You will find door hangers, paintings, clothing and even homemade spices for your homecooked meals. The fun doesn’t stop there though! The kids in your life will enjoy the Sugar High Kids Area complete with inflatables, rock climbing wall, obstacle course and the splash pad will be open as well! Also, the Tigers and Crimson Tide games will be on TV screens just in case that’s your excuse for not coming.

Kids and adults of all ages can have a great time. Whether its the carousel, tilt-a-whirl or something more intense, you’re guaranteed to have a grand time!
