Lynchburg Macaroni KID has been busy in the Lynchburg area all year, bringing you videos on our Facebook page from local parks and playgrounds, Virginia State Parks, and many other day trip and around town adventures.
What all of the destinations will share in common is that they are inexpensive and family-friendly.
Check out our video guide to using our website and event calendar:
Lynchburg Macaroni KID: who we are, what we do, and tips for using our website - COMING AGAIN SOON!
If you don't already follow us on Facebook, it's a good time to start! We share information about many local events and places.
We've included a link to each video below with the name and address of the destination and the date we visited.
You can also access the videos by going to the Lynchburg Macaroni KID Facebook page, clicking on 'Reels' and looking through them all.
Facebook keeps the videos live on our page for only 30 days, so check these out before they disappear.
We've added two categories of videos at the top of the grouping: Blue Ridge Parkway videos and videos from local ice cream and sweet treat shops. All other videos are grouped together by date below these two groups.
BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY VIDEOS
