Theaters are kind-of a mixed bag these days. You have some that are run down and some that are…read moretrying to be super-high-end... but rarely is there anything thats nice and in between. I think that's why the Galaxy Theaters in Monroe shines. Every time I go here, I go when it's fairly quiet (like... 3:00-5:00 during the week). I usually see kids movies or kid-friendly moves... with kids. So, thats my lens, here. Parking is insanely huge and you will have zero issues. The only edge-case is that the Monroe Farmers market (and some other random events and stands) use this gigantic parking lot. Again... it's gigantic and it overflows into other gigantic parking lots... You'll be fine. Buying tickets -- you can buy them online, from a real-life human, or from a self-serve kiosk just inside the main doors. We've had issues with the kiosk thing in the past, and the online system charges you a fee ($2.50 per ticket), so we usually order at the human. They no longer user the windows inside the first door, and you have to go in to the second doors to buy tickets. Not sure what that's about - the old way made more sense to me... but it's whatever. Maybe it's an off-hours thing, too... who knows. Oh, one cool thing about their website, though, is you can pick your seats ahead of time and see how full shows are. Solid intel. The concession stand is very well stocked and always has enough people - you have the usuals: popcorn and candy... drinks: soda, icees, etc... and alcohol (beer, bottles, and mixed drinks)... ice cream... hot stuff (pretzels, pizza, nachos...). It's solid. They've always given me good service - it's quick, efficient, and clean... they get you moving and try not to let long lines occur. The theaters are nice and always surprisingly clean. I don't think I've ever had that "sticky feet" experience where you walk through some old soda spill. So... it's good. We often choose to go to the theater that has the big red, electric recliner chairs. This is a nice little comfort and well spread out - that just makes the experience extra good. I think they have multiple screens with the recliners and if I understand correctly, only the "DFX" and "DBOX" experiences are more expensive. DFX... I've never really paid attention to the difference, and I've never done DBOX. Generally, prices are: Matinees -- $13.25 for adult, $10.00 for child/senior... Evening -- $15.50 for adult, $12.50 for child/senior... and then the "premium experiences" (or whatever you'd call them) are $3.50 more for DFX and $8.00 more for DBOX. Then, like I said... $2.49 more for the service charge if you order online (yikes! not a fan).

I came here with my parents the other day to do some strawberry picking while they were visiting…read more We all had a great time and got some delicious strawberries! The parking lot for pickers is just north of the address on Yelp but they had plenty of signs that made it easy to find. You have to go down a gravel road to get there so keep that in mind if you don't want your car getting dirty. They had quite a few rows of strawberries for picking, and had 4 different varieties available. We also saw some apple trees where the apples were growing for picking in the fall and some peach trees. They also have veggies to pick but we didn't walk that far back. A lot of the strawberry plants had been pretty picked over but still had plenty of fruit if you pulled up the leaves and looked. We ended up picking about 3 lbs of fruit to take home. The fields are super dusty so make sure to wear sneakers you don't care about because they will get covered in dirt. We enjoyed a relaxing time picking berries and enjoying the beautiful views. I will definitely be back with my husband and daughter to enjoy picking some more fruit.

As soon as we turned onto the dirt path, a breeze rolled through the front strawberry field and…read moreswept into the car. The scent hit us--warm, sweet, and sun-soaked and in that instant, we knew we were exactly where we were meant to be. No one can convince me there's a better smell on this planet than fresh strawberries in the summer breeze. Not rain, not bread, not even raspberries--though those came in close second. Bailey's Farm is a dream. My mom and I spent the afternoon picking strawberries and raspberries together, surrounded by blooming fields and buzzing bees. The strawberries were bright red, perfectly ripe, and so fragrant it felt like walking through a natural perfume. That smell alone could heal your entire nervous system. The raspberries were generous and delicious too, but it was the strawberries that made time stop. We picked slowly, laughed often, and let the wind guide us from row to row. It wasn't just a farm--it was a pause button in the middle of our road trip, and a memory I'll hold close forever. The only thing that could use improvement is the parking lot. The entrance and exit are one-way, but it's not clearly marked. It's a small detail, but clearer signage would make arrival smoother. Still, nothing compares to stepping out of the car and into that scent. Bailey's Farm gives you more than berries--it gives you a reason to breathe deeper. And I already can't wait to go back.
