An awesome and fun night out! We were taking a walk on 4th Street in downtown Santa Monica and…read morehappily discovered SportsFest. The batting cages caught our eyes through the window, but once we went inside, we discovered you could also play tennis, lacrosse, cricket, and padel. Each cage had virtual screens with scoring (think Top Golf, but with racket/paddle sports) and you can rotate between all the sports in one reserved lane. There's a bar in the back giving it a Lucky Strike-ish feel and there's also a foosball table and pool table. The two of us played a quick half hour just to try it, but could have easily played for over an hour plus and had a full-on date night here. Great place for groups, big and small, and glad to have a fun entertainment space in downtown Santa Monica!

You can switch off between each sports and absolutely no experience or skills are necessary. We were told golf will be added in the future but not sure when that will happen. There are also several arcade games, foosball table, pool table, AND skee-ball machines!! How cool is that?! The place also has a small private room and a bungalow, along with a back area with 2 bars where they also serve food. Upstairs: there's another batting cage and an area to just chill and hang out. There are a bunch of tv's throughout the place, I believe they sometime have sports/watch parties. This would be such an awesome venue to host a birthday party or work/group event. Overall: great place to hang out before or after spending time at the nearby Third Street Promenade and the Santa Monica Pier, which are both only a few minutes walk away. Friendly staff is also a plus! Parking: several public parking structures (#1-7) are located nearby that are all within about a 5-minute walk. Parking Structure #1 is probably the closest one, just down the street. About a 2-3 minute walk.

Excellent venue for watching the tournament. This year they changed it so you must purchase a…read morespecific ticket for each day. Last year they allowed you to purchase a ticket and use it for any day of the 4 day event. I preferred last year's format, it allowed you to choose whichever day worked best for you without being required to attend on a specific date. The food is very expensive, over $20.00 for a small hamburger and drink. But, at least they have alot of options for food and nicely spread throughout the course. You can move easily throughout the course and there are great views for almost every one of the 18 holes. Getting to and from the venue requires use of a tram from Santa Monica, which worked well for me, without hardly any wait. Parking was another $20.00 in Santa Monica, however. The course is beautiful and it's great to see someone very top golfers in the event. If you get there early and plan ahead, you can have some great views and close up viewing of either the tee box or the putting green. Highly recommended for any golf fan. A very enjoyable experience.

Seven high quality performances per year by the Palisades Symphony, Joel Lish, Music Director &…read moreConductor. All free / give what you can. I believe they give 4 classical / instrumental concerts per year, 2 more with a choral group, and one opera (without stage set) for a total of 7. We just went to their concert at Pali High and both my husband and I thought that the audience should really be much larger given the quality of the performance. The orchestra sounded great (I am a musician and my husband is an audiophile) and the soloists for the Brahms Double Concerto were excellent. It reminded me of the experiment where Joshua Bell played in a train station and virtually no one stopped to listen, whereas the night before hundreds of people had each paid $100 or more to hear him play in a hall. Come on, people! Excellent music in your backyard! Just because it's "free" doesn't mean it is not worthwhile. It is a gift. The concert information is available on their website: dates, times (usually Sunday evenings), and location, which is typically either an auditorium at Palisades High School (free lot or street parking) or a church on Sunset (also free parking.) The church can be crowded for the popular works, but the auditorium at the HS was only half full, which was a terrible shame. It was a $100+ value concert in a somewhat intimate setting. I am not kidding when I say I preferred it to Disney Hall, where the closest seats are still far from the music. And it was FREE!!

It's a cozy spot, and features great acoustics. There is a variety of different seating available, and we ended up in the very last row of the risers.

I was a bit bothered ny the shaking, but I was the only member of my party who even noticed. There is a free parking lot on Wilshire, but we found street parking that was closer. Tickets were accessible at $10 each, and I hope that more jazz shows will be presented at this venue - we will definitely be back.

There are also unlimited non-alcoholic beverages and fun snacks on your way to your seat. The views of the seats that have access to this aspect of Dodger Stadium are top notch as expected. There were also fireworks after the game the night I went so I didn't have to move at all to get a great view and even saw Kershaw and his family head onto the field to watch the fireworks. The time I got to experience this, it was a surprise so my Dodger fan mind - from a humble socio-economic background - was blown. A buddy of mine who works in sports entertainment had tickets for us. Typically we would go up to the the suite that his company had rights to. On this particular night, his boss wasn't using his tickets...so he walked us down...and down...until we got to three rows behind home plate! Included was our trip down to the food and snacks. I don't work for a large company, profitable law firm (so no company tix)...nor do I have so much money that I can make splurges like this, especially with ticket prices these days, so it is unlikely I will be able to experience this again, but oh man, this was one of the best pro sports experiences I ever had anywhere.

Had a chance to see my first Long Beach baseball game on a Wednesday night celebrating Filipino…read moreheritage night. It was a lot of fun, and our group of four had a great time. Blair Field was built in 1956, and has been the home of the Long Beach State 'Dirtbags' baseball team since 1993. The field was named after the sports editor of the local paper, who was a champion for the field to be built. After a significant contribution from a longtime supporter, the infield was named Bohl Diamond at Blair Field in 2017. The 'Dirtbags' are a college Division I baseball team, with some alumni that have done very well at the MLB level. Two of them have had parts of the stadium named after them (Tulowitzki Batting Facility and Weaver Bullpen). It has also been the home of the new professional Pioneer League baseball team, the Long Beach Coast (aka Regulators) since 2026 (this game was part of the inaugural season). The Pioneer League is an independent league (not directly tied to MLB team), but is an official MLB partner league, and consists of 12 teams across the Western U.S. The opponent tonight were the Missoula Paddleheads, coming all the way from Missoula, Montana. The stadium seats 3,238 fans, with some distinct sections. The most expensive are the Backstop Club, 6 boxes of 2 rows of 3, right behind home plate, costing $48.36. Behind those are HomePlate Reserved, $27.20. The field box seats consist of 2 rows of 3, closest to the field on both the first and third base lines, and cost $43.07. Behind those are Baseline Reserved for $19.79. All of these have individual, numbered chairs. The rest are bleachers (metal seats with no dividers between seats). The Bleacher Reserved are just behind the HomePlate Reserved, with metal benches as seats (bringing seat cushions isn't a bad idea), but having seatbacks. They were 50% off this Tuesday (normally $20.54 but $10.27 tonight), and those were the 4 that I purchased via their dedicated website. Tickets were delivered via an email, and were easy to transfer to my Apple Wallet for easy scanning. General Admission seats behind the Baseline Reserved were just $2 tonight (normally $16.62). This is the way to go. Season ticket holders have some advantages in that they gain entry to the stadium parking lot (single game have to park on the street around the area), and are allowed to enter the stadium early (others have to wait till 1 hour before game time). Thus we waited till 5:35, at which point they let us in. First was a security check (no backpacks allowed), a metal detector. Then a scan of your ticket. Once entered, we noticed a lot of Filipino themed food vendors. Foodologie, Gemmae, and Teofilo Coffee were all there. The smell of fried Shanghai-style lumpia was pretty prevalent throughout the night. It made us happy to see this Filipino staple being shared by baseball fans while watching the game. Before the start of the game, there were two performances of traditional Filipino dances, the presentation of Filipino beauty queens, the throwing out of the first pitch by a prominent Filipino community leader, and the singing of the national anthems (Filipino and United States), both by two different Filipino singers. As one can imagine, the three Filipinas sitting next to me were very happy. As for the game itself, the Coast lost 1-3 this night, with the game lasting about 2.5 hours. It definitely exceeded my expectations. Plus our neighbor made it big by appearing on the "jumbotron" TWICE, with her dancing (that's when I understood why she wanted to be sitting on the aisle). She was chosen 'fan of the game' and got two complementary tickets for a future ball game. Some negatives were the poor announcing of what was happening during the game by the PA, and with the really, really small display of the current balls/strikes/outs on the jumbotron. There was a long delay (seemed like 10 minutes, though probably shorter) at the bottom of the 8th inning, when the game just stopped for apparently no reason...the players stayed on the field, but the umpiring crew of three just wouldn't let the game continue. The PA system started time filling events as if it was between innings to keep the fans pre-occupied, so they must have known what was going on. But the baseball fans didn't...finally, we got irritated enough to start chanting 'Let's play ball...Let's play ball'. That got the umpires attention, as if it was the first time he noticed that there were fans waiting. Baseball is a game of hand signals, and I had no clue what the crew chief signaled to the press box when the game restarted. I was expecting an explanation from the PA, but nada...the game continued as if the delay was normal. But the views and atmosphere was good enough for all four of us to want to stay for the entire game. Plus got to see a 95 mph fastball from behind home plate. It wasn't too difficult to leave the parking lot, and we got home in under 30 minutes.
