caveat 3 reviews mention this

Outdoor space feels limited

Some tours note that outdoor areas are on the smaller side.

A few reviewers describe the outdoor courtyard or patio as small, even while still finding other parts of the facility workable. Others focus more on the interior setup and activities rather than outdoor space, which suggests the outdoor areas may not be the main draw. If outdoor time is a high priority for you or your loved one, it may be worth observing the space in person during a visit.
