- Ronnie WClover, SC44 contributionsIt’s not a bad brewery down sides is they don’t serve food and there’s a nasty food truck outside to get food other down side is too many IPA’s they need more pilsners or light lagers The environment is okay bartenders could use a little more personality but they do make sure your glass is full They don’t have any competition so it’s the only game in townWritten September 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sara SRaleigh, NC9 contributionsWe stopped in on a rainy day and are so glad we did! There is a surprising amount to see and lots of interesting things to learn. My son really enjoyed the scavenger hunt. The folks working here were also lovely, offering helpful tips and good conversation. I highly recommend stopping in even on a sunny day - we will be back!Written December 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RideKayakNashville, TN4 contributionsI have been shopping at Wild Fern for several months. Molly has wonderful gifts for family and friends. Last month I purchased a beautiful, one-of-a-kind hair barret for a granddaughter. Perfect gift and very unique. This is one of my favourite shops in town. I live here, so I frequent local shops often.Written March 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- DixiedaveTroy, NC9 contributionsIf you're in the area and have the time, this is an interesting place to visit. After hearing about it and researching it, we decided to make the short drive over, (from Sapphire Valley), if for nothing else, just to say we've been there. We walked through the long tunnel and viewed the 'graffiti' on the walls. I'm not usually 'a fan' of graffiti, but this was more like an art exhibit. Some were quite interesting. While my wife sat for a rest I continued on to the end of the road which is probably about a half mile past the tunnel. It was interesting to see how the work just suddenly stopped with the notches cut for the rails, but no rails. ....

- DodoDidiTampa, FL916 contributionsWe visited during the week and were able to eat our packed picnic lunch at the tables and use the kiddie equipment on the playground. Purchased fresh veggies-prices were a bit high. All food was delicious! We will return for one of the many planned weekend events at the Farm!Written June 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nancy WMooresville, NC791 contributionsWe took an adventure to ride the Great Smokey Mountain Railway and we had the best time listening to our narrator, Tim. He was such a joy and really made our trip so fun and special.Written October 25, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bear381 contributionsVery small but free aquarium that's worth a visit. In and out in ten minutes with plenty of parking. The tanks are kept very clean and the fish appear to be healthy. Enjoy!Written April 14, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Kelly CBrunswick, GA2 contributionsWe’ll kept beautiful pond. Easy for kids to fish. Long winding road through the woods to get there, not paved.
