    My husband and I recently took a vacation to Asheville -- primarily for the breweries and rising…read morefood scene. In an effort to plan an activity that didn't involve stuffing our faces for a least 30 minutes, I scheduled a VR session at Better Than Unicorns. My husband was initially skeptical, but I pushed him to go. While my motion sickness didn't allow me to get beyond the first game (pro tip: take a non-drowsy Dramamine 30 min before your appointment if you also suffer from this unfortunate condition), my husband absolutely LOVED the entire experience. We both had fun because he got to try out several different games and I got to watch him on the massive screen directly behind him (side note: your spouse in the VR headset flying through a make believe city makes for a pretty epic boomerang lol). We had such a good time that we bought an Oculus when we got home and have really enjoyed playing/sharing the experience with our friends. Final verdict: If you want to tryout the highest quality VR before taking the $400+ plunge for a personal headset (or just want to take a break from drinking and eating), definitely schedule a session with Better Than Unicorns. BONUS TIP: The building is just around the corner from French Broad's Chocolate Factory -- so after our VR we only had to walk a few yards for a 30-min chocolate factory tour and a liquid truffle. Boom!

    Wow, this was so much fun! We went as a group of 4 late on a Sunday afternoon and had the best…read moretime. It's a little hard to find since there's no signage on the outside of the building, but it's in the studio right next to the French Broad chocolate factory (which you can't miss). Walter was our VR guide and was so patient with us newbies and very accommodating of our requests to play different types of games. And man, do they have a lot of games! I felt like I could have asked if he had anything where I could ride a T-rex through the Wal-mart and he would have said "sure, let me pull that up"...amazing! It was also hilarious to watch others in the group play. Whether they were walking the plank or punching out bad guys, we could see what they were seeing on the big screen, as well as watch them react to it in the real world. Too funny. Thanks to Walter and the BTU crew for a great afternoon that we'll be talking about for a long time. We're already planning our next visit!

    Last week we made our second visit ever to Rollins Planetarium, located at Young Harris College in…read moreYoung Harris, GA. It's a great place to go for adults and kids alike, though note that it's a late evening activity. According to their site, the planetarium seats 104 under a 40-foot-diameter dome, and if you go, try to get there early to get a seat in the back. You'll be staring up most of the time, and the seats do recline a fair bit. The presentation is about half live, half recorded - but all with the lights down entirely - with the recording about whatever their current public show is about. The live portion is great, and features the night sky as it actually looks that night, in that location. The presenter we had was informative and fun to listen to, and the kids in our party got a kick out of it. The recording was about Saturn, and it was educational and interesting. We skipped the trek up to the observatory after the show, but only because our kids were done for the night. We did visit the observatory our first time to the planetarium, and if you can stay awake, I recommend it! Check their schedule and ticket times, as they generally only offer Friday night shows. We paid cash for our tickets ($3 adults, $2 kids/students), so I don't know if they accept other forms of payment. Parking was easy. Cool, educational, a real gem up in the mountains!

    We went to Muse after a long roadtrip to Knoxville. It was a great place to let our kids explore,…read moreuse their imaginations, create, and get their energy out. They have a very visually appealing entrance for kids...bright colors, a free little library and a small playground with nice green spaces around. The inside has a variety of activities set up which seemed to be pretty standard for a children's museum and were ones we'd seen in other locations. My kids stayed entertained for over two hours and would have been happy to stay if we'd had the time. This is a great option for a rainy day activity. The only downside is we were hoping to grab lunch beforehand and there weren't a lot of options nearby that we were able to find. At $12 a ticket for adults and children aged 1 and up it's a reasonable price!

    We brought our grandchildren 8 mos. and 4 years who were visiting from out of town. The outside…read moresignage is bright and makes you want to go in. The entry is a combination snack/gift shop and reception. After paying we entered the play area and I wasn't sure what to think. All the areas flowed into each other and our granddaughter seemed overwhelmed. We began with the Healthy Choices map, then let her take the lead. She walked by everything until we got to the display showing how air circulates through your lungs. She loved doing this activity over, and over, and over again and suddenly became more interested in other areas. She ended up really enjoying MUSE and didn't want to leave. Don't let the small size fool you, there is a lot more there than you think. Unfortunately, due to the rain, we were unable to play on the outside playscape but that just means we need to go back next time they visit.

Mayland is named for Mitchell, Avery and Yancey Counties. The park is not complete yet but the Bare Dark Sky Observatory, visitor's center and planetarium are open. The park is operated by Mayland Community College. When you arrive the road will narrow. There is limited parking in front but a larger lot in the back, just be careful driving back there as traffic is two-way. There is a walkway to get to the visitor's center. The staff is friendly and helpful. But the time changed on my ticket to Beautifica. I bought a 3pm ticket and was told to arrive at 2:30 but my ticket changed to 2pm. Thankfully I arrived in time as there was not a 3pm showing. I checked all my emails and didn't see any notification of the change in timing and coming from out of town this could have been a problem. The planetarium seats 61 and they have regular and VIP seating. VIPs can go in a few minutes prior. There are some permanent seats and others are zero gravity chairs. When those are opened, there isn't enough space between those and the permanent seats. The visitor's center has a few science exhibits and gift shop. Make sure to check out the garden as there are great views from there. If you buy a planetarium ticket, double check the time in case it changes.

Restaurant staff were Rude and always pushed people around, talking to people in condescending manner. Drinks were poorly made. We did dinner at one restaurant in the park, it was mediocre. They need to have hotel experienced people run this place. Rooms were good but always sooooo cold. They charge 1200$/night but was not worth the experience. We were a group of 12 for 4 nights. All felt that we were not welcome. They probably live in plantation days. We brought some things for picnic so we can enjoy company. Every employee told us " there is no place to sit down in 200 acre property to have picnic together " because they wanted to push their restaurants but they were mediocre. We ended up going out in town for dinners most days after first night experience They were pushing the 14 min Luminare show for 75 $. Even the tram guy was so rude, would not let us sit in it without wrist band although we were just going for dinner at restaurant Sorry the review is not much positive but they need to improve service, attitude. Never again Biltmore. Big name poor service
