A great list of fun kid-friendly things to do around Asheville!


I wish I could claim this fabulous list, but it was compiled by the MOPS group at Biltmore Baptist Church. It's too great a list not to share!  We've only checked out a few on the list & can't wait to visit the rest!

1. Mountain Play Lodge (Wed.-Mon. 10-6; ages 2 and under $6; ages 3-12 $10

2. Nature Center (open daily 10-5; adults $8, ages 3 and up $4; 2 and under free;
family membership available for $60)

3. Hiking (Bent Creek, Dupont forest, Pisgah forest, Catawba falls)

4. Apple picking (Justus farms, Skytop Orchard) - We had a great time at Skytop Orchard a few weeks ago! They have a lot of fun things to do. My little guy had so much fun on the playground that we didn't even make it into the orchard!

6. Health Adventure (Mon-Sat. 10-8; adults $9.50; ages 3 and up $6.50; 2 and under

13. North Mills River picnic area/natural pool (price per car, not sure what it is)
