★★★★★
so fun! and a fun way to explore a new area of the city!
★★★★★
It was so much fun!! We even played in the rain. 10/10 would do it again
★★★★
vibe: the history from the plaques at the various locations
★★★★
The red heart was tricky because we over think it and went deep into the distillery District and thought it was the red brick buildings and the chimney.
