Cosplay experience
Everyone was so friendly welcoming and supportive particularly since I was new to cosplay!!!

An amazing experience for anyone that loves cosplaying
We brought our own costumes, with rather new characters, and even then the staff was so helpful and nice. Always trying their best to accommodate us with their resources and even without knowing the characters, the makeup artist did a wonderful job while also helping us with our new wigs. The window experience was amazing and the pictures turned out pretty good! Everybody was so great to work with
