So, I only knew about this place because my 3 year old watches Handy Man Hal and he had an episode…read moreabout it recently he's actually the one who spotted it so we had to go check it out. We built 2 monster cars. It is just like build a bear. You can do basic and get the standard wheels, rims, etc at no additional costs but do you? Nope... you upgrade and pay for all the extras and accessories. If can be as cheap as $20 or the sky's the limit. Once you pick out all you want, you get to build your ride with assistance. Lastly, one more opportunity to upgrade at check out. Free bag or upgrade to a cardboard box garage, or a car backpack! We got 2 vehicle bases, non RC, upgraded rims on both, monster truck wheels on both, a spoiler on one, a front grill on one, and 2 cardboard garages all for $140. The 2 employees working were very helpful, polite, and informative. Great with my two boys ages 3 and 7. Would recommend if you have a car loving kid!

My son saw "Ridemakerz" on a show and had been begging us to visit ever since. So for his 5th…read morebirthday we took the plunge and drove all the way from Louisville so he could build his very own RC car. My son was so excited! The experience was everything we had hoped for. From picking your own car body from a wide selection, to choosing tires and rims, to putting the car together under the instruction of one of the knowledgeable team members: my kiddo had an absolute blast! The more accessories are added on, the more expensive the car will ultimately end up being so I recommend being aware and setting a limit with your kiddo before visiting. Thank you "ridemakerz" for the great experience!

This was our first time at the Muse and it was honestly a 3 or 4 experience, but not because it…read morelacked awesomeness, but because we chose a horribly busy day to come. Thus, I didn't reduce stars due to the crowds alone. There was a summer camp and the largest field trip group that they had all summer (according to the workers) with every station so crowded with space and sharing-oblivious kiddos. We asked the workers if they post field trip info online so we can avoid those days and they said you must call ahead of time to see if anything is scheduled. CALL AHEAD, y'all. They also told me that after 12:30 is the least busy time of day. As a heads up military, first responders, and educators get a discounted ticket (for self, not the entire party). My UT prof husband paid half-price. The staff is very friendly and working hard to keep the areas stocked and clean. A moving target, but they did their best! ;-) There is a gift shop, an amazing hand-washing station independent of the bathrooms, STEM areas, outdoor water and bubble play, a playground, a garden, forts, science experiments, train tables, play food/nutrition area, a giant lite-bright, rocket ships, race tracks, and numerous wind tunnel/scarf tubes (totally the technical term. ha). So many areas for kids with sensory needs and everything is very interactive. We have a membership to Children's Museum of OR, and in comparison, this is much more hands-on learning than the historical feel of OR's. I felt that the Muse is a great fit for the younger kiddos (toddlers, babies, etc) with it being all one story and easy to navigate, huge crowds aside. Amazing museum. Just know to call ahead so you're not overwhelmed. We plan to go back again soon and pay extra $3 p/p for the planetarium.

Our 7-year-old wanted to check out Muse while we were in town. They have a STEM focus. The staff is…read morevery nice. We met several while drawing in the art area. They have a nice dome show. Ours was about the Apollo missions. Other areas are fun and he had fun for the first part of the visit. They do have a small sensory room but other kids were being very loud, so my son could not enjoy his sensory break. The outside area is great. The downside to the museum is that it gets busy and loud. If your child does not like loud places then they will have a tough time.

I am strong. (muscles up) I am brave. (hands on hips)…read moreI can do this. (thumbs up) IYKYK Currently on a subscription and at least 10 visits under our belt (a green shirt to prove it). We're at a strong 4/5 here and would recommend to any families that need to challenger their kid to be more OK with social settings and activities before they get into school and overwhelmed with the social pressure. I'd say my rating is more about the experience with certain staff over others more than anything. So, let's get into it. Generally the place looks tremendously clean (bathrooms too), with plenty of seating for observers - a little tight though as kids are coming in and out between sessions. The staff to greet you in is usually on point for friendliness and directing to the right spots - most of the time I perceive it's a manager or someone in supervision. Our son is Level3 ASD and has his own series of challenges. For the most part the instructors he had at the start were super understanding of him - even trying at times to help and other times to leave him be (and understood why he needed space). Our current ones? Maybe not so much...you can always tell when people are annoyed and if you think the children don't see it then you are dead wrong. That aside, I am tremendously grateful that at times they let 2 of us be with our son, especially when he's having issues. At the "little gym" down the road for example we were scolded openly about rules and "only 1 inside" before we could explain anything. Needless to say we cancelled it there. Room for improvement? At times I think the curriculum is too challenging for walking to 2 years old - examples are trying to do burpees and tug of war...if I didn't compromise other kids privacy I'd record it to show how uneventful it is due to them just simply being too little. My feedback is, try to adjust the curriculum to make more sense for the littles. For bigger kids I'm sure it's a blast.

Fantastic playground on Main Street in downtown Blue Ridge. There are two separate gated…read moreplaygrounds (one for children 3 and under and the other for children 5 and older). The smaller playground was too babyish for my three year old so we decided to brave the older playground so he could play with big brother. He handled the slides like a pro, but I had to spot him on all of the climbing apparatuses. I was thankful to have their grandma my husband and on the playground with me because my toddlers were running around like feral animals and I had a difficult time keeping up with them constantly testing their limits on the playground equipment! There is plenty of parking along the playground as well as benches for the parents. This is a great spot for kids to burn off some energy before or after dinner! Highly recommend Blue Ridge Playground to any family!

To be honest it's a struggling BMX track. I would love to promote it more as I love the sport and…read morehate to say anything bad about a track. But it's just a track that doesn't have the local support it needs to be successful. The track is also on a hillside which could be fun with the speed but it makes for a struggle after you're gassed pushing your bike back up. The hill does make it easy to view every part as a spectator which isn't always the case on a typical flat location. The surface of the track is pretty rough and ruts in the berms from rain. I know the director works on this regularly but there's no way to keep on top of it just by himself. The start gate works well and the the first couple jumps are fun. This is a kid friendly track as the jumps aren't as aggressive as other tracks I've been too. I'm not even sure if it's still open anymore. I wish the track director all the best but even I live to far away to help out on a regular basis. A BMX track needs an entire crew to run efficiently and a good chunk of money to maintain it. This is a catch 22 situation where you need a large number of racers to create that but you need a nice track to entice those racers to come. Also a large city population helps (Ducktown is not that!) And this is too far away from a large enough town to support that. Ugh I hate to be this way but it's just the truth.
