I took my mom there when she visited. We've been there a few times and she's always loved it. She explained the health benefits and we had a nice chat while enjoying the foot spa. It's definitely worth doing with family and friends. There's outline space to take off your shoes and walking without your shoes along the spa area. It's completely outdoors so be sure to go on good weather days.
