Gardening is a family affair at our house.  We each pick out something new from Sow True for planting each year!

We like to ride our bikes along the river, then grab a bite to eat and check out local artists.  Watching glass blowing or a painter in action is always a special treat.

Pizza, a movie and a local brew?  Sign us up!  I love the Fire Escape Jalapeño beer, hands down one of my favorites.

You can never go wrong escaping the summer heat with a few games of bowling.  Great location, easy parking and always a fun time.

A lot of performances are kid friendly and we love to support local theater!

A stroll around the WNC Nature Center is a must do for us every year.  We love the otters and could spend the entire time watching them play in and out of the water!

Side by Side spa experiences for the whole family.  Asheville's first social spa offering Kid's Care massage services for pint sized guests.

Asheville Brewing Company

Sky Lanes has been a part of West Asheville since 1963. Recently under new ownership, Sky Lanes has been upgraded and renovated, including a new bar and grill with more local beers on tap. However, it still maintains its retro West Asheville vibe!

Locals love Sky Lanes! Not only is it a fun and affordable place to bowl, it's great for parties for kids and adults alike. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is very laid back.
