Around the holidays it has a larger-than-life Christmas tree that rivals the tree in New York’s Rockefeller Center; in a summer emerging from a pandemic, it has the largest sand sculpture in North America. The outlet worked with Chicago-based Sand Sculpture Co., which spent more than three weeks in June loading 350 tons of sand, shaping it into “wedding cake tiers” and finally shaping the iconic locations.
