WagonMaster Adventure Ranch

We are now open for our 12th year. Since 2010 we've had pet friendly, old-fashioned outdoor fun for every age to make special memories together. There's mini golf, gem mining, gold panning, skeet shooting, boat tours on Lake Apalachia with waterfalls & tubing, paintball arcades -shoot at targets- so it's fun for 4 yr olds to 88 yr olds. "Just for kids": mini race track, and free playground. Bring a picnic lunch to our shady picnic areas and pavilions for grilling out. Cabins & RV spots on site. Covered activities for rain or shine. Our new 2100 sq ft. event center can be reserved for weddings, reunions, & parties. There's also a wedding arbor by the pond. It's out in the country, but worth the beautiful drive. Reservations are required for boat tours, cabins & event venue. The perfect destination for an afternoon or week-long celebration! Discounts for groups, military, seniors, & 1st responders. Take a swim or fish at nearby Lake Apalachia.

What a great Hidden Gem nestled into the mountain! The prices of this place where great for a large family budget stay. We stay at the Loft cabin and it was perfect for 2 teens, 7 littles and three adults. Really enjoyed teaching the young ones about batminton. We did all the things Paint ball, gem mining, wagon rides, golf, mini cars. The extras that this place has to offer are great. Our cabin was an animal friendly cabin and I was so surprised to see it as clean as it was. I couldn't even tell that a dog or cat has been there prior to! It was also super quiet and very family-friendly! They are very friendly and courteous and make sure that you have everything you need, great customer service.

Kersey Valley Laser Tag

Reviewed By JasonM917 - Pittsboro, United States

We were looking for a fun activity for my 11 year old's birthday that was outside and safe due to Covid. We could not have had more fun. The staff was great, especially Nick who hosted us during our laser tag. They say they can host up to 40. I thought we were lucky in that we were the only ones out there (5 of us). It is a large area and the guns are top notch. You can switch the laser sights and weapon of choice by the touch of a button. There are multiple games you can play (I liked sniper the best). You can also switch up teams easily. So if you are looking for some fun, this is it. And when looking into this, Kersey Valley also has ziplining, a ropes course, and other attractions.

My brother-in-law wanted to do this but the rest of the family wasn’t too sure about it, but decided that we would all go since he had spent the previous days doing what we wanted to do. Well let me tell you, we all enjoyed it! We split into groups and did 3 large buckets. This is not just for kids, we are all grown adults. The guys that work there were great.

Our family traveled from out of state to spend time with parents. We have played 4 other escape games in the past. Nathan and the team did a great job of making it fun and bringing a unique experience to the escape game. We played the Outbreak room and with 1 minute to spare successfully escaped!! We were a group of 6 adults over 20 yrs old. I would definitely recommend......

Kudos to Damien at Bear Town Escape! What fun! We had a great time with Deadly Die-agnosis. I was the only first-timer of my group. Everything was explained thoroughly, even the Covid regulations they were following. This was a great way to ease me into escape rooms. Just tough enough. So fun for our group. We can't wait to check out the other two experiences

We really enjoyed our first mining experience! My kids (7&9) enjoyed the sleuse and found many large rocks. The site was beautiful with a gorgeous mountain stream on the rear of the property and picnic tables just up the hill. We enjoyed the stream just as much as the mining! The gift shop has numerous geodes on display and reasonably priced. There was also a good selection of jewelry and Christian literature and gifts. I highly recommend this experience for your family.
