Toro Park — Attraction in East Garrison

I am new coming when there is events, so I wasn't really sure if there was an entrance fee or if I could just go in; anyways I pulled up and see a bunch of cars driving in through what I assume is the check in, a male member of the staff stopped me & asked if had a ticket or some type of reservation; he rudely interrupted me telling when telling him I didn't know if had to have a pass, I told him that a family member was waiting for me so I can unload a few things & he said "well how am I supposed to know that!?, you just showed up".

A wonderful place to spend a...
