"Okay Entertainment"
October 2025
The entertainment was okay but not outstanding. The same could be said of the food. Do not get the unsweet tea - it was awful and chemically tasting. The seating is WAY too close to each other to the point where it was difficult to move your arms to eat. The entire experience was NOT worth the money spent on the tickets.

Tip: They pack you in like sardines; you'll be touching the people on either side of you. The soup did not come with a spoon; the only utensil you'll receive is a fork.

"Big disappointment-The Civil War is over"
October 2025
The show was entertaining as far as the part with the horses. Although the could have done without running the cattle and other animals around the ring. The part I didn't like was how they pitted the audience as south and north. The war between the states in past history and we need to work to being a united country.

Tip: Seating is so you are stuck in your row unless you are on the end of a row.

"Delay/confusion"
October 2025
My ticket wasn't at the check in desk, they told me someone else had it. After a bit of back/forth with 3 workers and my showing my emailed receipt, they printed a new ticket. I then learned that I was seated far from the others in my group and asked if I could be seated closer. I was told it was sold out and I couldn't be moved. I waited until almost showtime and asked a different worker who found a lot of vacant seats and I moved.

Tip: Good show for children 8 and under.
