I also bought wristbands for the kids that were $15/each and allowed for unlimited rides and the gaming truck. We also enjoyed the new mini golf course, which is art themed of course, and that was $12/child. We took advantage of the food trucks and especially liked the kettle korn and paradise ice cream. Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to look around at the studios, but I definitely plan to keep an eye out for more events that will bring us back here.

Paul knows his stuff and is so willing to share that knowledge. Tip: Each person should pack their own ziplock bags & drinks in a small backpack and carry it with them. We were not all together most of the time so having 1 backpack for family wasn't convenient. Also, pretty obvious, but a backpack is much more sensible than a bag with handles when you are searching for shark teeth and fossils and need to use your hands. It was a great day & it really sparked some curiosity about not only the shark teeth but also the geology and oceanography!

What is so fantastic about visiting this gallery is that no 2 artists do similar work. Every one brings something very unique and often times something you have never seen before.

From the moment Carlos picked us up in his amazing vehicle, until he dropped us off later on in the day, we made the most fabulous memories together! His attention to detail was amazing. He opened and closed our doors. He escorted us into each winery. He communicated with the winery staff to make certain we were situated. He took pictures of the day, which he shared with us later. He provided a lovely charcuterie snack for us. He was a wealth of knowledge about wines and wine making and the history of the area and the beautiful vistas. As you can see, I could go on and on!! I have already recommended Carlos and Hipstoricdc to others!! Thank you Carlos for such an amazing experience!
