We enjoyed the scenic 15 min ride on the train around the park. Please note this is on every third weekend of the month. Rides are free but donations are gladly accepted. Plenty of parking. If you don't want to wait long or want to avoid the heat I would suggest going early. Also be sure to check their website or social media account before going to make sure they are open :)

The train ride is roughly 15 minutes long and you go the surrounding land filled with trees, flowers, and greens. Very fun time and will definitely come back next month!

Arrival and check in was easy, but it did get a little crowded with multiple parties checking in at the same time. You leave your shoes in the front and are provided with grippy socks. The facility is clean, and you can see the thoughtfulness throughout. They had shoes for people to wear for the bathroom. The bathroom sinks had stools for the little ones. Even the side entrance by the party rooms had shoes available! My LO is 2 1/2, and I thought this place was perfect for her age. I can see kids aging out around 8-10, depending on size. She had so much fun. There was a private event and we definitely stayed until we had to leave. 10/10 would come again! Looking forward to the next time we go.

Adventure Playground Irvine is one of the best places for kids to do what they do best...play and destroy things (build, then destroy the big lego blocks). There's a jungle gym, multiple long concrete slides, a water feature, sand play area, ping pong, and of course the large lego blocks that kids make into castles, forts, etc. The whole Adventure Playground is enclosed, so you don't have to worry too much about kids running out of the play area from multiple exits. There is plenty of parking in the lot and the nearby library as well as the street. The best part of the playground = free. You just need to sign in with how many are in your party when you first walk in. There's also another playground outside of the Adventure Playground at the nearby park (walk for like 100 feet). Overall, a wonderful place to take your kids for an afternoon. Xie Xie!

I've been to tongs, 8888, etc, trust me Nolan's is super clean. I came here for plants, they have a very large selection!!! My first time here was a few days ago - I got Hornwort, bolbitus, and dwarf water lettuce. They were all thriving. Hornwort fluffy and full! Also Thursday's is 25% off plants !! I came again today and brought a friend and she was also so happy we stayed there for like an hour just looking at everything. They have multiple rooms and a lot of tanks. The store seems small but it's not ; there's a lot of variety of fish, plants, and shrimp. Today there were red root floaters, one of the employees actually grew them - they were so healthy and super red I had to buy 3 cups !! I got more dwarf water lettuce bc my axolotl loved hanging in the roots. Staff today was super nice and helpful. There were 2 guys. It was extremely busy when I came like 10 people and they were helping everyone collaboratively. I hate when an employee only focuses on 1 customer who takes forever thinking and observing and there's a ton of ppl waiting. It wasn't like that here, the guy would answer a question and move on to another client. Also when the guy was fishing out some shrimp he was still talking to other customers and answering questions. I loved the vibe here. I will def be returning!!!!!

I saw the blue blocks at some shopping malls and parks (not only in US but other countries) and my son loves it so I knew it would be perfect for my party since I had a limited space as well. I looked online and found very few people in US who works with the blue blocks and luckily one of the people was Becky in Orange County. How lucky! She was very professional and attentive to all my messages concerning my event. All kids enjoyed the blue blocks and they had to use their imagination to build whatever they want and it kept them really busy all afternoon!! Perfect!! We just put the blocks in my garage and voila! It became a simple, safe, educative and fun playground. I highly recommend OC Imagination.

We came here for my birthday and rented a small private room for an hour. There was an option to…read moreadd 30 minutes, but honestly we were pretty tired by the end so an hour was enough for us. It was five adults total--my mom wasn't able to play since she's disabled, but the staff was really accommodating, and we just left the door open so she could sit and watch us play, which worked out perfectly. The games were really fun, and the customer service was great--super friendly and helpful! We had previously tried Activate (which is similar), and I'd say we actually prefer the grid-style game at Activate since it feels more competitive. With RGB Run, the game started to feel a little repetitive after about 30 minutes, so I think it's more geared toward a shorter, one-session experience rather than a full hour. The main reason we chose RGB Run was because they offer private rooms, which is a huge plus. I didn't realize, though, that you're limited to just one style of game when booking, so I was a little disappointed they didn't have the specific game I had hoped for. That said, we still had a really fun time and I'd definitely recommend it for groups who want a private experience. Overall, a really enjoyable spot for something different to do with family or friends. I'd give it 4 stars--mainly because of the limited game options--but everything else (especially the service) was great!

It was an interactive game and I recommend this for all ages. The goal is to clear the blue tiles on the board while avoiding the red tiles. It is safe to stand on the green tiles. Basically, the floor is lava game for 15 minutes. They have two rooms available for the game. There was no wait for a room on weekday, so I would call ahead if you're stopping by on the weekend. I'm not sure how long its been open, but some of the tiles lost its sensitivity. There are different levels to choose from like novice, standard, and difficult. We did standard and it was a workout for me. It is priced per person, the more people then the cheaper. Rooms are equipped with a screen, camera, and phone holder to record your experience. They have a back room to hold a celebration too. And a locker to place your belongings.

I came to Boomers for a corporate event, and honestly, it was a pretty good package. We got…read moreunlimited rides, go-karts, laser tag, and 3 hours of free gameplay. The free games were the blue tap games, so you don't earn tickets, but there were still a ton of fun options. We didn't even come close to using the full 3 hours because there was so much to do. My favorites were the basketball games and Connect 4 basketball. We played a few rounds of laser tag, which was super fun, but a lot of the equipment seemed broken that day. They also couldn't split us into teams, so everyone was playing individually instead. The go-karts were really fun for a group we got a whole round to just our coworkers. Some of the karts definitely felt faster than others, which made things interesting. We also did mini golf, and the course was much bigger than I expected. It took quite a while to get through all the holes. One thing to note is that the rides don't always have staff standing by them. If you want to ride something, you may have to find an employee and ask them to operate it. Overall, there was honestly more to do than we could fit into the 3 hours. We didn't even get to everything we wanted to try. Despite a few operational issues, we had a really fun time and felt like the event package offered a lot of value.

Carlos went out of his way to make sure we were included into a special that they were running for the holiday, and even gave us a card for the arcade. We got to have fun as a family, laugh, and make memories today that will last a lifetime. Thank you so much to the team at Boomers of Irvine for making this Mother's Day one to remember.
