A shameful monument to injustice and bigotry. Sandblast the mountain!

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

The lights in the park were outstanding and very pretty and festive!  The admission price I felt was overpriced for the activities that were available since we got there at 5 pm (skyride ended at 5) and still had to pay full price 49.95 for park and tubing. It was a rainy day why we decided to purchase at the gate. My kids enjoyed the snow tubing but most activities was more geared to smaller kids and some parts of the park was closed. Also, the bathrooms were nasty and needed cleaning.
