We went to the temple after a friend of my wifes suggested it, we spent about three hours walking the grounds, it was very peaceful. Enjoyed our visit. Make sure you allow yourself lots of time to tour the grounds. There really isn't an a entry fee, It's on a donation basis.

This is a lovely park with oodles of parking. The mountains have several trials that range from easy to...Elizabeth I'm coming to join ya (In my Feed Sanford voice). We took the Pinnacle trail. It took us about 2 hours...it is one of the strenuous trails...so if you're not about that life...don't take that one lol. Lots of opportunities for photography if you're into nature photography. Also has camp grounds if you wish to rough it over night. I think there is a cost...just check the website.

This was a nice three hour visit. I visited the Visitor Center, watched the movie, had a picnic lunch and then walked the 1.5 mile Battlefield Trail. I would recommend proceeding counter-clockwise from the Visitor Center--maybe a little less steep in that direction. There are plenty of nice benches along the way to rest and contemplate; I especially enjoyed the audio option, so take your cellphone to enjoy the narration along the way. And, as an added treat, at the tall white monument there were thousands of swarming lady bugs--a first for everything.

A great outdoor activity no matter what your age. Grab the kids and enjoy the corn hole, hay rides,hard cider, apple cider donuts, and music by locals. What a wonderful outdoor activity for singles or families. No matter whether or not you want to pick your own apples, try the hard cider, or kick back and enjoy the wonderful outdoors you will have a great time at Windy Hill. You can enjoy a flight of hard cider, apple cider, or their delicious apple cider donuts. It is a great outdoor activity that will remind you of the simple things in life.

My first visit to the Schiele Museum provided a most pleasant surprise. The museum, although small, is packed with interesting exhibits that are beautifully presented and well documented. The dinosaur exhibit featured smaller species, and the models appeared to be realistic and set in suitable habitats. The animals were obviously made by excellent taxidermists and were also set in realistic, interesting habitats. Native American objects and models were respectful of their cultures and good teaching tools. Because it was pouring rain, we were not able to explore the trail and outside exhibits, but we'll go back for those. Also, our tour group was limited in time, so we did not see the planetarium show, another reason to return.

I've been coming here since I was a little boy. The ice cream is fantastic, and the produce is good. It's a little expensive (the ice cream), but it's made fresh and locally. It's much more expensive than I remember, so I'm assuming they've went up in price recently. We come here several times a year during the summer.

Wonderful holiday outing between Christmas and New Years with the family (grandparent, young kids). Excellent size (not overwhelming). Friendly staff. Fun "passport" stations for kids. Trains in orchid building particularly magical (seasonal display). We live in Roanoke, VA, and currently have an annual membership we're enjoying despite the drive. Sincerely doing a good job attracting new audiences.

Terrific restoration at Rankin Lake Park!
In past years this was an old, run down, unsafe park. It was unsafe and under used.
Today it is a year round active facility. Well kept. Great for lakeside activities, picnicking, disc golf, hiking, jogging...
Convenient location off I85 and 321. Ample parking.
Enjoy!

I live in Kings Mountain and have been to the Gateway Trail several times. It is a nice trail for casual hikers. The times I've been, I had children with me...ages 4-11. It's a nice hike for all ages because there isn't too steep a grade. I'm over 60 in fair health and can do the trail with only a couple stops for breath on the way up. It ends at the top of a small mountain with a nice overlook to a quarry. It's a good "exercise" trail. Senior citizens are often there for exercise. There are shady spots, but on a sunny day in summer, it could get uncomfortable. Wearing a hat and carrying a water bottle and wet cloth would be advisable in summer.
