I love Heritage park! Everyone who works there is very authentically dressed and they stay in character. If you get there early, I recommend you drop by the bakery, where they serve up fresh sour dough and French baguettes. I have talked to the baker there and she says that after 10 am they usually sell out. Afterwards, you should take a Ferry ride or go for a walk down gasoline alley. It is ideal for a first date as you can have a picnic along the grounds. Lots of parking as well! On a side note, they also host events and their events staff is more than accommodating.Read more
