I love when they have board game day! I've also been on a "field trip" with them to visit the You Are Beautiful studio. They've got a ton of stuff going on, and a mostly-comfortable, if industrial atmosphere to hang out. I'm looking forward to visiting when the nice weather returns to check out their new deck and backyard area. Glad they have open events for the public so I can enjoy an interesting time with them without paying membership fees for stuff I wont use. Their "stuff" is pretty cool though! Definitely impressive woodworking area, 3D Printer, I think they mentioned an embroidery machine and vinyl cutting machine, as well as a plethora of tools I personally wouldn't know the names of. Most importantly the members there seem very friendly and welcoming and down to earth. So I'll keep coming back.

The north end of the fair is now the Museum of Science and Industry and this harbour borders the south end which is near a replica of the Statue of the Republic which was made famous at the World's Fair. The replica was made in 1913 and is awesome and represents America's freedom and it's pioneer spirit.

The service was a little disorganized, but we also came on a Thursday evening so they may have been short-staffed. Cash only, but there is an ATM. Average price and average food.
