Gather around the fire pit for a classic s'mores night. Roast marshmallows, sandwich them between chocolate and graham crackers, and share stories while relishing this delectable treat. 

Fireside Sing-Along

Starry-Eyed Stargazing

Lay back and enjoy an evening of stargazing. Spread blankets around the fire pit, identify constellations, and marvel at the beauty of the cosmos.
