    Definitely worth your time and money! The whole time all I can think about is how they put up the tent and how the staff travels throughout cities on a yearly basis. That was impressive to me from the get-go. I was also impressed way how they don't waste time and are always doing something to entertain you even while they are changing sets. I have gone the last two years in a row and I love bringing clients. This is definitely a pattern breaking entertainment it's different from most shows you'll see. This show gets five stars from me!

    Fantastic experience! Had several moments where everyone's jaw dropped and gasping. Kids had lots of fun.

    This review is for the shows at the Great Park location in 2015. This location was easily accessible and had plenty of free parking. Got discount tickets through Groupon. It was good family entertainment for the price and a lot cheaper than Cirque. Don't over dress as there is not much air ventilation inside the tent. By the way, there are 2-for-1 deals and coupons to be had if you look hard.

    We went to the show in Laguna hills. Everyone loved it especially our little kids. This will be a yearly activity for us going forward.

    Suggestions on where to sit w 3 year old.?

    I would say a three year old might be a little young still. Parts are very loud . The show was great for children 5 and up I would say.Hope this helps.

These games are designed for groups of 2 to 5 players. My husband and I visited, just the 2 of us, and we had a blast. We booked the 90 minute experience, which felt like the perfect amount of time to try out all of the games that we were interested in. Each person has to set up a profile with a player name. This can be done either at the facility or beforehand. Once you check in, everyone gets a tracking wristband that is used to scan into the challenge rooms and keep track of your score. The staff were very friendly and informative. We received a quick tour of the place before playing the games. There is a locker room to store your stuff, and a different wristband is used to access your assigned locker. Wearing comfortable sneakers and clothing is a must. A good chunk of the games will require moving around and being physically active. There is the perfect balance of dynamic games focusing on mental vs physical abilities. Most of the games are teambuilding games where we have to work together to complete the game levels. There are also some games where we can compete against each other. Some of my favorite rooms are Mega Grid, Portals, Strike, and Hoops. I highly recommend checking out this high-tech active gaming facility if you haven't yet. It is part of a large outdoor mall with many surrounding stores. Make sure to book the experience ahead of time to secure your spot.

    This place was actually really fun! The downside is there's a limit of 5 people per room, which…read moredidn't really work well with our party of 6. We ended up having to split up into groups of 3/3. We also learned the hard way that a 4/2 split didn't work since the games wouldn't activate with just a 2 person group. I recommend wearing gym clothes cause you will be activate - they also have lockers for free to store your items. Time starts when you start your first game - so plan accordingly! Favorite rooms: Laser room and mega grid. Most games only last 1-2 minutes so there's not much of a wait time if there is another group inside. But time moves quickly!!! I would def. check out the reservation times and try to go at a time with less people (probably not really possible on weekends). Also, I came here pregnant and STILL had a great time!

For years we hoped to stop by, but life kept getting busy and we never quite made it--until now. On our very first visit, we were lucky enough to meet the homeowners themselves. They generously walked our four kids through each creation and section, encouraging them to ask questions and even sharing their own favorite parts of the movie that inspired it all. Watching our kids light up during that interaction made the experience even more special. What makes this display even more incredible is knowing that every single character in the yard is handcrafted by the homeowners themselves. The time, care, and love poured into this display is undeniable. A truly magical experience created by genuinely amazing people. We are so grateful we finally made the visit--and it's now a holiday memory our family will cherish.

Today I had the wonderful opportunity conversing with the homeowner again he loves to share how he made each individual character from common items, such as washtubs, potato sacks, Water cans, etc. He mentioned that he does it for the community, especially the children. Furthermore, I found out today that as we grow closer to Christmas / winter holiday the outdoor decorations transitions/change into more of a Christmas theme (as the movie itself does) And as we get closer to December 25, he's going to put up a Christmas tree, and then the stockings! I love slowly driving by here, especially with a passenger, who's never seen the house before and is shocked at how beautifully done it is! In conclusion, we give Much thanks to the homeowner and the neighborhood for having this heartfelt display for all to enjoy !

The F4 car simulation felt incredibly close to what I'd imagine driving a real formula car would be like. The force feedback, handling, and overall immersion were on another level. As a complete novice, I was surprised to earn a 4-star rating in my first session and a 3-star rating during the F4 testing. Even more encouraging was the positive feedback from the instructor, who pointed out that I was already counter-steering some drifts naturally. The staff was knowledgeable, welcoming, and clearly passionate about racing. They made the experience fun while also helping me improve. This wasn't just a game--it felt like actual driver training. I'm already planning to come back and race against others. If you're into motorsports, sim racing, or just want to experience what driving a formula car feels like, this place is absolutely worth a visit. Highly recommended.

I will 100% be back again and I will be telling all my friends about this. A truly unique experience. You really feel the true race car experience and I think you need to wear workout clothes cause I felt the sweat from trying to concentrate and control the car. The cost is so worth the 1 or 2 hour time slot. I'm sold and will be looking into a membership cause I'm addicted.

It's good to note you need to book a time online. The class is only $45 and then you pay separately for the frame -- they have different sizes and finishes. When you check in, you'll sign a form and then watch an instructional video on how to make the piece. After that, you can get your tweezers, tray and start choosing the dried flowers you'd like to use. They also have premium flowers that range from around $3 - $5 if you want something extra special. This is truly a one of a kind experience, and while some may say it's expensive, it would be even more to buy in a store. Plus, you're paying for the instruction, memories, materials and art that lasts a lifetime!

A perfect event for a team building or family event. There were a few kids in the class that looked like they were having fun. The instructions were very clear, and the timing was perfect. The instructors leading the class were helpful for guiding the design if asked. I do think they could take a bit more time to frame at the end so everything dries a bit further. It's in a big mall so plenty to do while we wait for that. Would do again!

There was also bottled drinks like tea in a glass container behind the bar area. The food was decent pub food. There was plenty of parking. I liked that they had board games and pinball machines available. I had an enjoyable time here. The downsides were that the place was a bit small and hot during the summer with only fans running. Drinks: I like drinks on the sweeter side. The bartender was nice and let me try different flavors to pick what I like. * Seltzer - Baja Blast 5/5 - Good sweet drink that didn't feel like I'm drinking alcohol. * Ube Painkilla 3.5/5 - Pretty drink, light purple. A bit sweet, but had a cough syrup aftertaste. * Cider drink 4/5 - Kinda like an apple cider drink, but more beer-y. * Soju Cocktail - Didn't get this. I thought it'd be sweet from the online menu. Apparently it has a ginger and serrano chili pepper taste, so not what I wanted. FOOD: * BBQ Wings 4/5 - Juicy and flavorful wings. * Lemon Pepper Wings 3/5 - Not bad, but kinda dry and really sour. * Cesar Salad 4/5 - Who orders salad for a game night? Jk. It was actually pretty good. Plenty of dressings and shaved cheese on top. * Pretzel Bites 3.5/5 - Dense pretzel bread bites with sea salt on top. * Flatbread 3.5/5 - Flatbread okay. Ours came with shredded pork on top that was kinda dry and had no flavor. * Fried Wonton 2/5 - Crispy wontons filled with cream cheese. The cream cheese was a bit much to eat. * Egg Rolls 2/5 - Crispy vegetable egg rolls. Had a bitter aftertaste.
