Following the Yellow Brick Road at Autumn at Oz - Beech Mountain, North Carolina
Here is the link to donate to Samaritan's Purse to help Western North Carolina rebuild* following Hurricane Helene: samaritanspurse.org/disaster/hurricane-helene/
In this video, we attended a popular annual event called Autumn at Oz. This is held several weekends each September in Beech Mountain, North Carolina at a Wizard of Oz theme park that was open from 1970 to 1980. While the park is no longer regularly open, it does open its gates to welcome Wizard of Oz fans to experience the magic of the park that was enjoyed by visitors on this mountain over 40 years ago. We will share what the experience was like - and why we loved it so much. Get more information about the 2025 edition of Autum...

What a fun event 😃 No spoiler alerts hear 😂🤪
Such a fun event - I’ll have to check this out. So sad, re: Hurricane Helene. Goodness, if it’s not the hurricanes, it’s the fires in my home state of CA. Cute Dorothy and Miss Gulch.. cosplay. Such a 1900 classic! Have you seen Wicked? The gift shop looks nice and 1.5 miles works for me!😂 😅 Great video! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 TFS, Krissy 🌞💋
Great sharing i love to see new culture
This is a festival that we would absolutely love! Looks so fun!
I do love having a full fridge in my room versus a bar fridge... looked like a pretty well stocked kitchenette... pool looked quiet... I wonder if the pools get much use at these hotels... when I was younger, the pools were always full of kids at the hotels we stayed at (not big resorts, just regular hotels)...seemed it was a thing for families to stay somewhere relatively local just to have a little getaway and to use the pool...
A full size fridge is nice! "The dump station" LOL!!! We have never stayed at a Home2Suites but it looks like a good option when deciding between different places!
Great to see BUsch Gardens during the festive season 👍. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend 😀.
Not too bad for a Home2Suites. Simple but functional. LIKe 15. 👍👍👍
Looks like a nice place to stay 👍
Looks like a great place to stay! We appreciate the tour and review!
My old roommate lives in Overland Park. So we try to stop there on our road trips. I remember passing this place. You got so much content from this trip. The bathroom nicknames is my favorite running gag. LOL, I’m a vacation unpacker.

This is such a nice hotel. The rooms look very comfortable and accommodating. I love getting a room with that sort of refrigerator/freezer setup. The quality of their complimentary breakfast is well above an average hotel breakfast. The pool area looked nice and clean, as did the gym. The price was also very nice. You got a great deal for the room. Excellent video and great recommendation for anyone visiting the Kansas City area.
Great review. Have a nice weekend.
Wow...those performers were awesome! The atriums look huge... what? No Christmas music at the North Pole? ha ha...seems odd... The harbour looked beautiful... So many activities and events... I love it! Oh, I need some input from you guys! We are heading to North Carolina... Boone, NC... this weekend... have you been? Any tips or advice on things to see or do in January? Thanks Alice and Jack!
Hey... This is a bit late if you are in Boone this weekend. Our favorite attraction there is closed for the winter - it is a train theme park called Tweetsie Railroad. So with that closed our favorite area attractions are a few miles out of Boone - but not too far away: Grandfather Mountain and Blowing Rock. These are both mountain attractions where you can drive to the top and see some great views. There is also a gem mining place in the area called Foggy Mountain Gem Mining. It is a beautiful area... but I do hate that you are visiting when Tweetsie Railroad is closed. Hope yall have a great time anyway.
@@trvlnthruGreat info! We arrive tomorrow… will check these sites out for sure!! Thank you! I knew you would have some tips! ☺️
So true WWI is less known Wonderful explore of the museum The guns are pretty amazing to see Beautiful skyline too Cheers 👍
Wonderful to explore Kansas City Looks like a great option for a week Nice pool and laundry Cool for extended stay Cheers 👍
I have never been to Kansas City but I’ve always been curious. Great accommodations! Very cozy suite w nice amenities. (Jack is so funny - “The dump station”)😅😂 I used to travel w my late hubby as much as possible when he worked for Callaway Golf. The amenities in Japan were teeny-tiny! Nothing like this. Nice indoor heated pool. Workout while waiting for laundry - convenient! 💪🏼. Thanks for sharing dear Alice and Jack. Sure wish we lived closer to each other. Happy Thursday dear friends!🎉💫✨👍🏼
This is such an interesting video. Thanks for sharing. I loved the view from the top too. I'm sure this video is just the beginning of all you can see there. It's cool that they have a vr area in the museum. Thanks for sharing this.
This was an awesome tour! Glad it was free of wasp attacks 😁
Apparently, the wasps were too busy mating to bother attacking my husband, from what I hear. This was a cool museum. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Kings Dominion is such an amazing park! Their Winterfest looks so much fun. Unfortunately, we have been way too busy to really get into the holidays, so it came and went. We were also extremely burned out and stayed in for NYE, though I wish I would've pushed myself to do the Carowinds NYE celebration. Your holiday plates look much better than the ones we got from Carowinds. Love all the party favors, lights, shows, and the fireworks display with the Eiffel Tower replica in the forefront. So much fun!! Hope 2025 will be a good one.
Winterfest at Kings Dominion really is a fun event. Hope you get to check it out in person one year. This was literally the first time in 20 years we did not stay in for New Year's Eve. I might like staying in a bit better than being out in crowds. But we did have a really fun time at this event. Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope 2025 is great for you and your family!

Very interesting place and video! I agree that we hear very little about WW1 compared to other wars, which is crazy given how significant of a role it played. I wish it really was the one war to end them all. That would've been nice. 😢 The trench exhibit was pretty wild. Crazy how quickly planes made their way into war as well. The newspapers, clothing, weapons, and the many other artifacts really brought those years to life, as did the time capsule. I also really liked the tower and area around it. Very nice views of KC!
Yeah, I had never really thought before about how this war was just a few years after the Wright Brothers first flight - and planes were already being used by militaries around the world. Kind of shocking how fast that all happened. And then tanks and battleships debut around the same time. Unfortunately, I don't hold out a lot of hope for the end of war. But, yeah, it would have been nice if the war to end all wars actually did that. But this was a very well done museum that helped us learn a bit more about WWI. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Really great museum 👍👍thanks for such an interesting tour, looks like you had a nice trip to Kansas ✌✌have a wonderful day
Kansas City was definitely fun to explore and this museum was a highlight. Thanks so much for watching - and for taking the time to comment!
Very cool museum. Seems like we are taught so much more about ww2 than ww1 in school. 💜Jenn
It really does seem that way. We definitely learned more about the WW2 in school. This museum was a cool way to learn a bit more about the first World War. Thanks for watching and commenting, Jenn!
Very nice way to spend NYE! I’m usually at home watching the ball drop on NYE! 😂🪩✨💫 The Peanuts characters are so cute! Firehouse dinner looks yummy. I’m sorry to hear you lost your cat and Jack’s beloved family member. God bless you throughout 2025!!! 🎉✨💫💖
Thanks for the condolences Krissy. Last year was hard in some ways but we made some great memories with Jack’s sister who passed over the years. And our cat too. And God is using those memories bring us comfort even during times of sadness. Happy New Year to you and Kenny as well. Hope 2025 is off to a great start!
@ ✨💖🥰
I was a volunteer there from 1993-96. Loved the Park Rangers and Volunteers.
I am sure that was a really cool experience. Thanks for watching - and for taking the time to comment!
Wow! I had no idea Kansas City had this museum. It looks fantastic! I’m like you- I don’t know a lot about WW I either- gorgeous views! This will definitely be on my list when I make it back up to Kansas City!
I miss the holidays already... love all the decorations and lights everywhere... very cool old home... great history to it... and it was the town library at one time...wow... love the idea of the Christmas Candlelight tour... such a nice community thing to be part of...
What a cool place! The chair lift looks like it would be fun! As we get older I would like to start visiting more places like this and just seeing the beauty of our country!
This is worth the tour
We are asleep by 9:30 pm on New Years Eve LOL!! However this looks like a fun place to celebrate New Years Eve with the family! We are going to have to take our little one to Kings Dominion in a couple of years! Sorry to hear about your loses in your family :( Love the countdown you did with the highlights from your travels!
Yes. New Year’s Eve usually sounds like a great excuse to stay in the house to us. But we enjoyed getting out and doing something this year. We had a fun night at the park. 2024 was a hard year in some ways for us. Hopefully 2025 will be better. Thanks as always for watching and commenting. Hope your new year is off to a great start!
Fascinating museum. I was recently googling WWI to learn more about it. Awesome overview.
Beautiful, Beautiful discovery to your channel, thank you for your sharing 👍👍
Intense history, but important history!
Great tour guys! Lots of interesting history and artifacts from World War 1 in there. I'll check it out if I'm ever in the area 🙂
This was such an interesting video! The museum had so many unique exhibits, like the trench warfare displays and the time capsule from 100 years ago. The Liberty Memorial Tower looks incredible too! Thanks for highlighting such a special place in Kansas City. Keep up the great work!👌👍
Looks like a nice museum 😃 I’ve been wanting to go 👍
I gotta agree with Jack. WWI for some reason wasn’t on my radar like other wars. Nice museum and very informative. Come on Jack it’s common knowledge Wasps like to mate in tall towers 😂
That is so cool. I love war museums like this. So cool. LIKE 5. 👍👍👍
Very interesting museum! Loved the tower and the view….but not the wasps 😮 I’m severely allergic to their stings!
Fantastic views of Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia. The shows, decorations, lights, and atmosphere were absolutely mesmerizing. The fireworks were beautiful, and the attractions looked like so much fun, a perfect spot to ring in the New Year. Wishing you a wonderful week and a Happy New Year. 🎆
This was a really fun New Year’s Eve event. It was a great way to bring the year to a close. Hope 2025 is off to a great start for you!

Happy New Year! We were in our pj's catching up on NFL games...and I loved it. But this looks like so much fun! Love the decorations and the petting zoo. I'm so sorry to hear about Wilbur and Jack's family member. Loss is so difficult. I hope 2025 is a fabulous year for you both.
I am a little envious of people in their pj’s at home on New Year’s Eve since that is our usual tradition. But this was a fun way to get out and do something fun. Thanks for the condolences. 2024 was a hard year for us in some ways. But we are finding comfort and even joy in our many memories of good times with those we lost. Thanks as always for watching and commenting. Hope 2025 is off to a good start for you as well!
Nice they could keep the Winter Wonderland going, even if it's a small part. Such good memories....childhood Christmas memories are some of my favorite. It still looks magical! I love it. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I would love to do this! What gorgeous homes and decorations. I love the themed trees from businesses and charities. I love that you can go your own speed....some tours feel like a forced march instead of a tour! I've never been to Edenton and now want to go! As usual, fabulous video.
