Postponed Aug. 18, 2019 Sprint Triathlons without any clear explanations…read more Be careful! Your payments are non-refundable even when they cancel the event because there's not enough participants! Read their cancellation policy very well! They can take your money and say there's not enough participants and you won't get a refund! They can move you into next year's event but you have to ask them! If you can't do next year, say goodbye to your money! Good luck if you get any email responses! Don't expect any responses if you write them an email through the website!

Did this race on Sunday August 17th. It was my first triathlon - sprint distance. I will do this…read morerace again, no question. Other reviewers are pretty spot on. I would add that the lake you swim in is actually very clean and filtered. Temp was 77 degrees. The run is tough though, and more than makes up for the shorter bike. I ran my worst 5k in months! :) I welcome the challenge. My only caveats with this race is that (1) the volunteers that were working the transition area at 5:15am were cluelessly sending people to the wrong transition spots, (2) the race started 20 minutes late, which meant it was that much hotter when we finished, (3) they had no volunteers on the bike course, and most specifically at the merging area coming out of transition. They also talked a lot about safety on the bike course, and some "trouble spots", but nobody on the course giving us a heads up......I chalked this up to lack of volunteers, but then when I came in to transition I saw a huge grip of them warning me about the dismount line. Well, ok ok riding in to transition can be dangerous.....but we don't need 10 dudes patrolling the dismount line ;) On that note, there were lots of police helping with traffic management. That was awesome.....and impressive. I felt super safe and had a blast running red lights ;)

What an amazing place! They have a little bit of everything and although I can understand how it…read morecan get pricey, compared to K1 speed I prefer here so much more. There's laser tag, bowling, arcades and axe throwing which is helpful for wait in between races. Cameron and Rychie have always been so kind, welcoming and fun to coordinate with. All the gals are sweet too. I bring my son here often, and because of their welcoming spirit I always come back with more kids.

Ralph's Tree Service was quick to respond with estimate for Palm Tree removal…read more The crew was punctual, efficient and did a great job! Ralph stayed in constant contact with me throughout. I would hire them again and would recommend to anyone.

Ralph and his crew (of 3) did a great job on cutting my overgrown backyard ficus trees…read more I definitely would use them again. I received from them the best competitive price out of the 4 tree companies I looked at. The other ones had the largest number of reviews while Ralph has a decent amount. Ralph's can also be found under Santa Monica Tree Service. More reviews (13) are found under homeadvisor and with some found under G oo gle. He has been in the industry for awhile and with his brother's Treeworks. Searching his number will get your results. He was able to show me his license, insurance, and bond documents perfectly much on hand. And he is licensed to do business in Santa Monica. The three others never mentioned this last legal license. However the job wasn't perfect, all minor. There were a decent amount of twigs under the trees. And the cutters missed a tree top corner area that I had to point out to a guy. The guy use a very long tree trimmer pole to cut. They drop a few pieces of debris into my neighbors yard which is a no-no but they cleared it up. A few treetop cuttings drop on my bluestone patio so tree sap marks are there until the next rainstorm. So a lesson for any tree client is to review their work periodically. I was charge the credit card fee which was passed along instead of being absorbed as cost of doing business but their price was significantly better than one else, I didn't hesitate. I didn't tip the guys since I didn't know it was customary and I didn't see anything above and beyond. If they corrected the minor stuff, I would have tipped. So do call Ralph for a competitive quote. He is in my contacts for the future as good quality fair priced contractors are hard to find in LA.

First timers! Lots of great options for food, which included a really delivious watermelon ceviche…read moremixta. Loved the live music and dancing. Decent amount of workers picking up trashing and turning over tables. Cons: Kinda expensive parking. The soccer field is very dry and uneven, a fall risk for sure. Not that much shade anywhere. Watermelon slices not free this year. Not a fan of the excessive AI useage for decor, signs, and menus looks cheap. Probably wouldn't return but it was a good, one time experience.

This year was our first time attending the California watermelon festival at Hamsen Dam in Lakeview…read moreTerrace. There were lots of food booths, gift booths selling watermelon-themed products, petting zoo with pony rides, carnival rides, and live music. We enjoyed the vintage car display, and we ate our fair share of watermelon themed food and drank watermelon themed cocktails. It was nice to dance to the live bands that they had playing all day. However, it is not a cheap experience if you are trying to entertain your family. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for kids, and you have to pay $15 to park. Then food is about $20 for a plate, cocktails range from $14-$24, and unlimited carnival rides are $30 per ticket. And the petting zoo and the pony rides also cost money. So if you are a family of four, you will be spending a small fortune. I think my Hubby and I had a cheap date compared to the parents since we just ate and drank and danced to the live bands. The lines are also just sooooo long to get any kind of food or drink. I think as far as fairs go, this is a pretty typical one save for the watermelon theme, but I think parents should be prepared to drop a lot of money. Would be comparable to going to Magic Mountain or Knott's Berry Farm.

We had hoped to get a couple races in today but stopped after just one. We live in Sacramento so will use our race credits there in the future.

We hosted a birthday party here for my 9 year old. I had many points of contact with both the party…read moreplanner at corporate and the location before the event. The service on the day was very disappointing. Often, we were unable to find our party host. The food was very delayed coming out despite my asking multiple times beforehand that it be delivered promptly. They do not provide any water to guests - part of the party package is one drink ticket per kid and the options are bottles of water, gatorade, or soda. You can imagine that every kid picked gatorade and was over-sugared and dehydrated. I asked for pitchers of water. The arcade is a room with about 10 games - only half of which work + all of which are filthy. They are very expensive. Our races started almost 30 minutes late. What should have been a fun party ended up being an extra hour long, and really expensive. I have not recommended this venue to friends. No one at corporate, or the venue, has addressed my issues as of April 14, 2026. 4/23/26 Update: Thanks for responding, Jane D. I emailed and called both corporate and the location and no one has gotten back to me. You can send me a direct number and I'll reach out.

The only negative were the prizes for the games. At five bucks a pop you would think they would…read more give out stuffed animals for winning the games, but instead they would just give generic toys you would find at the dollar store. This fair does have rides , which looked pretty fun. The food was your typical fair food, everything we tried was ok. I appreciated the security at the front entrance checking people in. There was a good command presence, and they did a good job walking around making sure everything was on the up and up. There were plenty of tables and chairs to eat and enjoy the live entertainment. The crowd was having fun and the volunteers did a good job keeping everything running smoothly. It's always nice to support the local schools They have silent auction and hourly 50/50 raffles. The parking lot gets full rather quickly, so expect to look for street parking. All in all it was a fun outing

This is one of the few fairs that runs in the city annually as a fundraiser for the church/school…read more While it is a nice community event, the latest iteration does leave quite a bit to be desired. The amount of carnival games I almost non-existent for a fair, as there were only 6 games total for attendees to play. Definitely not enough variety for kids. And winning tickets which they needed to redeem for prizes that looked rather sad and definitely not even worth $1, even for 6+ tickets is just sad. A slightly positive in that most games were priced reasonably for current standards at $3-5 ea play. The lines for the rides were all very lengthy and doubt you could really get your money's worth from the unlimited ride wristband. Otherwise each ride would cost from $6 and up. The food selection was average though with plenty of varied options. While I do like to support the local community when I can, not sure I would attend this again next year with the decrease in carnival type atmosphere and seemingly more of a pocketbook stretcher to get any fun out of this fair.
