There are pieces from widely known artists, and artists that are just getting started, which is what makes the center a unique place to visit.

And when the ride is over, they have a meal by the campfire planned for you and your party. For those that wish to try this, a fee of 60 USD per person and a non-refundable fee of 30 USD is all is takes to enjoy this peaceful event.
