I first heard about Medieval Times because of a YouTube video showcasing unique restaurants. I told…read moremy boyfriend about it, and he was like "I know and I've been to Medieval Times plenty of times in the past." I had no idea it was in SoCal so we got to go here for dinner one night while we were in town during Labor Day weekend. He bought tickets for us online for a Friday night. They have a parking lot with people directing where to park. It was busy with lots of people waiting in line. A great deal of people dressed up! Nice. We didn't dress up. Lol.. I had brought a dress that could work, but I didn't change into it. Inside the dining room, it was freezing! Super cold. I'm glad that I was wearing my jacket, but my boyfriend was feeling pretty cold. I'm not a fan of eating with my hands so I wasn't too thrilled about the eating experience, but... that's why I brought handsanitizer. Plus, they also provided hand wipes as well so that was good. The food... We really liked the chicken. It was tender fall off the bone and flavorful. The other items were pretty good as well. Service was attentive and pretty friendly. We were seating with this group of people who were probably GenZers. They were super enthusiastic and kept "scuba-ing" and yelling absurd phrases. Smh... I enjoyed the experience of seeing the show. The actors and horses were amazing! This is definitely a fun night outing type of place. :)

Review #1010 2026-080…read more The Boardwalk Games & Arcade features different interactive games as well as an arcade with the latest & most popular games. The latter was reimagined in 02/2025 as The Factory Floor Arcade to feature a 1920s factory theme with 70 games & virtual reality attractions: Godzilla & Rilex Coaster. Players can redeem their winnings at the redemption counter that's stocked with prizes. The outdoor area is lined with traditional midway carnival games of skill & chance: 3-Point Challenge, Beach Ball Bust, Boardwalk Hoops, Bonkers, Dune Buggy Dash, Gearhead Knock Down, Hang Time Challenge, Hi-Striker, Ring Toss, Strike Out, Surf's Up, The Guessing Game (Knott's operator either guesses age or weight within a specific margin to win a prize), Woodstock's Birdbath (this is a "winner every time" game), etc. Both require additional fees from park admission. We rarely play at the Boardwalk Games & Arcade unless there's a collectible toy that caught our kids' eye. While it's a couple of dollars, it adds up due to the difficulty level, except Woodstock's Birdbath (but its prizes are less desirable), & the frustration of not winning anything after spending a lot of time & money. A $5 plushie might cost $50 after multiple failed attempts... yikes! We limited our kiddos to $20. One of the handful of times my eldest played, H won a Squishmallow at one of the booths on her 1st try! ^_^ Whoohoo! Recommended: If you're pretty skilled or just damn lucky, I'd say go for it!

Okay so an arcade at a theme park should come with certain expectations, but C'MON!…read more The games here are new and working, which is great, but the PRICE is way too high. If you are here and you are absolutely itching to play at an arcade, it's fine for what it is, but the ticket redemptions and the price per play is a big rip off. In addition, they have claw machines that are all set to such a low rate of winning that it's totally not worth it at all. I wouldn't recommend it. If you are really in an arcade mood, there are plenty of spots outside of the theme park that you can go to.

Reservations are needed for this lovely little garden tucked into the middle of the CSULB campus,…read moreso we made ours the night before and grabbed a 12:00 PM Sunday spot. One thing to know before you go: check the operating hours. The garden was closing at 1:00 that day, so our visit was shorter than we would have liked. About 15 minutes before closing they started rounding everyone up, which was completely understandable, but next time I'd definitely book earlier. We brought Billy's mom and dad with us, and his father is 92 amazing years old, so we're always paying attention to how much walking, stress, parking drama, or general nonsense an outing involves. This one was about as easy as it gets. There's paid parking right next to the garden. I think we paid around $6.50, and the payment system was simple enough. Once you're inside, it's just beautiful. Little bridges, waterfalls, colorful koi everywhere (bonus! tons of baby koi this time!) lilies on the pond, flowers, and these bright red dragonflies flying around that completely caught my attention. There were families, students, people sketching, people feeding the fish, just a really nice mix of people quietly enjoying the space. What I especially like is that you don't have to make a whole production out of it. You can stroll, sit for a while, watch the koi, cross a bridge, look at the water, and just enjoy being somewhere pretty. Small, peaceful, easy, and genuinely lovely. It makes for a really nice family outing, and it's one of those places that's good to keep in your back pocket when you want to do something without committing to an entire day.

Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden is a peaceful hidden gem tucked inside California State…read moreUniversity, Long Beach. I walked into a space that is smaller than some larger Japanese gardens, but the layout feels carefully planned with winding paths, traditional landscaping, a koi pond, waterfalls, bridges, and quiet corners throughout. It is the type of place where taking your time matters more than trying to see everything quickly, and the smaller size actually makes the experience feel more intimate. The garden feels like a world apart from the campus surrounding it, and the transition from the university grounds to the garden is immediate and effective. The koi pond is easily the centerpiece of the garden and one of the most enjoyable parts to spend time around. I found myself lingering by the water, watching the fish move through the pond as the sunlight filtered through the trees. The fish are large and active, and the surrounding greenery, stone features, and water elements create a very relaxing atmosphere. The garden does a good job balancing natural scenery with traditional Japanese design, with each section offering a slightly different view and feeling as I walked through. The bridges and stone lanterns add to the sense of place, and the sound of the waterfalls creates a calming background that stays with you as you move through the space. What I liked most about this garden is how calm it feels despite being located on a college campus. It feels separated from the surrounding area once you enter, making it a nice place for a quiet walk, photography, or just taking a break. The landscaping is well maintained, and the entire space has a slower pace that encourages you to actually stop and appreciate the details rather than rushing through. The garden's design rewards a slow approach, with each turn in the path offering a slightly different perspective on the pond, the plants, and the stonework. The visit is fairly quick since the garden is compact, but it works well as a relaxing stop rather than a destination that takes up an entire afternoon. Reservations are required, so it is worth checking availability before going. Admission is free, although parking is an extra cost and can be the main inconvenience, especially during busy campus hours. The garden's location on campus makes it accessible, but the parking situation can require a bit of patience. Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden is a beautiful spot if you are looking for a peaceful escape rather than a large attraction. The koi pond, thoughtful design, and quiet atmosphere make it a place worth visiting, especially on a nice day when you can take your time walking through the garden. It offers a brief but meaningful pause from the surrounding city and campus life, and the care that has gone into maintaining the space is evident in every corner.

First time at the Pirates Dinner Adventure. Saw coupon deals on this through Groupon, so why not?…read moreI've been to Medieval Times as a kid, but never been to the Pirate show until now as an adult. You'll have to call in to let them know that you have a Groupon deal. Went for the last showing of the night so we could enjoy more of the evening and not feel like we would be hurried out for the next group. Upon arrival, the parking lot was full, both the one on top and bottom. Tried the street, but it was permit parking only. Noticed some Porto's customers were parking in this lot as well. I thought it was a paid to park lot. There are some parking spots, but everyone double parks over the line, so each parking space was a tight squeeze, we had no choice, but to squeeze in. When you check in at the window they will print your receipt for your booking and charge you $8 parking on their lot. Honestly there's no one checking the lot, but it's out first time, so we do. Paid extra and bought an upgraded ticket, so we're guaranteed a good seat and it came with a headband, beaded necklace and discount on their photo package. Once you enter you get your photos taken and then you are ushered to the giftshop or bar area. By the way the giftshop area is where you will enter the stage/dining area. Who knew?!?! Luckily there are people who will take you to your seat so you're not lost. You are seated by team colors. The server there, Darla, was really nice. She got our drinks, and meals in the timely basis. The only thing that took a while when you're at your seat was the appetizer and bar drinks. The appetizer was another server; the onion rings was not great, pretty soggy. The bar drink person took the longest. Was half way into the main entree when that server came to get the order. I would have liked towards the beginning after being seated to enjoy. Plus it was very stuffy and hot. Mind you the alcoholic drinks were expensive at $21 each, but you get to keep your souvenir glass. You're not here for the food, but rather the show. Food is not bad, it's like a quarter of a rotisserie chicken with boiled veggies, mashed potatoes, salad, and a slice of cake at the end. It's very kid friendly and entertaining with acrobats, singing, and sword fighting. Depending on your team color you cheer on for your pirate color. Go team orange! It's almost a 2 hour experience with dining and show. Overall if you just go once in your life, it's enough. It's a novelty.

It's been a while since I have been to Pirates Dinner Adventure and although the show was good, the…read morefood was very underwhelming. My family and I decide to take a trip to Buena Park through the offer from Groupon (2 kids two adults) equaling 197. It wasn't a cheap lunch, but we thought let's try it and get out of the house. We arrived 90 minutes before the showing at 1:30 and the place was empty. We went inside thinking there would be music, actors outside taking and pictures and it was completely opposite of that. I'm used to medieval times where the king and queen are out, there's music pumpin and everyone is rooting for their color, pirates is different. In the gift shop it's quiet, no music, nothing has a price, and the workers are walking around like hawks trying to make you buy something or just watch out for stealing. There's really no entertainment at this point. The doors to the arena actually open around 30 minutes before the show and that's where you get to take pictures interact with the pirates (be aware they come off as rude but that's their shtick-they are pirates! The arena is dark and cool, and everywhere is a good seat. The show started right on time but before that we had Mac N cheese balls which were just ok, 11 dollars for 8 deep fried Mac n cheese balls. Oh and check this out, your meal doesn't include soda..they offer you water with your meal and if you want soda it's 4 dollars a cup or 9 dollars a pitcher, that's insane! The show was interactive, the actors were great but the main course (chicken, mash potatoes and vegetables) tasted horrible! The veggies smelled like a fish tank, undercooked and under seasoned, and the mash had no flavor. My kids didn't like it, and neither did my wife and I. For 50 dollars a person it was not worth the price! The arena unfortunately was empty! There are about 150-200 seats and there was probably around 50-60 people total, it was sad. These performers are great, but the storyline is weak, and hard to listen to because of the audio. Visually they got it, but audio needs to be more clear. I gave the show as a whole 3 stars because it's a one time thing for us. The kids were so happy to be apart of the show as they pull them up onto the ship and let them act along but what really ruined it for me was the food. Toward the end they served dessert which was a chocolate brownie with sprinkles which tasted like it was out of a box and it was super messy! I know they have Vampirates right now but I'm sure the food is the same...underwhelming for the price. Memorable moments, but they can do better!

And this takes the cake as my all time favorite. The courses have great holes, with a large variety of simple classic style holes. But the place really shines in decor and atmosphere. It really leans into a more vintage vibe, considering this place is nearly 60 years old the grounds are immaculate, which is unheard of anywhere near LA. Amazing buildings and hedge arches dot the real turfed landscape. Vintage music plays out of old megaphones. Did I mention the place is massive? The parking lot holds maybe 400 cars, but expect it to be nearly full. It has vintage bumper boats, an arcade and 4 18 hole courses. Pricing is fair, 16.50 a person, and parking prices can vary but are usually free. Whoever maintains the grounds needs a serious raise, everything here is just perfect! COME AT NIGHT. This place really shines at night, when everything is lit up it is truly magical. One of the best in the nation, don't miss.

There were a few signs of aging around some of the cups and on some of the putting surfaces, but it is to be expected. I really wanted to score a 4.5, but gave it the full five because the mini-golf courses were so well-maintained. (Since we were there for a benefit and didn't pay admission, I cannot comment on the pricing or the relative value.)
