Nice place to take children when it is warm out and when done, plentiful for dining to choose from and desserts afterwards. Also, you can book children's birthday parties here too.

Love it. It's the perfect place for indoor play and great for kids that are climbers. Technically…read morethe indoor playground is meant for ages 5-12 but it's not strictly enforced or monitored or anything. Just like any other park, just keep an eye on your kid and you're fine. It's air conditioned which is awesome. What a fantastic place for kids to play during the warmer days or rainy weather. Apparently it's the first rec center in Raleigh with an indoor playground and rock climbing wall. They offer a number of programs, camps, and rental options as well. They're closed on Sundays.

The GoApe staff was informative, courteous, and encouraging. I did the shorter course, and look forward to returning for the longer course.

So much fun! I had never been to a course like this and it was awesome. I went with a group of…read moreadults and kids age 12-17. Kids under a certain age (I think 15) must have an adult next to them at all times. Yes, it is expensive for adults, $58, but worth it. You start with a rather long safety presentation, but it is necessary. You are not closely supervised while on the course, which is awesome but a little scary at first. However, there are workers nearby if you ever needed to yell out a question or something. The course seems to be broken into different parts, all of which begin with a climb up a ladder and end with a zip line. Most of the time, you are walking across different kinds of rope bridges of varying difficulty. There are some areas that were super challenging for me, as someone with practically no upper body strength. But you know you are safe the entire time so it's ok if you mess up. I loved the challenge. Anyone physically healthy will probably be fine, although sore the next day. :) I wish I could do this course as a workout every day!! The course was the perfect length. I was starting to get worn out by the time it ended. Some tips -The back of your shirt and pants will get quite dirty because you'll drag on the ground when you land after the zip line. Stretchy yoga/exercise capris are good choice. Be prepared to be dirty and bring a change of clothes if you need to look presentable afterwards. -You don't wear a helmet, so you could wear a hat if you felt like it. -Definitely wear sneakers or rugged shoes, like hiking shoes. -Don't bring ANYthing on the course you don't need. Leave your phone in the car (unless you want it for taking photos, but have a way to secure it to your body.) -Don't bring water on the course because there are water cups available in a few areas. -You may find some mysterious bruises and scrapes the next day and be sore.

There is a lot of turnover among the coaches, and the quality of coaches and consistency between…read morecoaches is low. There is a clear split between the competitive teams, the Stars 'teams', and tumbling. If you are on the Stars 'team' or in a tumbling class, your children will be bumped off of the equipment, or shortchanged on time regularly because there is not enough space in the facility for the number of kids enrolled in those programs. The Office Manager, Laura, is rude, condescending, and pretends to hold all the power in the gym. She does not like hearing about any issues with the gym, facilities, or coaches. She will tell you that you are the only one who complains, that other parents do not have any concerns, or that it must be your (or your child's fault) that there is an issue. Even if your child is injured, as several of our daughter's classmates have been, there is no care from the gym, and no extra attention given to safety amongst the coaches. Laura's only concern is that you sign the contract, pay the money, and act grateful that your child has the opportunity to attend such a great gym. RSG does not hold up their end of any part of the contract. If you have a problem, there is no one to turn to. The coaches are afraid of her. There is no communication when coaches leave, and a lot of them leave. When you show up, there is just a new person leading the class. There was an email recently that no water service was available at the gym, but that classes would continue anyway. You could not use the toilets, or drink from the water fountain, but were free to purchase water from the gym. WHAT? It is really a shame, too, because it IS a nice facility, and most of the coaches really do care about the gymnasts. But the entire place is poisoned by the fact that the Office Manager is the person you need to deal with for everything else. And for some reason, she walks the floor during practice, talks with the coaches, distracts them from teaching, and makes people wait at the front desk, and never answers the phone.

We moved our daughter to RSG from another local gym about a year ago. She had competed level eight…read moreat her old gym and was very beaten down after coming off an injury coupled with extremely harsh coaching. She was hesitant to change gyms after being with her current gym for six seasons. I talked her into trying out at RSG and am so glad we moved. Ron and Megan, her coaches, have been incredible with her and have given her back her confidence. She went from a kid that could barely do bars at our old gym to a very strong competitor on bars this season. The family feel at RSG is wonderful. All the girls, whether excel or JO are treated like one big family. The girls on her team embraced her and made her feel welcome from day one. Cannot recommend this gym enough.

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.
