Perfect weather. Lines move quickly boys were able to ride multiple times without a long wait. Parking lot was full but the park did not feel crowded. Park was clean.

It would have helped if we were given a map and show schedule when we entered.

Multiple eating places but few were open.

Water fountains were not operational.

The Crescent

Reviewed By gcoldsummers - Valdosta, Georgia

My wife and I made a visit to The Crescent right before Christmas and we enjoyed every moment. The staff offered us fruit punch and desserts as we began our tour. We spoke with them about the history of and future plans for the property. If you live in the area, the history of this property will give you more insight as to why Valdosta is as it is.

The decorations were amazing and the grounds were very well kept.

Valdosta Mall

Reviewed By MakeUpchurch - Atlanta

Took a large group here to shop. There is a decent selection of stores and the mall was clean/tidy and had lots of people shopping. Some of the outdoor stores are better than the ones inside but it was still a fun shopping experience. Only place to shop around Valdosta anyway!

Raisin' Cane

Reviewed By MSO70 - Franklin, Tennessee

Raisin' Cane is an experience to do with agriculture. They have a farm market and a restaurant Kim's Kitchen. We hit it during an off season period June-July. There is March-May spring field trips, August-November fall field trips, October fall farm activities and live nativity in December. Kim's Kitchen is open Monday-Friday 10:00am-6pm and Saturday 10am-4:30pm. We arrived after the kitchen had closed. We enjoyed the farm market. So many products to choose from and well worth the stop. They had casseroles, lasagna, pot pies, meatloaf, vegetable sides, soups, salads, breakfast, breads and dessert.
