Made from car parts. Huge. Very big and tall. Looks to be about 30' more or less. Well taken care of but a little dusty. Mostly clean. Lots of photo takers. NOT official Bumblebee, but close. your kids will love it. Highly Recommended

During the night while the artist was speaking his phone started ringing and disrupted the whole performance. How can you ask an artist to perform at this venue and not have the common decency to keep your phone off. Unprofessional and rather off putting. Show was great & the building is beautiful.

We were able to get tickets online at a small discount and they had a large parking lot to park in. There were bathrooms and a small concession stand. The show is outside but has the back row covered for a sunny day. They were so entertaining. I loved how they shared historic facts and kept the show moving along as well as included the audience to keep children's attention. It's a must do if you are in the area.

The biggest crowd favorites were the pole climb, log roll, and axe toss, plus the fun of being lucky enough to sit on the winning side. The kids absolutely loved cheering for the competitors, and it was so much fun watching them get excited about a sport most of us knew very little about beforehand. The show runs a little over an hour and does a great job balancing action, humor, and audience participation. It kept the students entertained the entire time. Since we attended as part of a group outing, I cannot really speak to pricing or the full customer service experience, but every staff member we interacted with was friendly and helpful. Plus both Owen and Chase hung around for autographs and photos with all the kids. There was also plenty of room for our five motor coaches to park easily. Overall, this ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend.

We toured the indoor area, then stepped outside and started out walk to the Fort. There were several things to see on the walk between the park and the lakeshore. Once we reached the fort, we visited all the buildings and exhibits, in the order suggested by the site map. Through the displays and the short movies, we learned a lot about the pre-colonial and colonial history of the upper midwest. For the cost ($15.25 per adult), it's a great way to spend several hours, learn quite a bit and do so at a low cost.

You don't get the satisfaction of holding a grip of tickets, unfortunately. But it's fun, nevertheless. There are games like claw machines, virtual reality cars, skee ball, basketball shooting games and lots more. My kids spent half an hour or so here twice while we were on the island, and they had a great time. When it came time to redeem their tickets, there was a good variety of prizes at different ticket points. There were candies, toys and trinkets. We left with a lot of candy and an axolotl blanket. We didn't get anything to eat or drink, but apparently, Carousel Arcade has food and beverages, including beer ($3 beer was advertised on the window!).
