Nice , Big , clean , safely park . In winter has Ice skating, inside the pavilion there is ice skating for the little ones. Admission is $20 plus $5 for skate rental. Even if you don't go ice skating, I don't think that's right. Many more people would come to the fair and buy food. But now you have to pay $20 just to get in. There are also many vendors selling food and hot chocolate outside. There is a fair where you can buy jewelry, toys, and handmade knitted items. In the middle, there are gas burners where you can roast marshmallows. I recommend it.
