history of it's passengers. Your boarding pass will correspond to one of the passengers and the staff will be able to give you a little history on them while you're waiting in line. Staff was very friendly and informative and none hesitated to answer questions about the venue or about the Titanic. They all seemed very knowledgeable about the ship and her passengers. Can't sing their praises enough! Venue is LEO friendly.

If you haven't been to the Titanic Museum, make time for it when passing through Branson!! Super clean, helpful & friendly staff. I was in awe of everything! The replica inside is amazing! I loved the entire experience!

Very detailed, thorough and thoughtful.I loved the variety of objects, memorabilia and photos. It walked you through many fascinating facets of the ship, crew, and passengers. I want to go again!!

Really neat experience. Tons of information on the titanic and it's passengers and crew. It was neat following your passenger through to discover if they survived and other details.I did not like the self guided device. In theory it's a great idea but when you aren't listening to yours- your hearing others.

Must do. Well organized and lots of things to see. The only bad thing was a bathroom by the gift shop, so plan for that. Good for all ages and plenty to do. Check for discount on line prior to going to save money.

The Titanic Museum was so informative and easy to follow. There's a lot of interactive exhibits as well! Definitely touch the iceberg wall and the water temperature bucket. When you arrive they assign you a passenger to follow along with!

So much information. I could've spent all day there, but we were limited on time. To actually get to feel exactly how cold the water was that night was very eye-opening. Very interactive go at your own pace tour.

I would say save your money,. I completed the museum in an hour!!I do think the entry fee is overpriced. They do not allow taking pictures on first floor and taking videos on any floorThe museum overall was ok, with some artifacts and old pictures. I did like the staircase replica and the window upstairs

I visited the Titanic museum with a Party of 4 at 130 on a Saturday. It was really crowded. Tickets were $34 a piece. I bought mine in advance and We arrived 5minutes late and waited in line for about 10min. There were a lot of ppl. I did feel I needed to move quickly as to make room for others to view. I loved their concept in respects to making us feel like we passengers on the ship. My only con was picking a 130 Saturday afternoon appointment. I enjoyed it

This was far better than just a museum. They have people walking around giving inside scoop of the activities on the ship. I met the gambler who was interesting, to say the least. Each person gets a recorder that tells you about different areas. One for adults and one for kids. Everyone I ran into was having a blast walking at their own pace. I almost forgot you get a ticket of a person that was aboard the ship. Mine was in second class, and at the end, I found out my character didn't survive.

It's not like any museum I've ever visited. They assigned us each a character of an actual person who was on the Titanic. They assign you tasks that involved your character/passenger who was aboard the ship. So you learn history in the funnest fashion. Highly recommend!

**First timer review**Absolutely amazing experience. 10/10. Definitely recommended. Even before you walk in the door you’re given a boarding pass with the story of a real passenger. Learning about the smaller stories really brings more perspective into the picture. Even if you’re not into history, I’d still stop by and get some culture in your life.

A wonderful and educational experience! I absolutely loved seeing all the artifacts and photos. Being able to feel how cold the water was and stand in the deck as it tipped was enlightening. The workers were all so kind and knowledgeable! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who has not been.

Incredible museum that was very interactive and educational. We each received a boarding pass with a real passengers name and story, and at the end you learn their fate. Different hallways were designed to reflect 1st, 2nd, and 3rd class, as well as guest rooms. Artifacts included real life jacket, blanket that was used on row boat, wedding ring/watch, dinnerware and menus from each class, etc. Museum was well worth the money!

The tickets are pricey. The experience was good. With the price of $15 it would be fair.When we were at the room with the musicians portraits, the nice worker was kind enough to play grand piano for us, it made it all worth it. So beautiful! Thank you! 🎹🎶

Pretty cool, we went here in 2021 and enjoyed it so much we came back. It’s just kinda disappointing you can’t take photos. I took as many as I could upstairs. It’s cool how you can feel how cold the water was and feel the iceberg. We enjoyed it though and I like how you can get a boarding pass to see who you were. I survived!

This was a nice experience. This is definitely the place to go if you wanna beat the heat for $78 dollars (for two people) and not get wet. It was sad, beautiful, informative, and relaxing.I enjoyed my time here. I didn't want to post anymore photos, because it will take away from the experience.

This was a fun experience for us. We spent around two hours in here. There is absolutely no reason to rush yourself while going through the exhibit. I really can't add to others describing the walk through. I will say, however, that it's not overpriced, as some have complained. If you'll spend $100 to see a concert, or $175 for a seat at a baseball game, around $39 is cheap for this visit. I'm sure that this place isn't cheap to maintain, either. Plan on spending a lot of time in the gift shop, though. You're sure to find more than one thing to take home. In fact, we made a second trip back to the gift shop the following day to get more things. They even have lamps for sale, near the exit, resembling the lamps that were in the First Class cabins on the Titanic. We grabbed one on our second trip to the gift shop (somehow we didn't see them the first time). Don't miss getting one of these if you can.

Nice detail and amazing artifacts. The staff were extremely knowledgeable and helpful with all questions we had. Quite moving to see the extent of drowning victims versus survivors. Next time I come to Branson, I will actually go through this museum again.

Such a beautiful place. The only thing wrong with our visit was it was a very hot day. We took the tram ride and it was worth the extra cost. There are a variety of things to do like horseback riding, biking, fishing and hiking. Easy to spend an entire day. They have a great gift shop and restaurant if you are wanting something to eat or drink.

Dogwood Canyon is absolutely stunning with all the beautiful fall colors, scenery , trails and rich history. We walked around for a couple of hours prior to our tram ride and we must say we will be back !Joe was our tram guide and his wealth of knowledge and obvious love of the Dogwood Canyons was evident as he shared the incredible history of Johnny Morris’ vision and findings during the development of Dogwood Canyon.It is not only rich in history , wildlife and beauty giving photographers of all levels a delight, but it also provides family fun with its many walking trails, streams filled with rainbow trout and respect for God’s creation.

Beautiful. Must see. Tram tour was amazing and worth every penny. Totally relaxing. The scenery was breath taking. Our guide was great. Enjoyed the museum and gift shop as well. We wanted to eat at the restaurant, but it closed super early. I enjoyed this the most of everything we did in Branson.

Exceeded expectations. We took the tram tour which was expensive and the grounds were expansive. Covered about 7 miles in 2 hours. Our guide did a great job taking it slow and giving us time for pictures, questions, etc. He spoke clearly and we thought the sound system on the tram was excellent. Could hear everything he said loud and clear. The wildlife viewing was an added bonus as were the treehouse, displays, etc. We had lunch on the patio looking out at the waterfall. Pricey but decent. I understand you can rent bikes for $16/day. The park admission is not cheap though.

We were there last week. Absolutely gorgeous! The nature trails are well maintained. Loved the paved walk as well. Took the tram ride with Debbie, and we just loved her! Definitely purchase tram ride tickets before you go. It's very popular and they sell out in advance. There were lots of well-behaved, leashed pups. For as busy as it was, we didn't really notice the crowd as everyone was pretty well spaced out across the grounds. We were able to enjoy the peace and quiet, so unlike theme park crowds. The employees were so nice and helpful. We enjoyed it so much, we visited twice!

The grounds were immaculate with stunning scenery. We did a tram tour with James as our guide, we could not have had a better guide!!! After our tram ride we hiked, fished, and ate at the restaurant, the food at the restaurant was excellent and the cold draft beer hit the spot to finish our day at Dogwood Canyon.

Dogwood Canyon Nature Park is a must see! We visiting on a cool overcast morning in July for an 8am tram ride. Our guide Angela was awesome, very friendly and knowledgeable! There are numerous water falls along the tram ride with tons of opportunities for photos. We lucked out during ride through the elk and bison area. All of them were near the path and even blocked the roadway for a while! It was great to see the wildlife up close and personal! The history and artifacts that the park showcases is quite amazing. This park is non profit so everything goes right back to preserving the magic of the park. We encountered lots of employees throughout the ride and all were very friendly! Definitely recommend visiting if you are in the area!

We absolutely loved Dogwood Canyon, it was such a beautiful place! We took the tram tour with our 5 year old. I highly recommend touring the park this way especially if it’s your first time. It was a 2 hour tour with a few quick stops long the way. Angela was a wonderful guide, she was friendly and funny. Make sure to book the tram a few days in advance.

Had a lovely visit. Definitely pre-book the tram and/or horseback rides before your visit so the tickets aren’t sold out. Everything was sold out for the day by the time we arrived and we didn’t go during peak season. We ended up renting bikes, which was a great way to see it all.

A peaceful place to escape to. The grandkids enjoyed exploring the museum, the playground, and feeding the fish at the waterfall. There wasn’t a lot of people, so you can get some good pictures. The tram ride extended the views along the creek which brought us to see the buffalo and elk roaming freely along the park. We still haven’t been able to dine indoors due to long waits, however, the outdoor restaurant was very friendly and we didn’t have to wait too long for our food. We’ve visited a couple of times and will return to see the dogwoods in bloom.

Dogwood Canyon Nature Park is a delightful outdoor experience. Besides the beautiful natural landscape of this area of Missouri, there are several fabricated waterfalls and other water features.The tram ride was worth it. There are paved pathways throughout the park, which is great for bicycle riding and walking. There are also unpaved hiking trails.As with other Johnny Morris Foundation projects, no shortcuts were taken to provide a quality outdoor experience.Dogwood Canyon is worth adding to your itinerary when visiting the Branson area.

Highly recommend taking some time to do this absolutely gorgeous. We did the tram tour. It's about 2 hours great information several stops two states the Bison the elk, the scenery conservation at its best of nature. I did not take as many pictures as my husband did that I did get the bald eagle that landed as we were on our way out

I definitely recommend the tram tour. I especially enjoyed all the knowledge that tour guide Joe shared about the multiple skeletal remains found in the caves. It was a thrill to see the elk, longhorns, and bison (especially the white bison) on the premises.Plan to spend a few hours, or like me, 2 entire days. There are hiking trails, bring your own bike or rent one there, horseback, fishing,etc. Some activities are pricey. But they go to help further the conservation efforts. Peaceful and beautiful nature park!

It is a wonderful place to go whether you want to get some exercise biking or hiking or relax and take the tram ride around the park. The scenery is beautiful! The grounds people were friendly and informative as well as very helpful if you had an issue. We saw many people with various physical handicaps and their needs were being met and they all seemed to be having a great time. Wonderful place for the family!

Beautiful park! We walked the trail and saw a lot of beautiful waterfalls. You also cross the state line into Arkansas. And we got to see a wild beaver. So beautiful.

Awesome experience. Be aware if you are wanting to take the tram experience, it may be booked up. Was told October is the busiest time and all trams were booked up when I was there.Hiked it all and believe that's the way to go. Can take it at your own pace, stop, enjoy, take photos, listen to the waterfalls!

This is a very special place in so many ways. We took the tram ride around the property & saw a herd of bison and a herd of elk, along with too many fat trout in the clear water to count. Our guide, Barry, made the trip memorable and really fun for everyone. The beauty of the many waterfalls and geology was explained where young and old were entertained while learning.Hiking & biking trails are maintained and not to be missed. 🐕 Friendly too.The restaurant overlooks one of the falls and the food was delish.Highly recommended!

If you want to experience the natural beauty of the Ozarks, this is it!! They offered transportation for individuals with disabilities. My family and I did the 2 hr tram ride. Angela, our tour guide was energetic and passionate. I learned so much during this presentation. The grounds are immaculately kept! The gift shop has many many items to choose from such as wind chimes, sweat shirts, ornaments, bison summer sausage, bracelets, blankets, and so much more. I left my heart here at Dogwood Canyon Nature Park. ❤️

Awesome outdoor space. If you visit there is plenty to do. The kids loved hiking around and the tree house. Did not get a chance to do the tram ride but still made the best of it. Cell service was not great but I had saved my ticket on my phone so I recommend you do that so you won’t need service. Very beautiful place.

I'm always impressed with Dogwood Canyon Nature Park! As a photographer I love photographing weddings, and families at this beautiful park! Today, a park Ranger, Ray took such great care of me and my clients today! I photographed a proposal and they helped me make the moment perfect! James the tram driver is amazing as well! The wedding coordinators are so helpful, kind, and knowledgeable too! I can't say enough great things about this park and the people who work there!

Dogwood Canyon Nature Park and educational center is amazing. The paved paths, the waterfalls, the tree house, the grill, and even the gift shop have incredible attention to detail.We thoroughly enjoyed meandering down the 3.2 mile paved path while appreciating the preservation of both the nature and history surrounding us. On the return trip we took Pine Ridge Pass.Caveat: DO NOT waste your time on Pine Ridge Pass. It is 270ft up and then 270ft down on a loose rock path. My husband and I are early 30’s, hike often, and were wearing appropriate hiking boots and the trail was still treacherous.Aside from that, totally lovely, totally worth the cost.If a few bucks will make the difference, consider buying in person rather than online.The website says buying online will save $ then charges a $3 “convenience fee”.Needless to say, it was less expensive for us to buy in person.

Me and my boyfriend’s family got to experience this wonderful ride with Joe! He was an amazing tram guide. Very friendly and funny! We were greatful that we got to have him! He kept everything very interesting and answered all questions with great information! He helped everyone board on, and even let us take our time to look around when we were on a time crunch! If you go to dogwood canyon you won’t be disappointed, as long as you have Joe!

It’s an incredible place to visit! It’s a sanctuary dedicated to rescuing and caring for big cats and other wildlife, and you can tell they’re truly committed to animal welfare. Walking through the refuge, you get to see majestic tigers, lions, bears, and other rescued animals up close in spacious enclosures that mimic their natural habitats. The staff is knowledgeable and passionate, sharing stories of the animals’ backgrounds and the refuge’s mission. It’s a beautiful and inspiring experience, perfect for animal lovers looking to support a great cause.

What an amazing place with an incredible mission. Be sure to book a tour in advance, though we were able to call and reschedule ours a few hours later on the same day just fine due to a sudden conflict. On the tour, they will tell you all about the animals that they rescue, their background, personality, and more. Some of the big cats have a very sad story and it’s amazing that this sanctuary rescued them and gave them a second life here.During a tour, some animals will simply be resting away from your view area and you might not see them, but that is normal just like any zoo. Several big cats like to come walk up close as well. They are all behind massive fences, so there is no danger of them getting too close. Our tour was an absolutely incredible experience.They also have an amazing gift shop with a plethora of gifts and souvenirs. It’s another great way to support their cause and we purchased a few items there as well.

We had a spur of the moment trip there Saturday and we had a blast!!!! Bathrooms and grounds were clean staff was very very nice had a great time on the self tour and on the tram with the tour guide! Overall it was a wonderful place to visit with family. We really enjoyed and plan to be back to do more in depth tours 🙂

We had a great time at Turpentine Creek. We spent the night in one of their glamping tents. It was a nice and comfortable accommodation. Be warned it can be loud. There was a heavy rain in the night that woke us up, then after the rain we were awoken again by the lions....which was amazing. They talk so much overnight and staying there you get to experience that. As an overnight guest you also get to walk around the outside of some of the cages while the rest of the park is closed, so you can spend time near the tigers at night. Everything about this place was great. And you can tell they care about their animals and are there for the right reasons. Highly recommend.Eureka Springs was also better than I expected. A little touristy city in the mountains, we found multiple places we could eat. Pleasantly surprised

I can not say enough good things about this amazing establishment!!!All the animals are very well taken care of and have various kinds of stimulation.The tram ride provides some really awesome views of the cats and lots of really good knowledge!The staff were bar none and offered to answer all the questions we had! This non profit is a 10 out of 10 would recommend!!

This place is amazing! The information you are given is highly educational for the preservation of such beautiful animals. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the animals that were out.As with all wild animals they are unpredictable and we are just happy we got to see as many as we did.Thank you to the staff here for running such a clean and awesome facility giving these animals a true sanctuary to spend the rest of their lives.We will be back to visit and bring friends!

I have always been fascinated with tigers. Hurt to hear the sad stories behind the beginning of these animals lives. Yet to know this place took them in and have had a few since birth touching. Keep up the great work

I ❤️ this place. I visited Turpentine Creek for the first time about 15 years ago and was hooked. I have now been going about twice a year since then. I stay in the (adult only) safari cabins. To hear the majestic roars of the lions throughout the night is an amazing experience. All the rescued animals have a story, some very heartbreaking, but their stories need to be told. They have a great campsite, hot tub, fire pit and private decks overlooking the Ozarks. The gifts shop is not lacking for variety. The tours and caregivers are very informative. I learn something new everything I go. I can't say enough about this place. An overnight stay is a MUST!!

Took the tram tour around the facility before walking down the bear tunnel and seeing all the beautiful big cats and the bears. The tour guide was wonderful and very passionate about the rescue and treatment of these animals and it was nice to see how much of an effort this facility makes to make all the animals here as happy as they can. They have some super cool merch in the gift store as well. Wonderful place.

Thoroughly enjoyed my time here at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge. Got to see some big cats such as lions, tigers, cougars, and more. Plus, there is a grizzly bear. The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly to our entire group!

If you are in the area, stop by. The staff is extremely nice and knowledgeable. While the power was out when I arrived, they had the honor system of paying on your way out. While waiting for the tram tour to start, there are a few enclosures to check out with big cats and a bear. It was still and quiet and you could hear this rumbling that vibrated the ground. Turns out it was a lion chuffing from far away but to still be able to hear and feel it was amazing. The tour is a great length with plenty of stops, facts and photo/video opportunities. There is a lot of care and work put into the care of these great cats. Would love to return and stay at one of the cabins.

Wonderful non-profit big cat rescue in Eureka Springs. They have a 45 min tram tour, wildlife talk, self guided walk to see the animals, along with a gift shop and small outdoor food stand and benches throughout with shade. This is a no contact sanctuary and you can tell they truly care for and help these animals. They have a bigger area below called Rescue Ridge that has acres and acres of fenced areas for the big cats to roam and relax in the quiet, away from the people and noise. They also have a on site vet center, which is great. Pricing is high, it is not a huge place like a zoo, but the regular adult price is $32! But they do have military, senior, and child pricing. They also have cabins and camping sites along with a tree house to stay overnight on site. I love all the info boards and stories they tell about cats and rescues. It's a very cool place to check out!

This place was amazing. We took our two young grandchildren 1 and 2. They lived seeing the cats and bears. We could tell how passionate all the care takes were about the lives of every animal there! I would highly recommend all to visit and support this place!!! While on the tour the guide was very knowledgeable and made sure that the kids could see and we could get nice pictures of these beautiful animals! The animals pasts are very sad but with the best outcome possible thanks to Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge!!!

Absolutely fabulous mission. They treat their locals amazing and the visitors wonderful. The mission to respect the cats after trauma and diligence in deciding how to build their recovery/forever home based on their personality and unique trauma repair each needs. It is amazing how much they do. The trip tells the unique story of many of the rescues as we view them. We went on the hottest of August noon and they were all in hiding.but we did spy many, still, and very much enjoyed our experience. We spent an hour more than we meant to to join the tour we didn't think we would do and my moody teen found it worthwhile. We then found the Twisted Taco because So Good was closed for the day. What a lovely day! Thanks Turpentine! We'll be back.

Great wildlife preserve with many beautiful animals on a huge property. The caretakers truly have the best interests of the animals in mind and the facility is GFAS (Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries) certified, meaning there is no breeding, selling, petting, or any other interaction of people and animals on the property. The glamping tents are very comfortable and are so close to the animals you can hear them caroling with each other during the night. Definitely recommend and I will visit again if I'm ever back in Eureka Springs.

This place is my new heaven. Waking up and seeing the Tigers from my bed was the best. The staff were super friendly. I highly recommend staying here and visiting. They are growing and the animals are so happy & safe. 10+stars.

Decided to make tour reservations for Turpentine Creek as part of the trip my partner and I took last weekend to Eureka Springs. Though initially concerned whether a 9am tour for $30 each was how I wanted to spend my vacation weekend, it turned out to be the highlight of our trip! We enjoyed a guided trip around the refuge on their trolley, narrated by a wonderful woman whose passion for the big cats shined through in all the beautiful stories about each animal - including their heartbreaking pasts, eventual rescue, and the kind of personalities and fun the cats have now that they are safe. All of the staff clearly cares deeply about the well-being of these animals, going so far as to point out common red flags for folk to recognize at other so-called "refuges". All in all, it was a inspiring and fascinating experience that I'd suggest for any nature-lovers passing through Eureka Springs!

This place was such a delightful surprise! We had no idea it existed and as avid animal lovers we are so grateful for the work they do! We did the basic open shuttle tour and it was so thrilling to see the big cats and hear their stories! It's a must see!!!

It is beautiful here and I love that the money goes to help these fluffy guys, but it is 30 a pop so a group of four of us 120 bucks for a 40 minute tour, which wouldn't be bad if we were able to enjoy the cats more...this tour is depressing and not for kids, they are going to tell you in detail how each cat was neglected previously, they will stop at empty cages, when the cats make noises they will keep talking over the noises, not very many animal facts or talk about how their lives have improved since coming here. Bathrooms were clean, gift shop staff was friendly! I'd like to suggest signs for tigers history for those who want to know the horrors of tiger breeding and neglect cause it is important to the sanctuary, maybe just try to lighten it up a little and remember to take pauses for guests to enjoy the animals in their newer hopefully happier habitats.

I’d recommend not going at the hottest part of the day or not even during summer months. Only one animal was viewable in the walk thru discovery area and maybe half were out during the ride along tram part. Many were sleeping or hiding. Overall, nice experience. The guides were knowledgeable and the animals looked well cared for.

This was the absolute highlight of my Eureka Springs trip. I’ve never visited a place with big cats before because I don’t think a lot of them have the animal’s best interest in mind and were mostly looking to line their pockets, but this place is amazing because they rescue animals from bad situations to give them a better life, and not to mention they are non-profit. I will definitely return in the future. We had a wonderful time learning about all the animals and spent a while walking around after the tram tour and got to see/hear a lion caroling. So cool. I highly recommend supporting this place on their endeavors.

Wonderfully clean, thoughtful and caring refuge facility for big cats and other exotic animals. I love that the animals are purposely free of human interference (as much as possible anyhow being a refuge facility). The animals are all healthy and active. Great family stop while in the Eureka Springs area

This was our first time visiting Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge. While I had know about it since it started operation over 30 years ago, I had never really known what it was all about. I guess I had assumed that it was more or less just another "safari park" attraction. That is far from the truth.TCWR is a non-profit, true sanctuary for big cats. They have rescued over 500 animals from private owners, roadside zoos, and situations of abuse and neglect. And that is just the beginning. They provide these animals with a lifelong home and care, rehabilitating them physically and mentally in a life of sanctuary. To hear some of the stories of the conditions these animals came from and the shape they were in is heartbreaking. To see the care that is given to them and their rehabilitation is heartwarming. This is an organization worth supporting.The cats (as well as two black bears, and one grizzly bear) are allowed to live their best life as naturally as possible. They are never forced to be "on display" for visitors. Therefore, some may be in their nighthouses or other places out of view at times.PRO TIP: The animals will usually be more active in the morning (especially during warmer weather) so plan to visit when they first open at 9:00 AM. Also, buying your ticket online (even from the parking lot) will save you a few bucks.

The drive to this chapel is so beautiful but not as stunning as the chapel itself. It’s a very beautiful and magical chapel. The architecture is like nothing you’ve seen. I saw pictures and had to go in person. They have service on Sundays. There is plenty of parking. The nice lady in the chapel gives you a cool pamphlet on the history of the chapel. Pictures don’t do this chapel justice and there are tons of stunning photos but ten out of ten recommend you come in person.

Very beautiful chapel that’s completely worth a stop. Gorgeous views and stunning architecture. It’s so pleasant and delightful. You can bring the whole family, sit inside or browse around. It’s free, which makes it even more of a treat to enjoy!

We pulled up here. There were big signs saying closed for wedding. my son and I decided to go anyway, what a beautiful chapel and we got to take a picture with the groom!

Services are @ 9 & 11 am if you wish to attend. You are not allowed to enter the chapel once mass has begun. The architecture of this chapel allows you to feel as though you are outside. The woodland surroundings add so much atmosphere. Though, I would trim the 2 branches that extend across the left front of the chapel.

Thorncrown Chapel is outside Eureka Springs in a wooded area off of highway 62. The entrance comes pretty quick and is located in a turn on highway 62, so maybe slow it down and keep your eyes open. It seemed easier to spot the entrance when headed in the north/west direction out of Eureka springs on 62, it being on the right just entering a turn. The entrance road seems to continue in that direction by just veering to the right.The other direction (south east off highway 62, towards Eureka Springs) may be harder to spot, as it's in the middle of the turn (on your left). You also kind of need to make a U turn entering the the entrance road from that direction. The entrance road itself is kind of narrow and hilly as it runs into the woods to the parking area.There's a decent sized parking area that is free to park as you visit. The chapel itself is a very short walk on a path from the parking area. You first pass another smaller building on the right, that I think was an office, as you walk to the chapel. I do not remember seeing any restrooms on site, (but could be wrong) so it's probably a good idea to think about that before you visit, just to be on the safe side.Thorncrown Chapel itself is a really nice Chapel constructed with stone, a lot of wood and glass. It's not overly large in size, but is fairly tall. It has a really nice design. They do not charge an entrance fee to visit. But they do ask that you consider making a donation to help offset the costs to maintain the site.They also ask that you only take pictures of the inside of the chapel, from being seated in one of the pews. I moved to a different pew to give me different angles and views for the pictures that I snapped. They also ask that you bring no food or drink into the chapel. It was very quiet and serene and beautiful. It is a really nice place. Very much worth a visit.

Awe inspiring. A beautiful glass paneled structure, allowing one to feel at home in the trees while enjoying the climate controlled building.It is maintained on donations and is non-denominational. Open 7 days per week.

Incredibly peaceful, serene place of worship. Attended 11am service and experienced the presence of God. Service provided time to prepare mind and heart for worship; message on grace and unity were so timely for today! Well done; grateful to have had an opportunity to worship here.

A beautiful place to convene with Hod and nature. There was a church service in progress, so we did not enter this trip. I have visited there multiple times of the year, and it's always beautiful in any season.

So amazing! We were first one's for the day so we had this incredible Chapel to ourselves. Time of year was perfect with everything blooming and it is so stunning to see this beautiful piece of architectural history.

Thorncrown Chapel is beautiful. There was a very sweet lady by the door with a paper explaining the Chapel If you don't know about it, but we had planned going there well in advanced and knew all about it becuase of the architecture. It's a popular spot for the families looking for a nice religious themed stop on vacation, and also just the casual architecture lover or anyone who loves to look a pretty things. There is a working chapel on site if you'd like to pray in a quieter building because people are in and out the chapel to marvel at it. It's nestled in a beautiful spot as well.

So incredibly beautiful! Peaceful. Would love to be there in snow! Take the purple trolley from Eureka Springs!

We recently got married here. This is such a beautiful chapel. Our wedding pictures are breathtaking. Our wedding experience here was perfect. This chapel is perfect!

Most beautiful architecture. Free to visit and donations appreciated. Couldn't see it from the parking lot but just a short walk down a nice path and it's beauty will pop out as you get closer. Photos don't do it justice. The glass is amazingly crystal clear! I wish my windows at home were like that!

This is a beautiful Chapel set in the woods. We attended a Sunday Church service there. It had beautiful acoustics from the gospel singing and a simple Christian message. It's definitely worth a visit.

I am giving 4 stars only for one reason, and one reason only. They are extremely difficult to get ahold of. If you’re wanting to get married here, plan on booking at least a year in advance. We waited 7 weeks after multiple voicemails and emails for someone to get back to us. I also had follow up questions and was never directed to call the owner, instead of who was left on the voicemail. She was also very gruff. Other than that, it’s an AMAZING chapel. We had the 6pm-8pm time slot and wanted a sunset for the photos. It was beautiful and the pastor did a great job. He was very kind and personable. You cannot enter the chapel until your reservation time and not a minute before. We had most of our questions answered by our photographer- Jason Hudson. Elegant architecture, and our wedding turned out to be so much better than I could’ve dreamed of. Please make sure you are very clear on your playlist. I had mine on my phone which was an option. (Spotify) - label them and be clear when you explain what you want played and when. Thank you for our special day!

Beautiful and aa amazing story of how and why it was built. You will leave there feeling something; inspired, emotional, more devotion to God, something. Truly a beautiful and awesome inspiring chapel.Just be sure to check if it's closed for a special occasion before going.

This chapel is Heavenly and unearthly. It is so beautiful! I can't even describe how incredible this chapel is. If you love this chapel, I would recommend visiting the Anthony Chapel and the Mildred B. Cooper Chapel. Visiting these chapel is definitely worth the trip.

Beautiful and serene. I would love to attend a service here in the future. It was quite busy with tourists but it’s obvious why. A peaceful place built in nature.

Thorncrown Chapel is a really unique and beautiful Chapel. It has floor to ceiling glass all the way around and beautiful forest around it. The architecture is amazing. It is very interesting to photograph it. It is a peaceful and spiritual place. It is worth a stop.

Beautiful chapel and grounds. Such an amazing experience that I am glad we went to. If you’re in ES, check out Thorncrown

Breathtaking, a must see and what a place to attend a church service. Both chapels are intricately designed and tucked away in nature.

It is a truly remarkable and beautiful place. If you go in and sit you instantly feel relaxed at peace let everything go. I felt like a closer to talk with God at this place love the church!

It is a must-visit for anyone looking for a unique experience. The museum’s stunning architecture, nestled within beautiful natural surroundings, creates an inspiring atmosphere. The art collection is impressive, showcasing everything from colonial to contemporary pieces, and the temporary exhibits are always thought-provoking.I especially loved the outdoor trails and sculptures, which make the experience even more special. Walking through the woods and coming across art installations was a peaceful and unexpected joy.The fact that admission is free is a wonderful bonus, making world-class art accessible to everyone. It’s the perfect place for a relaxing, cultural day out, blending art, nature, and tranquility.Highly recommended!

I can't believe there would be a better venue for exhibiting artwork in the U.S. Just an amazing facility and grounds; well designed and maintained. There is an impressively wide collection of works that change and rotate on a regular basis. This recent trip was my second (the first was within a few years of opening), and I look forward to returning after renovations are completed in a few more years.

I'm so impressed with this museum and so proud we have such an amazing space here in the natural state. I recommend you do the site tour (free) to get a feel for the space as well as a behind the scenes on the architecture. Plan to stay ALL DAY and wear comfortable shoes and attire. There is so much to see and beautiful trails to explore. The admission to the permanent exhibits and trails are free as is the Frank Lloyd Wright house tour (self guided). There is a major expansion going on which will nearly double the space. I can't wait to come back again!

What an awesome place! I love it here. We stop there every time we go to Arkansas. I love how it is curated. This is an amazing collection of art! The docents are so friendly too! I love how spacious it is . The walking trails around the gardens is wonderful too. Im so glad they added the Frank Lloyd Wright house on the grounds. What a wonderful addition.

absolutely beautiful!it was our first time visiting, came for the art market they did this year(which was so cute and well put together) but also walked around the inside. the frank lloyd house walk through tickets are free you just have to schedule a time, being that it was a busier day they where quite booked but the man and women at the south hall where so helpful in letting us know good “off days” to come back. over all a beautiful building, museum, and experience. can’t wait to continue to explore the grounds and exhibits!

Unfortunately, most of the outside trails are closed as they are working hard to clean up all the fallen trees from the tornado. The inside is amazing, but it would be nice to have an audio guide through an app. I could spend all day there to study the amazing art. As good and better than I've seen in the MET. Nothing super large, but very nice collection.

A world-class collection housed in breath-taking architecture amidst Arkansas’ natural beauty and shared by the state’s incredibly warm people. I was taken aback by the bug temporary exhibit - apologies, the Exquisite Creatures collection. It was beautiful. My sister recommended it and I had been circumspect. You have to see it to believe it - exhibit ends July 29, 2024!

There is so much to say about Crystal Bridges, but I'll sort with the fact that there is no entrance fee...that is exceptional, and the art is fantastic. Really I'm here to review the wedding/event side of the Museum. In terms of weddings Crystal Bridge is utterly fantastic. The event spaces are excellent, the scenery is gorgeous, and the architecture is magnificent. I'll just drop some photos here to emphasize the review, but you owe to yourself as a couple to tour Crystal Bridges before making a decision on venues for your wedding.

Very cool museum! Clean, neat, and exceptional exhibits. The main museum is entirely FREE (including parking)! There is no reason to not stop by if you’re in the area.The exhibits are diverse and include everything from historic portraits to modern sculptures and 3D art. Elevators or ramps are provided everywhere where stairs are located.

Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is a wonderful place to view American artists. It has early and the latest modern art. They also have a Frank Lloyd Wright house to visit and outdoor sculpture but we were not deterred by the heat. Best of all the museum is free. Additional buildings are currently being added on. We had a Lavender latte and cherry turnovers in the dining area. The gift shop had beautiful items to choose from. The museum was busy but is structured in a way that didn't seem crowded. We will come back when they have completed the additional buildings.

Truly a jewel in the crown that is Northwest Arkansas, one of the newest exhibits at Crystal Bridges Museum, Exquisite Creatures, is stunningly beautiful. In fact, I spent so much time in this area of the museum, it felt like I had far too little time for the balance of the museum. If you're like me and tend to shy away from the minutiae of insects that populate our environment this time of year, you will be both fascinated and delighted at just how beautiful they can be when captured by the artists' eyes. But Exquisite Creatures doesn't stop with insects. There are birds, shells, reptiles and more, all of it stunning.

Best museum I’ve ever been so far 🥰It does take you to the past and slowly incorporate you to the modern era.The trails are so pretty too, they are open 24/7 and are pet friendly.I’ll definitely tell my friends about this museum, it’s a hidden gem.

What an amazing place! The active exhibit that I saw was “Knowing the West.“ The Gilcrease collection mixed in with the nNative baskets drew a full picture of the history connected with the art, and was quite exceptional. I loved everything about the collection. The trails are wide and clean and easily navigable. The spider was unique (without a head!) and a little creepy until you read the label. I especially loved the mirror balls in the pond. Come to this museum, carve out a day and bring a picnic. Highly recommend.

Went to view the exquisite creatures exhibit . Fascinating to see nature as art as well as the variety of insects and animals many of us will never see in person . The parking is slightly limited, and there is quite a lot of construction going on. However, I enjoyed walking the designated trails through the trees from the parking lot I parked in . The museum as a whole is well thought out and architecturally beautiful. Worth the visit .

Wonderful place full of unique art with trails and a restaurant. Unfortunately we arrived the same week a tornado came through and all trails were closed. However the bug exhibit was awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed looking at all the pieces. We ate at the restaurant and it hit the spot.

Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art offers an exceptional experience that blends art, history, and culinary delight. The museum's stunning collection spans centuries of American art, showcasing masterpieces in a breathtaking architectural setting. Each gallery tells a story, making history come alive through the artwork. The surrounding nature trails add to the serene atmosphere, perfect for reflection. After exploring, the on-site restaurant provides a fantastic dining experience with a menu that complements the museum's elegance. Crystal Bridges is truly a cultural gem, offering an inspiring and enriching visit for art and history enthusiasts alike.

The architecture draws you in and the flow of the connecting buildingsIs artistic. The dining area is open and airy. The food was reasonable, appealing to the eye and tasty.All of the exhibits were informative with script describing the what & why.

Great place to enjoy the melding or art and nature in one place. Lots of trails dot the landscape and give a very relaxing atmosphere. There are plenty of art exhibits to enjoy and admire

Wow! I was amazed by Crystal Bridges art museum. The architecture itself is an absolute marvel. And I can’t even begin to describe the feelings. I felt when I visited the Frank Lloyd Wright house on the premises. I am so surprised that this museum is free and has such amazing facilities. All of the exhibits are absolutely stunning and the staff is very welcoming and kind. For visiting Bentonville, this is an absolute must go.

What a surprise. An excellent museum. The curator(s) have done a superb job of displaying a diverse set of American art. A lovely setting with walks, gardens, water features, etc.Plan at least half a day to walk and explore, for free. There are some specialized exhibits that are fee based, but there is so much to see at no cost. Parking is free.

Visited Labor Day weekend and glad I arrived early. By time I left mid afternoon it was crowded and busy. On-point art sale was a plus and I purchased a very nice vase. The house tour you can skip as so much is roped off and many updates were after it was relocated. Had I known before purchasing my ticket, I would not have. A variety of art from many venues and the climate was nice. There is an art room for kids,too. Visit the Promenade, also!

Loved everything about this visit, the gardens were a wonderful walking experience, the art in the museum was fascinating and diverse.Each painting told a story, each design was unique and carefully crafted.Customer service was great, and near by if needed.

I had an absolutely stunning experience at this museum, it’s genuinely the best one I’ve been to so far! Everyone that worked there was so kind and helpful, the garden and fountains are GORGEOUS, and there was such a wide variety of art. Please come here if you’re in the area, you won’t regret it!

We didn’t quite know what to expect when visiting here. It wasn’t necessarily something we came to see but a spur of the moment decision to go check it out. My expectations were low and I was amazed. This place is an absolute blast. You could get lost for hours exploring three floors of some of the coolest most interesting art that I have ever seen. There was a room for everything from old religious paintings, to abstract art. Then after you explore not only the fantastic art museum, but in a gorgeous building, you can step outside to an absolutely beautiful garden. The house and yard within itself is art. There is plenty of places to find a peaceful place to relax, fed the fish, smell the flowers. I would most definitely recommend this place.

First visit to Oklahoma and so enjoyed the sense of community, inclusiveness and cultural offerings. In addition to Tulsa's numerous parks and family focused recreation venues is this amazingly beautiful museum bequeathed to the city by a industrial magnate. The art offerings are on par with big city city museums and tastefully presented. From Rembrandt to Monet. Don't miss this opportunity.

I have been meaning to come by Philbrook since last year, but by then it was fall and I wanted to wait to see the spring bloom.Well, Memorial Day 2024 came around and I decided to make the trip. Upon arrival, I was pleasantly delighted by the Italian renaissance design of the museum (prior house). Once inside the art collection is very exquisite and diverse. From modern, to abstract, to Egyptian, to African. Very nice.The real treasure (and biggest reason I went) was to see the gardens outback. I can tell you that I was not let down. The Garden is extensive and immaculately groomed. I was in utter awe at the exquisite beauty…and in Tulsa of all places. I must have spent close to 2 hours enjoying the gardens and botanicals.The Philbrook is a definite must do for anyone that enjoys art and nature. A+

We had an amazing experience at the Philbrook Museum. Tickets were cheaper since my friends and I had our student IDs. The museum and grounds were beautiful!! Totally worth the price. We went mid-November and the weather was perfect.

Absolutely loved it here. It's so beautiful. So many wonderful exhibits to see. My favorite was the outside gardens. We visited on Sunday. Not too busy. We got $1 per person admission for having soonercare/wic/ebt cards. Staff was very kind and friendly. We had a great time. Thank you.

This place was such a great experience! The mansion, the art, the gardens... Wow!! I highly recommend a visit, but be sure to give yourself a few hours at least, there is so much to see! Wear nice clothes for taking pictures in this beautiful setting and you won't be disappointed!! Bring your friends and family for a beautiful and relaxing day 😊

I always wanted to visit the gardens during the spring and I was able to make it happen this year while there was an art in bloom exhibition going on. Hands down the best exhibition and gardens are truly a slice of Tuscany in Tulsa.

ELLIS HOSPITALITY TEAM loves working wedding and events with the Philbrook. The events team and Reilly are absolutely amazing. We had a lovely wedding last night and then the rain came and everyone pitched in and worked hard to flip the floor plan to inside ! It was so satisfying to watch a huge team of vendors come together to make a lovely wedding successful. Thank you Philbrook Events and Weddings!

Exceptional. The home, the art, the staff, the gift shop, the gardens By far my favorite place in Tulsa. Must see. Sad Elote is the restaurant, sorry..not a fan, at all. Everything else, well worth every moment spent there.

Enjoy all the art work. Great Native pots. The staff from the entrance paying to the docents wonderful. Really loved that part of the original house kept the same and can actually walk on the staircase and see the Beatrice stained glass and garden. And being from NM the Georgia O’Keefee painting.

Nice collection and grounds. The collection is actually on the small side, but a lot of nice pieces. The building is really cool. Going on a nice day is the way to get the most out of the entrance fee though, since the grounds are really nice to walk around.

The Philbrook Museum of Art, nestled in the heart of Tulsa, Oklahoma, began its life as the opulent villa of oil magnate Waite Phillips in 1927. Transformed into a museum in 1939, this Italian Renaissance-style mansion now stands as a testament to both the city’s rich cultural heritage and its vibrant artistic spirit. Wandering through the lush gardens and the meticulously preserved rooms of this grand home, you can’t help but feel the echoes of a bygone era blending seamlessly with contemporary artistic expression.Exploring these grounds, you'll lose yourself amidst verdant gardens and the timeless beauty of art. Every corner of the mansion whispers stories of elegance and grandeur, inviting you to pause and savor the moment.

I'm a big art museum person, and happened to stumble upon this museum while on my way back from the Tulsa Farmers Market. A good variety of art styles and the facilities and grounds are miraculously maintained. It was a joy to visit. If I wasn't only in the area for a short time I would definitely be getting a membership to come back regularly.

The Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa is a highly regarded cultural institution known for its extensive art collection and beautiful gardens. It is housed in a historic Italian-style villa and offers exhibits featuring European, American, Asian, Native American, and African artists.The museum's blend of art, history, and nature is very good. The museum's gardens are a major highlight, providing a serene and scenic backdrop to the art on display. The museum also hosts various exhibitions and events, such as the "Collidoscope: de la Torre Brothers Retro-Perspective," which showcases vibrant, multi-media artworks by the de la Torre brothers, reflecting their bicultural experiences.The museum is known for being accessible, offering discounted admissions on Fridays after 5 PM and free entry for students from partner colleges and certain cardholders on specific weekends.The beautiful garden surrounding the museum is an added attraction.The general admission ticket to the museum costs $17 for adults and $6 for youth, with various discounts available.

Beautiful art museum. Gardens are a must-see. They also have a spot for drinks. And totally different experience at night when everything is lit up. And an entirely different experience for Christmas!

Truly love this place! It’s a must see for any visitor in Tulsa! Also an excellent wedding venue 🤩 the best wedding I ever went to took place here. Great events. Great people. Great experience every time!

A must visit place if you happen in Tulsa!Only $17 for adult, and $14 for students. This place is so amazing and well-maintained. I spent the whole day enjoying the garden and having a nice relaxing walk. The weather was so perfect in June. The section I loved the most was the painting from old century, there’re very heartbreaking stories behind those paintings, but also interesting to read and imagine it

Beautiful historic art museum and home with a wide variety of modern, classic, and contemporary art. The 15 acre gardens are great to explore and walk around, and enjoy the peaceful scenery. Highly recommend if you’re in Tulsa.

Absolutely love going here! I highly recommend going on a beautiful spring/ summer day so you can fully take in not just the amazing art, but the beautiful gardens as well! This mansion is absolutely stunning from all angles inside & out!

Best gardens in Tulsa! Great for picnics or a beautiful stroll. Many paths throughout the gardens and including accessible for ADA (stroller and wheelchairs). Option to bring blankets, snacks and drinks or there are picnic tables and chairs throughout the garden. Philbrook also has great evens for kids and adults alike. A must if visiting the area!

A Gem of Art and Beauty - Philbrook Museum of Art.Rating: 5/5I recently visited the Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and it was a truly unforgettable experience. This stunning museum is a gem of art and beauty, showcasing a diverse collection of works from around the world.The museum's villa-style building, surrounded by breathtaking gardens, is a work of art in itself. The expansive collection includes European, American, Native American, and Asian art, as well as rotating exhibitions.What struck me most was the museum's commitment to community engagement and education. Philbrook offers a range of programs and activities for visitors of all ages, from art classes to interactive exhibits.The museum's grounds, featuring beautiful gardens and a children's garden, are perfect for a leisurely stroll or picnic.Overall, Philbrook Museum of Art is a must-visit destination for art lovers, families, and anyone seeking a dose of beauty and culture.Pros:- Stunning villa-style building and breathtaking gardens- Diverse collection of art from around the world- Commitment to community engagement and education- Range of programs and activities for visitors- Beautiful grounds and children's gardenCons: NoneHighlights:- Exploring the museum's expansive art collection- Discovering the beautiful gardens and grounds- Enjoying the interactive exhibits and programs- Relaxing in the peaceful atmosphere- Attending one of the museum's many events and exhibitionsTips for visitors:- Plan for at least 2-3 hours to explore the museum- Check the museum's calendar for rotating exhibitions and events- Take advantage of the museum's programs and activities- Bring a picnic or grab food from the on-site cafe- Wear comfortable shoes for exploring the grounds

This home turned museum is massive. I could only imagine back in the 1920's living here, like what do you do with 72 rooms. Manicured lawn and amazing gardens with a pond. You could get lost here and wouldn't even care. Have some comfortable shoes because you will want to see all of this place and it requires walking. There are areas that you can sit and rest a bit and a picnic area outside in a shaded area. It was well worth the admission fee for the wealth of knowledge obtained visiting the Philbrook Masion/Museum

I have gone multiple times, and they have beautiful art exhibits. The gardens are also an amazing sight, even in wintertime.
