Virginia Beach Adventure Park gave us one of those summers that actually felt like a summer…read more My son and I did the summer pass for a month, and as a local, I really appreciated having something this active, outdoorsy, and genuinely fun right in our backyard. We spent what felt like half the summer up in the trees, conquering trails, zip lines, and whatever questionable life choices led me to believe I was ready for the "longest" course. Spoiler: it is absolutely the longest. By the end of that one, I had given the trees everything I had. We tackled almost every course we were eligible for, and even my husband joined us one day, which was very much outside his comfort zone. That alone deserves recognition. Every visit ended the same way: sweaty, exhausted, full of adrenaline, and smiling like we had just accomplished something ridiculous and wonderful. And honestly, we did. By the end of the summer, both my son and I had noticeably better core and upper-body strength. Those ropes and platforms will humble you very quickly. I don't really have a favorite course because each one had its own personality, but some definitely felt like they were designed by someone who enjoys watching people question their decisions halfway through. In the best way, of course. One thing I do wish were a little clearer is the parking situation. The recommended parking is over by one of the aquarium buildings, and then you walk over to the Adventure Park area. I understand that there are contractual reasons for this, but as a local, it felt a little unnecessarily complicated. I used the HONK app and applied for the $50 local parking voucher, which ended up covering my summer visits, so that was a big win. Also worth knowing: if you park in the suggested aquarium lot and stay later, that building closes around 4:30. Depending on timing, you may end up having to take the longer route back around via the bike path to get to your car. I may or may not have chosen my own parking strategy from time to time. What can I say? I believe in adventure before I even reach the ropes. There's a Dunkin' nearby, which became very important to me after several of these outings because once you've spent hours suspended in trees, coffee becomes less of a beverage and more of a recovery plan. There are also food options available at the aquarium if you want to stay on site. What I'll remember most, though, is getting to spend that time with my son. We laughed, struggled, climbed, zipped, sweated, and got stronger together. There's something really special about watching your kid work through a difficult obstacle 20 feet in the air and then seeing that proud little grin when they make it across. We came for the zip lines and ended up leaving with a summer full of confidence, strength, and some really great memories. For locals especially, the summer pass is absolutely worth considering. We ended the summer with the black diamond course, and it was not as nearly hard as waterfall!

I hit one of them with the ball and they begin throwing punches at us and begin chasing us across the park along with his group, and as we are already in danger the employee kicks both groups out where they are waiting in the parking lot for us. They threw rocks at our car, yelled slurs and others, and their mom encouraged it. I am mainly mad at the fact the employee instead of hearing out the story kicked both of us out which brought us much danger considering they were trying to fight us and we were forced into the parking lot with them.

Our Flight instructor, Bob ,took the time to explain everything to my 13 year old son and engaged him directly instead of asking me as the parent. He allowed my son to run through the checklist with him and asked him if he was comfortable performing certain things, all while keeping a watchful eye on him. Bob was extremely knowledgeable and professional. The owner was very kind as well. The staff wants to see you succeed should you become interested in becoming a pilot and provide a lot of useful information and recommendations on how to proceed in the future. I would highly recommend using Curtis Eads.

Skydive OC was superb in every part of my experience. Their staff are extremely competent, informative, and caring-- from check in/information session/training with their young staff to being in the air and the conclusion getting picked up from the field! Staff we interacted with and all were AMAZING: Janice, Natalie, Chase, Hayden, and Kalay, plus a few others! When signing up, the staff noticed it was my birthday and added little party emoji to my name on the display and sang to me on the plane. A bunch of them checked in with me to wish me a happy day! What I appreciated most was how they simultneously hype you up while making sure you're highly educated on all necessaey steps and precautions. I felt super confident in the process. The staff adapted every step so you're comfortable as possible, going so far as to modify the straps so I was never too tight when I didn't need to be, allowing me to breathe easy. I don't mean to generalize when I say "everyone is great" but really, truly EVERYONE WAS FREAKING AMAZING! Their staff are skilled, trained professionals through and through! Special shout out to Chase for being fun to chat with! I'm so stoked to learn that this is a family owned, Asian-American owned business! y'all rock! If you're thinking about going-- stop thinking and go!

The staff was excellent and very caring. The instructors made us feel very welcomed and was so friendly, calm, and excited for us. They made sure we had pictures and video to capture our wonderful experiences. I will definitely be jumping again next year! A big thank you to everyone for making this event the best ever! We finished off the day with lunch and headed over to the beach. Ocean City doesn't owe me anything! It was well worth the 3 hour drive.

Their website clearly outlines their fees, their guidelines, and their procedures. When I had questions about the weather and the video packages, they answered the phone and quickly responded to my questions and concerns. A few days prior to the experience, they emailed me with instructions, noting the need to watch the safety and procedures video. Once the day arrived for my skydive, I arrived and was quickly greeted by staff. The check in was quick and easy. I then met my expert skydiver, Matt Allen, who was absolutely amazing. He clearly explained the procedures and then harnessed me up for the ride of a lifetime. The staff informed us that there would be a slight delay because of cloud coverage that day. For the novice, this was a very comforting thing. I can not stress enough how fantastic Matt Allen was on this journey, from the pre-flight training to the actual freefall to the smooth landing. I also purchased the picture and video package to commemorate this occasion. My videographer, whose name was Mikel (at least, I think it was), did an outstanding job with the photography and videos. The pre-interview, the in-plane activities, the freefall, and the landing were all included in the package. I am so glad that I purchased these extras. Honestly, I was so in the moment with Matt and Mikel that I didn't remember some of the parts of the experience. The pictures and especially the videos helped jog my memory and will be a great source to help me relive this journey. Thanks again to all the staff at Suffolk Skydive.

This was our first jump and we wanted to do it together. We declined but we were told if we didn't split they wouldn't video the jump.

Pretty dumb actually because they could have made another 450 bucks. We still have the memories of jumping together, they lost 450 bucks and future clients.

"Custom" cabinets does not equate with quality - at least not for Cabinets with Flair…read more Jack built/installed cabinets in our kitchen, master bath, and hall bath in mid-2018. We paid premium dollars for these cabinets and have been thoroughly disappointed. During and since the installation, we have had repeated complaints and Jack has been defensive about the challenges of the project but not about the quality. His "fixes" are inadequate. He admits to issues when shown photos and/or in person, but offers no more than long, defensive explanations of the issues...which do not get resolved. Now, 4 years later, I've had enough - it's time to post a negative review. The latest issues are recurring problems with cabinet bumpers coming off, drawers misaligned, noisy/rough drawer glides, and the finish chipping, and he has now ignored my last message for 4 months, even though the prime contractor confirmed receipt and agreement with the issues. In contrast, I also own a rental house in the Outer Banks and, more than 15 years ago replaced the cabinets with Lowes' Craft Maid cabinets and they have been perfect from the start. Even after suffering from a typically abusive weekly rental market, the cabinets look great, maintain their alignment, the bumpers are still in place, and the glides work flawlessly. In addition, the drawers are tongue-and-groove, as opposed to Jack's nailed construction. Do NOT use Cabinets with Flair. Order from Home Depot, Lowes, or a reputable custom cabinet-maker.
