Mayberry Replica Courthouse, Mount Airy

What a cool experience! It was a little crowded, which made getting photos a little more difficult. You can walk in the jail cell - pretty cozy, no wonder Otis felt at home. You can sit behind Sheriff Andy’s desk for a photo. There’s no admission charge, but donations are accepted. There are souvenirs available for purchase. Make sure you use the restroom elsewhere - their restrooms are out of order. According to a sign posted by “Gomer,” “you can use the outhouse.” - which is a port-a-potty.

If you enjoyed the Andy Griffith show then you will enjoy the Courthouse and jail because it is like you stepped onto the set. You have a self guided tour of the space. When we visited on site bathroom was out of order. You can step I to the jail cells so fun picture opportunity.

We went on a Sunday so perhaps that was why it was so boring. They were running Andy Griffiths police car rides, $50 a car load. But the wait was too long for our schedule that day. The car takes you around the neighborhood and to Andy's house. We drove there ourselves. It was fun to see the courthouse and the Darlings shack. There were a lot of cobwebs and no one is really keeping it up. But take your photos like we did and say you were there. :-)

Like stepping onto the set of the Andy Griffith show! It was really cool for my kids to see in person and the history the people there can share is priceless. Gift shop with neat things at decent prices!

We had the most fun ever here! This is a great place to bring back memories of the show, and for taking pictures.
