Love stopping on our way home from the coast. Items are pretty pricey but worth the money. The kids enjoyed stopping at the playground. We didn't have a chance to ride the train or carousel but the kids got to seenit in action. Apparently both rides have a schedule and they stop at a certain time of the day. I'll assume it's 5pm on Sundays because that's about the time we got there. Super fun for the kids, nonetheless. Cool experience for them on their way home. Staff was helpful in the stores and the bathrooms were clean
It's an interesting place. It's really worth to take a rest and have some simple meals here. All employees are friendly. The rest rooms are clean and comfortable. Better than expected.
We used to love this place. We would stop on our way out and again on our way back. Pretty much everything that made it awesome is gone. It used to feel kinda homey but now it feels more commercial. This is all based on our last four visits. No samples, no wine tasting, the prices now are through the roof. I used to buy stuff every stop. Now I just don't. The restaurant is good and so is the deli. It's still a great place to stop and stretch your legs and make use of clean bathrooms. Sadly, we're done with shopping here.
It's a nice in between, there's a lot of things to do. There's also a lot of fresh fruit and other things you could get like ice cream or a small train ride around the area. It's worth the stop just to make good memories.
I love this place and I stop by every single time I'm near it. However I have to say that this last time that I bought pistachios we were all extremely disappointed as they no longer taste the same. I don't know if it's because they're individually pre-bag now but the flavor is just not there on the garlic pistachios even my 9-year-old said they tasted different. I also went to the restaurant for the first time ever. The steak was delicious but they served me rotten lettuce in my salad, the rice was clumpy and when I asked for a little bit more strawberry in the lemonade the waitress put so much that I couldn't even drink it.
