The laser tag was extremely fun for the kids! Man, I had forgotten how much fun laser tag is until I saw my kid and her friends playing. Then the party room was simple, but served its purpose really well. Our party hostess, Karrina, was really great with the kids and made sure the party kept moving along. I think what I liked the best about the experience for the party, was that our hostess walked the kids around to the rides and through the arcade so they could familiarize themselves with the layout of the Boardwalk. As I was talking with the adults, we were discussing competitors like Bowlero and Lucky Strike and how unreasonably priced it is for a family of four now a days. Just the arcades there are so expensive! Here, the kids were able to make their tokens last for hours and walked away with some fun prizes too. I hope the prices never get ridiculously high here. I grew up going to Parkway Bowl and the Boardwalk. I am so happy that the accessible pricing has remained. Additional shout outs to MC and Noelle (staff members who were very helpful and attentive). Please don't change Parkway! Thank you for allowing us to host an epic party!

It was convenient to enjoy a satisfying meal without having to leave the facility, allowing us to maximize our time enjoying the attractions. The bowling alley was another highlight of the visit. It was clean, well-maintained, and fun for both kids and adults. The lanes were easy to use, and the atmosphere was energetic without being overwhelming, making it a great activity for families and groups. One of the most impressive aspects of the park was that it never felt overcrowded. The spacious layout and well-managed guest flow meant short wait times and plenty of room to move around comfortably. We will definitely come back. ALL 3 kids, plus my bestie and I had a BLAST

Highly recommend for Halloween fun!

And I am so glad we did! Can't believe we have been missing out all these years (I believe this is their 15th year) We had VIP entry for 7pm and at 1st I thought I could have saved some money and gone general entry but ended up the extra cost was well worth the money. The general entry line wasn't super long at 1st but for sure it started getting packed. We were 1st in line and eager to check everything out and get some good scares. The trial is a bit uneven but is well lit and actually not too bad to walk. The scareators were amazing, the props as well and the staff superb! The scares are enhanced knowing you are literally walking through the buildings and area of the old amusement park. We were in the first group to enter and what I liked not is we were spaced out. Even though there were roughly 8 of us we all got a chance to get scared. There was no overcrowding or trying to fit too many people through at once. It was perfect. Parking is free and easy in and out (dirt lot but we'll maintained). Depending on the time and date you go might help factor in which ticket option you want. There are three options, general line, fast pass, and VIP. Each allow you to stand in or bypass the line. Later in the season I would for sure go with fast pass at least. I can picture this haunt getting busier. Overall a great local haunt, well priced, easy to get to and awesome people. Can't wait to go back!

After parking, completing registration, and waiting in line (10+ mins), I was finally informed--after a long delay--that my son wouldn't be able to ride for at least "a couple of hours." At no point was there signage or staff to communicate the wait time, leaving us standing in line with no information. This lack of transparency and service made for a frustrating and unacceptable experience. I lost a good 30 minutes of my day, and on top of that, I had to tell my 7 year old that we could not ride a go kart today and left extremely disappointed your location. Which by the way, is not easy to get to and it is definitely not in the friendliest part of town. A long drive, a long wait, indifferent customer service and no go kart riding made for a forgettable experience. I hope you take this feedback seriously and make necessary improvements to ensure future visitors receive clear communication and better service. I'd appreciate a response regarding how you plan to address these concerns.

I believe it has something to do with the staff needing time to clean between guest visits, yet I did not see any of the staff cleaning in any of the areas being used. We paid for 90 minutes, so I allowed my child to play for 90 minutes. Also, the restrooms are along the back wall on the opposite side of the building -- a bit of a walk. Lastly, a military discount would have been much appreciated. For a few dollars more, we will continue going to Party City where the restrooms are close (and clean), a military discount is offered, and my child can play all day.

I will say the arcade is super fun and you can go on the half point days they have on Wednesdays and Sundays. They had a great deal going on for a deluxe pass for 90 days you can get unlimited game play and up to 1000 tickets for the lowest level. My tip is you go to Costco and get the gift card then purchase this pass and literally costs $80 total for unlimited game play. Of course if you go on Saturday or Friday it will be packed. We went in the mornings or weekdays and it was not crowded at all. They have fun ticket games and the prizes are okay for the level of play you get. What I like about the card is that you can use it at any D&Bs

We were a bit skeptical if this place would be fun for adults, but we decided to give it a shot anyway. As soon as we arrived, parking was super simple and easy to find. Once we arrived, they had a variety of packages to choose from, catering to different requirements. We purchased a power card and loaded the card with adequate balance for all of us. As soon as we walked in, we were pretty excited to try out all the different games on the floor. We started with deal/no deal. This was a fun one. Next, we tried air hockey. They had two tables for air hockey so all four of us could play at the same time. We next tried the Mario racing game and that was fun too. Overall, we played over 12 games and had a great time. It was more of a double date and we are glad that we chose this place. I highly recommend checking out this place as a family or even for your next date night.

The package we ordered included the animatronic dinosaur that kids could ride. It was abit humerous because kids who said they weren't interested in riding the dinosaur ended up riding the dinosaur. Our package also included searching for toy skeleton dinosaurs. My kids loved digging through and trying to find stuff... they through the hay/dirt everywhere looking for the mini skeleton figurines. I do agree,.. the workers might have had better training. I think if they came in with a game plan on how to entertain us.. it could have been even better. They came in... setup the dinosaur. Kids were riding the dinosaur for about an hour. They setup the digging stations. That lasted for an hour too. Finally they brought in a pet dinosaur to explain to the kids. It definitely was more just one event after another instead of like a learning show.

This guy seemed an amazing deal price was killer and I thought maybe it just didn't have a lot of fossils and it was a lot of reconstruction.

I was asking a very simple question when I found out it was a replica. I wasn't rude. I said, cancel my order and they jumped down my throat. It was the rudest thing I've ever experienced and I hope no one ever has to deal with them after reading this.

The San Diego Zoo is one we've wanted to visit for a long time, but never had a chance because it's…read morein San Diego and we're not, and it's not a place we visit routinely. As soon as we booked a Pacific Coast cruise with a port stop in San Diego literally the first words out of my mouth were "And we're going to the San Diego Zoo, right?!?!?!" Fast forward to a port stop in San Diego and a quick 15 minute Lyft and we were standing at the gates. The San Diego Zoo is enormous. One of the docents advised us to take the bus tour, (it's included in your admission fee). It lasts roughly 35-40 minutes and gives you a good overview of the Zoo. Then he told us as an aside "for the best tour sit on the upper level, right side for the best view", and he was right. Since we'd never been here before it only made sense, and the tour was fantastic. It showed us many of highlights of the Zoo, quite a few from vantage points that you don't get while walking. Our tour guide was funny and personable and knew his commentary well. After the bus tour we were pedestrians again. As a group (there were four of us) we each decided what the main thing we wanted to see was. My 'must see' animal was the Red Panda, which I did get to see, albeit a slightly obstructed view. And he was napping. While the San Diego Zoo is known for its Panda exhibit and it's something we wanted, there was roughly a 90 minute to 2 hour wait to see them because of their popularity and, let's face it, it's one of the Zoo's main attractions. We visited a number of the habitats as we walked around (side note: be prepared to do some walking. A LOT of walking). As well as the outdoor habitats there are a number of indoor exhibits everywhere you go. The elephant and the giraffe habitats are ENORMOUS and sprawling, providing plenty of space for exercise and exploration. They're also frequently groomed and modified to keep the animals engaged. If you find yourself in need of souvenirs (or, like, me, a hat because I forgot to bring one) there are shops everywhere. Sun Screen? Bottled water? Battery operated fan? A hat because you may have forgotten one? There's a place nearby. When it comes time for lunch, be prepared to get a little sticker shock. For us (Chicken strips, nachos, and two drinks) it came to $55. While I expect it (we're at a Zoo in San Diego, after all) it's just surprising how it adds up. There are also a number of local artisans who do custom paintings while you visit the Zoo. My wife got her name painted by one very talented young lady with each letter having a different flower or butterfly highlighted. She was amazingly talented. There's a very scenic elevated walkway that connects one part of the park with another. It's a delightful walk that affords some amazing views of the Zoo. Likewise, there's a sky tram to take you from where you are to where you need to be. San Diego Zoo doesn't do reciprocal pricing if you're a member of another Zoo. Since this zoo is funded very largely by admission it can be hard to get a price break. The current daily admission is about $78 per person. If you buy in advance you can save about $5 per person. Given that, I'd recommend buying online in advance. I've been to a lot of Zoos. Each zoo has its own unique personality. San Diego Zoo is, in my opinion, one of the most remarkable. The grounds are well groomed, the park is clean and constantly being cleaned, the habitats are well-maintained, and the signage is helpful and in good repair. I hope to visit again when I have time to explore more. Feet be damned, I could walk this zoo all day.

The way most of the animal habitats are set up, make it very easy to see all of the animals. We must of went on the right day as all the animals were out for full display. I would definitely suggest the double decker bus, ride on top and choose the inside (right side as looking forward). It goes around the edges of the zoo and we got to see a lot of animals from the comfort of our seat and without the walking haha. The driver and host was very informative with a bunch of funny dad type jokes to keep us entertained. If you are hungry, I would definitely have a good breakfast before you come. Haha as can be expected food prices are not kind to the wallet. Next time we are in SD, we'll definitely be stopping by again to check in on our wild life friends.
