Outdoor Activities
this is a small little zoo, perfect for animal lovers. You can drive through the safari park or you can just feed the farm animals!
NOVA Wild
This is a great family friendly farm. There's always animals you can pet and there's a cute little gift shop as well!
Frying Pan Farm Park | Park Authority - Fairfax County
Meadowlark is excellent year round - beautiful flowers in the spring/summer, and it has a cute light display during the holiday season!
Meadowlark Botanical Gardens
Restaurants
The BEST pizza in the area! They have other dishes too, it's a nice Italian restaurant. I will only ever order the pizza because I love it so much.
Ciao Osteria
I am incredibly picky when it comes to Thai, and this checks all the boxes. Generously portions, DELICIOUS, and reasonably priced.
Chao Phra YA Thai
This is my favorite place to just grab a sandwich. They're so yummy and obviously the bread is amazing. Order the ozzy rolls and thank me later.
Best Buns Bakery
I absolutely love this place! The drinks and food are delicious. I recommend trying the tasting menu at least once!
Clarity
This is a special occasion restaurant if I've ever been to one. Very expensive but the quality is absolutely worth the cost! Exquisite.
L'Auberge Chez Francois
Filomena is a classy Italian restaurant that serves generous portions of DELICIOUS food. There's always a lady making pasta in the window and that's always fun to watch. If you go, the cheesecake is a must.
