-M. O.: Head to the very top. You'll love the view! Also, a great venue for those concerts! Big enough to handle a large crowd...small enough to make it feel intimate.
Jennifer Jimenez: Amazing venue!! If you choose to sit in the cheapest seats, go for the very back row, in the middle. Great sound, more room to dance and a place to lean against.
Melissa C: Wear good walking shoes. It's a steep hike through the woods.
