It wasn't too busy when I visited since it was outside the busy season, so I was able to take my time and really soak it all in.

Lots of other people also didn't seem to care or be aware of other people's presence. The general demographic here was definitely not my scene. Though middle aged to older population seemed kind and genuine. Drink prices are to be expected but food trucks are a little overpriced. Recommend finding food and a spot to sit earlier in the evening--lines for food are crazy near and after sunset. Expect to stand in line for 15+ minutes. Concert opener and headliners were pretty good considering technical difficulties. Employees were stationed at all trash receptors to ensure trash, food and recycling were allocated into the correct bins--that was neat to see! I hadn't ever experienced that.

They give them many of those opportunities, too. At one point, one of them was on the phone and cheering about getting something like a job. I wasn't sure. The other guide joined her and started cheering. They also encourage the kids to use the bathroom outdoors since that's what they would do in nature. I didn't know that and had nothing, such as tissue, to give to the kids. I don't recommend them.
