I had a day to entertain my two year old by myself in Roanoke. This place was perfect! It was in a…read moregreat location, just down the street from our hotel, so we walked. It was a reasonable price. It was the perfect size for her to get through in two hours. She had a blast going from room to room playing in all the different themes. She loved the playground area for climbing and slides. She also loved the little camping area. The Kroger exhibit was quite a hit as well. I loved that she was learning about all the different trades and burning energy at the same time. I also loved the details they put into each station. The news reporting with the live broadcast and microphones were really fun. The working cash register experience at the Kroger experience was awesome. The black light area was a lot of fun too. I think I had as much fun as she did! Definitely recommend for anyone with a toddler and at least two hours to get through it.

My son absolutely loved this place and there were so many activities to do. It's well worth the $9…read moreper person and the price is nothing at all. You can spend hours in here. There isn't time did mission and you can stay as long as you want. There's activities for just about every interest your child can possibly have, a market place, a salon, trains, jungle gyms, digging, construction, sensory play, a black room, literally everything. The staff keeps it nice and clean, but your expected to clean up after your child as well, of course. There's even a section for kids two and below. The only thing I wasn't really fond of was when we first walked in, the employee was talking to my three year old autistic child, and telling him the rules, which he really doesn't understand, and she was expecting a response back from him. Just because you don't know the nature of younger children, I think it's better to direct rules and everything to parents, so they can direct it to the child.

Hey, if you're looking to do something with young kiddos and it's pouring rain, come here. I…read morevisited SML and it decided to rain allllllll week so we needed to get out of the house. This was a fun arcade for the family, and they had a deal of $20 for an hour of unlimited play. Some games weren't available but they were the "win tickets" games, it was worth it. There are many games, so slightly over stimulating but it's an arcade... The plaza the arcade is located also had mini-golf, a marina, a coffee shop, an ice cream shop, a souvenir shop, a couple of restaurants, a climbing wall, and other outdoor activities. Since it was raining (pouring rain actually), the outdoor activities were closed. I recommend this place, especially if it's raining and you have younger kiddos. Did I mention it was raining?

We paid for 36 holes and after our 1st 18 holes were over, we went to get our next round and were told "yes you paid for 36holes, but we're closing, so you don't have time." We were told Yelp was wrong and they close at 8 instead. I'm frustrated that knowing this, we weren't directed to only pay for 18. The facility was empty except for the two employees and our family. We spent $48 and were only able to play half the course when we could've been informed upon arrival that they were closing within the hour and instead of paying for 36 we should spend $25 and pay for 18.

This cute little ice cream shop in the middle of nowhere is full of surprises. Located in…read moreCloverdale, Virginia, it's a family-run business well known in the area for its Hershey's ice cream and Nathan's hot dogs. But besides these two items, it's menu has expanded and now includes a delicious pork barbecue, sausage hoagies, and grilled cheese sandwiches. They offer window service and have reasantly started accepting credit cards in addition to cash. They now also have a fenced-in little patio with a picnic table and red umbrella to be able to sit down and enjoy your meal there. I arrived there on a hot summer day with temperatures in the 100 degrees. I had just eaten elsewhere, but stopped there to have some ice-cream. The building front was decorated in such a way that immediately captured the attention of anyone driving by, and so it did to me. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review to get a better sense of the place and its delicious offerings. After approaching the window, a friendly older lady opened it up and gave me a warm welcome. She told me they did not have a printed menu yet but all around the window there were posted menus of what they had. It was so hot that I decided to go with a Strawberry Milkshake, because with this heat any ice cream would melt quickly. While the owner prepared my milkshake a lady customer of the place arrived and we established conversation. She ended up being a relative of the owner of Brood Restaurant in Salem, Virginia. One of the last restaurants that I had written a Yelp review and was being featured in the app together with one of my photographs. She was delighted with by review just by reading the first few sentences and took a picture of it on my phone with her phone. What a small world I thought to myself. She suggested that next time I should try their pork barbecue. Another customer was also having the pork barbecue and also recommended it. When my milkshake was ready, I started drinking it with a thin straw the lady gave me, but it was so thick that I recommended she get thicker straws next time, but it was so good that I took the lid off and ended up drinking the cold and delicious milkshake. I highly recommend this ice cream shop and am looking forward to returning to try their now famous pork barbecue and maybe one of their Special Sundaes.
