    Our "Coast to Coast Road Trip" has taken us to a number of play areas. This is one of the best, or…read moreat least most captivating, we've come across. Our two-and-a-half year old played for almost two hours on this magical wooden castle. The only things that keep it from a 5 star rating is the lack of a real bathroom and some of the wear and tear on equipment, particularly the leather ropes that have been worn down pretty significantly. It's sort of off the beaten path, but well worth a visit if you're in the area! MATERIALS: The support posts are all wood, but the flooring material is sturdy, composite all-weather stuff. Wear close-toed shoes, because it's a wood chip ground cover. There's grass on 3 sides outside of the play area. PLAY AREAS: - There's a dedicated Tot Lot for ages 2-5, which has tamer play equipment, and toddler/harness type swings. Our 2 year old is normally cautious about slides, but he really enjoyed the one in the Tot Lot area. - One unique feature was a little xylophone that actually sounded nice. The other musical element (some kind of pipes) has been jammed up with wood chips. Gee, who'd have guessed kids would stick would chips in the holes? ;) - The other, larger play area has a set of 4 'big kid' swings, a tire swing, at least 4 slides (both covered and open air), swinging rings, monkey bars, climbing and balancing ropes, and one of those fakey zipline things (just a rolling hand hold on a short track you hang from). There's plenty of stuff to climb. Our son liked running across the bridge because it kind of bounced around as he ran. AMENITIES: - There are 2 covered picnic areas with tables. - NO BATHROOM! Just one run-down porta potty

    This is an amazing playground! Seems like it's in the middle of nowhere, so there was only one…read morefamily there when we visited. Very similar (but even better) layout to Fort Kid in downtown Knoxville. Plenty of parking, shaded picnic structures, clean and well maintained. About a half hour from Knoxville but close to Oak Ridge and Clinton. Definitely worth a stop if you've got young kids in the area.

    Dec 15th! What a treat to walk through all the Christmas lights along the paths!…read more I believe was their second year of lights. It was amazing! A chilly night, bundled up for it and a Hot cocoa from the drink trailer was just the perfect ticket to stay out longer! Can't wait for the next display!

    Where to begin. The atmosphere is nice. Unfortunately, that is the only positive statement I can…read moremake about this alleged higher end restaurant. I was visiting my brother and his wife and they wanted to take me to a special dinner. I maintain a vegan diet, so my sister in law asked a server at Aspire if they accommodate a plant-based diet. She was told absolutely; further, the server said the chef and kitchen are very creative. We get to the restaurant and the server did not even know what a vegan diet is. Nothing on the menu, either. He went to the kitchen and said they could serve me some pasta with broccoli and mushrooms. I said that would be acceptable. The server brought out a bowl of overcooked penne with a tiny bit of broccoli and some small pieces of mushroom...all drenched in what seemed like a cup of olive oil and very little spicing. There was so much oil, I had to ask the server to take the dish and drain off the oil. He did and brought back the bowl which now only had maybe a 1/4 cup of oil. They did add a pinch of oregano and salt and pepper. Of course it was over salted now. I get the bill and they had the nerve to charge me for their chicken and pasta dish. Nearly $20 for cheap pasta and a few veggies. Seriously! I asked for the manager on the way out and shared my disappointment. What I got was a bunch of excuses. The Executive Chef was off that night. They were really busy. The manager was new and was here to fix things. He offered to comp the bill for the entire party. I told him that was not necessary. He insisted again and I said, my brother and his wife had what they ordered, so again, not necessary. (Note...the steak and fish dishes they had were, according to them, just OK...nothing special and a bit disappointing.) He said he would comp my dinner and I said that was fine. He did comp my dinner dish, not the wine I had. Frankly, if he wanted to make up for the poor experience I had and the embarrassment my sister in law, who had selected this restaurant, was experiencing, he would have written off the entire bill as a surprise. That is how he would get them back to the restaurant. Oh well. I did suggest, since he was new, that he has numerous opportunities ahead of him and he acknowledged this. He said they would be working on a new menu that plans for gluten free, vegetarian and vegan diets. I hope Aspire does and I wish them the best in the future.

    I really struggled with the rating here - for me it's a 3.5 overall…read more Highlights: The playground portion was awesome, fully accessible for me to go in and keep up with our little dude. The open spaces to roam are essential for us, and we felt good about him being on the playground side. The staff was really nice on the way in and was occasionally walking the grounds, picking up, checking in, etc. Improvements needed: the hands-on toy section needs a redo. At one point, I'd say it was in excellent quality...but it's clear wear and tear and no investment have led to some of the tiny rooms leaving little to the imagination, with most stuff scattered about with no structure (and existing toys worn out). Kids can make the most of a lot, but this needs a refresh. Side note...the furniture has some sharp points too...if budget can't permit replacing with things with smoother edges, then at least put some covers on the corners. We didn't feel good about that section and tried to block and cover it. That, or gate it. All aside, we are grateful for all the little spots like these that give variety to our kiddo with special needs.

    This place was absolutely worth the drive from our town…read more Usually I hate these kinds of places because of kid germs and the mass spread but this place was very clean. I believe every thirty minutes they were cleaning and sanitizing. I loved that they had spots for adults to sit and watch their kids. The staff were very kind and helpful. The 3 years old loved this place. I only wish it was bigger
