| - That damn fire spouting preying mantis has shortened my life by 5 years, I have mini heart attacks every time it goes off. I learned that it was actually constructed for Burning Man, and they could've left it there! I did like the "locks of love" at the entrance, leftover from Life is Beautiful.
I've been here a couple times now, don't really need to go back. I covered all the little shops and "food stands", the only place that was of worth was Simply Pure. I'm lazy and don't feel like writing a review for each place we tried, so I will just put it all together here and summarize.
Overpriced boutiques. I'm all for supporting local businesses, but the prices were outrageous. Food stands were ok, but nothing spectacular, and for the price, you can do a lot better.
Pinches Tacos-overpriced street tacos
The Beatnik Coffee-not sure how you can ruin iced coffee
Bin702-one of the more decent places to drink/snack here
ChillSpot by SasaSweets-worst Halo Halo ever
I'm not a fan of the "Downtown Rangers" or whoever they are that accost you at the entrance, I don't understand why you would want to scare away kids and families, it seems like this place would be more suited for them anyways. Metered parking was a bitch, 2 hour time limit and the parking enforcement Nazis are out in effect!
The coolest thing was the enormous slide and at the end of the park, the old train engine that is a traditional men's barber shop inside.
