This colorful large bounce area is is great for kids and adults alike and was a great deal. When we…read morewent in the last week of September, we got in for $9. It has gone up in price to $19. You get to play in there for 90 minutes or $19 or cheaper depending on if you're a veteran, senior or below two years old. I saw both kids and adults having fun (I did too!). The event has three main structures to play in and one for small children. It also has a place to leave shoes, port a potties, and a seating area to hang out. It was not too crowded and the kids weren't too crazy. I've seen crazier kids at Sky Zone. My lack of one star is because the port a potty had no toilet paper, and it was unclear what you could bring in. You can bring whatever food or water you want, and you can buy water and snow cones there. I also asked a worker how long this event will run and they said into November.

Jumping fun! We…read morewent today for their closing week here in Ventura, so we got to go in for $9 each. My kids love it. I even go to jump around and slide on the slides which was so fun! I was surprised about how large the whole thing really is. It was pretty busy today, but because of the large space we had enough space to jump around and do the slides multiple times. Everyone seemed to be enjoying there time there!

Just visited magic mountain, and it was so hot outside the day I went... The park had tons of…read moreplaces you could go inside with AC, and water was everywhere. So that was cool. The park also feels like there's unlimited amazing roller coasters to go on. If you like roller coasters- and scary ones, this is your spot. Lastly, when I initially bought tickets, I booked a cabana for the following day at their water park. But then accidentally bought tickets to the wrong water park. Instead of hurricane harbor, I bought tix raging waters. When I realized it after signing into my account and there was no tickets for the water park besides the cabana, I contacted customer service and they heard my story, they took into account I spent a ton of money in their park that day as well as bought speed lane passes, and they gave me a full refund on the cabana. I thought that was incredibly nice. So, overall experience was absolutely 5 stars. Will definitely come back!! Thank you magic mountain for such a good time!

My partner and I attended Magic Mountain on Friday, August, 14th…read more We arrived right after the park opened and entered super fast. The park was fairly empty. We raced for X2 but of course it was closed...ugh. We got on Tatsu using our fast passes. Took about 20 minutes. Not bad. Tatsu was as great as ever. We then rode Full throttle. Again about 15 minute wait. Great! That ride is insane! The park started heating up and we quickly realized none of the lines had any relief. No misters, fans, or AC in most of the lines. The Goliath fast pass line was a series of stairs in 90 degree heat. Samurai Summit from the backside was a horrible walk. No relief areas as in drink stands either. Everything boarded up and closed. It looked bad. The wait for fast passes started becoming an hour. Ridiculous if you ask me. Wouldnt bother me if it wasnt so hot. The food prices are what you would expect, about $18 for anything to start. Its the drink prices that blow my mind. $16 for a white claw is insane. No cash accepted as well. Overall, a decent experience. The park just needs to invest in customer comfort and quality of life improvements to make this park shine.

We brought our 7-year-old son to K1 Racing in Thousand Oaks specifically for their youth night,…read moreexcited for a fun family evening. Their own website clearly states to arrive at 6pm, with no mention of calling ahead, no reservation system, no waitlist. So that's exactly what we did. We arrived on time only to be turned away because the spots were already gone. Apparently there's an unwritten rule that regulars know to call ahead, information conveniently absent from their website. When we asked the general manager, Cameron, why this wasn't communicated anywhere publicly, her repeated response was essentially "we're popular", offered with the self-satisfaction of someone who sees no problem with the situation. No apology. No empathy. No acknowledgment that their website is actively misleading customers. Just a shrug and a reminder that this is "how you learn for next time." My son was in tears. What's most frustrating isn't the miscommunication, it's the attitude. A good manager finds a way to soften the blow, acknowledge the failure, and make a family feel heard. Cameron did none of that. When I pointed out that if calling ahead is policy, it should be stated publicly, she had no real answer, just more deflection about how popular they are. K1 may be too busy to care about losing one family's business, but we had been planning a birthday party there. That won't be happening. If you value clear communication and basic customer service, proceed with caution.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I've lived in Orange County most of my life and haven't yet gone to Adventure City. I've driven by…read moreit many times and remembered going to Hobby City when it was at the same location (which has been closed for years). If you have kids, this is worth a visit and is affordable. Parking is free, and there are plenty of spaces when their isn't other events or services going on at the same location. My first visit was for a family kid's birthday party, and we were all pleasantly surprised. The party itself was organized well and had its own area inside one of the buildings. We had our own area decorated (you can bring your own decorations, too), and the food was fantastic for amusement park food. We had pizza, turkey sandwiches, chicken tenders, soda, and punch. We had about an hour for lunch before being released to enjoy the rest of the park. Many of the staff were kind during the party and throughout the park and made the experience that much nicer. The variety of rides here will please most young kids and adults. There are a couple of roller coasters, a carousel, a train that circles once around the park, and many more rides. I'm surprised how much they fit into the park space. There is also an arcade and a petting zoo. For food in the park, you have the standard burgers, pizza, tenders, pretzels, churros, ICEE, ice cream, and more. The prices aren't too bad either. Plenty of snacks and merch to purchase, too. There are also plenty of places to sit and relax, with shaded areas. Especially needed during a warm SoCal day. It was the first time for many guests in our party, and everyone enjoyed the experience. Many of the kids want to go back and have their birthday parties here next year, too.

The rides are definitely fit for my precious girl. She did not want to leave. The only negative I would say is that the arcade is waaay too loud. I recommend lowering the sounds of the machines if possible because even I found myself irritated inside but overall we had a great time. We'd come back again.

Bubblemania was so much fun to have at my nephew's 6th birthday…read more They came right on time with all the supplies: kiddy pools, wands of many shapes, and a ton of bubble solution. The kids LOVED it! And it was great for the adults because the kids never left the bubble stations. There were so many different wands and ways to make bubbles. The lady who came did such a nice job. She was very friendly and so sweet to the kids. Any time someone had trouble, she would patiently show them how to make the bubbles. As the activity went on, she introduced other bubble making tools like a rope. Each new item captivated the kids. In particular, a few of the kids were timid at first. I thought the lady was very kind and encouraging. All of the kids warmed up to her and took part with the bubbles. I was happy to see some adults getting in on the fun as well. And even some parents teaming up with the kids to try to make the biggest bubble possible. It was a ton of fun all around. At the end, everything was cleaned up and taken away. It was a very effortless way to have an outdoor activity for kids. Highly recommend!

I came here often as a child, and I remember having so much fun here, especially when Nickelodeon…read morewas ingrained here. It was every 90s child's dream! But I feel like we could all relate that the magic of Universal Studios left when Nickelodeon stopped being a part of Universal. All of the magic that made it special was just gone. That was until they secured a contract with Nintendo and Super Mario Land came along in 2021. I was looking at it on TikTok around this time last year and was saying, "Man, I wish I could go there." Then I realized that I'm grown and started planning part of my summer vacation there! Pro tip: Absolutely pay the extra money to get into Super Mario World early. The short line for "Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge" is worth it alone! I only waited 15 minutes, and once the park opened, it immediately went to 80 minutes. Also, it's worth mentioning that you ride a set of steep escalators down into Super Mario World at the edge of the park, and seeing all that gorgeous architecture on the ride down for the first time is literally breathtaking. My inner child was so happy and almost shed a tear. They really put a lot of attention to detail into this part of Universal Studios. Also, definitely get a Power Band and connect it to the Universal app. Although it's a steep extra $40, they make the park more interactive and give you access to the Bowser Jr. Boss Fight Game/Ride. Also, who doesn't want to be able to hit the iconic Power Blocks just like Mario? I'm mad at myself that I didn't get a picture. Also, all of the Mario character meet and greets were so awesome. My friend and I also secured reservations at Toadstool Café. I'll write about that in a separate review. Once we were done with all the oohs and aahs of Super Mario World, we explored everywhere else. I loved the Mummy Ride, Secret Life of Pets Ride, the iconic Universal Studios Tram Tour, amongst other things. We also met Homer and Marge Simpson, Beetlejuice, and Hello Kitty. All in all, this was one of the best days of my life, no exaggeration. Universal Studios got its magic back, baby! P.S. There's a rumor that Simpsons Land is going to be replaced with a Pokémon World. But it's just a rumor atp. If it ends up being true, I will definitely be back with an updated review.

Universal studios Hollywood is a great experience for locals and beyond. I became an annual pass…read moreholder last year because they offer a discounted socal resident pass and it's such a good deal compared to other parks. (You basically get an annual pass for the price of 1 day) Of course, with many block out dates however if you use the pass at least twice you already got a deal. The park is pretty small, but for someone that can get overwhelmed by crowds this is fine because I can get to where I want to go quicker. The only annoying part are the stairs/escalators so many of them so you waste a lot of time there. And the recent price increase on parking not sure if they do dynamic pricing or it's due to the recent renovations, but I went last year and paid $30 then a few weeks ago it was $40. That's so expensive and annoying. Needless to say It's still more affordable than other places and I love the minions/simpsons land so ill be back :)

I like this zoo because, while much smaller than the LA zoo, there are fewer crowds and you have…read morethe opportunity to see more animals up close. There's also a petting barn area, and you can pay extra to feed the giraffes. It takes approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours to see everything. Admission is $39.95 for adults, $29.95 for kids, and $11 for parking. Or, if you're lucky like me, go with a friend who bought an annual membership that lets you bring additional people to the zoo for free, and parking is free too! There are different membership prices and levels depending on the number of people in your family. Cost ranges from $139 to $299. There are also places to buy drinks and snacks and a large play area for kids!
