Last Sunday, it was my first time to see a play on the mountain play. There were many things that I had been concerned about before I got home that night.
Since they mention the parking space is limit, I decided to park my car at the high school in Mill Valleys. I was nervous because what would have happened if there were not enough parking spaces for my family. Actually, we arrived at 9:40 am. and there were plenty of parking spaces. That concern had been taken care of. After I went there, I realized that even when the parking space is full, you could go around and park on the other side of the school on the back as long as you could get back to the front drop off, there were shuttles to take you to the mountain.
Then, I was concerned about the seats. What happened if all the good seats were taken? Actually, good seats were taken but it was not too bad. There are more shaded area than the mountain play association said. I think they built more recently. The cover area didn't block out the sun completely. In fact, it reduce the Sun to half. If you can bear the heat, you could sit all the way down and close to the stage. However, we decided to sit near the top because we think that we could hear the sound pretty well. It turn out we were right.
Some people are meant or simply don't mind things around much. They came after other people but the set up the blanket widely to make it hard for people who need to get out to use the restroom. Also, when you share your seat with them, they tend to move their seats a little by little until you realized you were put too far out.
The restroom is fine for a mountain. It's close and they offer limited of water. The food and the wine selection are great. The price is not very expensive. You can order cold beer, wine, shaved ice.
The shuttle service is excellent. After the play almost done, we existed the area and already saw Mountain Play Express shuttle waiting. They organizers sent people in and the shuttle took off in short time.
If they have good play for entire family kids and adults, I will go back again in the future. I will park my car and take the shuttle service again. Maybe next time I can hike down the mountain.
Overall, I had a good time with my family. Great experiences added to life. Don't forget to eat your dinner at Mill Valleys if you come from other areas. The Mill Valleys city has everything you need. read more
