On the second floor you will find such items and goods as sundry goods, clothing, souvenir shop, sporting goods and clothes, cameras, books, CDs, DVDs, and more food.
Musical performances can be watched every Saturday from May to early November from 15:00-17:00 at the stage at the main gate.
If you want to sell your own items here you can. Just meet at the parking lot at the main gate from 13:00-17:00 on any Saturday from March to October.
