Visitors can lay in hammocks under technicolored lights, play games, enjoy summertime food favorites and drink in the beer garden.
For 2021, there is a new set of brightly colored hammocks, which will undergo regular, enhanced cleaning protocols.

Four riverside hammock lounges will be available for 90-minute increments Friday through Sunday for a $75 fee. Each lounge can accommodate up to 10 people.
For those who would rather be active than relax, there's cornhole, giant Connect Four, giant Legos, giant Jenga and bocce to keep families, couples and groups of friends busy through the summer.
To eat, visitors can purchase sweets from French Toast Bites, Mexican food from Philly Taco, homemade water ice from Dre’s Water Ice and Ice Cream, and fries and cheesesteaks from Chickie’s & Pete’s. A Boardwalk-style eatery will serve funnel cake, fried Oreos and cotton candy.
