I recommend bringing a lawn chair to sit on. They do have a few stadium style seats on the right side but it's recommend to have your own. There is one thing I want to say, please be respectful and bring a small chair, there is limited seating and it's flat. I've been a few times and there is always someone with an obnoxiously oversized chair that makes it hard for people behind them to see. Before the show you can get delicious farm fresh food from Enos Farm. I look forward to their tacos every show! You can also enjoy a cold beer, or wine, but make sure to bring cash as its cash only and no ATM on site. We always have a great time and are loo forward to going back each year!

It was a very nice evening.

The renovation resulted in about 70 seats (about half as many as before). There is a lot of nice leg room and it's easy to get to your seats. I ordered our tickets easily on my phone and received them via email shortly after the transaction. Once we arrived at the theater, I just scanned the email and we were all set. The staff is very helpful with that process as they understand it is completely new. Last night's show was all sold out an hour before, so it's nice to be able to check and see availability before traveling there.

We found ourselves at the theatre tonight for the first time for a Vintage Hitchcock Radio Show. We stopped by an hour before the show to purchase tickets. Much to our dismay, we found out there is a $2 fee per ticket to use a credit card. A kind woman behind us stepped up and offered to purchase our tickets for us. Her husband was in the show, and she said she was more than happy to do so. It was very kind of her, and I hope we can one day pay it forward. This is an example of the shining community at the theatre. Everyone was warm and welcoming. I cannot wait to go back and see another show in the future!

I already had the brewery to try but relatives that live somewhat locally to the town added more justified hype and momentum to give this brewery a try. Without a doubt we will be returning! Might first beer so far with Pivo is their excellent their American Light Lager known as Rice ville Light Lager. As the name suggests this is a rice lager which I do really enjoy getting. This beer is crisp, slightly sweet, malty and a clean finish. That is a highly excellent beer and I can't wait to try more of their beer options. Excellent, excellent starting beer with this brewery!

My only suggestion would be to perhaps add a note on their website somewhere that they are attached to the school, rehabilitation/wellness center and kind of tucked around the backside of the building.

That said, we still had a good time, very much enjoyed seeing Tonic Sol-Fa and if they are ever back there again, it might be worth taking the 4 hour drive once again.

It was super impressed. It literally kept going on and on and on. so many fun interesting things. We stopped and got a hotdog at the cafeteria, which was nice because we were getting a little hungry and thirsty on this long walk. I would recommend bringing dollar bills so you can buy coins and put them into the different coin operated machines that they have. They have a lot of those around the entire facility and it's one of the only interactive options. Obviously everything looked really cool. I think that the only thing that would make it better would be to have a more interactive aspect to some of the parts, but I'm not sure how they would do that and I don't think they're gonna change anything. It's still well worth a visit.

Lots of lights and lots sounds, not to mention the number of things to look at. Plan for walking up and down hills and walkways/stairs. Some areas are too narrow for mobility aids and might be a tight fit if you are plus sized, like I am. That said, it was worth every step to see it all. The automated music machines, infinity room, and the carousels were my favorite parts. I'm sure there's plenty I didn't notice, so I would return to take in more of it. Be prepared for irregular temperatures throughout the experience, as you move between indoors and outdoors and gated locations versus not. There are many restrooms along the way, as well as a cafe halfway through where you can rest and recharge. We didn't stop there, but it smelled great as we walked through. Get your tokens at the front desk to save a little money. You'll need them for the automated music machines. I bought 15, but I could have used 5-10 more. Luckily, you still get to watch and listen when others use their tokens.
