I love this venue. It’s well maintained and spacious. Parking is plentiful and free. I don’t have to battle traffic. I go almost yearly for the Celtic Fest, and can’t think of a better place for it to be held.

Normally everything is great here however this year there was some upset and confusion about the arm bands at the fair they hold there. Be sure you ask if and when the wrist band time runs out because my kids were in line for a ride for about 20 mins and got up there to ride and they turned us away to go buy tickets. The arm bands were $25 a piece and patrons were lead to believe they would last the entirety of the hours open. They didnt! So you can imagine our discontent. It was most definitely disappointing...thankfully the lady at the booth we bought our arm bands at agreed there was even confusion on their end and she gave us enough tickets to go ride the ride we stood in line for 20mins for. Hopefully they get the situation resolved cuz we wont be back to another event there until they do. Thank u to the lady in our ticket booth who saw our side
