Once inside the park, you’ll be surrounded by unique restaurants, bars, and hip retail outlets selling a variety of clothes, toys and food.The feature attraction for kids is the children’s park. Located in a mostly-shaded area, (key for those hot summer months) the park contains a 33-foot tall slide.
