Isabelle developed an irrational fear of this gigantic, beer drinking lion who periodically would say in a low grumbling voice..."Loewenbraeu" and tip his beer back...okay, it may be a bit intimidating to a toddler but she did want to take a closer look. She apparently is a little traumatized as she still is talking about how..."the lion scared me".
This tent was really neat inside. It was loud and smoking inside the tents with serious security guards all over the perimeter. They open at 11 am on the weekdays and earlier on the weekends. A worker told us that people line up around 7 am on the weekend to enter the tents to get a seat. It was standing room only by the time we got there...around 3 pm, but it was fun to take a look!
There were also beer gardens outside all of the tents.
