We explored reasons why. The Nutcracker ballet is very common in Tokyo, considered a popular annual Christmas and winter tradition. Major ballet companies stage multiple performances each season, often selling out to large audiences. We all were most impressed with this performance; all in all, exceptional.

There are always themed drinks for every show, and you can pre-order intermission drinks and pick them right up! There's also a very cozy wine loft on the Loge level with upscale wine and seating. What's not to love? On a similiar note, if you ever get to see the stage version of "Back to the Future' its a wonderful production! We saw it here yesterday and we're amazed how much we both loved it.

Most of the time it's a long wait for a mediocre experience that gets ruined because your group is stuffed with another group, usually the scare is only for the first person in the group. Or your group is too close to the group in front of yours. Not the case at Twisted Trails! They specifically make sure there is plenty of spacing between each group and the actors take time with your group. They all stay in character too, very clever humor and scare tactics. I was amazed how great this place was. The pricing was great as well, $25 per person gets you all three top notch attractions. The location was great too, it's about a mile off the road in the woods. I personally loved the "Muck Manor" attraction. The swamp part was awesome! Can't wait to see what the themes are next year!

While it could use a bit of repair and restoration in places, that doesn't take away from its unique charm and great atmosphere. We attended a concert there and were so pleased with the experience. The staff was welcoming and friendly, and the setting really transports you back in time--this historic space, built in the late 1800s, has an old-world elegance that's hard to find these days.

As you walk the hallway to the theater space, you can feel the atmosphere. Then when you walk in to the theater, you are welcomed with an absolutely stunning view of the three+ floors of visual nirvana. The space is stunning and I'll be the first to admit that It for sure needs some serious TLC. As we talked to folks, they all state that you should have seen it before we started cleaning it up. It is a work in progress so things will get updated as they can. Once the lights dropped and the band started playing, the acoustics in this building was amazing!! We wandered around from the floor to second floor and the audio sounded phenomenal regardless of where you are seated. Dating myself here but I feel like Statler and Waldorf(muppets) should be heckling from the boxes. We will for sure go back. If it's cold outside, wear a jacket or bring a blanket as it gets kind of chilly in here. They are working in that too so that suggestion may no longer be needed.

Artspace lofts and residence gallery is has an amazing idea. When I found out it was coming to…read moreHamilton, I really wished I had enough artistic ability to move into the building. Hamilton is an industrial town. Or was. Now post-industrial. It's bringing in a lot of interesting and creative ideas to the city. Like Artspace. "The project rehabilitated two internally connected historic buildings, a 1900 French Renaissance masterpiece originally known as the Mehrum Building, and the 1913 Lindley Block. A 1970s remodel covered the original storefronts with a metal screen that was removed in Spring of 2013, thereby restoring these century-old edifices to their original appearance." (Taken directly from http://www.artspace.org/our-places/artspace-hamilton-lofts#tab-node_place_full_group_overview. I don't have that much building knowledge but it's cool to know.) The non-profit does this amazing thing. They started in 1979 in Minneapolis and asked this really obvious question I'm not sure a lot of people think of. When gentrification happens, what happens to the artists? They saw them as low in income but assets in creativity. And Hamilton is The City of Sculpture! We need art! That just blows my mind. The non-profit use real estate development to create affordable places for artists to work, perform and display their work. Anyway, there are 42 units that I'm sure you can tour if you're looking for a place. One, two and three bedroom apartments. I'm not sure how the cost works. I just viewed the gallery. Which is in a really huge space. When I arrived there were residents working on something artsy and the manager was eager to have a chat. There are rotating art shows from residents and, I think, other folks. There's music. Recently there was a drum event I missed out on. Parking is easy to find. There's tons of street parking and a parking garage around the block. Lots, too. I'm unsure of hours. I showed up on a Thursday afternoon and they were open. It's free and there are lot of things to check out in the area. I intend on following their event calendar more closely now that I've checked it out. I'm excited to find out what they do next.
