Amusement Park

I highly recommend this park! Sometimes there is a food truck called Firehouse Grilling Co. It's a fire truck converted into a food truck. If the truck is inside the park during your stay at the Bohemian Styled Suite, you can get a FREE meal for you and a guest! Just mention you are staying at the Bohemian and BOOM, free food!!
