The animals and arena experience was fantastic. The kids had a blast petting them while waiting for food. It’s not hot in the arena and the insulation does a great job. The food was over an hour wait, and while it was delicious the wait was a little long and steak was slightly overdone. Food Staff could be slightly more welcoming however 1 young lady in particular at the bar was delightful and ensured she had delivered exceptional service.

The band that played was not very good. I did not enjoy their music. Firstly, it was too loud and secondly the singer really did “mess songs up”. I do give her full marks for singing but the tone and loudness was deafening. Keep up the good work Brothers on hospitality.
