I arrived at the location on a Sunday morning and I have to say, yes the online promotion photos are nice but it does get very crowded. We waited in a ticket line with about 60 people in front of us. Just a heads; the pre-purchased tickets line was empty so that'll save you time!

Unfortunately we didn't get to check out the flower arranging demonstrations, sumo wrestling activities etc but we did wait in line for food which took about 45 mins to get our food. It costs $15 for a bun burger + side. I can only remember 2 of the foodtrucks that were there Mama Linh's, Tsuru, food trucks.
