Things To Do In Fort Bragg

Utilizing the same technology used to train military skydivers, SkyVenture re-creates the pulse-racing plunge of a free-fall through an enclosed vertical wind tunnel. Blasting air up in a seamless vertical column, SkyVenture's wind tunnel creates a flight chamber of smooth wall-to-wall airflow that grants you the temporary gift of flight without arm enchantments or the risk of melting waxen wings. Prior to liftoff participants receive video and personal instruction, then don their gear for two minute-long flights—the equivalent of three skydives from 13,000 feet or one ejection from Mount Olympus.

Prolific golf-course-design company Love Enterprises and Associates—which counts 1997 PGA Champion Davis Love III as a principal—orchestrated Anderson Creek Golf Club's classic layout. The course maintains a strict adherence to upkeep, and in 2008, Golf Digest rewarded its efforts with a prestigious 4.5-star rating and an oversize lollipop.

Today, the course showcases a verdant path of rolling fairways, groves of longleaf pine trees, and water features that come into play on at least six holes. A traditional course by design, only twice do fairways run directly parallel to each other, instead leading golfers on two roundabout loops. On the par 3 fourth hole, golfers must blast a 205-yard tee shot over water while hoping that the green accepts a visit without demanding that golfers remove their shoes before entering.

As a part of the developmental side of Aptitude Habilitation Services, Aptitude Explore and Sea Children's Gym & Therapy maintains a fun play space where instructors lead interactive classes for children of all ages. The practice specializes in working with children on the autism spectrum, and its curriculum of interactive classes helps kids develop interpersonal and motor skills that prepare them for school. Director Carolyne Largo holds a specialized master's degree in special education as well as a bachelor's degree in psychology. She works with kids in a space filled with colorful mats for tumbling classes and a kid-size climbing area for little ones to scale during open-play sessions.

The instructors at Noah’s Art can see the artist within every child. During classes, summer camps, and birthday parties, they teach children aged 3–14 fine-art techniques with hands-on, playful art experiences. Instructors focus on instilling in children the confidence that comes from creating an original piece and igniting their imagination to allow them to explore their creativity outside of the classroom.

Guests must supply their own ammo and firearm or pay a $10 rental fee (not included in this Groupon).
