Boone is a small North Carolina town in the massive Blue Ridge Mountains, a charming place where it is easy to feel the spirit of early pioneers like Daniel Boone. Daniel Boone Park is home to the Hickory Ridge Living History Museum with a very realistically recreated 1700s village. The park also features the popular drama Horn in the West about the struggles that pioneers like Boone had to face. Tweetsie Railroad is a fun, Wild West-themed amusement park with mini train rides, a chair lift, and a petting zoo. Mystery Hill is home to three weird museums with strange historic artifacts such as giant bubbles and optical illusions. The Children's Playhouse has a pretend vet clinic, an arts and crafts studio, the What's Cookin' Kitchen, and the indoor Romp and Stomp room with a bouldering wall. Kids love the adrenaline-pumping High Gravity Adventure with different zip lines. You can also take them to the Rocky Knob Mountain Bike Park and Fun 'n' Wheels go-cart racing track.
