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.

I enjoyed stopping by this farm. The animals are well take care of and sure do eat pretty well. You…read moreare allowed to bring in food to feed them and they have a sign up of what you can not feed them. So nice this is available to the public!

Before we knew it they had our room ready! Our area was nice and our server was attentive. My son had tater tots & it was ok, we order some kind of blue drink it was yum and waters. We don't play golf but this was definitely a fun way to start off. All that matters is that we had fun and left happy!

Visiting Topgolf has become a regular part of our trips to Arizona to see my parents, and it's easy to see why. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, perfect for a group outing or a casual night out. The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure everything runs smoothly. The bays are comfortable and spacious, and we love having a variety of games to choose from--there's something for everyone, whether you're a seasoned golfer or just there for laughs. The food and drinks are an added bonus; we enjoyed snacking between swings and sipping on our favorites. Overall, it's a fantastic tradition for us, and we always leave feeling happy and relaxed. Topgolf Gilbert is definitely a spot we'll keep returning to whenever we're in Arizona!

This may sound like a bum deal, but it was actually a blast! We had the whole place to ourselves, which is arguably way more fun than going when it's packed.

If you had a bad experience playing when there are a ton of people, try going on a weeknight. It might change your mind!

Can't complain too much since it's only $15 to add a rental package online ($18 in-person, which is annoying). How about raise it to $20 flat and get some new gear that works reliably = 2 stars The Pro Shop has a good selection of guns and accessories at fair prices compared to online Airsoft retailers. The knowledge of the salespeople however, isn't as good. I get better answers from AI on my phone while standing at the counter. The online reservation system is AWFUL!!! The website is difficult to navigate unless you read by picture. Looks more like multiple flyers glued to a screen that have hidden links in some, but not others. When you select a date, time, and location you end up with the right date and location, but varying times. I booked for 2 people for the 12pm - 4pm session and ended up with one at 12pm and the other @ 4:30pm. = 1 star The staff is friendly and generally helpful in getting issues worked out. That definitely helps, but with all of the online reservation stuff that has to be un-FUBARed, it takes away from the experience and play time. I'm not a web designer, but with most people using technology to purchase goods, services, and experiences, you'd think they'd do some market research to gather feedback on how to build a user-friendly website. We haven't tried any of the other Airsoft locations in Phoenix, but after our three (3) past experiences, I'm ready to move on from VIP Airsoft. It kinda sucks, because this place is close to our house and easy to get to.

This climbing facility is amazing! My husband and I brought our climbing gear with us on a recent…read moretrip to AZ, and we decided to check out Alta. We spent a few hours here, but truthfully could have stayed all day! A couple of climbing newbies tagged along with us, and the Alta team did a great job with orientation. We were also able to quickly get belay certified, which unlocked the entirety of the gym! I was so blown away by how many routes they had available - we barely scratched the surface. The auto-belay kid-friendly area was so cool as well  - I love that they're going out of their way to make climbing fun and accessible for folks of all ages. My cousin and younger sister really enjoyed the theming - they said they felt like superheroes scaling a building to save someone! Everything was clean and well-maintained, and since we visited at a slower time, we had our choice of routes the entire time! I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area, and I highly recommend Alta to new and experienced climbers alike!

I'm very disappointed with the inconsistency and lack of customer service I experienced over two…read morevisits. On our first visit, I dropped off my 12-year-old daughter to climb with a friend who is in a league at Alta Climbing. During that session, my daughter texted me saying staff told her she needed to sign a waiver and repeatedly suggested she "just say you are 14." Encouraging a minor to lie on a legal waiver is completely inappropriate. She did not lie, and I picked her up without issue. I assumed that if we returned, I would sign whatever waiver was needed. Because she loved climbing, we came back the following weekend. This time, we were initially told the friend could use a friend pass again. Then another associate, Shelley, who turned out to be the manager, told me I needed to purchase a membership. There was no explanation of what the membership includes, no tour, and no effort to orient me as a new customer. The only thing emphasized was making sure her name was listed on the form, which is why it stood out. She paused me mid-signature to remind me to add her name, then walked away while I continued filling out a form I was later told I did not need. She eventually called out from the counter that I should stop completing it. After paying $148, I prepared to leave like I had the previous week and was then told I could not leave and needed to return to the iPads to sign another waiver in order to stay. This was never explained upfront. I was also told I needed to take a class to help clip the kids into the climb, which again contradicted what had been allowed just one week earlier. At that point, I had paid, had no clear understanding of what my membership actually includes, and was told I had to stay, yet no one explained where I should be or what I was expected to do. I understand safety rules and waivers. What I don't understand is the inconsistent execution, lack of transparency, and absence of basic customer service. All of this could have been avoided with clear, upfront communication. This should have been a rewarding and exciting experience for my daughter. Instead, she picked up on the poor customer experience and ended up apologizing to me, which was the opposite of what I wanted for her. My daughter enjoys climbing, and I will likely keep the membership simply because there are no other comparable options nearby. However, the lack of customer service and questionable integrity around policy enforcement makes me uncomfortable with how seriously this gym takes customer safety and experience.

A very nice rink in Gilbert, Arizona. 2 sheets of ice, a great bar (normal bar food, drinks, lots…read moreof TV's, and outside patio (covered with sun sails), a market (coffee, breakfast sandwiches, water and gatorades, etc.) and a Pure Hockey store inside. I didn't interact with any of the staff, but the facility was fairly clean and welcoming. The bathrooms were as to be expected for a hockey rink serving youth hockey (in my case, a HS Varsity team). Parking was ample, with lots to the left, right, and right in front. There are also soccer and baseball games going on around the facility on the weekends, so many parents, kiddos, and cars around. Top tip... avoid parking right in front, as all of the parents were standing in the sunshine one the games ended to defrost (the South Pole rink was FREEZING!!!). The North Pole rink wasn't as cold and also provided a seating are outside of the rink with big windows and picnic tables.

I've been here several times to watch my nephew's youth hockey team play games and skate with him…read moreduring stick time so I have to share my observations. The Good: The rink does have a nice snack spot, and a full bar. Super nice lady (Sandy) that I talked to while getting my food in the smaller snack bar. There's a Pure Hockey here that, despite being small, is very well-equipped with helpful and knowledgeable staff. I bought a pair of skates from them and they made sure I got a great fit. The Bad: The ice is in pretty rough shape, especially on the south side rink, it's clear that they don't properly flood or cut it in between sessions. Parents let their kids run around like feral animals, yelling and screaming, climbing on things, and no one seems to care and the employees certainly don't do anything about it. One of the worst parts about the rink is the bathrooms. I can't speak for the ladies, but the men's room is absolutely disgusting. There's always at least one urinal that's "out of service" and the last couple of times I've been (over the past two months) only one of the three sinks has worked. Half the time there's a 1/4 inch of some liquid on the floor, not sure if it's piss or water or what, but it's nasty as hell. Whoever runs this rink is a joke, I've looked into how much you charge for ice time and you clearly aren't investing a single dime into any improvements or even basic maintenance. Get your sh!t together and fix the bathrooms, clean the place once in a while, and invest a little money into making the ice better!

On a late afternoon weekday there were quite a few young people upstairs using weights. They don't have the latest machines but they do the job. They also have a 1/12 of a mile track that is adequate for walking or short distances. There's racquetball and Basketball courts that are also for volleyball and pickleball. In the middle is a small climbing wall that is often busy. There's also ping pong and Foosball tables. They also offer Classes like zumba and yoga; the yoga class was okay but the instructor could have been friendlier to everyone, not just certain people. They have reasonable prices compared to regular gyms and offer resident and nonresident daily passes. Staff was very friendly. Too bad there's no pool!

I planned a date activity at Social Axe Throwing for my husband's birthday. Neither of us had ever…read moretried axe throwing before, so we had no idea what to expect...but we ended up having a blast! It was such a fun and unique experience. We arrived on a Tuesday shortly after they opened around 4:15 PM, and we were the only ones there, which worked out perfectly. This may have been why the manager gave us extra attention, showed us how to throw properly, and guided us through three different games. That personal touch really made the experience even better. For two people, I felt that one hour was a good amount of time--though we definitely could've stayed two hours at least if we didn't have other plans. Pricing for one hour is $54, which feels a bit steep, but I was able to snag a deal for $27, which was much more reasonable for a one-hour activity. They also had about five arcade machines set up with free play, so you could easily spend more time there either before or after your axe-throwing session. I didn't realize until after we arrived that they offer food and drinks too...next time, I'd plan for lunch or dinner along with the activity. This place would be great for a team-building event or a group date night. Axe throwing is a bit harder than it looks, but definitely a lot of fun. We enjoyed the different game options, like tic tac toe that made it even more fun. One thing I didn't love: when you arrive, they ask for a credit card to keep on file in case you order food or drinks. Then when we finished and hadn't purchased anything extra, we were asked if we wanted to leave a tip. I found that a little awkward. While the manager was super friendly and helpful (possibly because it was empty--or maybe that's just how they treat all first-timers), I think there should be a better, more subtle way to encourage tipping without putting guests on the spot. I did not let this impact my review.
