while i am grateful something like this exists and the area has been cleaned up and renovated, because it’s free and open to the public, the public ruined my experience so i didn’t get to enjoy the movie.
i visited with my 2 well behaved, people/dog friendly dogs to enjoy a nice night out however to ensure my dogs safety, my safety and the safety/comfort of others, i put my blanket we were sitting on far away from others so that nobody felt uncomfortable or bothered by us.
certain people lack social cues and a elderly gentleman, despite plenty of open areas with a clear view of the screen being available put his blanket within arms reach of mine and sat right next to us and proceeded to answer a phone call and spoke LOUDLY as soon as the movie started.
the main issue i encountered however were 2 stray puppies running around with unsupervised children, even whilst the movie was playing.
these unsupervised children not only continued to run in front of me AND through other families trying to watch the movie, but they kept coaxing these stray puppies to come up to me and my dogs so that the dogs could “be friends”.
after the 4th time these children brought these stray puppies up to me and my dogs and me politely telling them “my dogs are trying to watch the movie and not make friends right now, can you please take them away” i packed up my belongings and my dogs and decided to just go home.
during this entire time, 3 security officers for the plaza were standing a few feet away from me gossiping amongst each other next to the entrance to the restroom.
it’s truly a shame i didn’t have a good experience at the plaza and i hope others have a better experience than i did.
