This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.
