    JUST TO PREFACE: Anything over a 30 - 45 minute wait might not be the most worth it as Villain's Grove ONLY occurs when it's Oogie Boogie Bash. It opens during sun down AKA when all the other normies without event tickets get kicked out around 6 PM I believe and of course its an experience that is BEST in total darkness when the sun has already set. Despite going to Oogie Boogie for a couple years already, this was my first time ever going to Villain's Grove only by virtue of the line moving super fast (less than 15 minutes in our case) and that we reached the capacity of the amount of candy that we've already gotten from Trick or Treating. Since this experience has NO VILLAINS to meet NOR any candy to get, just make sure you have your priorities in check. Since any wait longer than that will cut into your precious Oogie Boogie time and that IS a sold out event most years, if not every year. This takes place at what usually is the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail and there's a slightly different route if you need ADA wheelchair accessibility. It's a neat experience with "geysers", candles, lights, fog, music, the simulation of rain and thunderstorms that give you a neat villainous vibe from familiar faces such as the Evil Queen, Maleficent, Scar, Dr. Facilier, etc. From an artistic perspective it's pretty neat how they pulled off some of the grove. Make sure to get a picture at the end of the grove when you enter the light. Very cool and dramatic photo for sure.

It felt like you were truly in the Wild West. I loved buying souvenirs in the shops. They have a large Knott's Berry Farm official restaurant there as well. The rides are all very unique which was nice. A good variety: there are big roller coasters, fun car/buggy rides, tall drop rides, 3-D rides, etc. They also had tons of great candy stores too. As a sugar lover myself, I throughly enjoyed the candy bins & boysenberry snacks. Overall, a very fun place to spend the day. I stayed all day & can't wait to return again.

There was so much to do that it almost impossible to explore everything in one night! A plant-based blessing! Knott's truly has dining options for everyone! In addition to the food allergen and dietary restriction guide (https://qr1.be/RBJC) where you can easily view allergens and dietary preferences from all the restaurants and snack stands, Knott's also has supervisory staff that can provide further information on preparation and additional options for severe food allergies. At Coasters Diner I was able to eat the onion rings as they had no eggs or dairy. They also offered vegan burgers, as well as vegan hot dogs and vegan chicken tenders! Since I have only visited during Knott's Scary Farm, I definitely plan on returning during the day to enjoy more of the park. Very affordable and lots of fun for all ages!

Also yes. Are the lines crazy? Also yes. Did we enjoy the food? Well this time around we went to eat at a spot we haven't really eaten at until now, Tiana's Palace. The gumbo with their assortment of hot sauces and cornbread was surprisingly good. The mobile ordering is so convenient too. Also back to the subject of the lines. Is cool that they have the lightning passes and all for an extra fee but boy they are getting greedy by adding a higher tier of lightning passes that is used for specific rides. That level of greed is getting to be a bit much. I'm actually a bit pressed to give them a 3/5 but my niece enjoyed it so 4/5 it is. With so many of the rides weren't closed and that they still did the fireworks though. No fireworks show and parade during the lead up to Halloween I guess.

    I love Disney movies, but I don't care much for Disneyland…read more The sole reason I don't care to visit is the HUGE crowds throughout the park. Parking, entry gates, food lines, restrooms, souvenirs, rides and attractions, etc.- very long lines for everything regardless of the day and time you plan your visit. This park is always EXTREMELY crowded, and I get it; many people LOVE anything and everything Disney-related, including my own immediate family. #Respect Disneyland does its best to control crowd sizes, and I applaud their efforts. It is awesome that people are truly passionate about something they enjoy and love. In my case, I guess I love torture, as I have visited the park three times in the past two months, but I do it because my family loves the park and I enjoy family time. The park itself is beautiful, perfectly maintained, and a combination of old-school, as many of the original rides and displays function properly to this day, as well as the newest rides and attractions using modern technology. I have a strong feeling that we will be visiting the park at least one more time before the end of this year in time to experience the Christmas season at the, "Happiest Place on Earth"

    The kids had a great time, and our party host was wonderful. This review is not about the staff…read more Our party host was friendly, helpful, and did a great job keeping the party running smoothly. My frustration was with the way management handled changes to party packages. I booked and prepaid for my son's birthday party in June (for a July party) during a promotion. Before the party, I even called the party hotline twice to go over the details of my reservation, and at no point was I told that the attraction tiers had changed or that there would be optional upgrades available. When we checked in with seven excited kids ready to play, I was told I would need to pay additional fees as their packages had changed. Mind you, I had already paid the $200 for the party in June. I had to pay $35 for an extra kid because the new package included 5, not 6 kids. In addition, I had to pay an additional $9 per child if I wanted everyone to have access to the attractions they wanted to use. That wasn't the time to be making an unexpected spending decision, and realistically I wasn't going to tell a group of kids that some of them couldn't participate. (I was prepared to pay for one extra kid and an extra pizza). We ended up paying $360 instead of the $260 I had budgeted. To add to the confusion, I also didn't receive the balloons that were included with my party package. After reaching out to management, they explained that the attraction tiers had changed after I booked and clarified how the pricing worked. While I still think the communication leading up to the event could have been much better, I do appreciate that they took the time to respond, acknowledged that the communication wasn't clear, and offered two complimentary Unlimited Play passes and a large pizza as a goodwill gesture. My suggestion to Urban Air would be simple: if party packages change after customers have already booked, proactively notify them before their event. It would avoid confusion, unexpected charges at check-in, and allow parents to make informed decisions before arriving with a group of excited kids. What would be even better is that when you book a package, you are locked into that price and details instead of it changing. I would be really hesitant to book another party here because I wouldn't know what price I would ultimately be paying day of. Overall, the kids had a blast, and we'd likely return to play. I just hope the communication around birthday parties improves, because that's what took away from an otherwise fun celebration.

And this takes the cake as my all time favorite. The courses have great holes, with a large variety of simple classic style holes. But the place really shines in decor and atmosphere. It really leans into a more vintage vibe, considering this place is nearly 60 years old the grounds are immaculate, which is unheard of anywhere near LA. Amazing buildings and hedge arches dot the real turfed landscape. Vintage music plays out of old megaphones. Did I mention the place is massive? The parking lot holds maybe 400 cars, but expect it to be nearly full. It has vintage bumper boats, an arcade and 4 18 hole courses. Pricing is fair, 16.50 a person, and parking prices can vary but are usually free. Whoever maintains the grounds needs a serious raise, everything here is just perfect! COME AT NIGHT. This place really shines at night, when everything is lit up it is truly magical. One of the best in the nation, don't miss.

All the buildings, obstacles, decor and equipment were clean and well maintained and the water features all had fresh, clean water flowing through them, no signs of algae or stagnation anywhere. There were a few signs of aging around some of the cups and on some of the putting surfaces, but it is to be expected. I really wanted to score a 4.5, but gave it the full five because the mini-golf courses were so well-maintained. (Since we were there for a benefit and didn't pay admission, I cannot comment on the pricing or the relative value.)
