The Awakening - Buried Giant

As of January 2022 the giant is still buried. There is a great park across the street -- nice walking trails. The place was fairly empty, but it is winter. The summer is surely a different story. There is an aquatic park in the park with a nice pool.

If you like Anime like I do, then you know this reminds me of the series "Attack on Titan." I had to ride the foot like a rodeo cowboy. Yee-HA!!

The Awakening - Buried Giant

The Awakening is located just behind Chesterfield Mall. Come early in the day so it is not too hot to touch and climb on the giant. Great family fun! The knee is a giant kid slide.
