One of our pictures in the gallery is from a Hot Air Balloon Festival here! Super fun and family friendly. Attached to the winery is Red Shedman Brewery.
Downtown New Market has our favorite coffee and breakfast shop! 5 West Coffee is one of our top 5 coffee places (if not number 1). Their specialty coffees are always a good choice! A few doors down you will find Prospect Pantry! It is Elvis themed and has NY bagels to die for. The garden bagel sandwich is perfection and so is the açaí bowl (it is huge)! I will note that this area is not great with handicap accessibility and there is limited parking.
There are many shops, restaurants, cafes, and other areas here! There are historical plaques up for you to read too. It can get crowded depending on the weekend but there is street parking and a few parking garages. It is about 20-30 minutes from the wedding location.
Wanting to go for a walk or take your kiddo(s) to a park. Watkins has two playgrounds, volleyball and tennis courts, and a walking trail. There is also an entrance to a rail to trail. It will lead to downtown Mt. Airy.
There are only a handful of shops and few restaurants but it is a cute little area. At one end there is the Upper Deck Bar and Grill and a hotdog shop and the other there is Liquidity Aleworks.
Family friendly. Live music in the evenings.
Family Friendly
Mt. Airy Lanes is duckpin bowling and it has been around forever. They serve food and drinks and have a few arcade games, definitely family friendly. You might need to call ahead and make a reservation if wanting to check it out!
We love a good movie!
