The people running this function are always so friendly and helpful. Lots of smiles. The location itself has parking right across the street but it isn't busy at all. Covered because of the bus terminal and super accessible. The box office had out tickets and we scanned in with the gentleman waiting at the bottom of the stairs. Concession was open with beer, wine, soft drinks and snacks. I grabbed a moscato and a couple bottles of water. The film festival is almost 2 hours long. Beautiful and amazing. Comes once a year. You really need to try it.

We had great seats, and the sound system was clear. Parking: We didn't realize there was a parking garage across from the venue. We followed other cars into a lot just before we the venue. There was no charge at the time but it was difficult getting out. Pretty much like any parking lot after an event.

As a graduate of High Point Central High School, I made many visits to the High Point Athletic…read moreComplex as a student and fan of the HPC Black Bison football and soccer teams. Both of my older sisters also went to HPC. One of them was a cheerleader and got injured in a fall during a routine at Simeon Stadium here. I remember my parents and I were eating dinner at the buffet at Quincy's on Westchester Drive when it happened. The High Point Athletic Complex consists of the Ed Price Baseball Field (500-650 seats), eight soccer fields (the biggest one with 600 seats), a track and football field (1,500 seats), a multipurpose practice field, and A.J. Simeon Stadium (10,000-15,000 seats). The latter is home to both the Central and crosstown rival T. Wingate Andrews football teams. The City owns and operates the entire complex, except Simeon Stadium, through its Parks & Rec department. Guilford County Schools owns and operates Simeon Stadium so the football stadium is technically not city property. We made headlines my freshman year at Central because the kicker on our football team was female: Snow Brenner. She went on to play soccer for Duke and is now an orthopedic surgeon. Her younger brother, Wich, was my year (class of 2000) and he was the kicker our senior year when we won the North Carolina 2-A state championship. Central went 15-0 that year (1999). Wich went on to kick for Texas Tech. The year prior to winning the state championship, I recall the disappointing playoff loss we suffered at home to eventual champion Shelby. The year we graduated, the team we beat to win the state championship, Southwest Onslow, won the title. During that time, the PA announcer at Simeon Stadium was Larry Craven. I recognized his voice because he was the news director at 1230 AM WMFR (High Point). Simeon Stadium on Friday nights in the fall was the place to be for high school football. I took one of my cousins from California, who was visiting colleges on the East Coast at the time, to a football game here and she loved it. Parents liked to get tipsy in the parking lot/field too. I'm glad I got to experience it and I still like to tell people how my high school won the state championship in football my senior year. As for HPC soccer games, my friends and I had too much fun, especially with the opposing teams; Lexington City Schools being among them. Shenanigans were had and I'll leave it at that. :) Note: Depending on where you look, the seating capacity numbers for the complex's facilities can vary which is why I have some ranges listed above.

The carousel was a fun experience to close our visit. My nephew also enjoyed the outdoor play areas. There were Christmas themed activities throughout the day, to include a Grinch Slime activity in the steam lab and crafting snow globes in the art studio. There's a game room with an air hockey table, basketball, as well as other games. It was a nice trip, I'm sure we will be back to enjoy more of what this location has to offer. I noticed they do have a cafe and seating area to dine, if you want to explore the menu while visiting. There is a private parking lot for this location.

Four out of the 10 had bikes, so after getting them off the train they either carried them up the area (a good number) or used the elevator. Once you're at street level, you're on the main road in downtown High Point. We didn't step into the station until we were boarding to go back, but the interior is lined with hardwood and they've preserved the old time feel and look with the floors, walls and even the ticket counters. There was no attendant inside when we were there, and you have to get the restroom unlocked. The boarding platform is very long and has benches lining it. Before heading downstairs, take in the view of the skyline.

However, after getting past that, I was excited to take advantage the discounted Tuesday tickets. I went to see Wicket: For Good, and the process of entering the theater, visiting concessions, and finding our seats was solid. The screen size was big and the volume of the movie was loud, but not excessive. I was also happy with the comfy reclining chairs. A couple of detractors included, 1- the reclining chairs were a little beat up; 2- there were a lot of commercials (in addition to some previews, which are welcome) shown before the movie, the lobby is small and there really wasn't much of a place to wait before entering the theater. Overall my experience was good. They have membership programs, which are definitiely a good value for frequent visitors. For an infrequent visitor, like myself, the Tuesday discount was perfect!

Recently, they have added a full clay studio. Shows normally run for one to two months. Most of the shows are typically of local or regional artists in the main gallery.

There is also parking available near the corner of Lindsay and English Road. Open only during the week from 12noon - 5pm does make it a bit tough to enjoy but there are times they are open later due to classes or show receptions.

The first was a craft beer festival in the spring, and it was a great outdoor venue for walking around and casually sampling many different beers. Our second visit was to see a Larry Fleet concert, and again was a great experience. It is small enough to feel like an intimate show, but large enough to not feel crowded despite a strong turnout. Alcohol pricing is perfectly reasonable and with a capable bar, and it's nice having food trucks. Add to that nearby free parking and easy entry, and what's not to love for a concert venue?? On a cold October night, we really appreciated having the fire pits burning not only for the warmth but also that wonderful smoky smell that fits the season. It's really nice having a decent venue so close to home, and I'm trying to remember to check their website more often for upcoming events.

I'm not mad, but I'm not thrilled. Ziggy's has had a lot of history, and I like the current space…read more There is a lot of room, which is laid out nicely for concerts. It's outdoors, so there is good and bad with that. You can be rained out, and it can be quite hot, but for the most part it works and is flexible. We went to a concert and the sound was fine, but I don't think that is necessarily Ziggy's fault anyway. There were separate areas for purchasing drinks. I do think they need to change the way the drink lines work because they were loooong and some lines were only half-staffed. The staff running the place were super friendly and really busting it. Overall, they've got a nice space and a bunch of nice people working for them. At this point, it's all just minor tweaks.

The High Point Museum is located in High Point, NC, the Home Furnishings Capital of the World…read more The museum has two parking areas, my gps took me to the lower parking area but the parking area directly in front of the museum would be easier for anyone with mobility issues. Admission to the museum is free but they take donations or you can make a purchase in the gift shop. I was greeted when I arrived and told about filming going on at the time. I was given an overview of the museum and then went to explore. The museum is a large one that is on two levels and has an elevator if you prefer not to use the stairs. The top floor covered the history of High Point with detailed storyboards and artifacts. A school bus could be gotten on and "driven". A room near the back had miniature houses that was neat to look at all the details. The lower level of the museum was mostly about the furniture. This was my favorite part of the museum to read and see what goes into make the furniture from start to finish. The tools used to create the designs. I was impressed. I could see inside the chair cushion and how the springs were put in. The last room in the lower level had a history of guns. Make sure to check out the gift shop for treasures before you leave. I got some items made right there by the welder. Just an FYI: The outside buildings at the museum are just open on Saturdays. So I will make sure to return on a Saturday.
