I stopped by Arcade Monster on a Sunday after the Padres game. I'm not typically a huge arcade…read moreperson, but I had some extra time and ended up having a really good time. Admission is $25, which gives you access to the games inside. I believe some of the claw machines where you grab prizes may cost extra, but I wasn't completely sure. One nice perk was that if you showed your Padres ticket, you received a complimentary hot dog, chips, and a bottle of water. The food was ready in less than five minutes, which was a great bonus after the game. There are two floors with a lot of different game options including pool tables. I personally loved the air hockey tables (although one was out of order). The basketball games were fun, and the punching games were entertaining as well. I'm not really a big video game person, so I skipped over some of those. Another one of my favorite games they had was Skee-Ball. My biggest complaint was the number of machines that were not working. Pac-Man was broken, one of the air hockey tables was down, the claw machine for candy wasn't working, some of the Skee-Ball games were unavailable, and Tetris was also out of order. For a $25 admission fee, I would expect the machines to be better maintained. I also didn't see anyone actively working on repairs while I was there. The atmosphere was fun, with a mix of kids and adults enjoying the games. They also have a bar area where you can order drinks, including beer (although no beer on tap), frozen daiquiris, and mixed cocktails. Overall, Arcade Monster is a fun place to spend a couple of hours if you enjoy games and are looking for something different to do. I just hope they put more attention into maintaining the machines because that would really elevate the experience.

There's one visual illusion after another in this Museum, and I spent 1 1/2 hours during my entire time there. This Museum is in a really happening part of downtown, so I'd recommend pairing the Museum visit with lunch on 5th Ave. and a walk along the Embarcadero. If you've never done this, you definitely need to continue down on 5th Ave. toward the Convention Center - 5th Ave. and L St. - to see the famous Gaslamp arch.

Tickets are on the pricier side, but this is more of a treat than a normal theater, so I'm okay with it. Headphones do a great job of blocking the sound out. They are large on me, so I always have to get the kid's headphones, which still work just as great. It really is a great view and location within downtown. I like that they have a set parking price while you're at the movie, but $11 is pretty steep when you're paying $25 per ticket.

The bouncer outside was doing his part to keep the local riff raff at bay, all with a smile. Once inside we found a cozy table, and proceeding to look over the menu we were able to find everything we wanted. Ordering at the bar was easy, as my bartended was super friendly, easily jotted down everything I wanted, and made sure to make me feel like a long-time regular despite this being my first visit. Food and drinks came out right away, was exactly as we had hoped, and was delicious. The bathrooms were clean and without any problems. While eating our food and enjoying our drinks, and awaiting our live comedy to start, we were able to catch the tail end of the Padres game which was pretty awesome. Overall, as someone who doesn't really enjoy the Gaslamp too often, I found a new favorite place. I highly recommend it, and will definitely bring some of my friends the next time we're in town.

It's a pretty cool concept and a nice change from a traditional movie theater. One thing that surprised me was that it was actually a little more covered than I expected. Based on the name, I thought it would be more open air and exposed to the elements, but the setup was cozier and more sheltered than I anticipated. They have a selection of snacks and beverages available, which was nice, although I do wish they were able to sell alcohol. A beer or glass of wine would have been a great addition to the experience. Overall, it was a unique and enjoyable night out. The atmosphere was great, the movie selection was fun, and I'd definitely go back for another showing.

After parking, completing registration, and waiting in line (10+ mins), I was finally informed--after a long delay--that my son wouldn't be able to ride for at least "a couple of hours." At no point was there signage or staff to communicate the wait time, leaving us standing in line with no information. This lack of transparency and service made for a frustrating and unacceptable experience. I lost a good 30 minutes of my day, and on top of that, I had to tell my 7 year old that we could not ride a go kart today and left extremely disappointed your location. Which by the way, is not easy to get to and it is definitely not in the friendliest part of town. A long drive, a long wait, indifferent customer service and no go kart riding made for a forgettable experience. I hope you take this feedback seriously and make necessary improvements to ensure future visitors receive clear communication and better service. I'd appreciate a response regarding how you plan to address these concerns.
