We've seen some neat dinner event ideas at Sharks before, but needing to purchase a seperate park admission, just for the event, has been a sticking point for me — this year, park admission is not required to attend the dinner experience... so that alone gets a two thumbs up from us. One price covers everything you'll need to attend... including park ... ( read more ... )
