    I've been to many arcades, and have never been ripped off so badly. There's a minimum of $5 to load on the card they require for every game, every game is over priced and for $4, you get 1 game of air hockey! There was l$1 left over on the card, I couldn't use it on any game, not even the claw machine that had tiny items of like 1 inch. I ended up giving the card to someone else so they could add theirs. Will not visit again, over priced.

    I recently visited Shoreline Village's Pelican Pier Pavilion. I thought there were ample games to play. I played several of them. The carousel is beautiful.

    If you haven't been here then you have not enjoyed the full shoreline experience. This is a staple for this neighborhood. I love stopping by whenever I'm on the waitlist at the local restaurants in the shoreline village or on a date night stroll through the pier. Prices aren't cheap but they offer plenty options to meet everyone's budget. it's always priceless to make memories with your friends and family. Don't forget to Reload your cards and enjoy some friendly competition.

    This place was great! We went to the Shoreline district with family and just walked around. We came across this arcade and stopped to check it out. 1. Extremely clean: there was even an employee walking around cleaning and disinfecting 2. All the games were functioning: often these places have put-of-service units but not this one 3. Employees were extremely friendly and helpful 4. Open air environment is great 5. Loved all the things they had for toddlers to do 6. Prize selection was very good for all ages Highly recommend

    **GREAT LITTLE DATE ARCADE** I saw so many couples here having fun playing games. I think it's perfect for a date! It looks really bright and fun at night too. It requires you load money on a card... no more coins or Bill's accepted Have fun!

    Dance Dance Revolution! So old school.

    My friend and I stopped by this place because we were at Shoreline Village. We sort of stumbled upon this place. We arrived on a Saturday at 6:30pm. It was half packed, which is nice because it's boring if you're there when it's quiet but you don't want it extremely packed with kids. If you're in your twenties or thirties, this place is like a walk down through memory lane. Many of the games were played in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Dance Dance Revolution!! I use to be a pro at this. My friend and I gave it a shot....it's been over 5 years so we were very rusty but still had a blast. There were newer machines like Deal or No Deal. Also, the typical machines like basketball, skee ball, coin dozer, etc. There is a big merry go round right in the middle and prize station toward the side. The tokens are approximately 4 for $1. Each game is about 2-4 tokens. I played the block game where you stack them in a pile. It was my first time playing and got the major prize! My very first time!! The prize selection here is pretty big. For 1170 tickets ($10 worth), we redeemed a basketball. There were other things like small appliances, toys, stickers, candy, etc. There was nothing special about this place, but if you're dropping by with your family it's a fun place to hang out. I would recommend this place to anyone around the area.

    Really good little arcade. They have almost all the games your kids age 5-14 would want to play, and even fun little skills games you as parents can play. Trust I spent a good $30 bucks trying to beat some of them as lost to the house; Vegas style. Kids had a blast and the all the machines are up to date and the same as you'd find in the malls and Vegas hotels like Excalibur, and Circus Circus. Your best bet on tickets is the spinner style game and most of the skills games obviously. They have good prizes for the kids and right outdoor you can have your kids take a photo with a bunch of cool tropical birds for $25 bucks right outside. The only negative side is the manager needs to hire more people and should never schedule everyone to go on break during peak hours and leave one employee to run it all. All the staffers are great folks though and very nice! Had fun there and will be back

    Large Antique Merry Go Round with some unique horses. Additionally, its an old school arcade with a very friendly staff.

WE GOT DISCOUNT TICKETS AVAILABLE BOTH ON GOLDSTAR & GROUPON. THEY TRANSFORMED THE WHOLE PLACE INTO A 38,000 ICE ADVENTURE PARK THE FIRST IN THE US. WE WENT OPENING NIGHT. YOUR ADMISSION INCLUDES CHILL & THE QUEEN MARY! Parking here is $20.. The lights all aglow at night with the Queen Mary all lighted up in the background is a pretty amazing sight. Some people come here & do Chill & forget that the Queen Mary is all decorated inside as well with Christmas Decorations, & there are exhibits about The Titanic & Princess Diana too. So don't forget to do this also. They also have additional rides & exhibits within Chill that you pay for separately. They have Ice Skating, a 2 Story 145 Foot Matterhorn Mountain Ice Tubing Slide, Amsterdam Bumper Boats, Alpine ZIP Line & other fun activities. The sound system with the DJ spinning classic Christmas Carols & today's favorites as well added a nice touch, & put people in the Christmas Spirit. Santa & other Christmas characters were walking around throughout the park. They had a lot of Entertainment including Chinese acrobats & balancers on the main stage, Aerial Fabric Dancing a la PINK STYLE of Acrobatic DANCING in the Ice Dome, & an Alpine Band all included with your Admission Price. They have holiday traditions featuring 6 different regions from around the globe: including Germany, Holland, Switzerland, Russia,& The North Pole. They had a place where kids could make their own Gingerbread houses you had to pay extra for this activity. They also have an Ice Bar for Adults & a Giant Ice Shuffleboard & Ice Biking. They're trying to hit all the age groups here Kids, Teenagers, Adults etc. They had multiple eateries as well here. They had an outdoor fireplace where you can get warm or you can even rent a private see Through Igloo with furniture - Very Cool! It's open Dec. 13 - Jan. 7th. They even had The World's Largest Rocking Horse & there were Fireworks here on Opening night & every Sunday. It was a lot of fun & way better than previous years. It used to be, you had to have mega bucks & be really rich to have the Good Life, not anymore. The Game has changed. You've been Upgraded. Now You Can Live Like a King on a Limited Budget!

    Aquarium of the Pacific…read more Parking is easy at the nearby Parking Garages. The Aquarium does validate $7.00 off. Since I was going to be there on a Sunday, I reserved an entry time when I bought my ticket. As you enter you see the gift shop on the left and huge Blue Whale suspended from the ceiling. The lower floor is a bit disappointing... everything there seems to focus you to the outdoors portion of the facility. Once outdoors you can begin exploring, including an exhibit on Salmon and Trout, a touch pool for sharks and rays, Lorikeet walk thru enclosure ($5 for some nectar), watch the trainers work with Seals and Sea Lions and a little play area for kids. Upstairs is where the magic happens...coral reefs, jelly fish exhibits, Puffins, Seahorses; Lobsters... amazing exhibits. Well put together. Bathrooms are numerous and clean. Food at the main restaurant (Cafe Scuba) is PRICEY!! Most entrees are in $20+ dollar range. 2nd Floor The Whale Cafe under the Blue Whale on the ground floor offers more reasonable snacks and coffee. The 2 outdoor dining options by the Shark Lagoon offers reasonable grab and go food and snacks and smoothies.

    Bubblemania was so much fun to have at my nephew's 6th birthday…read more They came right on time with all the supplies: kiddy pools, wands of many shapes, and a ton of bubble solution. The kids LOVED it! And it was great for the adults because the kids never left the bubble stations. There were so many different wands and ways to make bubbles. The lady who came did such a nice job. She was very friendly and so sweet to the kids. Any time someone had trouble, she would patiently show them how to make the bubbles. As the activity went on, she introduced other bubble making tools like a rope. Each new item captivated the kids. In particular, a few of the kids were timid at first. I thought the lady was very kind and encouraging. All of the kids warmed up to her and took part with the bubbles. I was happy to see some adults getting in on the fun as well. And even some parents teaming up with the kids to try to make the biggest bubble possible. It was a ton of fun all around. At the end, everything was cleaned up and taken away. It was a very effortless way to have an outdoor activity for kids. Highly recommend!

From the start, scheduling and putting down the deposit was very simple and straightforward. Nat reached out ahead of time to confirm timing, location, and all the details, which made everything feel easy and well organized. During the party, Nat did an amazing job showing the kids how everything worked, demonstrating some seriously impressive bubble skills, and most importantly were incredibly thoughtful about how to engage with each child. Some kids wanted hands-on support, others preferred to jump right in on their own, and Nat handled that balance perfectly. Nat also did a great job keeping the space tidy and ready for the next kid, which made the whole experience feel calm and well run. We received so many compliments from other parents. My 67-year-old dad said it was the best birthday party he's ever been to. Honestly, I don't know how we could have another party at a local park without Bubblemania. Truly incredible and worth every bit.

This guy seemed an amazing deal price was killer and I thought maybe it just didn't have a lot of fossils and it was a lot of reconstruction. Nowhere on that piece or any of the other pieces if you go through their website, does it say replica the only way you find the word replicas if you go to their website the very first time and go as if you're going to try to book an event and then it says Shop our replicas. I was asking a very simple question when I found out it was a replica. I wasn't rude. I said, cancel my order and they jumped down my throat. It was the rudest thing I've ever experienced and I hope no one ever has to deal with them after reading this.

She did not tell me to go online to book. She did say I had to have a $750 minimum since she'd be coming to San Diego, and I was ok paying the extra. Again, no mention to go online to do this while talking. I can't go back to Tuesday the 22nd on my phone to screenshot my log. But I've posted the 2 calls I made to her Wednesday and the call I made on Thursday. I left messages asking for a call back and that we'd spoken. Let's be clear, they were not booked. I've been looking for a Dino encounter type of company for my sons 4th birthday party. After speaking with several companies who were unavailable, this was the only one who was available. I believe her name is Carrie (maybe jeri?) who owns it. When I originally spoke with her before other companies, the first thing I thought was, she doesn't sound very charismatic nor entertaining. When I learned she was one of the "presenters" is when I searched for another company. Unfortunately no one else was available for my date so I called back. I spoke with her Monday about booking and she confirmed availability but said she was in the car and would call me back later to finish booking. Ok, great. She didn't call me back. I called her back Tuesday afternoon and left a message. Same thing Wednesday, I called a few times to follow up and pay. No response. Today, Thursday, I called and got a hold of her. She apparently has booked someone in my spot since we spoke. I am sooo angry. When we hung up Monday, I would have paid if she'd told me how instead said she was driving and we'd handle later. So I assumed we had our spot. When I reminded her of this, she told me I needed to understand she speaks to a lot of people every day and she had car troubles which she had to fix and handle. Quite frankly, I do understand things happen BUT how do you confirm someone else when you already told someone else they had that spot. Im furious but it may be for the best as I can not imagine her type of personality entertaining a bunch of 4 year olds. Terrible way to run your business. Look for a different company!!! I do NOT recommend. If you follow my reviews, I do NOT typically give out 1 star reviews and I'm very fair. But this review deserves it as they completely left me hanging for a party!

    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

We visited again today and admission was good for 2 hours! Honestly after 75 minutes, both kids and mommy and daddy were all soooo tired--in a good way! Perfect time to head out and nap! Given the huge space and the amount of families that go, I'm really glad there's plenty of restrooms and clean at that. Cubbies are provided for shoes and other items. They even have an area for snacking and a small cafe section. There's also a lot of places to sit around for parents to just hang out. Ages 3 and under have their own space to explore. It's safe and clean while our 5yr old runs around the entire place, literally! Today, she got to experience the rock climbing area and she's so happy! I've read a few reviews and some I do agree with. There are rules posted everywhere and they are necessary. Although, some equipments do need permanent repairs versus using a bunch of tapes to hold it together. Nonetheless, we'll be back for more play times and hopefully plan our kids' birthday parties here. Location is great and ample parking.
