Bay View stables is not just a place to take your child or yourself to sit on a horse to sit on a…read morehorse and look pretty like a statue. Bay View Stables is an amazing place that is a family that doesn't turn horses or people away. My kids have autoimmune conditions that other places wouldn't allow them near the horses. When I called Bay View over a year ago, the owner, Christy did not hesitate and told me to bring my kids in. Not only that she actually researched my daughter's conditions and worked on a plan to help them grow and keep them safe in their riding journey. My youngest daughter is more of a casual rider but my middle daughter started competing only two months after she started her lessons and won in her class. But the best part about Bay View is that the instructors actually teach the kids and adults how to ride horses. Sometimes that I have noticed going to competitions is that the horse are like robots and I have seen the lengths that some stables will go to and I have heard about medicating horses. At Bay View a high Majority of the horses are rescues. So these horses are not perfect but they are as sweet as they can be. They love the kids and the kids love them. Some do get scared some freeze up and need their rider to give them confidence, and some need their rider to let them borrow their energy. At Bay View Stables you are truly learning to connect with the horse and ride them. My middle daughter is becoming an absolute amazing rider. That is all thanks to Mrs Christy, (the owner, head instructor and head trainer) and Ms Kayla (Instructor and assistant Trainer). Mrs Christy truly has a super power to read both her horses and her riders. She knows when to push and how to help both horse and rider grow and work as a team. Ms Kayla has one of the biggest hearts I have ever seen. The kids connect with her extremely quickly. She has a way of understanding them that most adults don't. She is very special. Mrs Christy and Ms Kayla are an amazing team together and they complement each other beautifully. If you are looking for a stable that your child is going to learn to truly ride a horse Bay View is the place to go!! There is nowhere better. Plus you get to get a true part of American heritage, the American Saddlebred is an important part of our history.

This is an ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS facility and the staff is knowledgeable, patient and so friendly. They make you feel like part of their equestrian family from the minute you arrive.

There were 3 children and 13 adults. There was something for everyone. There was a kiddie zip line, a bungee trampoline, a 200' slide, a wagon ride, a train ride, picture opportunities, and so so much more! They sold s'mores kits and had several fire pits for roasting marshmallows. The entire staff of the event couldn't have been any nicer or any more helpful to us. This was our first year going but it's definitely not our last for sure. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this. Get there early so you can enjoy the fun during daylight.

That being said, Carolina Elite Trampoline is hands-down the best we've landed at thus far, and worth every single penny. Every instructor is highly skilled, most holding State, Regional, US and/ or International medals in Trampoline & Tumbling (T&T) Gymnastics. These are the people you want training your kids, folks. Class sizes are small (currently 6 or less students per class), with multiple classes offered daily throughout the week (with the exception of Sundays). Classes are categorized as "Jumpers" (trampoline based), or "Tumblers" (tumbling based), and broken down by age groups. Classes offered are recreational, however once requisite skills are attained, students have the opportunity to try out for their elite team, which is their competitive team which travels to compete against other athletes on the State, National and International levels. I have seen my children's skills, strength and confidence explode over their time at Carolina Elite. I highly recommend this gym!

We were lined up with an instructor who clearly was bored and tired of teaching noobies how to rock climb. However, he still showed us what to do and made sure we safely did it. We came on a Saturday afternoon and had an all day pass. Keep in mind they open for non-members at 2pm. They only have 2 beginner walls which was kind of a let down, as we had to wait and take turns with other people to climb them. We were forced to learn on a harder wall to start with. All in all a great workout as my arms were gassed at the end. And it was fun to get to the top of some of those walls and look down feeling accomplished! I hope they add another beginner/intermediate wall but otherwise a great place to try rock climbing for your first time or if you are a seasoned veteran.

Baby friendly...helpful for me as I'm pregnant and have a 7 month old to chill with while the others climb. My 10 and 12 year old girls had a great time climbing. So did dad. Friendly staff, not overly involved, but helpful as needed. We spent about 2 hours there before the girls got tired. Members can climb earlier than non-members, so just know that before you go. Everyone is supportive of everyone else. It's a judgement-free climbing gym. We'll visit more often.
