I go here pretty often to get my evening walks in! The stadium is always clean and the track is…read moregreat to walk on. I was surprised by the amities such as the clean on site bathrooms and trash cans to throw away water bottles etc. this area is pretty big too with nice sized basketball courts and a small playground. There's also a library and a football field in the middle of the track. I recently discovered this complex has baseball fields and a longer walking trail. It's important to note the track hours are 6am-10pm but I would be mindful of possible events etc. for time changes I always love coming here! Would totally recommend!

I took my 8 year old son to meet up with friends and they had a blast! We stayed for 3 hours and could have easily enjoyed playing for longer but it was already well past their bedtimes. I got to meet the owner (Ryan) and inquired about the character mural on the wall -- turns out he and a friend designed and painted it themselves! How cool! I didn't snap photos of the snack bar but there is one! Chips, cookies, fountain drinks, canned beers & ciders all for sale.

More areas where you can sit and lounge while the kids play and super organized parking. Lots of fresh air and space to spread out enjoy. More vendors who sold yummy treats like pops and kono ice. Our family had a ball and it will go down as one my favorite memories this year. It wasn't crowded when we went which made it more enjoyable. We didn't have to wait in line because they kept things moving at a good speed. Workers were just the sweetest humans on earth who helped my elderly father on and off the wagon. Loved that they had smaller pumpkins this year for toddlers and small children to pick up. There was also a tiny train ride. I really do hope they can lengthen the time frame past October into a week or two in November. If you go to only one patch in October let it be Helena Hallow though. Huge tip! Be sure to wear comfy shoes that can get dirty. It's a farm so there's lots of mud. It's hilly so wear comfy tennis shoes or boots. Definitely keep the heels and sandals at home. Also they seem to allow water bottles so bring one if you spend a whole day out here.

The Father's Day weekend train ride for dads and father figures was an amazing experience. First of…read moreall, if you have reserved any train ride, please leave extra early. The I-65 traffic is intense. Our 1:00pm departure was delayed by ten minutes to allow extra time for guests to board. There are plenty of train cars to choose from - open air or air conditioned. We opted for the open air to get the full experience. It was about an hour and half ride RT. We got a great view of the neighboring golf course and a local vineyard. The gift shop carries awesome train themed gifts as well as local Alabama themed gifts. The train depot house a small exhibit about the history of rail. There is a neat video on the Louisville & Nashville lines that used to run through Birmingham. A must see in the area.

My husband and I attended the Mardi Gras Bourbon and Beignets event. While it was an enjoyable…read morenight out, it certainly did not exactly meet our expectations. We were under the impression this was a more formal event due to the advertising & description on the website. We felt very overdressed... We were about 15-20 minutes late boarding the train. The power then went out on the train, which really wasn't an issue considering it was cool outside thankfully. It was a very short ride to the winery. When we arrived at Ozan Winery, the tables were preset (picture attached) the food had been sitting there for only God knows how long... It was a small portion of crawfish etouffe, and a small slice of a muffuletta. the etouffe was so cold from sitting there so long it was like it had been refrigerated. that was so disappointing... the sandwich was fine. then there was a bag of chips.. The wine tasting in itself was nice, but it felt very rushed due to the train being late. We barely had finished the tasting by the time she was pouring the next one in our glass... The star of the show. the bourbon & beignets... the bourbon was.. well. bourbon. but the beignets looked and tasted as if they had been taken out of a little debbie package. so disappointing... it was not even comparable to a true beignet. tasted more like a twinkie with grape jelly in it... Overall the experience felt very cheap and thrown together. We expected a more sophisticated experience.

The location has moved from Alabaster, AL to Pelham, AL. The new location is "cozy" and even with the worst seat in the house (there really isn't one), you'll feel as though you could step forward a few feet and be right in the middle of the set. The play I recently attended was great. The cast was very well rehearsed and the sound, lighting, and props were all done very nicely. The play ran about two and a half hours, including intermission, for only $16 a ticket; $13 for seniors and they sometimes have an $11 matinee. My two thumbs are definitely up!
