My family loves this place every floor is so fun. Wish Bangor had more fun places like this. Price is kinda high but worth it. Four stars due to price.

This waterfall is so pretty in the evening as suns going down and they have lights on it, and they also have picnic tables and benches not super big but worth checking out a good size parking lot and also a walking path. Five stars!!
