I wrote this review mainly for the FIFA World Cup Fan Zone event at Whittiers Narrow Park today…read more I'm so glad I had the opportunity to attend the Official FIFA World Cup Los Angeles 2026 Fan Zone today! They had a giant 21' × 37' LED screen for the live viewing of today's match between Spain and Belgium , creating an incredible atmosphere for all the fans. The Fan Zone also featured cultural activities, live performances, DJs, interactive fan experiences, a community marketplace, and delicious local food. Best of all, I met fellow World Cup and soccer fans from different places, making the experience even more memorable. What an amazing day celebrating the beautiful game! We reserved our tickets on Eventbrite but we got there early with my friend, and even though we waited in line for more than an hour to get in, it was totally worth it! We were able to get in before it became too crowded. My friend also found us a great spot in the shade, so we stayed cool and comfortable with a nice breeze throughout the day. Meanwhile, many people who arrived later couldn't find any shade and had to sit out on the grass under the hot sun. We also received some awesome FIFA World Cup Fan Zone goodies, including a commemorative bracelet and a special team poncho. Such great souvenirs to remember this amazing experience! Only one con, they only have porta-potties, and they were very dirty. They still have the FIFA World Cup Fan Zone tomorrow starting from 12:30-9pm. I couldn't believe we were there for 5 hours. Congrats Spain advanced to semi-finals.

This is for across the street where they have the baseball and soccer field along with the BMX…read more Today is so not the day for me to get irritated by this place. I'm in pain, having trouble walking and have a headache. Its's sketchy here. I'm more mad about the parking situation. I've been coming here for a long time and they keep charging me the wrong price. I have all these colorful tickets and some white ones. White ones are for handicapped and Senior. Colored ones are for regular people. They just can't seem to get it right and of course they do not refund the price difference but they keep making the same mistake. At this point, I think it's on purpose. The people in the white trucks are also annoying I don't know how many times they've come and sat in front of me. I thought it was maintenance, but I was told the office people who use the white trucks. Are they after a peep show? This park isn't always crowded it's usually pretty empty except for some weekends when they have games. So there's no reason for you to sit in front of a person with your car running being a lookaloo. Do you see my problem? With all these sketchy things that I see going on here you have really other better things to do than to sit in front of me. You should be harassing people who are on foot and on bike scouting the parking lot for an opportunity to steal something else. Or how about when they're harassing someone. Twice I've had an issue here with those people on foot and on bikes trying to steal. Where were you then? Where were you when my phone was stolen out of the front seat of my car? Where were you when the guy on the bike tried to steal my stroller? Where were you when someone tried to solicit me? My point is, if your trying to catch someone committing a crime, go do it. You don't need to be watching me watch a webinar, you're sure not protecting me from anything or anyone. What you can do is try and fix that water fountain that's been on for weeks. I still see the cones around it and tape but the water still running and it hasn't been fixed it's been running all summer. Probably either before then.

There's plenty of parking just come early to not walk so far…read moreYou pay via QR code upon entry To get to the location it's about a 5 to 15 minute walk it's depending on where you parked The location is easy to find just follow all the food trucks and vendors The check-in process was extremely smooth. Everyone was so happy and welcoming. I recommend to get there earliest so you can get a good spot so you can overlook the water The music could have been a little bit louder because it was hard to hear But the live performers were awesome I wish there was more interactive activities. I feel like everyone was just sitting around, waiting to launch their lanterns, but it was still a beautiful experience. I will most definitely go again next year

The best part of the Water Lantern Festival was spending quality time with my wife and…read morestepdaughter. Decorating our lanterns, enjoying the atmosphere, and watching the lanterns on the water together made for a great family memory. That part was awesome. But everything else? Not so much. Parking was excruciatingly bad. There were only about three people directing cars at the entrance, so it took forever just to get in and park. If you arrive early, you end up parking farthest away from the actual event and have a long walk. Getting out after the event was even worse. With basically one exit, traffic barely moved. We were stuck about an hour just to get out. RIDICULOUS. My advice: park outside the park if possible and walk in. The food situation wasn't much better. They had plenty of food trucks, but everything was overly expensive, the lines were long, and you're looking at around a 30-minute wait for food. Another tip: bring your own food and drinks. You'll save money and a lot of time. Overall, the lantern experience itself and the quality time with my family were memorable. I'm glad we experienced it together. But the parking situation, traffic control, expensive food, and long waits really brought the overall experience down.

It pretty much is the exact same exhibits as Nights of the Jack up in Calabasas, which I did the…read moreprevious weekend. The thing that South Coast lacks is a giant coordinated light show at the end like Calabasas has however there are a bit more lights (especially pumpkins) and food vendors at this version. It's basically a bigger version of the one up in Calabasas. This season I went to Carved, Nights of the Jack, and Magic of the Jack and I would definitely say that Carved was my favorite of the three. This Magic of the Jack version is extremely kid oriented and honestly it was so crowded with families and screaming kids and people pulling wagons zig zagging in the only pathway that it made it hard to enjoy. I think even for preteens this would be a little bit too kid oriented. The parking situation was also pretty annoying. You can pay for premium parking, however, that was not available when we got our tickets so we had to do regular parking. For this you park in a lot a couple miles away and then wait to be shuttled in and out. When the bus finally arrived to take us to the event, the attendant told us to hop on that we would be the last two but there was only one seat available, so I had to stand during the entire drive over. I think basic counting should be required to do loading and unloading of the buses. There are a lot of food vendors with some pretty good options however, the pricing is really high and you already are spending $50 a ticket so this trip out could be very expensive if you opt for every purchase option. It also was a bit of a walk up and down hills, so it wasn't as enjoyable of an experience as I was hoping. I would definitely skip unless you have children under 10 who don't have any mobility or behavioral issues.

Umm.... what the actual F..... Other reviews have me…read morequestioning what they're reviewing. Not scary at all, food was not good at all. A total waste of plastic. Be sure to come 1 hr. Early. It literally took us 1 hr making line to get in. The scare actors have minimal to no enthusiasm. You drive around the lake at 3MPH going from tent to tent getting a tray of not the best food. Scare: 1-10 : 0 Food: 1-10: 0 Actors 1-10: 0 enthusiasm 1hr wait to get in 50-55 min drive thru event Basically drive tent to tent picking up food, and getting cold mini patty which is just Hawaiian bread with a thin slice of cold meat. Mack & cheese .... just disgusting

Bite LA had a lot of good moments and interactions with the creatures but overall was disorganized…read more I was disappointed in the wait time and the car decorating contest. (I never saw where they announced winners or even considered our car and no one else seemed to participate.) The food was fine. We like that they had gluten free and vegan options. They ran out of the dessert I wanted a d water at the last station. I really enjoyed the monster hunt. I loved the sets at each food station. I liked the covid safety measures. I enjoyed the creatures distributing the food. We were disappointed in the campfire setup. We wanted to hear ghost stories but we were so tired since we were already there for hours and then there were commercials and a scooby doo cartoon but no ghost stories. We are coming back for the holiday event but I don't think I'll bother making a sweater for the car. I hope it's more organized this time and they let us know ahead of time if they are out of foods so we don't find out at the end. I look forward to seeing the sets and actors again!

Dear Pico Rivera Sports Arena Management,…read more I am writing to share a complaint regarding an interaction I had with an employee during the "Feria Nayarita" event on Sunday, August 2, 2026. The incident took place in the men's restroom near the main entrance. It was over 90 degrees outside, and after spending time dancing, I was sweating and decided to go into the restroom to clean up. In that restroom, there was an employee selling cigarettes, gum, and other items. As I was washing my face at the hand-washing sink, the employee saw me and made the following comment, which I remember clearly and quote exactly: "PUTA MADRE, THEY SHOULD GO HOME AND SHOWER". I personally found this comment inappropriate, unnecessary, and out of place. I was simply using the restroom and washing my face because of the heat and physical activity. I understand that employees may encounter many different situations during an event, but I believe guests should be treated with professionalism and respect. I want to emphasize that, aside from this incident, we had an amazing time at Feria Nayarita. The food, drinks, music, and overall atmosphere were incredible, and we genuinely enjoyed the event. Unfortunately, this interaction with the employee left a negative impression and was disappointing given how enjoyable the rest of our experience was. I am bringing this to management's attention because I believe it is important that employees representing Pico Rivera Sports Arena maintain a professional and respectful attitude toward guests. I would appreciate it if this incident could be addressed appropriately. Thank you for taking the time to read my complaint. I hope this feedback helps ensure that future guests have a completely positive experience at your venue. On another note, I called the property and left several messages. As of today no one bothered to call me back. This is why I decided to give you guys this review. Sincerely, Marcos

A MUST DO! This Event is really only a 4 & 1/3 STARS but because of the Coronavirus I have to bump…read moreit up to 5 Stars. A week ago people were dousing themselves & others with a myriad of colors welcoming in the Spring with this Classic Indian Tradition @ Hali The Festival of Colors in Whittier Narrows. It was a technicolor display of Emerald Green, Cobalt Blue, Sunshine Yellow, Jellybean Pink,& Magnificent Magenta. Participants were wearing masks on their faces to protect themselves from getting colors on their face. It was a happy & joyous time in LA March 7 & 8, 2020. Now people are wearing the exact same masks a week later March 15 2020 & beyond to protect themselves from Coronavirus. The same masks in a week means 2 completely different things. Happiness & Joy to Coronavirus & Pandemic. From Freedom to do whatever you wanted & Ringing in the Springtime with an Indian Tradition to lockdowns & closures of all people's social activities. In addition all dining activities have been turned into Take Out & Delivery Only. UNBELIEVABLE! You could never write this script or put it in a movie because people would never believe it. They would say it's Fake News unless I had the Pictures. Well I do have the pictures. It's just seems Surreal & an Incredibly Awful Nightmare that people want ended. Please take me back!!! They had Discounted price Tickets for this event with codes that you could use on their website. It was so much fun dancing & throwing the multi colors in the air & Yoga & all the other activities. We were all having so much with the Music & Dancing etc. They had several different price packages from just admission only, or you could buy a package with the 5 colors. The package with Admission & the 5 colors was The Most Fun. They would throw the colors in the air every hour & they would land on yourself & everyone else. They also had Food Trucks & assorted Merch booths you could buy T Shirts, books etc. If you missed it mark it in your calendar for next year. They also have another Holi Festival in the San Fernando Valley. Hopefully they can find a vaccine or cure soon & stop people from dying. Hopefully things can return to normal in a short time & everyone can be thankful & really enjoy this festival next year. 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!
