Amusement park ride
👍👍 I was looking for something to do last minute and gave this place a try. I honestly didn’t know what to expect because I didn’t look it up. It did NOT disappoint!
It was amazing!! I enjoyed it as well as my 4 year old toddler. The ride at the end was amazing! I would go back again just to experience...
