As a big escape room enthusiast I've been intrigued by Real Escape for a bit but hesitant to book…read moredue to some questionable reviews. I decided to message them and ask them about the reviews, they brought it to my attention that there are new owners and the room that created so many of the negative reviews as in place when they took over, they have since removed it and added new rooms of their own. We booked both of their current rooms (Bayou Mystery and Bird Movie) this weekend for my wife's birthday to give it a shot. The Bayou mystery room is visually really nice. I like the setup a lot, the sounds/music is nice and the story was great. The room needs something else, I don't know exactly what but it needs something a little more innovative maybe? The room was just a few puzzles and a couple different types of locks, I was looking for something just a little more like a more interactive puzzle, something mechanical, idk just something to give it a little different feel than puzzle, lock, puzzle lock, rinse and repeat. The Bird Movie room is fantastic. It has a lot of different elements and the puzzles are fantastic. This room really had a great feel to it and it's really difficult, we enjoyed it a lot and would highly recommend it . Overall it was a great experience, the staff is very friendly and helpful. We let them know we love escape rooms but aren't great at them so they were very kind in giving us a nudge in the right direction when we got lost (which was often.) Thanks for a great time and we'll be back to try out new rooms in the future as they become available.

Super fun and creative place! I dont want to say too much, or it'll ruin the fun. The amount of…read moretime and energy they put into the rooms is amazing. You can tell that they want to make a unique and fun experience for those participating. Each of the rooms is unique to only Bakersfield. Doing the puzzles really shows you how well you can work with others. It was a lot of fun! I'm really happy this is here!

Recently, the playground got a revamp. While I do miss the nostalgic charm of the old sand, I can't deny that the new design is sleek, clean, and inviting. Now, many years later, I have the joy of bringing my own child here to play. It's a special feeling to see them enjoying the same park I loved growing up, just with a fresh new look. Campus Park continues to be a welcoming, family-friendly space that holds both great memories and new ones in the making.

It's a small park with a small playground, and two tennis courts next to a duck pond. There's…read moreplenty of shade and some tables as well. Not the most impressive little park, but I'm so happy it exists! I just wish it were better maintained. The two tennis courts were empty on a Saturday afternoon when I went for my visit. Because of the proximity to the duck pond, despite the gates, there were some droppings inside the court (minimal, but couldn't help but cringe a little if a tennis ball bounced close) There are also some cracks on the court that can alter your play a bit, but I'm not a pro or even that picky and it didn't bother me that much! I still had a lot of fun playing tennis at this little park!

My nephew and brother n law wanted to play basketball. We heard they had a good indoor basketball court here so we decided to give it a try. We were greeted by the friendly staff. Their is a small fee for using their facilities. I believe it was less than $10 per person. Considering that the fee included everything they had there, we thought it was reasonable. I believe there is a monthly membership fee as well which is a better deal for locals. The facilities included a nice area with plenty of cardio equipment and free weights. There was even a small bowling alley with several lanes for people to enjoy. The basketball courts were very cool. There were plenty of basketball hoops for everyone. There were other areas there, but we did not explore them all. Playing indoor basketball was all we wanted to do. For a few hours that was all we did. When the temperatures are over 90 degrees, it was a pleasant surprise to find this place in Taft.

I came across this one and was pleasantly surprised by how newish it was. 2 play structures (one for smaller kids and one for bigger kids), basketball courts, beach volleyball courts, and plenty of benches. The best part (and I can't stress this enough), the play areas were SHADED. Plenty of shade to play and enough trees to provide shade for parents trying to chill on the benches. It should be criminal to build a park in California and not provide shade. Only downside is that there aren't any bathrooms.

It was completely empty and the wind picked up so it wasn't as hot in the shade. After playing on the toys we went to the little lake for a relaxing walk. No bugs or annoying flies but we did see turtles, rabbits, and a family of ducks (complete with 7 little ducklings ) we had a great time and I'm excited to come back!

This park is located next the the soccer fields that was previously named the State Farm park. This park is new and a great place to walks the dogs and take kids to play. There's even a nice man-made lake you can walk laps around. HOWEVER I'm giving this park 4 stars because I've seen teenagers here bring a giant bong to the park on a school day. Sorry I'm that person that doesn't advocate illegal activities. (call me a Debbie downer) I still enjoy this park and it's maintained very nicely our community needs to figure out how to not let it get overturned with bad activity's. As a women I still wouldn't come here alone after sunset. It's new so it can be barren at times which could be the perfect opportunity for something bad to go down.

They are now 5 and 7, and our older one is already a strong enough swimmer to be learning flip turns. Ryan is wonderfully patient and gentle with the kids, earning their trust even if they start out afraid of taking off their life jackets. If your little one does start off scared and crying, stick with it! In a few sessions they get comfortable, and by the next season they will cry if they _don't_ get to have their lesson with Coach Ryan. With our hot Bakersfield summers, knowing our kids are strong swimmers gives us significant peace of mind every time we're at the pool.
