Children and adults will also enjoy unlimited access to Skyline Park’s acclaimed Heege Tower and three-story slide, in addition to Midway games that range from $1 to $3. Beyond seasonal entertainment and games, Skyline Park will offer specialty snow cones, as well as its prized selection of imaginative carnival fare, including short rib sandwiches, gourmet popcorn, salted soft pretzels, and famous “walking taco,” a snack-size bag of Fritos, opened up and filled with braised beef, pico de gallo, and avocado. Daytime admission will be $10 for adults and children. Children under three are free.

 

From 4 to 11 p.m., Skyline Park will transform into an adults-only fun zone. Catch spring fever with live performers, spring-themed decor, while enjoying live music and photo booth opportunities. Throughout the evening, Skyline Park’s Sideshow bar will serve up spiked snow cones, a selection of local beers on tap and signature cocktails, such as the park’s infamous Bourbon slushie, “Pemberton’s Frozen Julep,” and “Ponce Park Cup” made with Tito’s vodka, Lillet Blanc, Amaro Cia Cara, honey, and lemon. DJ Grace will spin tunes live from 7 to 11 p.m. Evening admission will be $20 and open to guests 21 years old and up.
