Had a great time with my 6 and 9 year old kids last week during "dad camp". The Fulton library has…read morea free pass you can check out for up to 4 people which is great but it is otherwise affordable. I would budget at least 2 hours here or as many as 3 if your kids are going to interact with the butterflies and the turtles and do the scavenger hunt as mine did. The indoor exhibit is small but charming and there are a few native species around. The downstairs education center also does a scavenger hunt every month which is really cool. They've done an amazing job of "gamifying" nature/science learning with their points based rewards system and natural objects exchange. We learned a lot about butterflies and caterpillars on our quest. The points thing goes a long way to motivating little ones that may be more skeptical about "learning" experiences and museums. But if you have kids who are more active and will walk, the variety of local trails contained within the nature center is quite nice. I would recommend coming here for adults without kids too for this reason. I heard there were little fairy houses somewhere too here but. I didn't see them. We saw the beaver, a variety of different birds including hawks and owls, and tons of other local animals. It was cool to see how intentional the design was of the outdoor sections and the map they give you at the gift shop/ticket counter is helpful. I also like how they have lots of play areas built in outside for kids to explore in a less structured way. They also have some nice picnic spots. Staff were friendly and helpful. "Feeding" (with the little sugar sticks) the butterflies was fantastic. Even on a hot summer day, I'm super glad we came and if it wasn't so far from where I lived I would attend more regularly/become a member.

It is impossible to visit during the summer months it is just wicked hot and no real place to escape once you start exploring. I'm looking forward to the cooler weather so we can visit again! There is a ton to see and plenty of space to get all the energy out. It really is a beautiful property and I love that it connects to the boardwalk with a walkway! The animals are cute! The beavers are a favorite in our house!

DO NOT let previous reviewer Amber E. mislead you. I am greatly insulted by Amber E's insinuation…read morethat I am the owner of stremhq and that the owner would write their own positive review. The owner would have no need to write such a review because they run an excellent and fun coding program that parents would be happy for their kids to attend and praise highly. I am the previous reviewer Amber E is referencing and I am a real parent and long time yelper with over 250 reviews (vs her 2 negative reviews). Her lack of specifics is highly suspect and perhaps the work of a competitor. Amber E is probably trying to reduce the ratings of a good small business that provides a great computer coding program for the kids. I stand by everything I have said in my review of stremhq. I am in no way even related to the owner of stremhq. I just know we had a great experience with the programs at stremhq vs the other computer coding programs we have attended this summer. Please let's keep Yelp honest and truthful for all.

For being a place for creative oulets, you'd think they'd pick a more creative name than....The Art…read morePlace. But honestly I don't blame them. I think this place has been around since forever, right behind the Mountain View Library. They offer painting, sketching, clay, theatre, and music classes; I tend to find that it's more theatrics than actual drawing classes offered. I've stayed away from acting and music, but they have productions and dinner&shows every season for the public to go to, at $5-$15 per show. The classes are great- but it really depends on your class, really. I've only taken painting, portraiture, and clay, and clay was the worst of them all. Enjoyable? Yes. Would I do it again? No. I don't even remember the instructor's name. My only quip is that for each class, the fees never seem to end. Registration (late or early), actual class fees, baking fees, and oh, the -supplies-! The supplies list never ends, I swear. For pencil portraiture, I thought you bring a pencil and eraser, and a pad. False, it's like 20 different types of pencils, graphite, special erasers left and right, specially bound pads, tissue paper, paper stubs, special ink pens and tips, and oh my god, these things cost a fortune! I just want to draw! Ahem, anyway, the painting guy was ok, but the star of the show is Kip Rogers- after all these years (it's been like 10), I still remember how well he taught his classes and I want to go back, even if this place is about a solid 45 minute drive from where I live now. His class is 95 for first timers and 70 for returners. At that price, it's a freaking steal! (Well, at least for that class....) The Art Place is a special place to me- back when I still drew all over the place, I had been able to be part of some of the shows there, and I appreciated that. You could always walk in and see art from the locals. After all these years, the many of the artists teaching there are still there. Now on to convincing the boyfriend to take these classes with me....

I originally enjoyed being a member here. However, due to what I consider shady busy practices,…read moreI've moved on. Firstly, you don't send out an email 33 days before the new year to tell your members you're raising rates when they have 30 days to cancel due to the contract. Doing this during the Thanksgiving holiday season made it worse. An ethical business would let your members know well ahead of time. Secondly, every time you go, something is broken. The steam room was down for over 2.5 months. They fixed it and then it broke again. Then the pool was down twice in less than a month. No, you don't get to go up on my rates 15% while not providing services for months I'm paying for.

If you enroll your child in swimming lessons, please stay nearby and observe the instructor. Some…read morewill be fine, but I have seen others engage in unsafe practices (since when is it safe to start off two swimmers from each end of the pool, so that they knock heads with each other in the middle, or one swims literally over the other?). I have also seen an instructor grab a child by his shirt to lift him out of the shallow end. If you raise the issue with the aquatics director, it's a waste of breath, because nothing will change. If your child takes lessons on the weekend, there is no one above age twenty, even managing the staff. Just because they're physically capable of passing swimming tests doesn't mean they're mature or possess any skills in communicating effectively with children. The wellness center is okay, but don't bother leaving a comment card or making a friendly suggestion. If the Y didn't think it up, it ain't happening. Don't expect the person at the wellness desk to do anything. It's just a young, apathetic person, who thinks he is paid, just to sit there and scroll through his telephone.​

This review is for TOCA which operates inside D-Bat…read more Our family has had a mixed experience at TOCA Marietta. When we first joined, sessions started right on the hour and ran smoothly. Over time, though, the start times have drifted -- sometimes beginning 10-15 minutes late and wrapping up early before the next session. It's frustrating not knowing when the actual instruction time begins or ends. Another issue is the inconsistency with the coaching. The coaches seem to rotate frequently, and there doesn't appear to be a clear, consistent curriculum from week to week. Some coaches focus more on warm-ups and running than on skill development, while others (like Odell and Ronaldo) do an excellent job teaching technique and engaging the kids. Unfortunately, we haven't seen them in a while, and switching days hasn't helped us find them again. We've also noticed that while the club doesn't require cleats or shin guards, several kids wear them, which gives them an advantage during drills and scrimmages. It would be helpful if TOCA clarified equipment expectations so all players can participate on an even playing field. Overall, TOCA Marietta has potential -- especially when led by strong coaches -- but the inconsistency in scheduling, coaching style, and structure has made our experience uneven. With more stability and clearer communication, this could be a great program.

As soon as you step onto the property, you automatically exhale, the body naturally relaxes and a big smile spreads across your face.  My 4 year old recently attended the Sunny Brook Stables Spring Camp and had an absolute blast. Not only is the farm setting, with the 14 horses, clucking ducks and chickens, munching goats and pot bellied pigs incredibly idyllic, but the people working there are also all so wonderfully warm and welcoming! My 4 year old quickly bonded with her camp counselor Trinity who is full of bubbles of laughter, warmth, enthusiasm and joy! My daughter has been constantly talking about her experiences there since and repeatedly asking to return. She attended on the recommendation of an older friend, and we're so happy we listened.
