Amazing views! The Spirit is clean and welcoming, staff super nice and helpful, food was delicious. The Spirit has enormous deck with nice and comfortable furniture. There was a young man on top deck that was playing the guitar and singing popular songs- he was good, the idea of him was a nice touch! Very kids friendly! I would recommend this activity
