We rivere able to make several additions to our activitjes <br />lineup, \n€ epanded our food and beverage offerings and ue streamlined pricing <br />by rolling out pay one price admission. All of this leads to creating more reasons, <br />for more people to visit. <br />And, as mentioned previously, we believe that Covid will end up benefiting us in the <br />long run, as people will be coming from out of the area. Fanrilies are also anxious <br />to get out and have a slice of normalcy! And, for this reason, vre added Hump Days <br />this year (2020). We've opened on Wednesdays to allowthe over-zoomed kids and <br />their thinly stretch parents a nrid-ueek break. This is also a day that vr,e'll see far <br />fei.uer people, rnaking it a better option for people needing more distancing. <br />2500 r:haracter lirrit <br />Additional lnformation You may notice from previous years that our numbers ra,ere dor,rn in 2019.
