I've lived in Raleigh for over 20 years and only recently discovered these delightful gardens just…read morea short drive away. There were two separate areas, the Lake Trail and the Waterfall Trail. The Waterfall Trail was more of a true trail, winding through the woods. The Lake Trail primarily looped around the lake. It would have been nice to have distance markers on the sign. There is a port a potty at the trailhead.

This was the perfect spot. I'm sure we probably weren't supposed to let him in the pond but it was his last day with us so we let him splash around the edge. The trails were still viable even given all the leaves had fallen. It was a really peaceful walk and we made great memories. There weren't people there at the time we went which I was thankful given our circumstances. Unfortunately it hadn't rained enough lately to produce the waterfall in the waterfall trail but we did get to see a little one on a different trail. If you walk the waterfall trail and get to the top, there's an intersection where you'll see lots of people carved their names in a tree. Stop by and look up, if you see JAX, that's in honor of my boy. Enjoy your fur babies, your children, and your own life, stop and smell the flowers. Take a walk on a sunny day and feel the sunshine in your face. We're only here for a short while.

On our way down to the beach and this was the best stop by far!! We stopped here (at the children's…read moremuseum) for about an hour and a half, but could have stayed for longer. Great variety of activities for our 19 month old. Very friendly staff and pretty empty on a weekday afternoon. And literally half the price of the children's museum we stopped at in Chesterfield (and this place is way better in my opinion). I think this will be a must stop for us on our way to and from the beach house!

The special exhibit was about bikes and the natural history portion was a weird mix of taxidermy and fake animals. We also checked out the art area which had a good collection by local artists and school children. Very laid back place to visit and stretch your legs, but I'm glad we didn't go out of our way to check it out.

I really enjoyed going to this race track. Although, it was dusty at times, the entertainment of a…read morecouple races proved to be the best I have seen just about all year because it was close on the last lap. The location is way out in the middle of no where and almost at the North Carolina-Virginia border. Now, this race track was not on Yelp so, I created the listing and adjusted the GPS pin accordingly. The view of the race track was great as I could see the whole race track from the main grandstands. They do have facilities with bathrooms and where you can wash your hands. I saw no tier parking at this race track. The concession stands were easily accessible with no long lines. They had pretty good food too as I got a bologna sandwich, nachos and cheese and a Pepsi. The parking was self parking as you could park anywhere on the grass. Entering and leaving the race track was easy with no traffic jams that I got into. On scene: They had a small fireworks show but nothing baffling about it.

Couldn't get the sod from our normal distributor, so we called them, arranged delivery and had it delivered to SE Virginia. With our normal farm, we lose 6-8 pieces of every pallet due to issues with quality. With Vandemark, we lost one piece out of 19 pallets! It was such high quality, with no loss that we had a lot left over due to over ordering to account for bad pieces. Driver was prompt and extremely helpful under very tight road conditions. Will definitely order from them again.

If you are looking for great comfortable accommodations, friendly staff and some of the best food you'll ever have at a hunting lodge, this is the place. Not far from Raleigh/Durham airport if you want to fly in and easy to find if you're driving. I had a successful deer hunt with many deer seen and multiple opportunities on bucks. I harvested the biggest deer of my life. I can't wait to go back. If turkey hunting is your preference, they have them in spades. I saw turkeys every day and some great long beards! Thanks again Fair Game Outfitters, it was an unforgettable week and I can't wait to return.
