As for the rest of the itinerary, “it’s that one place with the one thing in that one town!” At departure you’ll receive a clue on what direction we are heading and maybe even the state (if we’re feeling generous).

She started writing hits for the biggest acts from The Shirelles to The Righteous Brothers – then recorded her Grammy-winning masterpiece, TAPESTRY. Carole King broke barriers as a woman in the music industry and became one of the most prolific songwriters of our time. A huge cast of singers and dancers bring more than 24 of her greatest hits to life in this joy-filled celebration! We are finalizing activities on the way to Chanhassen and the next day as we make our way home. Activity Level: Minimal to Moderate
