    Like two kids in a candy store

    I didn't see a skate park but then again, there is so much to see and do there. The place is huge. The Dave and Buster's is down by The Rainforest Cafe. If the weather is nice, it's not a bad walk over to the mall from the TA. If you can get a cab, it's only $5, but most cabs won't make...
