Probably not the BEST pizza in town, but arguably the most entertaining! Enjoy live music from a massive Wurlitzer organ while grabbing a slice of pizza or enjoying some of the numerous flavors of ice cream offered here. This place is a show-stopper, and attracts people from all over the U.S.

Recreation
This is a super popular spot during the summer! Tour guides bus passengers to several drop off spots on the river, after which your party will float downstream on inner tubes to one of several pick-up spots. If you're lucky, you'll see wild horses, plenty of scenery, get some sun (sun screen and long sleeves recommended!), and have a wonderful time. Heads-up to those traveling with children: guests must be at least 8 years old to ride the bus/be able to rent a tube.
