Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

Good info. I'd add that the morning is the best time to go.

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has shifted a bit recently.
