Outdoor Dining & Gathering
Much of the campus's appeal is outdoors: lawns, yards and seating between buildings. That also means weather shapes the experience.

Seasonal realities
Warm evenings bring crowds outdoors; colder months shift activity inside and to seasonal programming such as the ice skating and holiday market the operator promotes. Check the official site for seasonal offerings in the current year.
With kids and dogs
The official FAQ describes the campus as family-friendly and dog-friendly on leash. During movie nights, pets are asked to stay off the Ford Green.
