JJ was super fun and played great music while guiding us around. My daughter said she wanted to go see turtles so he took us to a spot to see them. Rum Punch and sodas were great and appreciated. Lunch was ok, dry sandwiches but that didn’t put a damper on the day. I highly recommend this. It’s a great day.”
