The best part? This dream-like suite can be reserved at no cost to families and fans – all you have to do is pack up your crew, head to the Cape and let the core memory-making begin.

Families and fans can request to book one of five different two-night, three-day stays at the Re-Treat Suite by Rice Krispies Treats now throughout the month of August by visiting RiceKrispiesTreatsReTreat.com. And yes, you can bring the whole crew, as the Suite accommodates up to six guests in one queen bed, one set of twin bunk beds, and two rollaway beds.
