The tables will be plentiful with an array of candy and toppings to strategize, engineer, craft and build the ultimate sweet escape.

  1. Hi! My daughter Emma just turned 5, and may want to partake in the activity. Who would I contact to get her eligible to attend? See, I was reading the prices and noticed that ages 3, 4, and 5 were excluded from the list of ages. Since that would be DISCRIMINATION, I would like to know who I have to petition to get my daughter in. Thank you in advance for your help in resolving the issue at hand.

    1. Hey, Emma’s Dad, you’re right! Sorry I didn’t notice the omission. I checked the “for more info” link and it says admission for children ages 3-11 is $6.

      I’ll get that fixed ASAP. (Whew! So glad we didn’t have petition Gingerbread Village!)
