Olive Branch Park is a wonderful place, and we are lucky it to have in our fair little town…read more I have spent a ton of time here over the past twenty years. From park slides and swing days with the kids when they were little, to adventures in the wooded trail in the hidden areas, softball games, Pokemon Go days, to parades, 4th of July celebrations, the list goes on and on. I've probably walked 500 miles or more on these trails. The trails around the park are fantastic. You meet so many great people on any trek around the park. They keep the ponds stocked well with fish and there is a dock that takes you out to the middle of the largest pond. Please pay attention to the catch limits though. There is a dog park, many covered pavilions, grills to use for cooking, a very cool, all inclusive playground for the kids, and tons of baseball fields. They do Christmas lights around the Holidays that are pretty. The police presence is always pretty high. There is usually a cop in the park at all times and they do not play if you step out of line here. I dig that. We are very lucky to have this safe space for all families to visit and have fun.

We love all parts of this park and come here often. My dogs love the dog park and walking around…read morethe lake. I enjoy a nice stroll through the park. It's beautiful, clean, large. Lots of variety throughout the park. Everything one could want in a park.

Let me be the first to say how much we enjoyed the fall festival today. There are 18,500 acres…read morehere, and I'm guessing about 30 acres for the festival. There was such a large turnout today, but there was plenty of room for people to run around. You start off by parking in a large field where you are transported back and forth by school bus. There are police helping the traffic in and out and parking attendants to make the parking move smoothly. Then there are trucks and golf carts that will help people from their cars to and from the busses. The parking attendant recognised our handicap tag and directed us toward a designated parking field near the grounds. Then once in the field, there are golf carts and a tractor wagon to help people get around. I was disappointed to see that the canons were at another event, but the civil war guys were there doing stories, answering questions, demonstrating and firing the muzzel loaders. General Grant and Greirson were telling civil war stories. Lots of vendors. Everything homemade from quilts, clothes, bird houses, to jellies and honey. Lots of food trucks and plenty of room to eat in the fire station. Live music, demonstrations, history, and education for the kids to learn about daily life during the old days. Ames is owned by a trust from the family that owned it and is dedicated to preservation of its history. They have archaeology digs with colleges and study and manage the wildlife habitat. There are several cemeteries and much research has been done regarding those who occupied the area. There are programs for hunting deer, quail, and coyotes. At least that's what I gathered from their site. We live close by and go every year, and are no strangers to a rural setting, but it is great for kids who love to get away from the city for a day. Some of the vendors that return each year are kettle fried popcorn which I have not tried, fresh ice cream made as it is served, and fresh made pork rinds that they make while you wait. This is some advice, and not a complaint: the lines for any type of food tend to be really long and consume much of the day. All of the sales tents, however, have little to no wait to shop, browse, or buy, and all of the vendors are very friendly and more than willing to talk. Advise for the long lines: by using multiple people to wait in multiple lines, they can buy for each other simultaneously. Also, don't make the mistake we did by postponing purchases for the reason of not having to carry your goods around. They do sell out and you may leave empty handed. We did not arrive until noon because of cool morning weather and left almost five. That's five hours and we were only able to see about half of what was there. Another tip, it is to your advantage to go in a large group so that you can split into groups with different interests. I say this because there is not enough time to do everything, and if you are a family that sticks together the whole time, everyone will spend a lot of time doing something they didn't want to. The 2015 weather turned out great, but last year was muddy and wet from having rained so much. The turnout was less than half for the event, it was muddy, but they did waive the small entrance fee. It's impossible to expect the weather to cooperate every year on the same day without the ability to reschedule the day, so it is hit and miss. We will see you again next year, weather permitting.

LOVE this place! We have been for a school reward field trip, a birthday party and a team building…read moreevent with my office. Easily accessible and plenty of parking right behind the main library. The employees are polite. They have vending machines for drinks/snacks & lockers to store your things in. It is like CMOM for teens and adults in my opinion. Lots of physical, mental and intellectual games each in their own little space where some are for singles, some 2 players, some 4 etc. Plenty of things to keep both kids and adults busy for hours. Great to bring out of town guest for a day of fun together. Highly recommend! A+ Can't wait to go again. So excited about Spooktacular event certain nights in October. There is an additional fun filled spook themed event in the back you can go to for $20 or $40 with the Amuze visit included. Perfect fall/ holiday fun inside.

This was my boyfriend and I's first time here as a fun date and it was so much fun! We booked a 2…read morehour time slot and it was just enough time to do almost every single one. They have so many different games to do. The games range from physical, mental to skill and some games have a mix of 2 or all three. I recommend wearing something like athletic wear so you can move around in, I wore leggings and a shirt since it also gets a bit hot. Also wear comfy shoes since you have to be in closed toed shoes! You can most definitely come In a group of 4 and do teams. The staff was also inviting as well when we came in and when we were leaving. This is a must try if you've never been

For the Kingdom hosted the City of Memphis Family Fun and Fitness Day. This location was excellent…read more Acres of green grass and a cool pool to enjoy. Everything was free. There was a health fair here as well. Rock climbing, zip lines, bouncers, and game trucks. Theme Bouncers for the little ones. Arts and crafts too. Food trucks and ice cream trucks. Vendors every where with handouts and family information. Police and firefighters demonstrators. Helped make this fest inviting and welcoming. Everything was organized and well planned. Check-In was fast and quick. Great job well done this year with theFamily Fun And Fitness Day 2019.

I visited For the Kingdom as part of a business retreat/team building day. I wasn't expecting…read moremuch, but the usual in the woods let's problem solve together type of activities. It ended up being pretty awesome and is a place I'd suggest other consider for team building events. The activities we did were new to me and varied in their level of interaction, physical effort and need for detailed thinking. In all they were quite entertaining. We also did some individual activities such as rock climbing and zip lining, which allowed us to push our personal boundaries in addition to challenging our boundaries in group settings. The staff was awesome - always helpful and cheerful, but not in an obnoxious way. There is a lake, basketball court, indoor meeting facility, pool, game room, and awesome patio with rocking chairs. Far exceeded expectations!
