    amazing race track, second to none, exceptionally maintained. it is old but it is so well maintained to the highest quality. They have events for community that is held here and of course the race horse seasons. Parking is tremendous. Take picture of your space or drive a very tall car or else you could lose sight of where you parked! Restroom facilities are limited though so plan ahead!!!

    Santa Anita Park is a fan favorite for me. This is a perfect place to unwind, relax and have fun for all ages. I remember coming here as a kid. Parking is free on a typical day. Just be ready to walk. On BIG event days I am sure it costs about $12.00 to park . Entry for the races is $10 cash. If you do come here. Do yourself a favor and bring a lunch/snacks/ect. Just no alcohol. Dont worry though. They sell it. I am going to warn you 3 beers were $36.00. They also have table service ordering using a QR code. We sat at a little table close to the ground level. We opened up our program and selected our bets. If you are going to bet you have to visit a kiosk and place your cash in the machine and they spit out a ticket/voucher. That ticket is used to place your bet. I am serious. If you have never bet on horses, I think you should try it. You can turn around $2.00 quick. Dont forget your hat. All the kool kids wear hats.

    From main entrance there's large screens so you don't miss a minute of the activities. Explore the grounds, visit the stables watch the horses circle around before the race. Benches along the pathways. Walk straight thru to get to the field or head up the stairs for box seats. Large outdoor bar seating area. Inside is a long hall and smaller bar areas with kiosks for bidding and helpful staff if you're a newbie. Head through to the other side to view the field. Box seats were easy to navigate. Does require stairs. Full views of the track with in seat order service. Padded seats and ledge tabletop with cubbies to hold your stuffs. You can walk down to watch the races close up on the field. Benches on the lower area. The smoke smell is strong almost everywhere you go. Despite that all the staff were great! Very helpful, approachable and friendly service.

    Came to this place for Mother's Day event. First time at the racetrack when arriving at the park, there was plenty of parking. The park is really big. There is plenty of seating we came on Sunday. Weather was gloomy, but felt great. The race for the day was nine race. Total was really fun. Easy to bet. Stafford was friendly. Drinks were great restaurants available refreshments Cotton candy will definitely be back.

    We decided to come here because they were hosting Japanese Heritage Day, and it was amazing. It was a family event with a live DJ and authentic Japanese drummers. The food was Japanese-style and great. There were many Japanese events around the track that felt like you were actually in Japan, and I have been there myself. I will definitely be returning for more Heritage Days here at Santa Anita Park.

    Always a good time at the race track. They have plenty of food options and drinks. All the horses are fun to watch. Great place for family and friends to hang out.

    Nice day for the races

    We always have a good time at the racetrack. It's usually not too crowded, which is nice when you're trying to make last minute bets. But if you come on opening day be prepared for extremely large crowds and a busy parking lot, other than that there's always plenty of free parking. There's usually dollar apecials on holidays, they occasionally have family/kid friendly days with rides and a variety of themed festivals, including some dog races. The staff is usually friendly and if it's not too busy they'll take the time to explain how the betting works. They have both self help kiosk and in person betting and can bet and watch multiple races from other locations. Entrance fee can vary from the usual $5-10 to free and more for themed festival events.

    Such a classic and fun day at the races! We've been going to Santa Anita for years and it has just as much charm as ever. Since our trips are home on break from college we took them and a couple of their friends to the races. After all, they're 18 now and can bet on their first race! We'd planned to go on Jan 1st but with pending rain we decided to go on the 30th instead and it was a perfect SoCal day! Just walking up you can feel a sense of the history behind Santa Anita. And, as you enter the historic buildings, you're grateful that time hasn't replaced them with more modern and shall I say boring architecture. It's a step back in time to a bygone era but it seems everyone there fits right in. Walking up to the bar, I ordered a Shirley Temple, Roy Rogers and a beer. The bartender happily obliged and we talked about opening day (the prior day) was much busier and that our choice to come today. After placing bets on a couple of races we went in search of lunch. There is a food court area but we figured we'd splurge a little and find the restaurant. The FrontRunner was a little tricky to find but nothing a quick search online couldn't solve for us. We made our way up the front escalator and to the restaurant. It was rather long and only a portion was seated as we went on a Monday. But we were seated right away. At first they were going to put us about three rows back from the front window but I asked if we could squeeze a 7th chair on an open window table and they happily obliged. The service was friendly and attentive and our food was solid. I had a burger and fries and it was as expected - a traditional burger. I also ordered a cocktail, the Baldwin Buck, the official Cocktail of Santa Anita). Not only did we have an excellent view from our table, we got to easily place bets between each race. Our luck was pretty solid with a few decent wins and no major losses. All in all, lots of fun! For the final race we made it downstairs to watch by the front rail and cheer for our faves. That night, inspired from the days events, we watched Seabiscuit and maybe even shed a tear or two. What a wonderful day.

    First time here everybody was super friendly. It was very easy to get around. They had several different food choices. We actually had a carved beef sandwich, which was fantastic and the races were easy. I could not figure out how to use the digital bedding machines, but that's OK. I stood in line and went to a window and everybody was friendly. It was super clean. We had a great time.

    We love horse betting Sundays. The vibes, the company we bring. Today was a Korgi dog event and we saw the race which was the cutest thing ever.

    Went on opening day - was a fun time with a large crowd! Friend's kids were able to check out some horses along side where the paddock is. Lots of beers and snacks to go around. Will be back!

    Great day at the races today. Great atmosphere at usual and smooth process placing my bets. Loved seeing the horses up close at the paddocks.

    I hadn't been to this park in years and finally got yo enjoy opening day. It was a great time. Coming here brought back childhood memories and nostalgia. It's just how I remembered it. It was a crowded day and lines were long for betting and drinks at the bar, but employees were so nice! It had been a while since I betted on horses so I was a little slow when I got to the window , but each time the people who worked there was so patient and helpful. Now I want to go again soon! It's a great family friendly environment and also great to go with friends. Definitely will be back soon!

    Took my wife here to celebrate the Holidays since neither of us had ever gone to Enchant before…read more Needless to say, We probably won't be returning anytime soon. Tickets - $43 x2 - General Admission = $86 $15 x2 - Ice Skating = $30 $25 - Parking $15 x1 - Snow Slide $7 - Service Charge Discounted $8.60 = Promo Code Grand Total = $154.40 -- PROS -- Christmas Lights Maze - It's pretty big, could walk through for an hour or so. Plenty of spots for cute and glamorous photos. They did a pretty good job with the lights, design, and colorway of most of the lights. My wife and I got plenty of photos and we were most excited for the dangling lightbulbs. Very cute overall and certainly the spot most people were at for photos. -- CONS -- Parking was pretty confusing, the only guidance is to enter via gate 3. All other areas are fenced off and you could get lost without any signs pointing towards the correct gate. Lots of improvements could be added to smooth the parking situation. Ice Skating was fun as my wife and I had plenty of cute moments. It's one of the main attractions here at Enchant which attracted a huge crowd. The course itself is pretty cute but it was most certainly overcrowded. Also pretty nice for some photo opportunities. In the lobby of the ice skating rink, you're able to put your shoes and belongings in a open box....which is not really ideal but you have no other choice. There's no security at all for your belongings, very easy for others to just siphon away your shoes, etc. Not very ideal. One frustrating part that we encountered was the snow slide. When purchasing, we bought just 1x QTY as it states, "3 rides per snow slide ticket." So in my mind, it was deciphered as "then both of us can go once and we'll have an extra for whoever wants to go for a extra time." We were very much wrong as it's only for one rider that can go 3 times maximum. I ended up giving the ticket to my wife as I wanted her to enjoy the snow slide. The slide itself last around 10 seconds, and you just drag the seat pillow back up to slide again. Pretty disappointing overall but it should be more clear to avoid confusion like this. -- Consensus -- Overall, some good parts, and many bad parts about Enchant. It was certainly overcrowded on some points of the exhibition, the high ticket prices are certainly a look away. Getting the ticket itself only allows entrance and for the maze. Rest is pretty much paid as a addon to your experience. Although my wife and I had a decent time, I would say that it's worth it if you can afford it, and to experience it once at least. Otherwise, there are other spots that have Holiday lights that are more organized.

    I know this is past due, but I would like to share some thoughts that me and my partner had…read moreencounter during this event from beginning to end: From the time we had arrived to wait in line to get into the entrance of this event was a total of 2.5 hours being stuck in traffic (poor management on management side). By the time we got to the parking payment portion of this line we were advised that there was a huge call out from staffing that created this dilemma. The worst part was that when the supervisor of this event asked management (who btw is not onsite, but is somewhere else remotely) how many staff members can be called in last minute and management did not even think to consider that nor even attempted to call around to fine replacement. That was told to us from the supervisor. After waiting 2.5 hours, they didn't know how to crowd control people who have already purchase parking tickets and those who will be paying for last minute parking. If it was up to me, I would've provided complimentary parking to not disappoint more guests. The event itself was fine, but I will be honest after that experience my vision of the lights didn't see the magic so take that with a grain of salt. There was nothing special for us, we felt it was a waste of money even though we got the gold pass to exclusive date selection. Everything inside the event literally costs extra money if you wanted to to more than just walk around. We probably won't be considering on going back here anytime.

We totally didn't stop by here for a raid ;) Parking: The park has a directional parking lot with the entrance starting near the tennis courts. The exit will take you by the Hugo Reid Primary School. There's plenty of parking but be aware of the sign that cautions against the Foul Ball area closer to the baseball field. If you want to be closer to the play area, there's street parking available that can be accessed from De Anza Pl; just be kind to the residents living nearby. Environment: This place has plenty of amenities. There are 3 tennis courts as well as a baseball field, batting cages (indoor and out), and a play area. The play area is closer to the Primary school and even has handball courts. Occasionally, you might spot some peafowl here too. The parking lot puts you in close proximity to the tennis courts, batting cages, and the baseball field. According to the sign, you'll need to get a permit to use the baseball field. Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. This park is pretty nice. It's well maintained and has lots to keep you entertained. The grass area is huge and you can easily take a nice walk around; too bad there isn't a walking path.

The goal is to use a weapon of your choice (pistol or 2 other rifles) to shoot down 6 targets, if you hit all 6, you win a prize (a medium sized plushie!). It cost $20 for 6 games. One game = 10 shots from your chosen weapon. In other words, you get 10 tries to knock down 6 targets, which I think is rather difficult since a few of the targets are really small. Whether you win or lose, you get a small prize (small plushie).The games can go by pretty quickly because after you shoot your first shot, you immediately want to shoot the other 9. As a person with no airsoft experience, I only hit 2 targets each game. The guns have almost no recoil and the shots aren't that loud, so it's a game that can be casually played with a date or your friends. You don't need to wear goggles or anything either. Overall the experience went by sort of quickly but was quite fun while it lasted.
