1st time going to Oktoberfest here. They offer 2 such events this month, starting at noon and…read moreending at 9. Went with the cheaper tickets for $10 at the gate. Parking is $15 via the adjacent Evergreen Cemetery. I arrived past 1 p.m. and there was a line of cars waiting to park. Probably took about 20-30 minutes to do so. Tried most of the food offerings and of course imbibed German golden brew. Nothing food wise was a wow, but the potato salad on the bratwurst platter and the Obatzda cheese for the pretzel are quite good. The schnitzel I got was a letdown. No desserts to be found, as far as I could see, for the peasantry (non-VIP). Prices not terrible, I suppose. Ended up raining heavily later on, so that might have cut down on the crowd a bit. Probably should have checked out the lineup of performances beforehand, which is available online. Didn't really catch much of that. It's not a huge area. Wish there were additional shopping options, perhaps more German goods. Nothing in that regard tickled my fancy. Suppose it's not really about that anyway. I was not enticed to stay more than a couple of hours, however. Friendly, good-natured crowd present. Enjoyable enough, but not in a hurry to return.

I love this place and their Oktoberfest is among the best. I eagerly joined the society as I am a…read morelover of all things German, well, most things anyway. I was one of the few younger members. Sadly, young people (and by young I mean anyone under sixty to the age of twenty one) don't want to belong to anything any more. They'd rather pretend their lives are glorious on social media. Meh The social events here are great and very affordable. The food is excellent--prepared by the members who obviously take pride. I always liked coming to the dances and seeing the oldsters get their groove on. They have fun and good on them. Leave it to the young party poopers to twiddle their fingers at home. If you volunteer to work Oktoberfest you get some coupons toward free beer and food but truly, it is fun to volunteer because most people you'll encounter there are fun and know how to act decent in public, even when on the lash! HA! The one thing I did not like (it's been a couple of years since I volunteered)--on two occasions I was assigned to work at the bar and sling beer. On both occasions I showed up, asked what to do and after some confusion I was put in those spots and after working them for a bit, someone showed up (not the same person) who was rather rude to me being there and sent me off like a misbehaved child to somewhere else. Um, I was doing what I was told to do and doing very well at it. When I worked the bar the gentleman in charge told the crabby coordinator that I was doing pretty good for a newbie and was happy to keep me on. I ended up slinging beer an hour or so later and that was fun and very busy, making the evening fly by. I really enjoyed it! Later that hat year they treated all the volunteers to a visit to the Dali museum and dinner at the Hofbrau Haus in St. Pete. We even had cocktails on the bus. It was a great time. The next year I was put on beer slinging and again, myself and another volunteer were chased away. I was sent to check IDs but they already had enough people and told me so. I had my tickets for free goodies and debating saying "to hell with this nonsense" and just bugging off to enjoy the festivities without working but I waited and observed and once one of the beer lines looked out of control I jumped in again and helped keep the line moving. This time no one interfered and the people I worked with told me there were happy for my help. (and now, you can't drink beer all day while you work) So yeah, there are members of this club who think they are elite and can treat volunteers like crap and it left a bad taste in my mouth. I joined after the first incident and stayed on but I suspect others do not return because of this attitude problem. And like any social club or fraternal organization, there are cliques and some are rather obnoxious. I made the mistake of falling in with one of them and then feeling heartbroken when I was bluntly informed that I didn't fit in with them after all (they were offended by a fart joke--insert eye roll) so I found a new place to sit at future events and found a nice crew who told the occasional fart joke or two themselves and had some great times with people who knew how to laugh and have fun. So join! You will enjoy it if you go in prepared. If you are part of the leadership of the German American Society you might want to think about how some of your coordinators treat volunteers. Instead of sneering at someone working at the bar perhaps consider saying "I'm so sorry. We're going to have to put you at a different location because of blah blah blah" or maybe just accept that another coordinator already beat you to assigning someone to the bar so your best buddy Hilda, to whom you promised the gig, will go have to work another station for a few hours.

There's such a variety of activities -- from arcade games to attractions -- so no one gets bored.

The staff was friendly, helpful, and patient, especially with the kids. You can tell they genuinely want everyone to have a good time. If you're looking for something fun to do in Sanford that works for both kids and adults, Elev8 is a solid choice. We'll definitely be back! We really enjoyed the pizza!

I have three boys so of course nothing is going to be cheap. For two activities it cost $128 dollars. They were busy so for instance the rope course we had to wait for several times. The mini golf is glow in the dark but not a large scale just a miniature option. There was a cord in the middle of one of the holes which is a hazard if someone tripped over it. They have several activities to choose from being ropes course, rock climbing, bowling, arcade, laser tag, axe throwing. You do get some arcade credits but they're kind of a waste counting on each kid got 60 credits and one game was 30 credits. We didn't eat here but I did have a drink from the bar, the bartender was kinda and fast and the drink was good for the money. The staff seemed to be pretty nice. I mean at the end of the day you do what you can in a setting like this. There are things I would do differently but if you need in indoor activity definitely give it a try if you have some money to burn.

We gave a card for our tab, received our shoes and were told which lane we were assigned. A card was also required for our food and drinks order. We ordered Passion Fruit Lemonades and the Alley Sampler. The sampler tray consisted of French Fries, Chicken Wings, Chicken Tenders, Pretzel Pins and Cheesy Dippers. Sauces accompanied the sampler. The sampler was perfect for sharing. I especially enjoyed the Chicken Tenders and Cheesy Dippers. The tenders were crispy and fried golden brown. The Cheesy Dippers were perfect when dipped in the Marinara Sauce. The Passion Fruit Lemonade was refreshing and delicious. Jack Jack was amazing! After we paid for our food, he quickly got us situated and assisted us with settling our bowling tab. He was personable and friendly. This was our second visit at this location. It more than likely won't be the last.

Each section of the place was set up so strategically for the photography. It didn't feel crowded at all even though there was a good number of models and photographers there. You could tell the owner and his team put a lot of thought into this place - determining where to put each set, how to space it out so it didn't feel claustrophobic and to allow enough walking/standing area in between. There was enough props, backgrounds, and unique furniture for all sorts of photos. Vibe is very on point and I was able to get some amazing photos thanks to some fantastic photographers and the sets. The large prism that you could enter the huge and LED screen/platform were my absolute favorite. (Not sure if that's what they're actually called) I was there for 2-3 hours but there was still so many more places to shoot at! Definitely a cool place to check out with a group of friends!!
