What travelers are saying
- jandk819Pine Bush, NY34 contributionsWonderful place full of Monrovia history. Staff dressed in period garments and demonstrated their trades. Hundreds of artifacts to see! We really enjoyed Wayne and his gun smithing expertise. Give yourself plenty of time, much more to see than I thought.Written August 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rebecca W2 contributionsThis past weekend, I explored the Reynolda House Museum of American Art. The admission was free as a local college student, and the staff was more than helpful. They suggested where to begin my journey and explained the history that was not written on the walls beside us. The art gallery side of the museum is lovely. It displays pieces from the period. The gallery begins by explaining how art is the work of women in the family who dreamt of becoming artists. The art displayed ranged from paintings to sculptures to clothing and even jewelry. However, the gallery was only the beginning. I also recommend taking the time to explore the house on display. From the studies, the pianos, the sunroom, and so much more, this house is kept in pristine condition, which genuinely allowed us as visitors to gather the grandeur of the place. When you make it to the basement, be sure to explore the bowling alley and the ping pong table, where you are invited to play a game. Overall, the museum is an excellent experience for people who want to get to know the area better and learn about the history of Reynolda or are just looking for an activity on a quiet day.Written October 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- duffey3700Richmond, VA3,235 contributionsWe took our 8 year old granddaughter and she really enjoyed it. Lots of things to see and do, a lot with hands on experiences. She really enjoyed the dinosaur exhibit. Hoping we can take her again the next time we are in the area.Written July 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SOJSWinston Salem, NC84 contributionsNice walk with the dog and kiddo. Intending information about different types of rocks and how/where they were formed.

- Deborah HJefferson, MD363 contributionsBeautiful old cemetery. So interesting to see gravestones all laid flat. Such a peaceful resting place.Written June 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Beth FWinston Salem, NC29 contributionsI absolutely love Salem Lake! It is about 7 miles to do the entire loop around the lake! You can jog, walk, run or bike the lake! I must say it’s one of my favorite places to walk in town. The trail is very well maintained and there are signs to show you mileage.Written November 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JJMikaNew Port Richey, FL17 contributionsThe Church and the entire Moravian area is definitely work a visit. Lots to see and even a bakery to tempt your diet. And take time to stroll through the cemetery located nearby.Written March 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Roy CWhispering Pines, NC1,001 contributionsWhat a wonderful experience! This large park, with plenty of walking trails, a historic cemetery and reconstructions of the fort and some of the other original buildings, is most definitely a must-see! All restorations and ruins have small signs describing what one is viewing as well as quotations from various diaries and papers of the original founders, Moravian Brethren who immigrated for religious freedom.
There is plenty of parking. There are absolutely no fees. There is a large garden with most of the plants identified. And if there are few enough people so he is not overly taxed, the blacksmith will make you a free garden hook for hanging plants while explaining blacksmith techniques.
As of this month, June 2022, masks are still required inside the visitor's center, but they have a box full, so you do not have to bring one.Written June 10, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Ballpark has all of the amenities you would expect. Friendly staff and a nice stadium for a game.Written June 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Lia HBogota, Colombia1,088 contributionsThe Reynolda Gardens are part of the Reynolda House, which is part of Wake Forest University. They function a bit like a park, free to the public open from morning until about 6 pm. There is plenty of parking in different places and you may walk around freely around the gardens, the trails, the shops. Dogs are allowed (on a leash). You will see plenty of people exercising, walking their dogs, families with kids. There are different trails you can take around the garden, and the estate. You can even cross the road to the Graylin estate, which is also part of WFUWritten August 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
