The woman who was staffing the visitors center when we dropped by was very informative and enthusiastic. So much so that we had a bit of trouble getting away to go see what we had already decided we wanted to see!

Staff was very helpful, and well informed. Gave us clear directions to "Mayberry" sites, as well as other attractions in the area.
I would not miss this as to find anything you really need to drop by the Visitor Center. They are very helpful and have good maps.Be prepared for a long speil as the ladies DO love Mt. Airy and DO speak "southern" which is a lot slower than north. Enjoy the leisurely pace of Mt. Airy. It is great.
The person working the day we were there was very friendly and helpful...went over a map of the area and gave us a great overview of what there was to see and do in the area. Definitely a good first place to stop when visiting Mount Airy.
We found this place helpful in seeing other things to do in the North Carolina area. If this is the main street visitor's center, they were well stocked with pamphlets of things to do in the area as well as free sweet tea.
Manned by helpful, friendly people who know the city and it's history
They are not only thorough in offering their help; They go out of their way to interact with tourists, becoming almost a new personal friend.
If you're a fan of the Andy Griffith show. Its all here. The residents don't call it Mayberry, but we're nice to you when you do :-) Come to Floyds and the Snappy Lunch. See the old jail and other landmarks. Take a squad car tour.
Visitors Center should consider that not all travelers to their town are there because of Andy Griffith and Mayberry. We just like exploring and visiting small towns. But they were very helpful.
Thank you for your email. I will make sure that I work with our Visitor Information Specialists to go over all there is to see and do in Mount Airy along with our Mayberry Attractions. I appreciate your review and we appreciate your comments to improve the efforts with our staff at the Mount Airy Visitors Center. Thank you again....
