Saint Arnold Root Beer Booth

Saint Arnold Root Beer is made with Imperial Cane Sugar (absolutely no high fructose corn syrup) and lots of yummy (but secret) flavorings. The cane sugar gives it a sweetness and mouthfeel that cannot be achieved through corn syrup. The flavors explode in your mouth. The only way to improve on our Root Beer is to add a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Painted Ornaments

On Saturday afternoon from 2- 4pm, kids are welcome to join in the fun of creating painted ornaments. The location is right outside the Kidz Zone gate and $5 includes the paint and the ornament.

Kidz Zone With $20 Wristband

On Saturday at 11am the KIDS ZONE opens! Located safely inside a fenced area, a $20 wristband will give you full access!
