The good: Food trucks and beer tents Interactive conservation tents for children to learn about the park Plenty of blow-up bounce houses for children 2 concert stages Wonderful firework display Great location right off the water and good advertisment of Berkley Park Only $5 to attend Plenty of parking, had shuttle buses, and walking distance for some. The bad: Need more options for food because lines were an hour wait Some beer tents ran out of cups to serve the beer They need more that 1 ATM if everything is cash only (it broke down half way into the night) Overall I think the good out weights the bad. I had a blast listening to the music while standing in line and watching fireworks. Make sure to bring a blanket or a chair because the firework display was great!

Updating last year's review to say this spot is slowly becoming a traditional for my girls and I…read more We went a few days before the 4th and they're so nice here. One guy even gave them some smoke bombs and a giant parachute on the house. Ok now for the nuts and bolts: When I was a teenager, I went nuts for fireworks. We'd stop on the way to the Lake of the Ozarks and just blow through money to put on a show for the family. Times changed and honestly I lost all interest... until my neighbors invited us over to play with their kids and some smaller fireworks last year. We determined we had to get at least some this year, and this was the highest rated spot on Yelp. It delivered! We weren't looking for much as I have two young kids; smoke bombs, parachutes, poppers, sparklers, and my oldest really wanted those flaming hens that lay eggs. We were in luck on a humid summer night before the 4th, finding everything we needed. I can't say the value was there.. these kind of tents are notorious for being overly inflated, even in more normal times. However, we don't do this often so whatever, we're paying for some fun entertainment for a night or two. Staff was very friendly, complimenting my daughter's dress and chatting her up. The look on my kiddo's face made it worth parting with $50-100, and I'd probably go the extra few miles out of the way to return next year.

No matter where you sit in this stadium, you will have a good view. Even if you stand in the walking area, you will be able to see the action. Or you will catch the action on the many tvs located in the stadium. The Argyle suites are luxurious and provided a nice air conditioned area outside of the heat. They have a large fridge, many cabinets, multiple places to sit, and a little patio area with about 10-20 seats. They also serve food outside of the suites with a range of pizza, roasted vegetables, a variety of desserts, brauts, and coffee. A bar is also available. One downside is how expensive the food and merchandise is. I think the prices are crazy! Also the security wasn't super friendly when my bag was slightly over the size. Besides that, great experience!
