Over the years, they’ve introduced plenty of new and exciting amenities like live music nights, tarot readings, crafting, morning yoga, bike rentals, chair massages, plenty of lawn games, campfires and cocktails throughout the season—and each year seems to offer even more incredible amenities than before.
