There's maybe 4-5 of those machines with very old looking stuffed animals, or unappealing prizes. The other games were all vintage consoles that were actually very fun to play! The place is pretty small, and there's a small corner where people can throw a birthday party. I'd say it was an okay experience. I probably would not purchase normal wristband, but think it may be worth it on Groupon for people who really enjoy arcades.

Ended up coming at 7:15 and played for 45 minutes (IMO this is enough to enjoy the machines). In terms of quality, its decent. You got your classic fighting games like Street Fighter, Tekken, and Killer Instinct. They also had a foosball table and basketball machine that were unlimited place. There are some paid games such as the pinball machines (25 cents) and crane games ($1). Overall a great place to kill some time.

My 5-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter both had a great time, which is not always easy with that age difference. There are three floors with so much to do. The first floor has science activities, and the second floor was probably our favorite, with a fire station, medical station, theater stage, police motorcycle, dress-up costumes, building activities and plenty of hands-on exhibits. The third floor has a train station and more activities geared toward younger kids and toddlers. There's also a small outdoor water-play area, which was a nice bonus. One thing I really appreciated as a parent is how thoughtfully the museum is set up. There are bathrooms on every floor, so you don't have to drag everyone up or down the building every time someone needs to go. It's also very accessible and clearly designed with families in mind. It was educational, interactive, affordable and kept both of my kids entertained for a long time. If you're staying in Pismo Beach or anywhere nearby and looking for something fun to do with kids, I highly recommend making the drive to San Luis Obispo. We would absolutely come back.

Then there is a second floor with all the make-believe establishments, where kids can explore different jobs, etc. There is so much to do and discover for kids! We took our 5- and almost-3-year-olds here, and they both loved it so much! They were a little sad when it was time for us to go. It is also worth noting that there are a couple of single-room bathrooms on each floor, which is great for kids, as they can easily access them and then go back to exploring! The bathrooms were maintained well and kept clean.

Some reviews was kinda steering me away and I was very apprehensive about this establishment. But I'm glad we were bored out of our minds and fought thru my apprehension and gave in. It was a pleasant surprise . A little bit of something for everyone. Plenty of Arcade games, plenty of billiards table and classic American fried foods. Of course the front cute gift shop and shirts. The atmosphere was energetic and enjoyable. Music and game noises, seating areas for food, and even seats throughout the pool rooms. $18 and hour fit the table, not too bad. We did enjoy our experience. The workers were nice and only intercom yelled at a costumer for sitting on the pool table. Go try it out.

As many of us take our dogs to the beach, we were on a family vacation and decided to stop here for dinner. Before walking in my whole family check for a no dog sign, we walked in and no staff members mentioned anything to us so we assumed everything was fine. (Especially considering the place isn't the cleanest and I have taken my dog into cleaner restaurants in pismo). We continued to order over $150 worth of pizza wings and beer. We were sitting down waiting for our food when a manager (didn't catch her name but she was a older lady) came up to us and said they don't allow dogs in and she looked it up online and it's a law. LOL I had no issue leaving (even though I felt like someone should have said something before we ordered our food AND PAID) but I asked for to go boxes and also asked what was going to be done about our beers we spent $20 on that were FULL. She right away said well your going to have to take turns coming in and out? I told her I just wanted the drinks refunded because she wouldn't allow us to take them and she refused to give any type refund. My boyfriend tried to speak to her to compromise and she continued to snap at him and the rest of my family. Bottom line she was extremely rude and not willing to compromise after WAITING until we spend over $150 to tell us we had to leave. Later when we went to leave her employees were laughing while we left.

The barn is beautifully rustic, full of charm and character, and the handmade chandeliers are absolutely stunning--the lighting alone creates such a warm, romantic atmosphere that feels both timeless and intimate. What truly sets Beecham Ranch apart, though, is the people. The Beecham Ranch personnel went above and beyond in every possible way to make our day unforgettable. They genuinely care about their couples and make you feel so special and supported throughout the entire experience. It never felt like "just another wedding" to them--they treated our day as if it was as meaningful to them as it was to us. One of our favorite moments was heading up to the top of the ridge for golden hour photos. The views were breathtaking, and it was such a peaceful, unforgettable experience that gave us some of our most cherished memories from the day. If you're looking for a venue that combines deep-rooted history, rustic beauty, incredible lighting, stunning scenery, and a team that truly has your best interests at heart, Beecham Ranch is it. We couldn't recommend it more highly and will forever be grateful we chose this incredible place for our wedding day.

They had a great program that was hosted by the talented Nia Wong of KCOY TV (Local Channel 12). This wonderful organization, sponsors, & volunteers, put on a diverse variety of performances (including the Traditional Lion Dance), served up tons of yummy food, & all had a great evening. We were honored guests, of a sponsor, the wonderful owner's of Golden Gong Chinese Restaurant on Madonna Road in SLO (Joann & Alex Chiang). Our table which we shared with another sponsor, Dr. Elisa Feingold (Central Coast Psychiatric Consultants on Philips Ln in SLO), had a prime view of all the various performances. The performances included: Ballet, Dancing, Singing, Piano playing, Violin playing, Drumming, & much more. The many performances done by the children & teens were both talented & often adorable (see pics to be posted. or look at pics already posted on the Central Coast Veterans Memorial Museum (Hall)on Yelp). Teen, Ms. Yian Xue, (who was at our table as a visiting exchange student from China, sponsored by Dr. Feingold) also put on a great performance in singing a Chinese Pop Song. The other children & teens played violins, a piano, drums, or danced their way into everyone's heart. Cal Poly Student's did an amazing job with the Lion Dance both on stage & then dancing among the audience to everyone's delight! The Auction was a hoot, especially when the tiny tots came up to claim a prize. More about CCCA From CCCA' website or their Facebook page: "The Central Coast Chinese Association (originally named the Chinese Professional Association -- CPA) was founded in 1980 by a group of California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) faculty members as a non-profit organization. Its original goals were to promote alliance, brotherhood/sisterhood and mutual aid of the ethnic Chinese professionals and their families in the San Luis Obispo County and its vicinity, and to set as one of the Equal Opportunity Advisory bodies to the President of Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, California. In the last thirty years, the CPA has played an important role within the Chinese community on the Central Coast for networking as well as member support. The Association has also been involved in a variety of civic projects and activities such as establishing scholarships at Cal Poly, contributing to the Salvation Army, participating in the San Luis Obispo International Festival, supporting the County Historical Museum, and donating a drinking fountain to the San Luis Obispo City library. Perhaps, the milestone event of the Association was to raise a sizable amount of funds to create the Iron Road Pioneers sculpture commemorating the tens of thousands of Chinese immigrant laborers here on the central coast in the mid-1860s. Most of these immigrants worked on the railroads that eventually opened up commerce for San Luis Obispo County to the international world. In addition, the Association has supported Cal Poly student clubs such as the Chinese Student Association and the Chinese Culture Club in promoting multicultural events. As a result of a growing community of Chinese influence on the central coast, both in and outside of Cal Poly, members of the Association voted unanimously to rename the Chinese Professional Association to simply the Central Coast Chinese Association (CCCA) in 2010.... Mission: To provide a platform for CCCA members to connect and build friendships; To support CCCA members' professional and social development; To honor and preserve the rich American Chinese history in Central Coast; To promote multi-cultural exchanges and create understanding in the global arena; To teach our children appreciation for different cultures; To engage in projects and activities that enhance cultural exchange and understanding"
