We came here with our two year old granddaughter on a Friday late afternoon. There were almost no…read morepeople here, which was great. This was our first time on any rides, and we went on the train first. The train made four laps around the track. For the first two lapse, our granddaughter was getting used to the train. By the third lap, she was OK and started pointing things out and enjoying it. By the fourth lap, it was all smiles and excitement. We also bought a ticket for the boats, and we're the only people there. But she was not ready to ride by herself, so that got nixed. We were going to get tickets for the carousel but the little one was getting tired so we left to head home. All of the people working there were super polite and friendly. The park was spotless and well maintained. The cost of the rides was only a dollar or a dollar fifty, which is a steal. They had snacks beside the ticket booth, but we didn't have any. All in all, this is a wonderful place for families or even couples to just enjoy the beauty. Five stars all day long!

The eagle statue stand between the American flag and the North Carolina State flag. The arboretum is very well kept you and definitely tell the town of Burlington puts in the finances into keeping their parks well kept and maintained. This is where I would come to take walk or just sit in the grass and relax and take it all in. I've considered moving to NC and if I decided to make that move Burlington will definitely be where I'll call home.

In today's event it was nice to come out and check out the locals and see a couple of people from Johnson's Corner Farm. Like Aaron & some other people from there. It got a bit chilly towards 7PM but it was worth the wait because Little Georgie got a trophy for his 2018 GT Mustang. I'm so proud of him. Today was a fun, fulfilling day. I can't wait what else is in store for us in the present and future. Anyways, If you love cars like I do, this car show is the one you'll like to come out too. Go to the next one, you won't be disappointed!!! 'Vroom vroom'!
