Super fun experience at the pumpkin patch!!! We visited on the Saturday morning before Halloween…read moreand it wasn't too packed at all!! We had fun. There is a big parking lot- but be careful, the driveway to get in is really narrow and only one car fits through at a time. There is no admission fee and it is free to walk around. You also don't need reservations. There is cornhole, picnic tables to sit at, a gift shop with local good slike honey and apples, a coffee truck, a lemonade truck and popcorn for sale. There are pumpkins everywhere of different shapes and sizes available for purchase in addition to gourds and mums. We bought a mum and it was $15. There are plenty of photo opportunities and a garden to walk around in. There is also a lot of space for kids to run around in. For an additional fee, there is a wagon ride you can take that will take you to see farm animals but we didn't do this. All in all, not as many activities in my opinion as some of the other pumpkin patches around town, but I did like how close it is to town compared to some of the other pumpkin patch options and it was super cute! The staff was all really nice too!

Playground review: it's a super nice space and is designed for ages 2-12. There's a ton of different equipment for all abilities.

I wanted my toddler to get an opportunity to socialize with other kids and learn to make something new. Instead what we got were four different parent/self-led arts & crafts stations. The two women there walked around and encouraged the kids with "good jobs", but they didn't actually do anything else. My toddler was still happy at the end and said he had fun, but then again he has fun collecting rocks. Honestly, if this is what their other classes are like, I'm better off using the $35 class fee on my own art materials. I'm bummed because it seemed so awesome to have this place near us.

Optimist Training is the best kept secret in the Carolinas!!! I would like to thank Billy Wilken…read moreand his wife Stephanie for planning and executing two fun filled weeks of a custom adventure summer camp for my son, his cousins and family friends- a custom group of kids from 12 to 15 years of age. The adventure camp included kayaking, fishing, swimming, hiking, disc golf and sports training. The kids were at Ebenezer Park on Lake Wylie, Andrew Jackson State Park, the Catawba River and the Fort Mill Dam to Riverwalk. The kids had so much fun that at the end of the day, they just wanted an afternoon snooze instead of looking at their phones. Billy is a great guy, while fishing, he taught the kids all kinds of fun facts like how to tell time by just looking at the sun's location. Most important, he's able to identify a child's natural sport's abilities and give the coaching and reinforcement to help the child thrive. A special thank you to Billy and Stephanie for their hard work and flexibility with us to make this a memorable experience, the kids loved it!!! We are now planning an adventure birthday party that will involve all three generations. I highly recommend Optimist Training for custom camp adventures , special events and more. Thank you!!! -Diana Leon

Well, here's my story…read more My friend's daughter loves horses and was talking about having a horse ride lesson one day. On July 3rd, on her birthday, we went online and found Leg Up Equestrian. I called them and left the voice message. I understand it was right before 4th of July so no problem. Then I went to their website, which is old, out of date and not user friendly but sooner or later I finally figured out how to fill out the form. On July 6th I received the email that they are on the holiday break. Well, not a problem, I understand the holidays. I called them after the holidays on July 10 and left the voice message again. On July 12 they send me the email if I still would like to schedule a trial lesson ($65). I responded with the dates I am interested in and they told me to fill out registration form. I also received separate email with a release form. To pay for the lessons was another adventure. You need to sign up, put all info again so I've decided to call them this morning to make sure I'll do everything correct. I called, left the voice message again. The gentleman called me back from the academy, I missed the call, called him back and here we are, finally having the conversation after 2 weeks of trying. He said that I need to fill out the form and make a payment, we had some misunderstanding with email addresses but figured that out. No problem. Then I asked him a question about the trial lesson itself. How long is it going to be? what exactly the kid going to do? and told him, that I had a bad experience with one of the horse places in Florida. (at that place, lesson was supposed to be 45 mins, and 35 mins the coach was explaining to my daughter how to take care of the horse, then 5 minutes the coach took a break and then 5 min horse ride) I explained this to that gentleman and asked to be just more specific. He said, 20 mins getting ready and 20 mins a lesson. I asked another question if it's a group lesson or not, he said, it might be a group lesson. I said, well, you didn't mention that and then he offered me a private lesson which is $75. I said, what is the difference between trial and private lesson. The respond was amazing - "I think, we are not a good fit for you, I have to go" And hanged on me. My concern that I spent so much time to get connected with them, finally got on the phone, asked simple questions, wasn't rude or blaming them on something! just asked to be more specific. Now, after 2 weeks of hoping to get a lesson as a B'day gift I need to explain her mom that Leg Up Equestrian never heard about customer service and live in 18th century.

The school is clean, fresh and modern, uses secure video cameras so you can always see what's going on with your kid. Kids go outside twice a day and spend a lot of time on the playground.

She told the principal, and he came out holding a giant knife, threatening to chop off the culprit's hand because, according to him, that is what the Bible says to do. I was terrified. My parents were so disturbed by the incident that they filed a police report, but it was dismissed because they said he was "just trying to teach us a lesson." Trust me, do not send your kids here. I have seen firsthand what happens when all the parents leave, and it is awful.
