    Hands down my 10 year old's and my favorite thing to do together is go to Yucandu. We've been well over a dozen times on our own, she's participated in many Kid's Night Out (she gets to make art, and my husband and I get a date night( win win!)), and holiday workshops, had a birthday party there that her friends still talk about 2 years later, and I've had a blast with a girlfriend (and wine!) at a ladies craft night. The staff has always been warm and welcoming, able to provide ideas and help if needed but also not pushy if you have your own ideas. The quality of the items is terrific, and I can't emphasize enough how great it is that the mess stays at Yucandu and not my house!

    My review is not based on the price or quality of projects in the studio my review is based on the service or lack of customer service that we experience during our visit to you can do art studio. So the concept of this art studio is very cool the execution is not. I understand that some people come in here to work on existing projects every week and our expert but this business needs to work on the beginners who are walking into the first time don't unders stand where things are don't know the procedures don't know how to begin etc. We came in on a Tuesday in December never had been inside had no idea where to begin from the from the get go I personally felt like an imposition to the two ladies that were working there. They were more interested in sitting and working on their own projects then walking us through what the process looks like at the studio. There was one lady who is blonde and there was one lady who was Brunette. The blonde lady was not very nice at all in fact she was mean. I can imagine if I had a small shy child that they would be terrified of the ladies in there. Not a welcoming vibe at all. Just kind of passive aggressive comments as we went around annoyed by our questions annoyed by our requests etc. etc. if I were a rich person I would just knock off this concept and fill the studio with kind bubbly welcoming young artists who want to work with people who are not as comfortable in an art studio as they are. There are a lot of things at the store for example there's a lot of stuff everywhere which can be overwhelming and is frankly confusing. Not to mention that I made a $40 pencil holder. Now I totally get the studio fees I understand but if I'm paying $40 for pencil holder I want to have a positive experience with the staff that are working there. I don't want to feel like I don't belong or I am annoying them with my questions. Also there's no real clean place to hang clothes or purses so if you have any nice clothing or nice bag with you leave it in the car. I just felt like the experience could've been a lot better and process could be more clear OK you have to paint this and then you have to put the sealant on it and that this is what you do when you get to that. And then this is what you do once it's fully painted and more direction granted some people don't need that but that's why you need to have a beginners kind of guide to these projects. For $40 for pencil holder I don't want to feel bad asking someone for help when I'm paying for a studio fee. Overall not a great experience.

    Votive holder made at yucandu!

I reserved tickets online. We were about 10 mins due to getting on the wrong train. I called to let them know and change my time but was told as long as you arrived within 20 minutes of scheduled time, you're good to go. Honesty, it was a fun time. We got hot and tired fast, especially with some of the games. They have free lockers to put Some of the games are very active with running around. Comfortable shoes and clothes you can move around in, is a must! I like how each of the rooms have several games to choose from, some are collaborate and some are competitive. 75 minutes was not enough time. This is something a family could do for 2 hours or so as time flies quickly. A feature I like is that is no one is waiting to go in the room you're in, you can continue playing. This is great as you can "level up" in games. Staff we encountered were friendly and helpful! I wish there was a place like this where I live, in NC.

Our group ranged from 8 to 28 years old and everyone had a great time staying active, laughing, and challenging ourselves. It's definitely one of those places where you don't even realize how much of a workout you're getting because you're having so much fun. The only thing I wish was a bit better is the cooling situation outside of the room! After working up a sweat, some extra AC or fans would have been really nice for a quick cooldown. That said, it didn't take away from the overall experience. We had an amazing time and will absolutely be back for more!

Also, it's very open and I can see all parts of the park so even thought it's not fenced, it just feels safe. The kids love that part of it is a tree that you climb inside. Bathrooms are close so great for potty training toddlers who have to go RIGHT NOW. There are 4 picnic tables in the pavilion, 2 drinking fountains and some sunshades with benches. We had our kids' birthday party there and it went extremely well. Super affordable to rent! The only downside is one parking lot is a flat trek to the playground but a longer one and the other parking lot is fairly close but you have to walk down a big hill and so then also back up. So anyone who is more limited with ambulation or someone who fatigues very quickly may not find this playground particularly accessible. Otherwise it is a super fun and simple playground!

Oak Tree Park pavilion is available to rent through the Brentwood Park system. It's pretty cheap ($60 for non-residents, $40 for residents). There are four picnic benches under the shelter, where the bathrooms are also located.

The energy in the room was lively, social, and full of people genuinely excited to try bites from some of the best local spots. There was an impressive variety of vendors, cuisines, and creative dishes that made every stop feel like a new experience. It's the perfect event to attend with friends while discovering restaurants you may not have tried yet. Everything I tasted was delicious and beautifully presented. The atmosphere never lost its excitement and charm. You could feel how much pride each vendor had in showcasing their best bites. It's a fantastic way to celebrate the local food scene all in one place. The only reason for four stars is timing and quantity -- the two-hour general admission window (with it being a sold out event) didn't feel like enough time to make it to every area. A few vendors had already run out of food by the time we reached them (lines to get samples were also long), which was a little disappointing. It would be great to see either a slightly longer event window or for vendors to come with more servings. Overall, it's still an event I would absolutely recommend and definitely attend again!

This camp offers kids from any income level the opportunity to go away to camp. They can learn to swim, climb a tower, perfect their artistic talents and so much more. The leadership program includes wilderness adventures of hiking and canoeing, takes them on college visits, lets them experience how volunteer service feels and gives them to skills to get to a job at the end of the 4 year program. While the kids think they are just having fun, the real goal is to give them the skills and desire to further their education...college or vocational...and break the cycle of poverty. It also is a wonderful work experience for young adults. Teaching them responsibility, exposing them to diversity and hopefully influencing their attitudes about the potential of all children if they are just given the opportunities and skills needed to succeed. If you are thinking of sending your kids to camp, SFC is a nurturing environment that will challenge them. They'll walk through the woods and sing songs around campfires. They'll make friends and learn the value of teamwork. They'll spend hours in the library and try new foods. They'll grow up with camp their second home. Start them young and keep sending them back.
