    This is our second year with the igloo experience. It is after Christmas so not as fun and festive outside in the igloos and I wish ours had been decorated with more festive lights (white lights with a little gold beads. Other igloos had multi color lights. The serve was good and the drinks too. They ran out of all their red wines!!!

    When we got sat we found out we didn’t have the right count to include two kids… when we asked the host staff to see if we could move to another table, they were more than gracious and understanding and coordinated the move. They were patient and set us up at another table. We were able to enjoy our meal and the kids were able to spread out. Many thanks to the host staff. We have been having a family Christmas Eve dinner for many years and this staff has always been attentive and helpful.
