I also bought wristbands for the kids that were $15/each and allowed for unlimited rides and the gaming truck. We also enjoyed the new mini golf course, which is art themed of course, and that was $12/child. We took advantage of the food trucks and especially liked the kettle korn and paradise ice cream. Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to look around at the studios, but I definitely plan to keep an eye out for more events that will bring us back here.

It took a little longer to get our pieces back, but it was worth the wait, just be mindful if you have something you want as a quick turnaround.

Parking: This is the toughest part - since this art festival is popular, expect a lot of time to find parking around the neighborhood. The streets are narrow so leave your larger vehicles behind.

ESIO - Your Trading Card Game HQ…read more My friend Louis has been introducing me to the world of trading card games -- specifically Sorcery, which is surprisingly deep and addicting. This whole TCG (trading card game) culture is huge -- there are cards out there worth everything from less than a dollar to literal millions, and there's a passionate community trading, playing, and competing worldwide. Enter ESIO. This store has everything you need to dive headfirst into this rabbit hole -- card boxes, sleeves, roll-up playmats, specialty dice, and more. I came in looking for a card box to hold my first set of Sorcery cards and walked out with exactly what I needed. The selection was solid, the checkout was smooth (Apple Pay ), and they even had free dice at the counter -- nice touch. The staff was super helpful and clearly know their stuff. You can tell they're into the games and happy to get new players started. I also like that they have the more advanced accessories (premium dice, playmats, etc.) for when I decide to level up my setup. If you're into TCGs -- Sorcery, Magic, Pokémon, you name it -- or if you're just curious and looking to start, ESIO is the perfect place to get your gear and connect with people who share the same passion. I'm excited to keep building my collection and my skills -- and this is definitely where I'll come back for supplies.
