This is a review for the Dublin location We arrived and got…read moreto race immediately. The kids were stoked. All the staff was curteous at the front desk, racetrack and "restaurant". The restaurant is a MAJOR let down though. The portions are not even kids menu worthy but the pricetag is huge! Kids left hungry, I was more angry. Do yourself a favor, Nations burgers and In and out are 5 minutes away. No brainer!

The facility itself is fun, and the kids had a great time, but I wouldn't recommend it for a…read morebirthday party given the cost. At $80 per child for the most basic package on a weekend I expected a higher level of service. Throughout the party, I had to ask for everything. I had to request water pitchers, ask for a candle and lighter, and no one offered to help cut the cake. The staff didn't offer much help coordinating the event. I've had parties at Pump It Up, where the staff was much more attentive and proactive. I also had an unpleasant interaction with an employee (Scott?). The employee's old white car was parked in front of the facility, with its windows completely down and a cracked windshield, and its alarm went off. The employee came outside, WALKED ON THE HOOD OF HIS CAR to turn off the alarm, and then accused me of hitting his car. My husband and the five children in my car all confirmed that I didn't. After confronting me in the parking lot, he walked back into K1 while I followed behind. I found it very inappropriate for an employee to yell at a customer, especially as they were entering the business. The kids enjoyed themselves, but the overall customer service was not up to my expectations. When I book a party I like to be stress free, otherwise I would just host a party at my own house.

"Ice cream in the morning...because I ran? YES, PLEASE and I'll be back tomorrow too!"…read more This past 4th of July, I took a lesson from our country's forefathers and became independent of a negative thought I've had for quite some time. Due to knee injuries from school yard basketball, ankle injuries from pure clumsiness, and just lack of physical endurance, I have never really liked to run. But exactly one year ago today, I made a promise to myself to workout more and eventually try to run a short race. On Independence Day, I made good on this promise. In preparation for the LIVESTRONG run (Support Team YELP! - http://www.yelp.com/events/san-jose-dyf-destroy-your-fat-livestrong-challenge-in-san-jose), I decided to run a practice 5K just to see what it was like running 3.1 miles outside. Waking up at dawn and after taking the morning poop, I head out to a very organized staging area. The staff and the volunteers were very helpful and friendly. With a ton of race day registrants, they were also super efficient at getting everyone through. Music was being played to pump up the runners as well. All of a sudden though, I hear someone on the loud speaker say: "10 minutes until the start! Please make your way to the starting line!" Nervousness, anxiousness, and excitement all began to rush through my body. Making my way to the start area, I just kept thinking "All I need to do is finish." The gun shoots off and I find myself amidst a pack of moving people. Overall the course is very flat and has people guiding everyone through the route. Split time markers were located at every mile, so you could gauge how fast you were going. The only thing that confused me was that you couldn't tell which times were for the 10K runners and the 5K runners (the 10K folks started a few minutes earlier). When I crossed the finish line, I was welcomed by a cheering crowd, ice cream, popsicles, bagels, muffins, oranges, bananas, and sports drinks. Today, I found out officially my time and place (136th place and 27:52). I've never been so happy to finish in 136th place. Overall, this was a great beginner run and I had a good time. Tips - *If you are a beginner runner like me, its important to get shoes that fit your gait. I'm overpronated and ran with neutral shoes, which really messed up my knees. Hit up a running shoe store or Sportsbasement and get the right shoes. You won't regret it.

I just ran the 4th of July 10K…read more This is a nice "small town" race. It's very simple; no chips, the 10K is just a double loop of the 5K, having to find a place to store your t-shirts because there is no pre-registration, and it took forever for the pictures to be posted. But it was nice. Sometimes the larger, more crowded races are overwhelming and too time consuming. The race started at 8:15 and we got there at 7:15 but really didn't need to be there until 7:45 or later. It wasn't crowded, and we could move around and easily got out of the crowd and found a nice running pace quickly. My biggest issue was that it overlapped the Town of Danville parade so I wasn't able to attend the parade with my husband and kids. I REALLY want to do this race next year but unless it's an hour earlier or the parade is an hour later, I don't think I'll be able to. I did come in 3rd in my age group though and that always feels good especially when you just took a year off of running.

If you're wondering whether Sandbox VR can handle a large group of very excited 9-year-old boys…read more.. the answer is YES!! especially if Jared is there. We brought 11 rowdy boys and fully expected chaos. Instead, we had a smooth, organized, and genuinely fun experience. Jared explained everything clearly, kept the group engaged, and managed the energy with patience and confidence. What really stood out was his tact. A few kids became overstimulated, and he handled it with such calm reassurance and professionalism. He struck that perfect balance of being fun while maintaining structure, which is not easy with that age group. It's rare to see someone manage that level of energy so skillfully. Management should absolutely recognize him. He represents your brand beautifully. We will definitely be back!

We booked our time and we returned 6 mins late. Then this was when we were told we are too late so we can get a store credit or rebook. The excuse was other people in our group has already started. We didn't doubt this at the time but they have a website to look up scores of the day and we were the only ones playing this game at the San Ramon location. Not sure why we couldn't play then if we were the only ones playing anyways. We rebooked for later the same day after dinner and arrived 30 mins early. It turns out we need to sign waivers and prep time before playing. This should have been basic information given to us or at least let us know we should arrive earlier than your booked time in order to play. Just thinking logically I would want clients to prefill these out prior to their reservations. This would create less friction at start time. The crew setting us up for playtime were very helpful though and after playing they gave us a nice recap experience of our game. This was a nice touch but I wish they would have told us how the photos would be used more clearly. I wasn't even ready when taking my photo and halfway through a blink. The kids liked the game play but adults didn't have a good time. It was dizzying and exhausting to play for me and my wife and $50 a person for such an experience seems high. Would probably stay away and try to convince my kids to do the same.

This fun, on the small side, pretty much flat half marathon was a pretty great experience. I ran…read moreit for the first time this year (2009) and managed to PR by a large margin. There were only about 500 runners, and while the course wasn't particularly scenic, I had a good time overall. Here's the break down of my review: Organization -- 5 stars: The course has lots of volunteers along the way to shout out your time at the mile markers and to make sure you don't go off course (not really an issue, but still nice). At mile 10 you join up with the 5k runners, of whom there are MANY, at which point there was a separate lane for the half marathon runners. That part was especially appreciated. The sweat bag check in at the start was also very helpful, because I got pretty cold after the race and it was nice to be able to put on a clean, dry jacket. The race is a point to point course, and a shuttle was provided back to the starting line. A couple of snafus: There were mile markers missing at miles 1 and 10, which was a little frustrating. Also, the post race snacks were pretty meager. If I run this race again, I'll definitely put a sandwich in my sweats bag. Crowd support -- 4 stars. There weren't heaps and heaps of people watching, like at other races I've run, but there were enough people out there who were excited to see us run and grateful that the proceeds of the race would go to support the San Ramon school district. Course -- 3 stars: The course winds through residential areas of Danville and San Ramon, which is pretty dull, especially considering the number of races on the Bay Area that run through awesome, gorgeous terrain. That said, the race entrance fee is relatively low, and the course is flat and comfortable to run. Like I said, I had a great time running this race and I might do it again next year.

I've now only done a few runs, but this one seems to be on the low end of organized compared to…read moreothers. I used to do the Primo's Run when I was a tiny little kid. This I why, during my "let's become a runner" phase (which I continue to stay in now that I've gotten the hang of it) I decided to come back and give it a try as an adult. I arrived early, having researched the parking situation and seen that if I needed/wanted to leave right after I run (which I did), I'd have to park fairly far away from the actual event. I parked and hesitated a moment, wondering if I should bring my things with me (water bottle, snack, gear bag for my extra clothes... it was cold that morning!) and went ahead and brought it with me. I was early, so no thanks on freezing while I wait! I get to registration and receive my packet. I could already see that there was confusion within registration lines and there was no labeling or guidance whatsoever. I asked about gear check, to which everyone looked at me like deer in headlights. I even asked the woman who appeared to be guiding people into the registration lines, and when she gave me the same look and said she'd ask... well... she went right over to the same woman I had already gotten NO answer from. Sweet. No gear check?!? Seriously? I volunteered at a 10k of under 1000 participants, and even we had a gear check. It was really shocking to see that they didn't provide anything for runners to leave their things in a safe place! I fortunately found a volunteer who shall remain nameless who kindly hid my things under the table where she was stationed, and I was able to leave them there until I finished the race. Overall, it's a run for a good cause. Will I be back? Maybe. For nostalgia sake, or maybe for the 1/2 marathon if I can work myself up to that for next year!

Love that we came here by chance and left so happy, overjoyed, and full of Christmas spirit. We would definitely come back for their other Saturday events and sheep shearing in April! Lots of parking, and staff are so welcoming. Had an issue with unruly kids and parents, but other than that, it was a pleasant experience all around.

They are all very gentle and just roaming around in their enclosed area. There is a horse, sheep, lamb, a goat, and some chickens. This is not a petting zoo. We came here on a Saturday and ran into the couple that runs the farm. They were eager to tell us all about the farm, its history, and current events happening at the farm. (Almost) every Saturday morning at 11:00 a.m. there is a free event, such as art with corn, ice cream making, rug weaving etc. See their website for schedule of events. They also have a tractor museum with many tractors restored by volunteers. Because we had a toddler with us, we had to cut our visit short and didn't get to check out the gift shop and the tour of the Victorian house (tours Saturdays at 12:00 pm and 1pm). We brought a picnic lunch and sat at one of several picnic tables scattered throughout the farm. It was a fun and educational outing, and we'll probably come back again.

The animals were a huge hit, and James was funny, engaging, and incredibly good with children. The presentation was educational without ever feeling like a lesson, and he kept everyone's attention from start to finish. He was also very reliable and professional.

PS James traveled from Danville to South Bay for this event, thank you James!

James was kind enough to travel to the Peninsula. If you're anywhere in the Bay Area, reach out to see if you're lucky enough to be in the areas he covers. I'd gave him 10 stars if I could.
