It's been an amazing experience the lights are absolutely beautiful perfect for those special memories to be made with your family and friends. They have a huge ball pit for the kids, thrill show and a circus act three shows a night to be exact. The four legged family is also invited as long as he / she is in a stroller or carrying bag and isn't roaming around freely. There's plenty of snacks to buy and hot coco to keep you warm on these cold Arizona nights you won't be disappointed.

Carl's Damaged Pet Warehouse is such a unique experience in Gilbert. It's a private rescue farm…read morewhere you can get up close to Highland cows, donkeys, pigs, and the cutest rescue pup I've ever seen. I don't know who Carl is but he is quite generous to share his property with the public--he even provides buckets of carrots and pellets to feed the animals and a sink with soap and water to wash your hands. A few things to know before you go: Because this is at a private residential home, there are no public bathrooms available, so plan accordingly! It's also a bit out of the way on a dirt road, which adds to the rustic charm but can be a surprise if you aren't expecting it. It's a wonderful, low-key way to spend 30 minutes with some very happy animals. Donations are highly encouraged but not required.

My family and I stopped by for their half-day swim (aka the evening session), and honestly, we had…read morea blast. Before we even got in the water, I found myself wandering through the merch shop. I have to give them credit--they actually have some pretty cool stuff. I ended up buying a sweat- and water-resistant hat with a shaka patch on it. Needless to say, I left happy before I even hit the water. The surf lagoon is the obvious star of the show. Having waves crash onto a white sandy beach is a pretty awesome experience, especially here in Arizona. There were plenty of lounge chairs, umbrellas, and shaded areas, so it never felt like we were fighting for space. The diving pool was another pleasant surprise. There are multiple platforms to jump from, and the lifeguards allow enough freedom to have fun without making the experience feel overly restrictive. If you're feeling adventurous, they also offer body surfing and surf lessons. The amenities were solid as well. The bathrooms were clean, spacious, and had plenty of changing rooms and stalls. Lockers are available to rent, which is a nice convenience if you're bringing the family. We also grabbed food while we were there. No, it isn't five-star dining, but that's not why you're here. More importantly, it was genuinely better than I expected for a water park. What impressed me most was the overall atmosphere. It was energetic without feeling chaotic. My family had an absolute blast, but somehow the park still managed to feel relaxing and comfortable--something I can't say about many water parks. We'll definitely be back.

This is such a fun place. We came on Father's Day with our friends. They rented a cabana near the…read morecliff jumping. The cabanas have a nice strong fan mister, keeps it nice and cool in the Arizona heat. The kids really loved the different levels of cliff jumping and boogie boarding in the wave pool. Every hour it's switches between boogie boarding and surfing. I would recommend bringing your own boogie board. You can rent them for $30-$35 but when we asked to rent, they were all being used. You can still be in the water while the surfers ride the waves but you have to be closer to the shallow end. I did notice that the pretend sand in the water is peeling off. It definitely needs some updating. Bring some beach toys if your kids want to play in the sand. In the afternoon the sand was too hot in the sun but once the sun set it was perfect to play in the sand. We all really enjoyed their drinks and food. The kids liked their sliders, tenders and fries. My husband and I shared their coco loco tacos. I didn't realize the loco sauce was a hot sauce, the tacos definitely have a kick. They were good but I would have maybe asked for the sauce on the side next time. They guac and chip were awesome-pomegranate , pineapple pico, and crispy carnitas. This location is about 45 min away for us but this would be a great place to cool off at after a baseball tournament at cactus yards! Looking forward to next time.

We were all engaged in the activities and able to follow along on the prompts - nothing too difficult to remember and definitely a fun time! I was also a very feisty and outspoken competitor who almost got banned so be warned! They will disqualify you! :P I also thoroughly appreciate the staff dressing for the occasion and acting the part, making sure that the parties are actively participating and having fun throughout the event and that everyone has their turns. We all had a blast making each other laugh and teasing as well. Because there were different rooms I'm definitely curious what other games were in the other room so I'll surely come back for more :) This is definitely a great spot for family, friends, or even work activities. They offered space for catering and sell soft drinks as well as adult beverages for a reasonable price. Bathrooms are very clean and also single person rooms. Really good AC and clean environment. I would highly recommend this as an alternative to the common alternative dave and b's or escape rooms etc. for some adult fun! Plus you get to use your noggin!

Came here for a private event where there were claw machines along each side of the two walls and an instagram worthy wall of cute stuffies! They had a few small machines of small goodies and then one huge machine for the huge claw goers and the rest were just right sizes. Many of the stuffies were cute- not just okay but cute! It's $1 per token where you buy in increments of 1,5,10,20,etc. You can even trade your smaller stuffies for a bigger one depending on how many you have to trade. The place was clean and owners were super nice and friendly. This is worth coming back for some fun!

We ended up cashing most of it in for the for sure winner figurines. The staff there were super nice and helpful and accommodating to the kids' wishes. So we came out happy campers and no tears in the end. This is a perfect place to take your kids or friends for a reward or birthday treat! Don't forget to take your pic at the Cozy Claw wall! It's filled with all the cutest plushies!

Decent selection of stores, but not too many good restaurants, mainly overpriced chains. There's also an underlying snotty vibe at this mall.

It can be pretty at night time, but it's usually decently hard to find parking.

I was very disappointed with our visit. This was advertised as a petting zoo, but there was no…read moreactual petting allowed. Visitors could only feed the animals through a fence, which was not what we expected. Customer service was also very poor. When we arrived, the woman working only asked how many feed bags we wanted and did not engage with us further. The next interaction we had was when she yelled at us because people were having a meeting next door. We completely understand the need to be respectful of others, but her approach was rude and unprofessional. My daughter was especially disappointed because she was looking forward to interacting with the animals. Additionally, many of the animals appeared dirty and did not look well cared for, which was concerning. Overall, this experience did not match the description of a petting zoo, and the lack of customer service made the visit even less enjoyable. Unfortunately, we would not recommend it.

The experience was visually interesting. I have neck problems so it was hard for me to hold the device up too long but I also enjoyed just laying down on the floor and looking about. My friend enjoyed the animal tour. I didn't realize the experience was a virtual reality as it looks like a walk through on the website so that was a bit disappointing but that could be because I didn't fully read the descriptions.
