After speaking with my friend who booked the venue for his event, my wife and I decided to book it for our own event (babies birthday party). The communication with Barbara was good, as it didn't take too long to receive responses via email, and all the information she passed on to us was very detailed. Our party consisted of roughly 80 guests, so although the space looks small from the outside, it was surely enough space for everyone. The venue also has a full kitchen, which was really helpful for prepping the food and using the fridge for storing drinks and the cakes. Parking was pretty ample, which is exactly what you need with that many guests. All in all, this venue was a great choice for our party. We would definitely consider using them again in the future!

Great space - we had an amazing time hosting our daughter's 1st birthday party for about 80 people…read more It's so convenient that all tables and chairs are provided - we didn't have all 80 seated and had play areas and an arch for photos. We probably had about 60 seats and it felt like there was still so much room. We were able to use the kitchen to prep and had buffet tables set. Barbara was very easy and pleasant to work with. My only feedback is that the place needs a little refresh, especially the bathrooms. But overall - pricing is extremely reasonable and we would use again if we needed a big space again!!

Very excited for this new local event center! The GRAND OPENING is Sunday, May 18, 2025 from 1-4 pm!read more

My nephews are full of that classic "boys will be boys" energy, and this is a great place for them to play and stay engaged. The customer service has been consistently excellent, and it's clear the staff cares about the kids and the families who come in. It's also a nice bonus knowing their mom gets a little break while the boys are having fun. I highly recommend this kids' gym to other parents and families.

We stopped by for a birthday party and were really impressed by the clean and beautifully decorated venue, friendly staff, and fun activity area that was fun for both toddlers, big kids, and adults alike! For a full hour and a half, children were invited for a guided open play that included a zip line (modified with swing for little kids!), jumping pillow, rock climbing wall, monkey bars, obstacle courses, and more. They even had a special section for younger kids with ride on toys, a ball pit, and bar for them to hang on. I love how they have a dedicated party space for food and drink and a little area that overlooks the gym directly so if your child takes a class you can watch. Handwashing stations and bathroom are also located directly in the building which makes it easy for parents. The gym allowed our party hosts to customize the party with outside food and screens to match the theme. Truly a gem on the birthday party circuit.

If you go on YouTube, there's footage of one of the large columns that fell over a couple years ago. Thank goodness no one got hurt.

I doubt I'll do that experience again, but cheers to all who do, as this would be a good location. Parking is for the most part a cinch too. The interior is well taken care of. The lower part is good for music, while the upstairs sometimes has paint exhibitions.

When I visited here and played golf by an invitation, it felt disconnected and not very personal. The greens, fairways, tee boxes, and practice facility are all in very good condition because they get very little play, but I was left with a very unimpressive feeling when leaving. My overall opinion is that it is overpriced.. My feeling though is that the course has no memorable holes and is not that exciting. It can be challenging, but a bit gimmicky as ball placement is important and knowing where to hit. I actually played very well, but was left with a very unimpressive feeling when leaving. My overall opinion is that it is overpriced.

My husband I hosted our post wedding celebration here…read morehttp://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/hprs/dranesville.htm on 4/18/15. Zack (who showed me the property and set up the reservation) and Cindy (who was on-site manager the day of the event) were very easy to work with. Since, the property is managed by Fairfax County; I never got the feeling that I was being upsold. The space itself has both pros and cons. The cons of the space is that is split into several small to medium sized rooms making it difficult to host a typical style reception (our guests stayed and gravitated outside so we hardly needed the indoor space). You have to bring down the chairs and tables from the top of the stairs (the tables and chairs are included in your rental costs). The Dranesville Tavern only has a cold kitchen (so, if you'd like an event where the cater(ers) are cooking something fresh at your party site this is not the location for you). You must have a license catering (no on-site cooking from the hosts is permitted). You have to pay (and give yourself additional time) to obtain an ABC license from the state of VA. The pros are the outdoor space includes 2 large covered decks on either side of the property. Our party was able to set out the chairs and tables on the deck and our guests brought their food from the buffet (set up in one of the rooms inside). If you're looking for a place with charm the Dranesville Tavern is a nice mixture. It is historic without being small (believe it can hold up to 80 people). It also has a nice rustic feel to it. The exterior of the buliding looked nice in our pictures. The Dranesville Tavern gives you an rain plan. Although we only used the indoor space for a place to store gifts, drinks and the buffet; it was nice to know had it rained that we could still host our guests comfortably. The lawns at the Dranesville Tavern are large and surround the property and although this property is located off a busy road it feels very private. Our party had several lawn games for people to enjoy (making the lawns even more pleasant place to spend an afternoon). There is ample parking (at no additional cost) located next to the property. In a nutshell for the cost and space, if you're looking for a place that feels special without the upcharge; I would suggest looking at the Dranesville Tavern.

It's run by Fairfax County and the staff were easy to work with and helpful as we planned our event. The only drawback to the building is that there isn't one large room like most event spaces. But there is a nice porch that over looks a beautiful lawn. There are multiple good sized rooms where you can set up tables for food and seating on both floors. Overall given the reasonable cost, good proximity to Nova/DC, lovely historic building, and abundant parking it was a choice and I would recommend it for small to medium gatherings (30-60 people), particularly in the spring and fall.
