I assumed it wasn't free for kids to play but since I wasn't 100% sure, I was not shocked to see that it's $12 for the first kid and $10 for siblings. Plus, they have snacks and other options for purchase as well! Then play area has a spot for crawlers and little ones who are just starting to walk and then a spot for bigger kiddos. We had the place to ourselves since we went on a week day afternoon just a few hours before closing! Would certainly recommend this play as somewhere to check out! Amazing service as well!

There's also a small selection of hot food (personal pizza, egg and cheese sandwich). It's $10/kid for unlimited play.

I wish they were open more on weekends, but that's when they host birthday parties ‍

We stopped by Concorde while celebrating our wedding, and the experience was wonderful from the…read moremoment we arrived. The hostess was very accommodating, personally walked us to our seats, and the staff remembered that we were celebrating. They surprised us with two complimentary glasses of Prosecco, which were crisp, clean, and delicious. That thoughtful gesture alone meant so much to us. Afterward, I ordered an Old Fashioned, and my husband ordered the guava margarita. We couldn't stop laughing when the drinks arrived because everyone naturally assumed the margarita was mine and the Old Fashioned was his--but we like to switch things up! Both drinks were delicious. I'm particular about Old Fashioneds and whiskey sours. When one is made properly, there is a certain aroma that lets me know before I even taste it--and this Old Fashioned absolutely passed my personal test. It was perfectly made and strong enough that, after the Prosecco, I knew one was all I needed if we were going to walk into dinner with some sense! The aviation-inspired atmosphere made the experience even better. My husband is a pilot, so he especially enjoyed the Concorde theme, the aircraft-window views, and the simulation that made it feel as though the plane was moving and landing. The ambiance, drinks, and hospitality were all excellent. Thank you to the staff for remembering our celebration and making us feel special. The next time we're in Wilmington--or anywhere nearby--we will definitely stop in again!

I really wanted to love Concorde Express Bar because I had heard so much hype about it, but…read moreunfortunately, it didn't quite live up to my expectations. The scenery and atmosphere are definitely cute and make for some great pictures, but the overall experience was a little disappointing. We visited during the summer and got the s'mores kit, which sounded like it would be so much fun, but unfortunately, the little fire they brought out didn't work, so we couldn't even enjoy it. Their most famous drink was also not good at all. The only drink I really enjoyed was the watermelon drink, which came with a popsicle in it--that was actually pretty cool! The prices were extremely high for what we got, although that seems to be pretty common at a lot of places in Wilmington. I'd be willing to give it another chance during the winter because I could see the atmosphere being much better then. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive, though, and definitely deserves some credit! Overall, I just left feeling pretty disappointed because I expected more based on all the hype.

He said the sandwich was a little dry. We were the only ones in the cafe. The tables need to be cleaned to remove the stickiness that gets left behind when you only swipe a table with a cloth.

I discovered this gem last time I was stationed here and it was consistently the best place I went to for wine. They always made my daughter and dog feel very welcome whenever I brought them along. And the wine is unlike anything I've tasted. I've toured wineries in Temecula and this is the only place where I'll easily come home with a case of wine. The gift baskets are amazing too. I watched it grow and expand over the course of three years and the quality of service remained amazing. I am happy to see the winery survived COVID-19 where many small businesses went under. Very excited to come back to this place and its employees!

My Mr and his mom wanted to take me to a winery. They mentioned Huffman's and couldn't wait to go…read morebecause of the great reviews on yelp and google. Went on a Wednesday afternoon and it wasn't packed but they had quite a few customers. We called beforehand on the facility being dog friendly and they are! Bonus!! We were greeted right away. The owner was knowledgeable, down to earth and took the time to explain each wine tasting. For $10.00 you get to choose 10 wine tastings from the dry, semi sweet, and sweet section. We chose mainly drys and 3 from the semi sweets. Our tasting: -Porch Time (Viognier) -Sunny Days (Seyval Blanc) -Southern Exposure (Riesling) -Sauvignon Blanc -Fire Side Red (Blend of Norton, Syrah, Malbec) -Legacy Red (Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot) -Legacy Blend (Cabernet Franc & Merlot) -Carolina Sunshine (Green Apple Riesling) -Summer Nights (Blueberry Pinot Noir Blend) -Miley Creek Red (Best served room temperature for semi sweets- wine using cocoa nibs) My fave was the Legacy Red and the Sunny Days that I had to bring home two bottles. Plus I purchases the Summer Nights for our neighbors as a gift. All at a reasonable price! If you are not a wine drinker and just tagging along, they do serve beer (not on tap). Mainly domestic bottles. They also sell local cheese and crackers. Connected to the winery is a gift shop full of cute decor, T-shirts and gift ideas. I really loved the patio and the screen porched area where you can enjoy your wines. Landscape is gorgeous that you can see the vineyards from where you are sitting. The inside is spacious and has a laid back feel. On weekends they have events with food trucks so check the schedule. 10% on half case of wines 20% for a case They do ship to most states. What a wonderful experience! I highly recommend you check out this place. You will not be disappointed. Hopefully we will back again next year when we visit My Mr's parents again.

We drove up the narrow lane, pulled into the small lot, and out came some wonderfully bounding dogs full of friendliness. Our hosts quickly took them inside (our dog was happy to see them from the car but the barking was a little much from him!), and we went inside for a delightful tasting. This isn't Napa, or Paso Robles - we're from California - but these are delicious wines, and we loved them. There's a great selection of locally made jams, which we stocked up on for friends, but it was the home-iness and kindness that we liked the most. We started as customers, and left - laden with wine that we've enjoyed - as friends!

This is truly a "mom and pop" shop. It is located about a mile out of Oriental (a hamlet) behind…read morean old cemetery. We sampled several: the Norton (light red and extremely dry), mead, Coastal white (semi-dry), blackberry and blueberry. Both the berry wines are young but fruity. One should not compare this to French or Napa wines. All of the Neuse River Winery wines are simple, straight forward. They are drinkable. The coastal white pairs well with cheeses, fish or chicken. The two berry wines can be used as dessert wines. I was pleasantly surprised by how little after taste was detected. In the backroom I saw 5-gal carboys, 15 to 55-ga SS tanks. There are no oak barrels for secondary fermentation. I suppose these fruits are not ideal for malolactic fermentation. The wife has a quilt business and sells local products such as oil paintings, wine glasses, fruit jams and twinklets. Both husband and wife are simple people who are turning their hobbies into income producing activities. They were very hospitable. Don't expect bold wines or complex wines. The small quiet village is picturesque. It is about 28 miles from New Bern and 9 miles to the Cherry Branch Minnesott ferry terminal. Today the village had very few visitors. I plan to return to explore in the summer when more tourists are here. UPDATE: Don't buy any wine. They cannot be stored. Fermentation continued in these bottles leading to CO2 build-up and explosion. One bottle exploded on my dining room rack, spraying blueberry juice all over one wall, the rack, my dining room furniture and the hardwood floor. I have revised my rating to 1 star.

In keeping with my string of world's largest, Duplin Winery, in Rose Hill, NC, is the World's…read morebest-selling muscadine winery and the oldest winery in North Carolina. It opened back in 1972 and has been family-owned for three generations. Their wines are typically made from muscadine and scuppernong grapes. I learned that they also carry Mothervine Wine, which comes from clippings of the 400-year-old vine in Roanoke Island. Duplin Winery was allowed to take clippings from this Mother Vine and established a new vineyard. Legend suggests the vine may have been planted by Croatan Native Americans or settlers of the Lost Colony. Scuppernong grapes are a white muscadine variety that is North Carolina's official state fruit. Duplin Winery is also known as the winery of the South. There is a large parking lot. The building's exterior looks rustic. Inside, you will be greeted when you enter the door. Remember to get your basket or cart, as it is difficult to carry items without one. The first room has the wines and food products. They had a section for sampling the dips, salsas, crackers and other items. The other room has the wine tasting and gift shop. Then, beyond that, there is the Bistro. I was delighted to find non-alcoholic wines. They offered Muscadine cider, Scuppernong (white), and Muscadine (red). I left with all three. While I didn't get to try the specific Mothervine wine, I did get to try the Alcohol-Free Scuppernong at the Bistro, which features the same historic state fruit variety that made the Mother Vine famous! The gift shop has items to find those perfect gifts or just something for yourself. From the rustic charm to the friendly greeting at the door, Duplin Winery truly lives up to its reputation as the 'Winery of the South.' It's a great stop for the history, the gifts, and the delicious sweet treats.
