There are TONS of places to shop and plenty of restaurants you can swing by for a bite to eat.
The different offerings of the various shops include clothing and shoes, toys, gifts, home goods, and health and beauty products. Your family will also enjoy a scenic boardwalk that runs along the 1.5-mile Tanycomo Lakefront. Near the boardwalk you’ll find their famous fountain that merges water, fire, light, and music. The fountain sprays 120-foot geysers and cannons blast fire into the air all choreographed to light and music every hour beginning at noon.
