I didn’t have the breakfast since I didn’t want to pay extra for it. It looked very good. My travel companions did have the breakfast and they enjoyed it. The fruit looked fresh and my granddaughter said the scrambled eggs were good.

2/5 - Disappointing
Verified traveler
The Northstar Mine Powerhouse is way more informative and pleasing. State Park is overpriced and a bunch of scattered junk. Grounds are nicely landscaped.
