    Easy trail around the island with nice river views. Good for beginners but lots of rocks and tree…read moreroots on the path.

It took a bit of travel for us, slightly over an hour each way, but it was worth it! The grounds here, the trail, the surrounding river, and the playground all make for the perfect day for kids and their parents, too! The nature trail is packed well and overall very stroller-friendly, with shortcuts in case you need to cut your walk short. There are also lots of great vantage points to sit for a moment and take in the scenery, if your kids will afford you that luxury. As for the playground, this is one to remember. It is so unique, constructed out of wood and fitting right in with the natural vibe of the surrounding woods. And the added bonus is listening to the flowing current nearby while your young ones enjoy going down the fish slide, swinging, and building a fort with bamboo. Also a lot of good spots for bird watching here! Be sure not to miss the part of the trail by the gravel parking lot. That takes you to the waterfall area, and there's a spot with 4 hammocks rigged up for kicking back and enjoying! Make a plan to come visit this place on a warm, sunny day. If you like nature, you and your family will love this! And if you are a history buff, interested in environmental conservatism, or a homeschool parent, this area is a good experience and opportunity to learn about the Saxapahaw/Sissipahaw natives' life on the Haw River and the development of the hydro mill as a source of energy. This area checks boxes for spiritual wellness, educational opportunity, and physical exercise as well. Aside of that, just fun and enjoyable!

    This park is awesome!!!!!!! And definitely worth the drive. They have everything imaginable for…read morekids of all ages and it's huge! It's like a big castle clubhouse with so many things to climb, swing on, use their imagination, etc. I haven't seen a better design for a public park. The little kids playground, adjacent to the larger one, is just as wonderful. Plenty of seating and picnic tables for parents and shade in some areas, along with covered shelters. It's even handicap accessible. It's next to a little league field and has a walking path around the whole field if you enjoy walking. The only reason I give them 4 stars is because of the bathroom. They don't have a dedicated bathroom for the park, you have to walk a LONG way to the bathroom that's under the snack bar near the baseball fields. Trying to convince a toddler to leave the playground to walk that far is such a battle. If it wasn't for that I'd probably go more regularly. Winston salem needs playgrounds like this!! See for yourself and you'll agree I'm sure.

    This was such acute place to have a birthday party. They had a few tables we with bench seats on…read morethem. A playground that the children can play on. The only thing that I can issue with was the bathrooms were to fast away. Plus it was dirty, I guess it's a park and everyone uses it. But other then that cute place to have a birthday party.

    Safari nation was a HIT!…read more Truly a kids paradise-- Safari Nation has a lot to offer. Today's visit was our first. You're first struck in awe at this gargantuan structure you think they pulled straight out of Richie Rich's mansion. This place is flooded with pure entertainment for toddlers, kids, teenagers (and adults). My 2.5yr old spent quite a bit of time everywhere, to the tune of three hours. The toddler room was a great toe-dip into what would come next, allowing her to set her pace while playing with the rotating stations, alphabet blocks, the seesaw and teddy bear slide. Then came the gigantic playpen, a kids dream. Packing two separate sections, both accommodated with their own unique slide, for endless fun. Three levels of obstacles and circus-like contraptions made our play date one we can't forget. Arcade is modest, just enough to keep the younger children happy. Concession stand had plenty to offer.. we refueled ourselves with some goldfish and choose two flavors of the slushees. We had dinner plans but I would consider having a meal here. The zip line, bumper cars and VR experience looked cool but were not in operation. The staff was super friendly and attentive. We had such a great time, we're even adding them to the candidates for her next birthday party!

    This place is perfect for birthday parties or just to have some family fun. The staff are all…read morefriendly and helpful. The ambiance is fun, inviting, and kid friendly for all ages. They have a smaller area for kids who may not want to climb. It's enclosed with one entrance and exit to this area which is ideal for smaller children. The main play area is a large jungle gym/obstacle course with plenty of games, slides, zip lines, and things to climb within the course to enjoy. There are arcade games along the exterior of the walls with additional seating to watch the children play. There is a concession stand that sells all the bells and whistles (nachos with cheese, popcorn, pizza, slushy drinks, chips, candy and etc. the party rooms are super cute and spacious.

So many fun things for them to do, and very reasonably priced. Tickets were $1 each. The train and carousel took 2 tickets each. All other rides only took one ticket.

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!
