I like "Splitsville" its an enormous bar with great food. Lots of amusement. Bowling lanes, pool tables, darts and more. There are other businesses there too that I haven't been to like a chocolatier shop and more. The outside has a bar in the middle of the area for outside lounging. There are a bunch of tables with umbrellas for shade but not enough. (I hear they're going to remedy that). They have live music outside at times. If your lucky you can watch a cruise ship dock or depart. They dock right there. That's pretty cool to watch. There's a huge parking lot right there and a parking garage across the street. The aquarium is there and a museum. If you looking for something to do and you cant come up with any ideas go there! Day or night you won't be dissapointed.

Yachts Star Ship Cruise, we went to a graduation, college reveal celebration. Our group boarded, was on the upper deck in our own private section. We had our own waiters. We were started off with an occasion speech, than we were advised of the relative graduation cum Laude, of her class. She will be attending Hampton University. We were started off with a salad, the main coarse than cheesecake. Some of the family went to a different deck to celebrate more and dance While the others enjoyed great conversation and the view. We arrived back where we started and it time to go home. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the great hospitality.

It has changed since 2010, everything new when I remember was closed and I was very disappointed. I was treated very obnoxiously by a short guy in a suit saying the waterfront was rented out and when I saw how much it changed and described the difference, he had no idea what I meant by different entrances back in the day and how lively that was when I was 32. I'm 43 now it was a Ghost town. Other than the PRIVALGED that rented out the whole entire place in 99+° weather on September 12th and 13th

I absolutely love the renovations. The vibe is so chill, its perfect for date night, a family outing, or some drinks with friends. Its so versatile and has comfy couches and I love the fake grass. It has some lawn games. There's usually some obnoxious kids/guys throwing a football....I really didn't care for that. Other than that, I can't see any negatives. I do think wet Willie's would of fit in just fine. They have some nice snack options and even coffee.

What a nice place to take the family for a little fun outdoors, but not necessarily in nature. The picnic area is astroturf with tons of tables and seating. Plenty of shade, giant checker board on one end, LIVE MUSIC on a stage, and the battle ship in the background. Plus it's free. Plenty of really amazing food vendors (but pretty pricey.) Paying for parking stinks,too. But all in all, a very clean, fun place to take the family.

Lovely, grands by the River. Really cool little eateries and cafes and exercise places and shops. You can hop a cruise, a fun fast river boat, and water taxis. You are right at the start of the River Walk, and near the Aquarium and plentiful parking garages. Right near museums and history Center and across the River from the the Henry Plant Museum wide area to walk, well paved and easily accessible restrooms.
