I can’t say enough great stuff about this place. The setup is amazing. The little pond is perfect and my dog LOVED it. There’s also an area where she could just run and chase as much as she wanted. The wash station is the best part honestly. We will definitely be back!

Light show for Christmas was just so much fun. Truly an experience worth taking. The Santa Workshop area had so much neat and timely shopping. Some festive goodies to snack on little S'mores kits to make treats at the outdoor fire pits. A fun train ride with a very long line. There was a beautiful sand sculpture and some fabulous children's art. Highly recommend it for a Holiday Treat.

My husband and I love taking our pups here. It's such a clean and wonderful large space for them to run and roam around in. It also has a separate space for small dogs and another separate space for the splash pads. There is also a dog wash station that you pay $10 to wash your dog. We absolutely LOVE it here !!!
