There is space to dine, but it's great for takeout to enjoy with wine back at thesteelaway. On the pricey side for takeout pizza. But it is Neopolitan style, baked in a wood oven and they use very fresh and mostly local ingredients. Our "fast food" restaurant of choice. **Gluten-free and dairy free options available for those with dietary restrictions, too.

Family friendly taproom. You can bring a growler from the Steelaway, if you want to bring any back here. Keep an eye out for their cans of beer in stores around town, too.

Free entry. Family friendly. Worth a stroll through this expansive rose garden, when everything is in bloom! Don't forget to smell the different colored flowers. There is also a sound garden within where you can experiment and make your own music. The flowers are grown without pesticides, so the flowers are sometimes fed to the gorillas next door!
