My family and I visited Cross Insurance Center to experience the PBR Velocity Tour and they put on…read morea very good show. It was convenient that I could purchase Lot A parking in advance to ensure I was able to get closer to the building since my wife had surgery recently and had limited mobility for long distances. The staff at the Center are very friendly, helpful and willing to go out of their way to assist. One lady was nice enough to retrieve a wheel chair for my wife and walk us to the section where we were located. It was on the other side of the Center from the entrance. Prices for most food is commensurate with typical arena and stadium prices. Water will run you about $4, but I believe the beers were running close to $40 for 16oz cans. The ambiance of the Center is very dependent on who is entertaining at the time, but PBR does a great job with both music, entertainment and commentary throughout the entire competition. I had no issues while here and leaving took an acceptable amount of time if you knew were to position your vehicle in the various lines that made up the exit line.

She also ran my credit card and added the tip herself, albeit only 15% I found that a bit odd as I probably would have tipped more. We both ordered a flight to find out one of each of our choices was not available. We both picked a cider instead - big mistake. Super sweet and medicine taste. The flight was poured out of cans, taps were not being used for some reason and some of our choices were poured out of cans sitting from the day before. We were the first customer of the day and got served day old beer for part of our flight, kinda gross. Glad we stopped in but I'd pass on this one.

I appreciated that the booths were separated from the bar. I'm not a drinker and would not want my little granddaughter staring at fix sitting at the bar and getting drunk. My daughter and three axes for the first time. It took some getting used to but was cheap. A tablet is given that controls an overhead projector. There were many target displays to choose from and it was enjoyable. We came on ladies night and found most appetizers were half off. The bad: I struggle to find anything "bad". I would offer one suggestion - decide what type of restaurant you want to be, focus your menu around it, and drop the items that don't fit. Having a special smoked brisket on a menu with mozzarella sticks seems like an Applebees strategy trying to accommodate every taste. If BBQ is what you do best, expand on BBQ. Overall: I would definitely dine here again. The staff were very welcoming, the ambience was comfortable, the seating was comfortable, the space was clean.

Ambiance: You will be sitting outside under a covered area (bleachers style). The bathrooms are located right outside the performance area. There is a snack bar selling food and bevs (chips, popcorn, and soda). Show: The show is very kids friendly. I enjoyed it even without bringing children. Some of the jokes were corny and aimed towards kids FYI! Kids Friendly: Timber Tina and her crew truly makes this show an unforgettable moment for children! The show pauses so that kids can safely get involved with some wood chopping activities with their lumberjack. At the end, they even get a little certificate that is signed by their favorite lumberjack to show that they are now a little lumberjack themselves! A lucky child will get to bring home their very own "rabbit" chair (shipping might be involved if you live out of states and did not drive). Tickets: We bought online and they were slightly cheaper than buying at the door.

My one kid still has his "rabbit" chair in his room from when he was four years old and now he's 20. This is one of the absolute best family friendly shows we've ever been to. Timber Tina (who was on Season 2 of Survivor among other shows and host for years of competition lumberjack and lumberjill on ESPN) has been the host and owner of this show now in their 30th season. You'll get to see the red and green teams of two compete in many different logging competitions including climbing, log rolling, chainsaw cutting, axe throwing, and chopping. There's some "adult" joking but no cursing and everyone will have a great time. The show runs nightly at 7pm and lasts about 90 minutes. The bleacher style seating can get uncomfortable so you may consider being a cushion. They also have port-o-potties if needed, a souvenir and snack stand, and parking is plentiful and free. The show goes rain or shine. Most of the seating is covered. I'd have to assume that it'd be a no-go in a thunderstorm. The children mid-show will get an opportunity to use a saw under the supervision and guidance of the competitors, and there will also be a Q&A to ask anything whether lumberjack related, about Tina, or anything you may have a desire to have answered. Everyone got their turn. Everyone was genuinely nice and friendly and maybe you'll also learn a thing or too about the sport. Did you know there are several colleges with lumberjack as a degree? You and your family have to make this a must-do if you're in Maine. Especially if you have kids. Even if you don't. As I said, this was our third or fourth time, and each time we brought someone new with us on vacation we have to go see the show. They also loved it as much as we do. It just makes you feel good. Yo Ho! The call of the lumberjack!
