It was very interactive and not to mention - Bionerds live up to its name with "Bug Me if You Dare" tshirt design - such a catchy phrase for marketing! We need adult size merch ASAP with 100% cotton material (special request lol)! I'll be the first customer. Children were able to learn about insects and see them crawl LIVE! Shark and Stingray were not. : ) Bionerds staff are like unicorns because they're so good with children and knowledgeable about their teachings. It takes passion to do this. We cannot wait to attend their Field Trip event and attending future classes/camp! It is not often you get to see real shark and stingray being dissected! It is located right on the corner with First St. & Pacific with plenty of parking in the front. They have classes in different cities, school and do private party, and birthday party.

Our son had a great time in the Little Rascals program as a Kindergartener and continues to express how much he enjoys coming to the Club. He has so many opportunities to engage in different activities, learn new skills and sports, and play with friends. Although some of the program rooms are smaller, there seems to be an adequate variety of options the kids have to chose from to participate in. Our son always comes home telling us about new things he's had the opportunity to do. I will be honest that I had concerns at first regarding my child's safety, as it is not considered a child care center, but rather, an after-school enrichment program (so there are not strict sign-in/ sign-out policies). However, since enrolling, we have had no concerns with safety. The staffing is pretty consistent and therefore becomes very familiar with each child and their needs. We also have continuing conversations with our son regarding safety. Overall, we have been very satisfied with our experience at the Boys and Girls Club Tustin. It is enjoyable for the kids and it is an affordable option for working families.

Our daughter and son have developed so much under Coach Reza, Coach E, Coach Chris and Coach Cliff. Very Professional and responsible coaches and institute. Perfect place to leave your kids to be trained there. I am thankful to be part of this program and big thank you lyceum for giving my kids the opportunity to grow as a player as well!!!! Reza is very accommodating and really cares about teaching the game. His emphasis is always on learning and improving vs winning at all costs. I appreciate that. He cares and supports every kid and makes everyone feel welcome. Very experienced coaches, which helps a lot with upgrading your game and your skills. Thank you Lyceum. I highly recommend it!!

We…read morehave been playing AAU tournaments for 4 years and never have played in a gym with the roof and support beams being so low. The basketball courts were definitely put in as an after thought to maximize the amount of courts for the small location. So many teams, young kids 4th and 5th grade would hit the roof / support beams while shooting. Tournament directors need to beware of the subpar courts with Lyceum Village as there are so many better options like OGP, AIm, The Map, and Momentus which is only a block away.

The two…read morechefs running the party were awesome--funny, super interactive with the kids, and on top of every detail. They handled things I didn't even realize I didn't have to do--like setting up the goodie bags, cutting and serving the cake, packing leftovers--which meant I actually got to relax and enjoy the party. The kids had a blast making their own pizzas and decorating cupcakes, and the fact that the place comes already decorated with birthday banners and permanent balloons made it even easier. Plus, being able to bring in our own food and drinks (including alcohol!) for the adults was a huge bonus. Everyone kept commenting on what a fun and unique party it was. If you're planning to do goodie bags, I recommend ordering aprons on Amazon instead of buying them from the venue--it's cheaper and makes for a cute party favor. Also, I suggest putting a balloon on the directional signs in the shopping center by Dunkin' Donuts so your guests don't get lost, since it's a bit tricky to get there. Highly recommend Lil Chef if you want a fun, stress-free, and memorable birthday party.

If you're looking for a unique, engaging, and (most importantly) stress-free party venue, look no further! The moment we arrived, the staff was fantastic. They were incredibly friendly, professional, and had everything set up perfectly. They managed a group of twenty 9-year-olds with ease, keeping them entertained, focused, and most importantly, safe while they learned to cook. As a parent, the experience was truly seamless. The instructors handled the entire cooking lesson, kept the flow moving, and then--the biggest win of all--they took care of all the messy cleanup! I was able to relax and enjoy the celebration rather than running around managing logistics. The facility is bright, clean, and perfectly equipped for young chefs. This wasn't just a party; it was a fun, hands-on memory the kids won't stop talking about. Lil' Chef School is an absolute gem, and I highly recommend them for any birthday celebration!

Child Creativity Lab takes donated every day items (Lego pieces, empty prescription containers, bottle caps, buttons, wine corks, new popsicle sticks as well as excess items from various companies (excess fabric, plastic bottles, paint, pins, tacks, glue, zippers, etc.) and they put them together in a package so that kids can assemble them them and create a figure like a robot or animal out of all the parts. Before COVID they used to have in house workshops, but now they take the party out to the kids in city community centers, schools, etc. My friend planned a service event here so I came over to help out for a couple of hours. All the parts for the project were laid out at various stations and we went down like an assembly line and filled bags with the items to create a project-in-a-bag for each child. If I was a kid in elementary school receiving a project bag like this to put together with other classmates, I would be totally stoked. If you are interested in donating common household items for them to use, give them a call to see what they do and don't take. You can also arrange to do a service event here with your organization, they have people come in every week to help out. We need more places like this in all communities!
