You can dance, dress up and sing, learn about what lives below the ice, be a cat, cast a spell with Taylor Swift lyrics, and help aliens understand humans. This event epitomizes how Minnesotans don't let freezing temps keep them from enjoying the lake and expressing their creativity.

Reflecting on this…read morepast winter reminded me of the surreal experience of standing on top of this frozen lake having moved from a two season state. If you've never been when it's frozen over I would highly recommend coming during their kite festival which also happens during the art shanty exhibits. If you show up to the kite festival on a whim, no worries, the park will have kites for sale. I would highly encourage coming with footwear that has good traction or added cat tracks to get secure grip on the ice.

Recently celebrated a friend's birthday on one of the Yachts here. This is actually the 3rd time…read more The first 2 times we were on a different model than this most recent one. Both models were 2 floors generally nice. I did like this most recent one better because it had a front deck and way better seating areas in my opinion. Staff were nice. The bar/snack options were only okay in my opinion. Very limited to type of drinks they could mix and also a tiny bit of inconsistency depending on who made the drink. The drinks were reasonably priced. The rental package I guess required a meal plan - which chips and salsa and veggie tray were chosen. They also sold a few snacks at the bar (a few typical bar snacks). We were able to use our own device to place music via an aux. It was a 2 hr event, we had so much fun the time went by really fast. I would recommend their rentals!

I have booked a private cruise through Wayzata Bay Charter Cruises for 3 different years and it has…read morebeen an amazing experience every time. 2 different occasions was on the Voyager boat and the most recent was on the Elixir. Both were 2 story boats with a stereo system, bar on board, and 2 bathrooms. You can take a look at the boat layouts online and choose one that fits for your party. When booking a private cruise, it is mandatory to select a food package so keep in mind that the price of the boat you see online does not initially include the total of the food costs and the additional taxes and fees. The staff have always been so nice and really create a fun environment. It always goes by fast because we are all having so much fun! I will continue booking through them because we have never had a bad experience.

We decided to go with the 2 hour rental and were happy that we did. The 1 hour rental would not have been enough time given the massive size of the lake. My only critique is to train the young high school boys a little bit about customer service. They were very rude while assisting us with getting on and off the jet skis and looked like it was a pain to be helping us. On the other hand, the high school girl checking us in and out was great!

As I would turn the machine would lose a lot of power and my partner ran out of gas with a hour left, so they didn't fill up both machines asine still had half a tank left. $600 deposit and make sure to take a good video of the machines. The process of receiving instruction was a little odd as a younger kid was giving us rules then a seemingly drunk older man in a truck kept talking over him who I assume is the owner? Kind of a weird dynamic going on here. The process of taking off and riding was good no issues there.

This past week it was time to take my parents out for their 50th anniversary. Called over there a few weeks ago and talked to someone and she said come on it they are early people don't worry too hard about just a couple of us. The other night we showed up at 445 and the highschool girls cocked an attitude that omg you don't have a reservation for 3 and we can't help you. One of the season waitress overheard and took care of us and seated us. Salads were great like normal. Baked potato and brown potatoes were great. Steak was nothing to write home about and was a tuff monster.. Was too full to do desert and took mom and dad back home. Good was that we were in and out in less than an hour. As I was leaving I noticed half the tables were still empty. Was kinda schitty that 80 year old dad that can't walk had to sit on the high tables. Used the bathrooms before we left and they were nasty. My eyes really opened up on this visit and didn't leave a great taste in our mouth for a $200 dinner.

The boat was in perfect condition prior to them working on it. Won't be back to them every again. Many other good shops on the lake.
