Pedalheads® provides innovative and effective programs that are safe, fun, and challenging, inviting children to discover a world of opportunities. People choose Pedalheads because:
Since 1995, we’ve taught hundreds of thousands of kids to ride their bikes; we have a proven track record of getting most kids off their training wheels within one week; we aim to develop healthy, confident, and independent kids by way of our own teaching methods, small classes, and incredible instructors; we have promoted kids’ health and development over the last 30+ years, earning us a reputation of excellence in the communities that we serve; and parents have rated us 4.8 out of 5 stars, based on nearly 700 Facebook reviews. Check out what parents had to say here.
Our learn-to-ride bike program is best known for helping kids ages two through 12 get off training wheels and safely ride on the road. Our program includes: a progression of six instructional levels for you to choose from, three-hour half-day camps, seven-hour all-day camps, private lessons, and before and after care options.
Kids get lots of time on their bikes learning and playing games, navigating obstacle courses, and challenging themselves with a variety of activities in a safe environment. Kids also take bathroom, snack, and water breaks to ensure they stay hydrated and engaged.
We use only positive reinforcement with our kids to promote their health, well-being, and development, and kids who experience our program report feeling “braver and gooder at biking” and say they like us more than candy, school, and story time!

The recently modernized Blackberry Farm is extra special. All the traditional favorites like the steam-engine replica train, carousel, hay wagon rides and pedal tractors remain intact, accentuated by new features and amenities that make each visit all the more exciting.
Even the historic museums and interpreters (blacksmith, potter, seamstress) have a few new wrinkles with a series of interactive exhibits available this year to help truly experience the “real” pioneer life.
At the top of that list is the revolutionary “Adventure Playground,” which has drawn rave reviews all around.
It’s an extensive network of climbing decks, slides, ropes and catwalk-style bridges connecting an array of playhouses on multiple levels, bringing a 21st century twist to the historic pioneer village. A 70-foot zip line alongside provides added excitement for youth thrill-seekers.
“More than a playground, it’s a unique combination of interactive features; a hands-on farm museum where children go from deck-to-deck answering questions and learning about the history of pioneer life,” said Gilmer. “Most children have never experienced something like this.”
Other highlights include a 2,500-square-foot picnic shelter that serves as a performance stage for live entertainment – featuring the “Live and Uncorked” series of outdoor concerts enjoyed with adult beverages (beer and wine).
Nearby, on the shore of Lake Gregory, a nautically themed boathouse shelter/pavilion and dock are home to a fleet of paddle boats available to visitors during designated times.
Group picnic shelters have been expanded throughout the park – ideal for larger gatherings.
Blackberry Farm makes for an enchanting venue for special events – weddings, reunions, fund-raisers, corporate outings and the like. Also, birthday parties at Blackberry are all the rage – just ask the kids.
