Easy to register, quick check-in, kit items were well made, plenty of food trucks, vendors, and free corn hole games. It is an event for everyone. It was a perfect mommy and son outing. We were able to play a few rounds of cornhole, decorate our water latern and then release the laterns. Such a memorable experience for us both! Just remember to bundle up because it gets cold (we even brought blankets). I've been wanting to attend and @ieyelp reminded it was fast approaching (even offered free general admissions)! A must for us next year!

We went a few weekends ago for the School of Rock House Band Fest. Great location and easy to find…read moreout in Temecula. It was a hot weekend but there was plenty of shade at the top of the Ampitheater. This venue is a great place to listen to live music. The sound was great and there was plenty of seating. Check the website because it may vary depending the event but I would suggest bringing a pop up of sorts and some lawn chairs. The bottom half of the Ampitheater is stadium type seating, essentially concrete seats which get very hot with the Temecula heat. If you plan on sitting in those seats I would suggest bringing a seat cushion for comfort as well as protection from burning your bum, and a hat. Overall a really neat venue.

Every summer the City of Temecula hosts free concerts at the Temecula Amphitheater. They call it…read moretheir Summer Sunset Concert Series. This year the concert series runs from June 1st to the last one on July 27th. Gates open at 5pm and the concert starts at 7pm. This is a beautiful outdoor arena located on the grounds of the Temecula Community Recreation Center and next to the Ronald Regan Sports Park. There are several rows of tiered seating with a grassy area which is wide enough to fit a beach chair for comfortable seating. At the top, above the tiered seating levels is a grassy area where you can lay down a blanket and spread out. There is also easy handicap access and seating. No alcohol or pets are allowed. There is lots of parking. These concerts are very popular and fill up quickly. Get there early to grab your spot, bring a picnic dinner, and enjoy the outdoor setting while waiting for the concert to start. The audience is filled with young and old, and a lot of families. There are usually snacks and drinks for sale, but not anything for a full meal. I think last night the vendor was Maui Wowi Hawaiian Coffees and Smoothies. Last night the band was Smokin' Cobras, singing old time rock and roll, a little bit of Johnny Cash, Beach Boys, Swing, and a lot more. Everyone gets into the music and there was a lot of dancing. It was fun, fun, fun! The seats face west and the sun is right in your face until it sets. It does get hot during the summer time. Bring sun glasses, a hat, or an umbrella for shade. Once the sun goes down, the evenings are usually quite nice. Last night was a bit chilly. Temecula is such a great place to live!

The talent is top notch--including local as well as Broadway performers. The venue is intimate and professional. This event is something Temecula should want to hang onto.

In September of 2014 my friend came to visit from out of state and I wanted things to do locally…read morethat would be fun and new. I bought tickets to Cabaret at the Merc The Rat Pack. In the four years since I first saw this program, the only Cabaret at the Merc I missed is one night was when I was sick. This is a stellar program. There are so many things great about it. The talent is fantastic and the producers wonderfully match the music to the vocalists and band. The vocalists come from a variety of places and backgrounds that show the quality of their professionalism. The band is top notch. Leigh, the piano player, is an amazing pianist who adds a tremendous touch to the program. Will, one of the guitar players, will leave you craving for more. Not to play second place, the venue is part of what makes this program so fun. It is a very intimate setting, where there is frequent banter between the audience and the performers. The feel is light-hearted and you can tell the performers truly enjoy participating. The fun of sitting a few feet from extremely talented people and taking in beautiful music is an experience. Each theme presented stands on its own and range from Broadway to rock to soul. Am I over-the-top for this program.....yes!

MAGICAL NIGHT TIME ACTIVITY but... it's too pricey. The online ticket price to get in is about $41…read moreish dollars and all you get is a drawstring, pack of cards and water lantern kit. Note, I could find the kit for under $5 dollars per person on Amazon. You're paying for the opportunity to let your lantern drift into the lake and it's pretty satisfying. Seeing all the lanterns float together and observing everyone's wishes, hopes, challenges, and positive messages posted on the lanterns was inspiring! The staff at check-in was really polite and helpful. There's live music but it's for about 30mins or so, wish it was longer. Also, there's food trucks (stay away from the Salt N Pepper Truck, I wasted most of the festival waiting in line). I wish the staff was monitoring more, there's a lot of people, so I wish they were tending to the guests. I was happy that there was police presence as the sheriff station is nearby to this festival site. There's merchandise at the Festival Shop if you're looking to buy any keepsakes and there's local vendors alongside the Elm Grove Beach sidewalk. The festival here in Lake Elsinore is still growing so lots of kinks are still being worked out. The parking situation is madness. The venue is not good for a festival this size so expect to park on the street and/or walk from several blocks away. Bring a cart to load your chairs. I'll return but I'm definitely bringing my own food next time!

What a wholesome show for the entire family…read more There are no animals or pets; but instead, a group of exceptionally talented performers of every imaginable art. Very hospitable staff. Plenty of friendly greetings and pleasant sales personnel ready to sell you on the flashy lighted kids toys or drink cups. A very pleasant experience. We took our grandkids and they thought it was great. They had never yet been to a circus, and I told them, "Do your grandkids a favor and take them to the circus, they will forever remember it...and you". "Thanks for coming to our town", I told one of the vendors. CritDicks

They had a good variety of places to eat and at the end of the food area was a large restaurant with TVs screens and plenty of tables. It's a first come first serve basis there is also an area that you can reserve for parties and it has a view of the field. If you get to the area early, there are plenty of shops and activities to do such as bowling and a movie theater. Bathrooms are very clean with plenty of stalls. Has any other stadium the food stands get pretty packed so come in and get your food early. I would love to watch another game here probably not during the summer though. We came at the end of May and it was hot.. I want to mention the beautiful memorial structure. They have at the entrance of the stadium to honor Veteran's and all branches of the military.

I didn't notice too many other renovations since last season. It's a very nice facility though. As far as stadiums go, the Diamond is one of the nicest. Sadly, the crowds are light. It's a real shame since it's the first home game. The concession lines are absolutely ridiculous. Nobody wants to wait in an hour and a half line to get food and drinks but they have no choice at this point. Yes, I can order from my seats but that wait is substantial as well. There are two bartenders in the Tap Room. The bar right outside the Tap Room is closed. There just aren't enough employees all around. Why can Storm not get it figured out? This was an issue last year and still persists. It's only the first home game. Why do we keep buying season tickets? Unless something changes drastically, it will be the last season for us. Do better! Your customers deserve more. We didn't pay to waste our time waiting in lines. We paid to watch baseball.

Everything was clean, in great shape and everything seemed to work fine. I can certainly see us coming back as more rooms open up (sounds like they will be opening up to 24 rooms over time). Some of the rooms can be physically challenging so make sure you are in good shape. My only criticisms would be the instructions are somewhat vague. But if you play them a few times, you can pick up the goal. Also the food/drinks were a bit expensive. But I wouldn't be coming here for the food. After speaking with one of the owners, it's a family run business who obviously have a lot of pride in their new concept. Looking forward to visiting again in the future.
