The indoor and outdoor arenas are well kept and the barns themselves are clean and appropriate for the high level of cleanliness and horse amenities usually only seen in much more expensive and pretentious show barns. Thete are great teachers available and lots of choices for leasing and boarding indoor and outdoor in a series of immaculately taken care of fields for turnout. Cait texts daily to let barn members know the plans and timing for turning out horses at night, if you want that for your horse. There is a cooling system and fly spraying system fitted throughout the barns. And everyone I 've met who boards there is very friendly and welcoming to new comers. It is the best of all worlds: Its a gorgeous setting on 80 acres of trails and pastures, it approachable and friendly members and staff make you immediately feel like family. And all of the horses are happy and it shows in the overall relaxed yet professionally run atmosphere.

Kari is a wonderful teacher and will work with you to meet your personal riding goals. Excellent care is provided to all the horses. Our pony has special needs due to PPID and Insulin Dysregulation, and there has never been a problem having his unique dietary and medical and turnout needs met. The staff is wonderful, caring, and very attentive. Just walk into the barn and you will immediately get a sense of how calm and happy the horses are.

Great first experience at this spot: friendly and helpful staff, good facility…read more We went as a group of 3 with the $90 staff belay option. This is a good option for beginners and if you just want to start climbing and not worry about learning belaying. Anna was so supportive and helpful. The staff member helping you really does make or break the experience. We were given the harness to step into as well as shoes that should fit snugly. Then we started at the beginner wall to get our feet wet. We moved on to a few other walls, one with an automatic belay. The climbs are marked by difficulty level so a 5.8 is harder than a 5.5, for example, based on ease, size of the holds. You follow the color of your climb basically. We all got a good workout. An hour is good because you need to rest in between climbs usually. Perhaps the instruction option for 5 people would give you more techniques but this was fine for us. The space isn't that big but we didn't feel cramped. However if it was crowded you probably would have to wait. But no problems today on a Sunday at 11:30 am. If you have workout gloves they'd probably help with callouses on the hands. We didn't try the regular free climbs. There's cubbies to put your shoes and bags and lockers in the bathroom if you have a lock. I wouldn't want to bring anything valuable in there because there's a lot going on and someone intent on mischief could have a field day... hopefully not though! They seem to offer membership options and events. No issues parking. I would come back!

It's great to have a gym on this side of the river, not only boulder/scramble but also belay. There…read moreare even some pulley systems to self belay if you don't have a buddy. Safety is #1 here, the paperwork as a first timer and the orientation was *extensive*, so carve out 10 minutes for that. They do test you on belay abilities before they let you belay someone, which includes tying knots to the harness and carabiners. If you don't pass, you can't belay someone else but you can still use the self pulley belays. There are spots to chill and regain grip strength, and the gym is pretty clean. Staff were helpful. One star less because they do not have half sizes for shoes. It motivates you to get your own but for those just getting into this sport and wanting to keep the investment to a minimum until you decide, it's not comfortable. It's a gym in the area so I'll take it. I went for a holiday deal for the day pass was $16 and shoes were $4, and they do charge for rental chalk. I honestly wouldn't go for any other pricing, so I'll be looking out for the deals to return again.

I was interested in providing entertainment for two children. The main focus was the trampolining…read more For an hour they thoroughly enjoyed themselves as I moved between areas and maintained their safety from enthusiastic other children, inappropriate props and poor choices. Overall they had a fantastic time. There was a lot to take part in which we had neither the time nor desire to do so on this visit (skating rink, pickleball, video game arcade, billiards and golf). I appreciated the age segregation as it prevented horseplay from older aged ones from harming younger children. The restrooms seemed far from the play area. It was a great source of entertainment but you have to keep a close eye on small children. My one criticism was that there were props in one of the play areas that were very heavy and could harm someone if they hit someone; they also posed a tripping hazard. They were shaped like a giant Swiss cheese wheel. Bounce is conveniently located in the Galleria Mall, so there is ample free parking.

Fine, but when I asked where because it was our first time, she just pointed generally. Not a great first impression. Multiple attractions closed. No attendee for mini golf, multiple employees walked by or just informed me I needed to wait (and no indication whether anyone was in their way, etc). Same experience again waiting for roller skates (and again when we realized we were given 2 left skates). Multiple employees had no idea what the "all day pass" was and kept asking me to buy additional tickets to things. Laser tag was running but we weren't allowed to go just the two of us - needed to wait for a bday party. (Shout out to the laser tag attendee tho - he was very kind). $10 arcade card was empty (they rectified it, but annoying to have to wait again). Arcade games ate credits or didn't have balls/etc to actually play. So many staffing/operational breakdowns, just not worth it.

Arriving there is like being transformed to a magical private barn, where one immediately feels a sense of calm that mirrors the beauty of the carefully tended grounds. Each season brings its own majesty, billowy snow white blankets the rolling hills in Winter, Spring finds the bountiful gardens budding, Summer finds seemingly endless flowers abloom against a backdrop of every green imaginable and the view of the Autumn leaves ablaze leaves visitors breathless. The acres of groomed trails are always a delight for horse and rider both as well as the carefully planned pastures for supervised turnouts and indoor and outdoor competition level dressage rings. Laura Parker's reputation precedes her and the skill, intention and focus of her decades as a Dressage rider and trainer show in every aspect of the farm. Clients and horses alike are transformed by her and her competent staff's masterful riding lessons, conscientious attention to feeding, grooming and health concerns and consistent attention to every detail. Inner Circle Farm not only offers a superior cost structure value in training and boarding, its values of compassionate training and correct physical development for the Dressage horse and rider are apparent from the first moment one arrives.
