Jill M, Monona

The shows were good for my kids with them showing at county fairs. The active projects in the exhibition hall were great! Midway was clean! I was not nervous with my kids riding them. Jason Aldean concert was great!

Liked: We liked it all
Disliked: Newspapers when walking in were to cumbersome.
