Overall, minus the few hiccups, it was a good experience and a great way to spend the day with kids. I ended up going back and buying one of those ridiculously expensive souvenir cups just to burn through some of the remaining funds. Sadly, this was not the case so just be advised that when purchasing the card, you can only use on food and arcade. On food so we were under the impression that we could use the rest to buy souvenirs at the gift shop. We went on a Friday when its normally expected to stay open until about 9pm but we had gone a night designated for grad night so they closed at 6 instead so that was disappointing.Īs for that 'fun' card that was purchased. its a tourist spot so highway robbery is to be expected.Īs for the downfalls, there were a few unfortunately. normally I would pass but since I had trouble with that 'fun' card, I purchased one. They had a 'special' on their plastic souvenir cup for 11.99, with 99 cent refills all day. deep fried everything, ice cream, hot dogs, burgers, etc. Not too bad when compared to places like Disney or Legoland.įood: your average boardwalk fare. Lines were doable, longest wait for us was about 15 minutes. Rides: they ranged from kid friendly to high adrenalin which was nice since we had a 9 and 12 year old with us. turned out to be a fiasco but more on that later. Since the park is cashless, we also purchased a 'fun' card with 200.00 to spend later. We had purchased the all day ride bands for about 55.00 a person I believe and we were able to ride a lot of rides during the day, some even 2 or 3 times. There were lots located in front of the park.all looked to be about 20.00 for the whole day so make sure to add that to the budget unless you're within walking distance.

Upper 60's to low 70's with a nice ocean finitely a nice break from the Vegas heat!

Beer is about trying new things taking the familiar and making it the unknown. It is for celebrations and failures, toasts and times of condolence.

Under the talented direction and capable hands of contractor Scott MacDonald, and with the help of generous friends and family, Brew Cruz emerged. ‘Betty Jane’ (as she is affectionately called) is a 1989 Thomas International, which was a pretty incredible chassis to work on. Refurbishing the bus was truly a labor of love, and took about 7 months to complete.

The taste for craft beer had also lingered in her family tree, so it was no surprise that, while on a tasting tour of craft breweries in Boulder, Co during the Summer of 2013, the idea for Brew Cruz was born.Īnnie bought the bus off a band in San Francisco, and relocated her to Felton, Ca where the transformation took place. Brew Cruz Captain Annie spent her years in high school and college largely exploring the world, and her 20's finding her niche in life!
