The BEST wedding venue we could have ever asked for!…read more We had our wedding April 2024 and was nervous for the weather with the indoor/outdoor venue, but it ended up being perfect. The sun came out just in time for the 4pm cocktail hour and we were able to enjoy being on the grass without it being wet. Our guests kept talking about how amazing the view was - which is exactly why we chose it! This is perfect for if you want a beach wedding, but not directly on the sand. We wanted our guests to be outside for as much as possible to enjoy the La Jolla view, so we had cocktail hour and our buffet table outside. With the help of Personal Touch Dining, we also had bar tables set up outside for guests to still enjoy being outside during the party. Andrew and the rest of the Scripps Seaside Forum team was very easy to work with - always being available over email or text for any random questions I had.

This play is so well acted. Transitions are seamless. This play is hilarious! Next stop? New York would not surprise any of us, who came to see it. The staff at The Playhouse is so warm and welcoming. Both young and old are well taken care of. And guess what? I'm buying a subscription! You cannot beat this for local theatre. And I am comparing it to other venues in San Diego. No issues about parking. Not a bad seat in the house. I'm telling you, this play runs till almost the end of the month. Grab any seat available.

It was definitely busy, but it never felt overly crowded, which made it easy to take my time and actually read about and enjoy all the different critters. We purchased our tickets online and used a promo code that saved us a few bucks. Our total ended up being $62.90 for two people, which I thought was pretty reasonable for the experience and the support it goes toward. There were lots of interactive activities for kids, but I honestly had just as much fun learning about everything myself! The animals appeared very well cared for, and I loved the touch pools. The animals would occasionally take breaks from interacting, which I appreciated because it felt like they were being given plenty of space and rest. The staff were also great! We learned so much from the workers throughout the aquarium. Rosy the rosy boa was especially fun to learn about, and I loved seeing the loggerhead sea turtle with a 3D-printed back brace and the octopus recovering from a leg injury. Seeing the care that goes into these animals made the experience even more meaningful. Parking was easy and free, which is always a huge plus. There's also a cute gift shop with some really nice, quality items. It is definitely on the pricier side, but there were plenty of things I liked. Overall, I absolutely loved getting to see these animals up close and learning about them. Such a fun and educational afternoon, and I would definitely come back in the future!

Otherwise, you'll be paying around $40 per person, unless you have an EBT card, which brings admission down to only $3 per person. There are about two sections of aquatic animals to explore. There is a penguin section, a small shark section, and a variety of other marine creatures. There is also an outdoor section with a nice view of the ocean in San Diego, which makes for some great photo opportunities. I've been to many aquariums, and I felt slightly underwhelmed by this one, mostly because of the price. Other than that, it's still a pretty nice spot to check out at least once. Parking: Plenty of parking, and it's free!

Don't come here expecting parking, it's not gonna happen on the street, but down the hill to the right is a large parking structure, it's an easy walk. No alcohol, but totally fine with me, people are obnoxious when they drink so it's definitely not a loss in my opinion. They have plenty of caffeinated options if you want an energy boost. This is probably one of the smallest places I've seen live music in, it's very intimate if you want to get up close and personal. I saw a famous Seattle band in a slightly larger venue for a similar type of thank the fans event and people kept saying it was crazy intimate, but this is much smaller. There's also an outdoor patio which is nice when it gets stuffy inside, the breeze is good.

We took my son to a two night event and the first night I had lost my hat. I looked everywhere for it but no such luck. We checked on the way out of the venue and no luck. They suggested I email just in case so I did. The next morning I received a message back that my hat had been found and they noticed I would be back so they would come find me. Sure enough I got my hat back! Such an amazing group! The seat are comfy and vary spacious. The event we attended had some table set up closer to the stage which we had for night two and it was amazing. My son was literally right in front of one of his favorite music composers ever. The sound is great and the venue is outdoors (which might be a bit crazy if it rains but otherwise great to enjoy on a summer night or even during the winter when its a little chillier). Overall great venue and cannot wait to go back!

I received a notice from the San Diego Gay Men's Chorus that they were going to have two Pride concerts at the Epstein Family Amphitheater venue at UCSD. Specifically, one of the concerts was to be held on Saturday night, and the other concert was to be held on the subsequent Sunday afternoon. I booked my tickets online and they provided a link to parking information, which is critical. The closest lot was about a four minute walk away. If you have a handicapped placard for your car, parking in the handicapped places if free of charge. However, if you do not possess of a handicapped placard, you will need to make an online reservation for a parking place while on campus to avoid a ticket. The concert by the Gay Men's Chorus was superb. The seating is just fine and my view was clear, There are also grassy areas to spread a blanket.

You cant cancel the reservation on the same day. Next time I know better.
