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!

Another worker helped us and moved us to open seats so it was all fine in the end but it was definitely still an upsetting experience !

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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Better than Disneyland, yeah, I said it and I'll say it again. Better than Disneyland!!…read more Such a cute and convenient theme park for kids literally babies up to almost-big-kids. Every ride my son (4 years old at the time) rode on with myself or his auntie was so thrilling for him. He also experienced his first roller coaster here and he enjoyed it. We also ate lunch here and I'd have to say even the pricing for their food is decent for this day and age. Extremely grateful by how clean they keep the theme park and how friendly the staff are! Definitely a must-visit if you're ever in the OC area and need a fun spot to take your little ones where it won't break the bank for you.

We took my 7month old baby here and there is a couple of rides that we can take him on. The fun part was the carouseland the petting zoo.

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!

The staff runs this place like the military; they got everything organized to a T. The first area…read moremy group (4 young adult women) went to upon getting there around opening time was the Super Mario world. My friends are way bigger fans of that whole world than me. I had my phase of Mario Kart when I was 8-10 years old, but that was it. They kept the Mario kart ride moving smoothly; the ride said 45 minutes but I feel like the time went by faster as we were always moving in a perpetual fashion. It was a fun ride; my only complaint was that I wish it was moving on the track faster. We were stagnant at several points waiting for the cart to continue moving. I also was shooting at everything I saw the entire time AND moving along the track with my friend next to me and then end up getting LITERALLY 0 COINS at the end like what?? Anyway, we didn't spend all day at the park since we had other obligations in the evening, but I feel like the amount of activities we did, it was not worth the $150 ticket plus $40 in parking. But that's how any amusement park is nowadays, so can't really complain I guess. The outside shopping section outside of the actual park was really neat; a lot of niche shops ranging from an autograph place to Sephora (so ANY mall-esque store you could think of). All of the food and beverages we tried, such as the cone Mac & cheese and the Mario sodas were pretty good, just pricey, as usual. Lots of shopping potential both inside and outside the park.

Universal Studios Hollywood is worth visiting for the studio tour alone. The tour takes you onto…read moreactual working lots, so what you see varies depending on what's currently filming that unpredictability is part of what makes it special. The rides, on the other hand, were underwhelming. Jurassic World was the best of the bunch, followed by the Harry Potter rides. Everything else was just okay. The VIP experience includes unlimited rides, but honestly, nothing in the park felt worth it enough to ride more than twice. If I were visiting purely for the rides, I'd choose Disneyland over Universal every time. In fact, if it weren't for my excellent tour guide, my recommendation would be: skip the Universal tour, pay for the Warner Bros. tour instead, and spend your ride-time at Disneyland.

FALSE ADVERTISING My…read morewife and I have had some lovely visits to the SB Zoo over the years, but our last one... wasn't. We entered the zoo at around 4pm, and by the time we got to the back to see the lions and gorillas (our favorites), they had been put to bed. We learned from staff that the "superstars" of the zoo (lions, snow leopards, mountain gorillas, etc.), are put to bed at 4:30pm! This meant we'd spent $80 and wouldn't see what we came for. We brought this to the attention of a guest relations staffer who told us it was just bad luck, that they move in and out of their enclosers. The internet revealed the lie, "The Santa Barbara Zoo's lions usually start heading off-exhibit and into their behind-the-scenes holding areas between 3:30 PM and 4:00 PM, though the specific time can occasionally shift depending on the season and the keepers' daily routine." And the zoo's own site says the gorillas aren't visible after 4:30pm! We contacted Tanner, the Guest Experience Manager, and he reiterated the lie. That same lie is repeated on a poster at the entrance, where a picture of a lion at magic hour advertises "Twilight Hours until 7pm" (see attached pic). I cc'd the CEO of the zoo about the matter and received no response. So, go visit the animals, but know that the Twilight Hours is an easily proven con job and the management could use some serious improvement in guest relations.
