We had a wonderful visit middle of July 2018. Arrived at 10am in the dot, line was about 15 minutes long. Went very fast. Plenty of seats and shade! Pool area very clean. Very attentive life guards, everyone is very friendly! This is the perfect place for families! We had 3 kids here, 5, 10 & 11, they all loved it! There was plenty for everyone to do. We felt the older 2 were safe enough do they own thing. Safety breaks every hour for 10 min to rehydrate, reapply sunscreen and take the kids to the bathroom. Not too crowded, not too big. Just perfect! Highly recommended by us!
3. Lake Anne Brew House
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 29 reviews
Our love of craft beer is huge, as is our love of Lake Anne and Reston, which ultimately lead us to this mission: To create a community-focused taproom, brewing small-batch, hand-crafted beer, and to serve it up lakeside on our amazing deck and patio overlooking beautiful Lake Anne. Brews with views… what more could you ask for? Our community-focused brewery embraces the ‘Live-Work-Play’ philosophy that Robert E. Simon built this place to be, and we strive to uphold his ideals in all that we do as a business. We built this business for all of you, for our community, and for the greater community of craft beer drinkers. Brewing Beer | Building Community
4. Lake Fairfax Park

Not sure why people rate a free park as "terrible" or "poor", but I thought Lake Fairfax Park was great and has a lot to offer, including baseball diamonds, picnic areas, walking trails, a skate park, soccer pitches, a lake (duh), a water park (not free), a bicycle "skate park" (not sure what it's called in bike lingo), and who even knows what else; didn't tour the entire park. Definitely recommend if you're at all interested in doing free things outside, in a safe, lovely place, and definitely will go here again.

We've been trying local Movie Theaters with my wife in a wheelchair ... Reston's Bow Tie Cinema offers mid theater reserved seats with neighboring spaces for her wheelchair ... Every theater room we've visited at Bow Tie offers the same access ... Elevator to 2nd floor as well.
