Not all aviation museums are alike, but this one in Warner Robins is among the best I have visited (including the Air Force Museum in Ohio). Take the time to see what has been done to a great many of the Air Force flyers. Great history, great displays, and obviously run by very proud professionals who care about aviation. There is a great deal to see and learn here, and you will not be disappointed. Really well done from beginning to end.

We were at the rest stop north of Macon and asked the information lady where we could get some fresh pecans. She gave us a brochure on Lane Orchards and told us it was about a half hour down the road. We hesitated, but I wanted those pecans, so off we went.
Exit 142 off I75. Fort Valley, GA.
What a neat place, huge, and very clean. Handicap parking. A pirch full of white rocking chairs, so you can sit and eat their delicious homemade ice creams. I'll vouch for the oeach ice cream, simply delicious. They have candies, sauces, jellies, pecans, a gift shop, fudge, ice cream, pasteries, a restaurant. I was surprised at how nice this place was. I would recommend it even if just for a tourist stop.

We have frequented this park since moving to the area. There is ample parking, two playgrounds, tennis courts, ball fields, and a splash pad. One of the playgrounds is clearly older and shows it's years of use and abuse. The other is much newer, and that's the one we spend a lot of time on. There are swinging benches surrounding it for parents to sit on, although they leave you rather exposed to the brutal Georgia sun. The splash pad, when operational is great fun. We normally wear flip flops, but I would recommend caution in the newer playground as it's filled with chipped wood. I've never had a problem at a playground before this one, but several sharp pieces of wood have pierced through my tough skin. I imagine with the speed and roughness with which kids play, it wouldn't be hard to get one seriously embedded in a foot. The best part of this park, at least recently, is the Pokemon that have started spawning there. We found just shy of ten Seel there and have been told that prior to the update people were finding Jigglypuff. Seems like it will continue to be a nest of one sort or another.

Took my 8 year old here today for a walk. We made it from one side to the other. One end has a little playground and an open restroom. The restroom on the other side wasn't open. A lot of it was shaded and allowed for a cool breeze while you walk out of the Sun. Several spots to sit and rest if you need it.

This large shop is very classy. They have a good selection of local wines to choose from, and the atmosphere is very tasteful. A friend and I stopped by for some wine tasting, and we weren't disappointed. Our server was very helpful. The decor was imaginative. The setting quite soothing.
No one else was in the Vineyard on a Saturday afternoon. But the place does pack 'em in on weekend evenings. Stop on by...you'll enjoy the experience.

People were great planning and setting up party arrangements for a bunch of 3-4 year old kids. It is a good place to have children's parties without the potential damage to your home. No muss, no fuss, no clean-up. All had a good time and fed well to boot.

Fun, but expensive. It was a bit crowded on a Summer Monday night, and it was hard to get help from the staff.Once we did find someone to help us though, they were very nice. We played golf and games. Both were fine,but most games take over $1.00, and many are $2.00 or more.A bit out of my budget.

Reviewed By Adventuresofaandk - Georgia
This place is a lot of fun with a variety of activities for kids about age 10 and under. However, you MUST supervise your kids at all times. I always do, but it's apparent that others don't, because older kids run and play (sometimes roughly) in the soft play and ball area. Teenagers supposedly monitor, but most aren't very effective...or they are busy flirting with others! It can be very frustrating! It can be easy to lose sight of your kids as they climb above the crowd. As others said, there's no system to ensure kids do not leave unattended or with someone else. The building is dated and rather musky. The food is typical, I guess...high-priced fried varieties and pizza. It's nice that they allow birthday parties in the food court without paying (unless that has changed recently!) I thought armbands were over-priced...until we visited the other place in town.
