I have been to this place multiple times and taken all the friends, family who visit my house. If weather is nice like yesterday and as you see it the pictures as well. It is very nice to see the flights land and take off so close. Binoculars give us a close up view. Small model of American Airlines with working small water sprays are good for kids.
