There's a ninja course, rock climbing, zip line, ropes course, and huge slides. And the best part is that it's all included in the ticket price! No annoying up-charges.

The price can seem a bit high, but it is worth the quality and amount you are getting.

There are two huge slides to ride on, which are both scary and fun. There's an aerial aspect where you can do obstacles on a mounted system. You're tied to a pole so definitely safe but still terrifying if you slip! Just tons of fun. Perfect for a date or with kids.

It all started when I went to an event, Cocktails & Cosmonauts, at the Museum of Life and Science…read more They had a station where you could screen print your own poster with the event's logo, so I hightailed it over there. When it was my turn, the screen printing pro and I chatted about team building events. I grabbed a card and reached out the very next day. After explaining what I had in mind (a workshop for my running group so that we could print some t-shirts), I was handed over to Lenny at Hey Monkey! Lenny was so easy to work with. He understood that organizing these things is akin to herding cats, so he set everything up to be as smooth and painless as possible. And then there was the actual event. It was so much fun! Woo-woo warning: I don't know exactly what was going on, but my group brought some really negative energy into Lenny's studio. Fortunately, Lenny just carried on, kept his upbeat attitude, and (most) everyone had an amazing time! It's been less than a week and I'm pretty sure everyone has worn their shirts at least once. I'm hoping to do it again for the folks I work with!

In fact, with anyone other than Lenny at the helm, I suspect it would have. Lenny was great-calm, cool, and collected. The vibe at his studio is excellent and his teaching style both friendly and approachable. Highly, highly recommended. As a post-script, I saw 4 of the shirts Lenny helped us print in the wild last evening. They looked awesome.

Eleatta provided an atmosphere free from the need to be perfect which enabled artistic expression. One of my friends wanted to be more detail oriented and Eleatta provided one-on-one tips to her, while another friend wanted to be more expressive and abstract, which Eleatta also encouraged. The night was such a joy-- my friends and I were able to talk and also had a place set up with a great atmosphere to enjoy and relax right away. Thank you, Eleatta!

I joined a party with about 12 people total; Eleatta had the canvasses and paints all set up (with some wine and sweets, too!); she took a painting she had already created and broke it down into manageable steps. She gave plenty of leeway for adding our own style and expression while providing the solid basis to producing a masterpiece by night's end. Tons of fun. Highly recommended :)

Since moving it to Northgate, they are able to leverage the convenient parking as well as plenty of space for the various nonprofits, sponsors, and vendors. Not to mention the big soundstage and the kids festivities area they've introduced. The coolest thing about this event is seeing all the varied Triangle nonprofits come together in one place, and raise money/support/awareness for their cause. But the race itself is not bad. The course has changed somewhat, but it generally loops somewhere around the Watts-Hillandale neighborhoods. They have good on-course support, with cops monitoring traffic, volunteers signaling the turns, and a water stop or two. LOVED the post-race Core Power milk drinks. I was in a hurry to get to an appointment, so wasn't able to check out the rest of the race food, or the after-party. But I love participating in this event and hope it sticks around for another 20 years -- or more!

The nice drizzle kept us cool; only thirty minutes of running and afterward we all looked like champions. Out and about on this race were Durhamites and other Triangle residents of all ages, shapes, and sizes. I am pretty sure I got beat by a little kid running in basketball shoes. (Little dude was fast!) Along the course were tons of nearby residents cheering us all on, not that we necessarily need it during such a short race, but it was nice to experience that strong sense of community. The post-run entertainment was such a great time! The Divas 'n Dude, a troupe of cheerleaders in their golden years, rocked it with their impressive dance routines to catchy tunes. This was followed by a dance-off of sorts, featuring the Electric Slide and the Cupid Shuffle. Tons of freebies and info were available at exhibitors' booths there on site---the Yelp booth in particular was bumpin'; everyone wanted a chance to win a swag bag!---and the Kona Chameleon truck was there to provide us with delicious ice coffee. YUM. Then we had our team photo snapped to commemorate the day, before heading off about our respective days.
