| - It was MUCH better than I remembered it to be. I think this was the 2nd time I've been as an adult - but I kind of enjoyed it. It's still kind of cheesy, not something would immediately want to go again in the near future, but I can totally see the appeal for first timers and kids.
And if you love horses, there are so many of them. Don't forget to stop by the area in the front where you can peek into their stables!
The regular price for an adult is $65. I don't think it's worth $65. You get a 4 course meal which in itself I would rate 2 stars, but it's filling and decent. It includes a tomato soup with garlic bread, half a chicken a la swiss chalet calibre, ONE rib, ONE potato baked, and something that resembles a frozen mccains apple pie.
Then there is the 1.5 hour show. It's entertainment, but it's pretty cool. Beautiful horses, and you have to appreciate the skill involved riding and training them, and fighting on them!
Try to find a corporate discount, or wait for a sale. We were able to get tickets for $45 with my corporate discount. They also have some deal where you can add $16 and get a program, birthday announcement, and a flag. I wonder if you can do that for only one person in your party.
Parking is $11 on site, but if you leave the Ex grounds and go across the bridge in to the city, you can fnid some free street parking.
A note for anyone with asthma or allergies like me - I'm allergic to horses, and I started feeling it halfway into the show. The reactine helped, but then my asthma started acting up and I found it hard to breathe. Be prepared!
Fully recommended if you've never been - or haven't been in more than 10 years.
