I normally don't write reviews, but I had to rate my experience at Thrive. I was looking for…read moresomething to do to keep my 11 and 10 year old entertained. We heard about Thrive and gave it a try. The boys had a great time and we will definitely be back. Thrive gives has a great welcoming atmosphere, the employees were attentive as this was our first time. My boys love basketball as they spent most of their time on the bounce court. The best part for me, was getting a break while thrive took care of the entertainment. They have a sitting area for parents like me lol. One other thing that stood out was the person in charge of Thrive was on the floor working as well. He was very friendly and accommodating. It's a good sight when you see full team support. Great job Thrive, we will be back!

This place is just ok. I want to like it...but more than half the time, the trampoline equipment is…read morebroken, or the air conditioning not working, or there is a water leak. This place has potential, but it's not reliable for the price you pay. Like most places with arcades, the costs are highway robbery to play the games. Overall, not consistently worth the price. Cookeville would benefit from good entertainment more than bowling (eg go carts, putt putt, etc)

Place was nice, guide was nice, easy going. However their on site taxidermy is an absolute…read moredisaster. Told it takes a year to get your mount .. a year in after asking questions they lost my cape needed pictures of the animal to "locate" the horns. Told me a million different excuses and have promised a million different dates it would be ready only for none of that to be true. I paid for the service in full as I thought this would be beneficial for all involved, I highly recommend you do not do the same!! I highly suggest if you try this lodge do so knowing you will need to have your own taxidermy the "in house" taxidermy sounds great but that couldn't be further from the truth. Oh and yes I still have no mount and the excuses still exist.

Group of 6 of us hunted this weekend. Overall pretty good experience. All 6 of us got our hogs…read more Pro's - lots of hogs to choose from. Many other species to see and choose from. Todd was our guide and we had a great time with him. The staff would bend over backwards to make sure you had what you needed. Scenic views. Con's - the meals were mediocre at best. There was a pretty bad smell near the Razorback Lodge due to being next to the skinning shed. Main hunting area can be crowded with other hunters. Razorback lodge could use an extra bathroom.

DO NOT BUY ARCHERY PRODUCTS HERE! Worst service shop I've ever been into. They all sit at their…read morelittle desks in their department and wont do a damn thing to help anyone if its not in their "department". There is no experience, service or anything else youd be looking for when purchasing a new $2k bow. They didnt have the right modules for my draw so i was told they would order them and swap the mods for me when they arrived. They called, saying the mods were in. I show up and no archery guy there for 2 weeks and they wanted to charge me $80 for the mods that i was promised to be swapped. The place is a joke. No way in hell this place should be a pro shop for flag ship bow companies.

If you aren't a fan of taxidermy this store isn't for you, as the owner has some gorgeous trophies up on the walls. Customer service was both fast and friendly in helping my son with his purchase.

There are three falls along the trail by the river. Take that hike unless you are not interested…read morein a few sets of stairs and a lot of roots to step over. The extra falls are worth seeing. There is a shorter and flatter road in to the last fall if you are not up to the other hike. Amazing views! Definitely worth the trip!

Did a quick stop to visit this beautiful park. You have to hike a little to get to the different…read morefalls, but nothing too strenuous. It was a hot day which wasn't that fun, but once we got to the falls it was nice to take in the view and relax. We went midday in the middle of the week so it was not busy... I am guessing during the weekend it would get packed. Note that parking is limited, so either get there early or go when we went. Would I go back? Yes.

They are glowing...raving....singing this camps praises.....and they stink to high heaven!!! I asked how many times they bathed.....ZERO! I mean what do you expect?! I haven't heard all the details but a word to the wise. Fill their accounts with $15....not $25. They're only allowed to buy 2 snacks a day....mine had $15 left over at the end of the week so he basically bought out the snack shack in the form of skittles, Reece's and a couple Dr Pepper. :) Make sure to remember the big spray (not that mine used a drop) one found a live tick crawling on him the second he entered the car :/. On the spiritual front they worshipped every day!!!! And read their bibles! They didn't use the journals we bought special for camp (at the camp's request) so there's that. I wish the leaders would've made them make time for journaling. It such a powerful life lesson and I haven't been able to make it stick at home. That's my only beef. And the lack of cleanliness. I mean my son fished EVERY DAY! Just saying:) Anyway, I'm planning on booking a week next year for sure!!!! Send your kids! Have a weeklong marriage retreat at home! You're welcome!!!! Only advice to the camp. Y'all could make the process better for parents by keeping up with the Facebook page while they're away so parents can see what's going on. Also, have a farewell letter or email to parents recapping how the week went overall....just a couple thoughts. The place is Uber laid back and chill which we just LOVE!!! Thanks a bunch!

You took several pictures that I have posted . There are some places back there where they have cut some trees down and left them laying I'm sure they will clean them up soon or hopefully this park could use a little love if I lived in Cookeville I wouldn't be down there doing things at the park without even being asked it needs to be loved people should appreciate having that nature area within the city limits . Thank you Cookeville for having it and not letting it go . And thank you God for making it possible

Went in April 2026 and had a blast! The kayaking guides,…read moreTara and Eddie, are amazing. Such a beautiful aura with thrse 2. Easy to talk with, engaging and informative. They made my first trip to Burgess Falls amazing. I love their pink theme and the story behind their mascot. The meeting area is easy to find by GPS and there's signs as you get close. Small parking area. After going over the rules, we get on their bus to get to the destination. Kayak training is provided and then you're off. They encouraged us to enjoy the experience and take our time. We never felt rushed. Free to explore at your own leisure. The kayaking part was easy and not taxing. Wildlife present to see. Once you get close to the falls you have to walk about 10 minutes to the falls. Very rocky area. Make sure you have good shoes. I wore water shoes and I'd recommendjust wearing sneakers or those good for trails that you don't mind getting wet because I felt everything in those water shoes. Lol. They had their own challenge of keeping the area clean by collecting trash rhat you can participate in if you wished. At the falls - you got to kayak around or stand in the water and/or under the falls and Tara will take pics of you that she'll later send for free. Amazing shots. Breathtaking falls. It was a blast and refreshing! Once you return back to the starting point they have their own portable potties that you can use and a shed to change your clothes in. Plus, personal care items are available for use. There is a small gift shop too. Everything about the experience was professional from start to finish! I highly recommend you take this tour!

They take care to provide a fun trip while also ensuring the safety of everyone around them. Eddie even helped people from other groups pointing out cool features of the waterfall and allowing people to safety concerns. KAT doesn't rush you to get through your trip like some of the other tours. They make sure you have plenty of time to enjoy at the waterfall. We were able to sit and eat our lunch and also play in the water for over an hour. This is the second time I've been out with them and I'd recommend them again and again.
