I would easily go on the ferris wheel again, even better, at night time would be cool! Let's go!

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.

Gift shop was too pricey for my budget as well. Don't plan on going back. Will prefer to drive up to Monterey bay Aquarium.

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.

The space we rented was clean and exactly as they described. our party had an amazing time. We followed the guidelines and rules and had zero issues This facility is great for parties and just to drop in and enjoy. I think they do a great job of ensuring guest safety. I appreciate that they understand that people are driving and have rules in place to protect patrons. we had over 80 guests that all left happy and said they had never been Togo Kart World despite being Southbay residents. All of the kids had a blast and the parents agreed we would be making another visit very soon. I would give them 10 stars if I could. management is super responsive. They are attentive and provide an unforgettable experience.

Secondly, they didn't have any console games like Galaga, Pac-Man, or any old school games. We played a mini-bowling game and the lane only have 9 pins, so if you knocked down all of the pins, you couldn't get a strike or a spare. That should have been shutdown with the other games that didn't work. The place is dark and dingy. I doubt I will ever come back here. I'm very disappointed and I need to find an arcade to take my kids.

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.

My 1st born son LOVES dinosaurs. If you want your kids to ride on a pretty big dinosaur,.. then…read morethis is one of the things to do for a dino themed party. The package we ordered included the animatronic dinosaur that kids could ride. It was abit humerous because kids who said they weren't interested in riding the dinosaur ended up riding the dinosaur. Our package also included searching for toy skeleton dinosaurs. My kids loved digging through and trying to find stuff... they through the hay/dirt everywhere looking for the mini skeleton figurines. I do agree,.. the workers might have had better training. I think if they came in with a game plan on how to entertain us.. it could have been even better. They came in... setup the dinosaur. Kids were riding the dinosaur for about an hour. They setup the digging stations. That lasted for an hour too. Finally they brought in a pet dinosaur to explain to the kids. It definitely was more just one event after another instead of like a learning show.

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.
