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!

What's up Flavor Budz!!…read more So, it's been a minute since I've been to Six Flags. I was feeling the burn, seriously, walked for hours! But anything for my niece, she wanted to be there for her birthday, so there we were. The family showed up and showed out for my baby girl. She and her closest girlfriends had a blast. The park wasn't crowded, so they got through lines pretty quick. The park is still in good shape, most rides are running, I just didn't realize how hilly it was! Eh! Good thing I had my cute walking shoes on, auntie was cute! Ok! My hubby upgraded our day pass, so Six Flags, I'll be back! P.S. If you're interested, upgrade your day pass inside the park for $50 a ticket. You get access to all four parks: Knott's Soak City, Six Flags, and Hurricane Harbor! - You're welcome

For context, this is for my experience back in January 2024, my second or third visit to the park…read more For someone who loved thrill rides, it is indeed a coaster paradise (loved Tatsu, Full Throttle, X2 in particular). Couldn't get on Twisted Colossus due to size, barely got on Batman. But that isn't why I'm rating this low. No, I'm rating this low because of how the park responded to lost/found items. Fast forward to 2025 briefly; got a Disney pass, lost some Sunglasses on Splash mountain ride, got them back within the week, despite being lost on an obscure part of the ride. So what happened in January then? I was riding the dueling coasters based on cars. A fun concept, truly. Was really enjoying myself... until we stopped back into the station. I do blame myself for losing my phone after stupidly placing it in my back pocket of my pants; the phone slipped out during one of the loops in the second half of the ride, landing in an obscure part of the park below the tracks. However, I certainly do not blame myself for what happened after, but on the park: Once I got home 60 miles later, I uploaded the phone's location via Find My to the park's lost and found website, along with a link to a POV video where the loss approximately took place. A report was made shortly after. Fast forward to July of that year: I'm at my work's conference, and get a random text... from China. Evidently my phone was actually found at Six Flags, but was sold on some black market to be taken into China. Keep in mind: despite a report being made, no official response was made from Six Flags about the phone's fate. It's partially why I stopped visiting Six Flags altogether after my birthday in June... the Magic and thrill of visiting that Mountain died out, all because one bad customer service experience, and lack of due diligence. I certainly hope the lost/found experience had gotten better since the merger, but in case it hadn't? Let this be a warning, and god help you.

SO. MUCH. FUN!!!!!…read more Came here last min with my friend and we had sooooo much fun! Got two races and a 10$ game card for 50$ which seems like a lot of money but it was worth it!! The worker told me that Tuesdays they have buy one get one free races and you don't have to use them that day so keep that in mind!

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.

Cant believe I have never heard of this place sooner! This place was so much fun I am so glad that…read moreI found out about it! 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. We definitely will be returning the Adventure City in the nearby future! Only reason I put 4 stars is because the food prices were high like all the other theme parks.

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!

Bubblemania was absolutely incredible and the clear hit of the party for our 4 and 2 year olds and…read moreour guests. From the start, scheduling and putting down the deposit was very simple and straightforward. Nat reached out ahead of time to confirm timing, location, and all the details, which made everything feel easy and well organized. During the party, Nat did an amazing job showing the kids how everything worked, demonstrating some seriously impressive bubble skills, and most importantly were incredibly thoughtful about how to engage with each child. Some kids wanted hands-on support, others preferred to jump right in on their own, and Nat handled that balance perfectly. Nat also did a great job keeping the space tidy and ready for the next kid, which made the whole experience feel calm and well run. We received so many compliments from other parents. My 67-year-old dad said it was the best birthday party he's ever been to. Honestly, I don't know how we could have another party at a local park without Bubblemania. Truly incredible and worth every bit.

Pay for parking but with in:out privileges. Currently the park closes a bit early (latest was 8pm). Not sure when they will be open any later.

This place was on Jen's list of things to do, so we decided to plan a one day visit…read more Checking out the parking and traffic conditions for a Monday adventure, we opted to take the Metrolink train to Union Station, then an Uber to Universal Studios. Considering that Uber drops you off at the entrance, the cost of the train/Uber is the same as driving (gas) and valet parking. Big win to start and allowed for resting on the way home. Bought our tickets through AAA, so a nice little savings there. Getting through security and into the park was fine. Due to the change in weather, we got a small locker which came in handy for our jacket/sweatshirt and a few personal items. $10 and you can access it as many times as you want all day. We sampled as much of the park as we could in a day. Kung Fu Panda Adventure, Harry Potter World (had a Butterbeer, rode Flight of the Hippogriff and Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey), Jurassic World - The Ride (my favorite), Revenge of the Mummy - The Ride, Transformers: The Ride-3D (Jen's favorite) and finished with Despicable Me Minion Mayhem. All lines moved well (HP & the FJ did have a slight mechanical delay) and the longest wait was just over 30 minutes. As for the rides, if you have motion sickness like I do, be warned that most are "simulation" rides and it will take some effort to keep your head and stomach right. We grabbed a few souvenirs on the way out and called it a successful visit. This park is meant to be experienced in more than one day, so if you want to try every single adventure, plan on two or more days. The park does offer a second day free ticket, so the additional cost is either transportation or a local hotel room. The annual pass (starting at $179) is another great idea, so you wouldn't have to do a back to back days. I personally don't plan on coming back, but only because the rides aren't the kind I enjoy and not indicative on the park itself.

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.

I believe. I believe. I believe…read more We went with a group of 15, we all purchased our tickets separately and were still able to grab seats near one another. The seats were perfect and comfy. The actors where fun and engaging and wow could they sing. The most magical moment is when santa shows up and the fact that he spends one on one time with every child is worth it. Is there room for improvement absolutely. The set up before getting on the train is just thrown together and you don't feel like you're at the north pole at all. The gift shop feels like a last minute idea, again just thrown together. If my kids weren't so young this probably would have not been worth it but they are and still believe in the magic of Christmas so it worked for us this year. Plenty of parking Bathroom is quite a ways away from the train so make sure to go before heading toward the train. Tickets are a little pricey in comparison to the value of event. If it weren't for the actors one on one engagement with our little ones and santa this would have been a flop so kudos to every single one of the performers for truly making the whole experience.
