- Cat girl640 contributionsI love this place. The photos are out of date, but there’s so much to do there. It can get a little crowded but it’s a really great place for little kids. There’s also activities for older kids such as sky wild but you do have to pre-book. The aquarium and there’s little play areas indoor and outdoor for small children. There is a bunch of cool shows and if you’re lucky you’ll get to see one of the events in the events in the special room where they put up mazes and fun things the animals are really cute and the food is decent all and all an amazing place there’s also a nice gift shop. If you’re local, you can buy a membership.Written May 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Lauren RGulf Shores, AL119 contributionsI have been here a couple times during my stay in Greensboro. It's a very beautiful place. It seems to have steady foot traffic and employees around, so I felt safe. So many places to sit and read a book or draw. I have really enjoyed my trips here and met some very nice people out enjoying the garden as well.Written October 4, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- C L1 contributionThis was my first visit to Ampleside Gallery and I couldn't be more happy that I did. The artwork is astonishing! The artist shown in this gallery are so talented. I felt welcomed as soon as I came in. The owner is friendly and very helpful on information about the artist. I was able to learn more about a specific artist named Leigh Rodenbough (a native to Greensboro). I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and hope to visit again soon! If you will be passing through the area, do not miss the opportunity to visit Ambleside Gallery!Written January 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
