Someone in the reviews before me compared it to visiting a friends house with a sick play room and it's exactly that! They have everything he could ever need to stay busy for 2 hours. We were also fortunate enough to come on a day when the Bixby Knolls music teachers came to sing. What a fun interactive experience for him. I'll be back again! 10/10 for us!! Thank you Ms Maggie for the warm welcome :)

We had such a great experience at Coastal Kids Playspace! We celebrated our youngest daughter's…read morefirst birthday there, and the space made the entire event so fun and stress free for our family. The playspace was adorable, clean, and gave the kids plenty of room to run around, play, and get completely tired out Maggie was incredibly quick and helpful with all of our emails and correspondence leading up to the event. Anna was also wonderful the day of the party, helping with setup and takedown and making everything run smoothly. Our daughters (ages four and one) had an amazing time climbing, sliding, and exploring all the different play areas and playsets. It was such a fun experience watching them interact with everything. We'll gladly be back for future events!

It's right off of Carson Street across the street from the Town Center more so across from Sam's Club. It is hidden and it's a perfect hidden gem for little ones. It seems that you are able to have picnics and parties here of course with reservations ahead of time. The animals and the petting zoo were so sweet and the staff was very friendly. The highlight of the trip was the pony rides.

I smell like a barnyard? Of course, because I was feeding goats & sheep at Barnyard Buddies…read more For $6 admission (at the time)(Groupon deals, as well), visitors to Barnyard Buddies can feed goats & sheep, and pet various animals. Buying a medium sized container of feed was more than enough, IMHO. Visitors are required to feed only the goats & sheep from the other side of the enclosure. Without feed, visitors can enter the closure & pet/brush the animals. Besides the goats & sheep, there are 2 pigs, chickens, and in a separate enclosure, emus & a cow. No access allowed to those, however. Pony rides are an option for little kids. The ride is around an oval track. There is also a playground area to burn up some energy. A few handwashing stations on premises to stay hygienic during your visit. Barnyard Buddies is an accessible nearby barnyard experience. I was lucky enough to grow up around chickens, so I'm not new to livestock. It's my firm belief kids should be around animals, and know where their food comes from, whether it be eggs, milk and/or meat. While not a place I'd recommend traveling large distances to visit, for those nearby or whom happen to be in the area, Barnyard Buddies is a wonderful opportunity to feed enthusiastically hungry goats & sheep, and brush plump piggies. Highly recommend!

oooh we loved this place! I wanted a fun activity that my daughter and I can have, with no food…read moreinvolved for once haha! We booked our table and date/time on their website- soper easy process. We visited on a sunday afternoon and the place was Packed- in a good way. groups of friends, couples on a date, a whole family...it felt appropriate for all. I never spent a whole 2 hours painting what we chose. lot sof colors to choose from and instructions were simple, clear and shared at the beginning. It was a great time with no phone in hand, focusing on painting and micing colors...so relaxing. At the end we leave our masterpeices there, and they text us once they are dry and ready for pick up. This is an activity that we can go and do again and again, everytime can be a different experience and outcome. Booking there again, maybe for a playdate for my daughter and her best freind. One thing I do hope this place offers in the future, it is for the instructions to include more info about all the bells and whistles we can ask for as we paint...we learned about all the gadgets and tools by observing others, maybe like a little brochure or cute menu.

Really fun and cool experience! I like that they have a lot of items available (figures,…read moredinnerware, decorations). Just be warned basically EVERYTHING is above $30 alongside the studio fee of ~ $15. Depending on what you go with, it's definitely good to have an idea of what you want to do (design or color wise) before you go, so it doesn't eat into your limited time. I like that they have examples of how the paint will look before and after firing, alongside brightness/layer (on the wall). I picked something practical and that I can actually use to eat:) It took about 10 days to be done so we could pick up.

My kids have enjoyed coming here. We've come 4 or 5 times. I like that it has a lot for my 4 yr old…read moreAND my 19 month old. The kids played for 2 hours straight and didn't want to leave. Pricing isn't crazy but it's not cheap either. Since it's a place geared towards kids, I'd love to see the bathrooms be a little more kid friendly with a step stool for washing hands.

Kids love this place…read more You only get 2 hours of playtime. I think you can pay for another session to extend it. We've thrown birthday parties here. The rooms are pretty expensive and they're strict about headcount. The place itself is loud. Very overstimulating. But the kids love it and the music is usually tailored for the parents but still appropriate. There is a small snack bar in the back. They have a plethora of options. Lots of drink options, ice cream & dipping dots, frozen bananas, chips, pocky, even some locally made flan. No shoes are allowed. Everyone must wear socks. If you need to use the restroom in the back, you have two options, walk in with just your socks on or use their complimentary slippers. They do have a rock climbing option towards the back but it's not always open. Again, kids love it so be prepared to watch the kids go down the slide and to say "wooooow" to very unwow things lol

I haven't been here since I was a child, but I was passing through the area and decided to make the…read morestop with my kids. It's everything I remember. Warmer water, no waves, a perfect place to learn how to use most any type of SUP, and it's just a welcoming atmosphere overall. Today the water was nice and clean, but because it is in the bay the water quality can change depending as it's not flowing like a regular beach. The sand is also kinda different and sticky here, I'm sure it's brought in from around the corner, but it just seems kinda different here. Also, it's LB so be prepared to fight for your life for parking depending on the day and time. In all though it's a nice hidden gem. :)

The "renovation" of Mother's Beach Playground was very disappointing. Instead of actually improving…read morethe playground, the swings were simply removed and never replaced. If the swings were considered unsafe, why were they removed instead of repaired or replaced with new ones? At the same time, there are still loose or missing bolts on some play features and open gaps on the elevated structures where a child could potentially fall. If safety is truly the priority, why were those issues left unaddressed? Now the playground offers much less for young children. Kids can't spend the whole time using only the slides. The swings were one of the best parts of this playground, and many local families came here specifically because of them. Please explain why the swings were removed and consider bringing them back. This playground was never truly renovated--it feels like the only major change was taking the swings away.

This is a fun little arcade located at Shoreline Village. We had some time to kill before dinner so…read morewe spent a little time here. It is kind of a miniature Dave and Busters with a lot of mechanical type games, some video games, and a big carousel in the middle. We played some air hockey, skeet ball, and a few "drop the claw to grab a prize" games. One of the staff members was restocking an identical machine that we were playing next to us and he gave us a wink and said he'd leave a few items in an easy position which was nice of him. Of course we took advantage of his kindness and nabbed a few small stuffed animals. To play the games, you put cash or a credit card into the token machine and get a plastic token card to use with the various games. I just put in $20 and it was a fun way to kill 20 minutes.

The arcade is huge my kids loved it games are affordable diffidently will be back soonread more

We had such a great family day at El Dorado Frontier in Long Beach!…read more It's tucked inside the park, but once you're in, there's so much to do -- totally worth the visit. My girls' favorite was Panning for Goldie's Treasures -- it was only $12 for 6 tickets, and they spent the most time there, searching for gold and little gems The staff was incredibly friendly and patient, answering every question with a smile. That made the whole experience even better We also brought our scooters and picnic, and ended up staying the whole day Everything felt safe, clean, and super family-friendly.

My sister was visiting from Australia, my mom lives in Whittier and we are in Redondo beach. We all drove to Long Beach excited. Our grand total was $440.00 We got there at 3 pm and our instructor Katie didn't even introduce herself. She had run out of sugar for the scrubs and essential Oils, her essential oils were so cheap and watered down. The ass ended at 3:32 PM. So we were shorted 58 minutes. She didn't even have proper containers for us and used tape to hold our scrub together, which we warmed her it won't hold and she disregarded our concerns. The scrub ended up leaking all over our car. We complained via email to Shelly the owner , who offers us a make up class. We advised her logistically it would be too hard to get everyone together And asked for a refund . She refused and gave us back $120 which in my opinion is a joke. We had asked for 50% minimum. Our whole evening was ruined because of this horrible company. There are so many other better businesses please do not give your money to this establishment. I wish we had been warned and should have realized when after 4 years of being open they only had 15 reviews on yelp. Save yourself the time, money and hassle
