The Hampshire Dome — Local services in Milford

This was the first time we have visited the Hampshire Dome. We came here for the balloon festival. The grounds and landscape was okay. The rocky hill up to the field was slightly difficult to walk up though. The event host did have golf carts available. We personally had a good time. We arrived there during the times of the flights. However, there were many complaints that the event host did not keep up with the schedule changes. People were unhappy and complained on facebook and instead of answering questions, they deleted and blocked people from commenting. This is in poor taste of the event host on social media. We could tell people around us were unhappy and there appeared to have this overcast of angry people around us. We still had fun and stood in long lines. It is what it is. But from a business point of view, it was not professional how the event was handled in the communication department. I understand balloons fly at certain times. I understand schedules change. But POST those changes so people driving an hour + aren't let down by a great experience. We bought our tickets in advance so it was worth the money we spent. I suppose if we had paid full price as a family I would have been disappointed. They did have food trucks but not as many as they advertised. Many food trucks had run out of food. I was tackled by a child who wasn't being watched by their parents in the balloon walk thru. (Even though the balloon walk thru had signs saying adult supervision required) The bounce houses were basically 8.00 to not watch your kids because it was a disaster in there. BUT despite all of that, we still had a good time. We just wanted to see the balloons and got lucky we were able to see them. Personally, I would not attend this particular event again because of the event hosting communication skills / deceiving advertising methods. However, I would love to visit another balloon festival...

The refs don’t know the rules or how to control games. Kids are playing down divisions and are so mouthy to the opponents and parents. The refs cannot ever control the games. The blatant fouls are right in front of them, the high kicks to the face, the list goes on. The owner is not any better at knowing the rules and won’t listen to anyone when they prove him wrong. Talks over you and won’t let you talk. Turns the conversation to him and the rules he wants you to hear and not the ones that you are questioning. Owner only favors the teams he wants to win. Owner is the most disrespectful person I have ever dealt with. Told us “your game is over, you can leave now!” When a parent was having a nice conversation with another parent saying how...

Came here for an indoor track meet. The track itself is a weird length (309 meters) which makes it difficult to get an exact and proper time for qualifying. Also, the staff misinformed us of where to finish and as a result, I and another runner stopped a little early and had to restart running instantly. Another concern I have is the lack of many bathroom stalls. There are two, a low amount for larger track meets.

Otherwise, it was a great experience...
