    Perfect place to visit on the Parkway and purchase some locally made quality crafts. They have very good quality crafts and souvenirs. I really enjoyed the different quilts . The mountain to Sea trail is also near by and you can take a nice walk in the woods.

    It's ok. It's like a Cracker Barrel on the inside. The trails around it are ok.

    There are lots of artisans with hand made crafts to sell.

    The Asheville Folk Art Center is always fun to visit, but in the Fall, when the leaves are turning, it is extra beautiful. Today there were glass blowers making pumpkins outside the building.

    Beautiful displays from mountain artists. Also a well arranged shop with many more mountain crafts.

    I'm not into folk art, but this place was pretty cool. Lots of neat local art. Nice afghans.

    It is very neat , but like others have stated the arts and crafts items are expensive though the cost goes to supporting the local artists. Still its fun to walk though and check out. Worth a stop if you are visiting the area.

    My rating is based on visits to the center's grounds and not the items for sale. I would not buy anything here, but I love to walk around. There are some trails and this is good place to start out for a walk.

    I was driving to Asheville on a vacation and saw the sign for Folk Art Center and I had to stop. Really glad I did! If you're into Folk Art, this is your place! If you're not into Folk Art, then 1) why did you stop? and 2) why write a negative review when it turns out it's exactly what the name says?

    In any case, I'm not someone who likes quilts, but there were so many AMAZING quilts there for display that I had to take pictures. (Other things you weren't allowed to take pictures of for understandable reasons.) They have a small shop for us tourists with the nicest staff. They have gorgeous pottery, jewelry, art, and a lovely museum upstairs. Definitely worth the stop!

    A good visitwish it weren't so pricey.
    I understand that a worker is worth his/her wages, but we came ready to spend a modest amount of money out of our modest vacation budget. It was beautiful to browse at all the handiwork of the local artists, but sadly, we couldn't afford to take much home with us. Gorgeous center with friendly, helpful staff.
