What a great weekend popup carnival and a relative bargain for a small regional event. It was only 5 bucks a person to get in and little ones under 4 were free. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/simi-valley-days-simi-valley?select=zxf1P4CpnqT2TC7nBFKm-A The event is held annually around the 3rd weekend in September and was set up at the Simi Valley Town center this year. A big chuck of the parking lot is cordoned off and various booths, carny games, food stands, a performance stage and rides are set up in the small area. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/simi-valley-days-simi-valley?select=NMYMSrx5A3LwUn8SqiRGsw We came by on a warm Saturday afternoon and the event was sparely attended but there was plenty of shade under the awnings in front of the live performance stage. A pretty good Beatles tribute band was cranking out the best of the Fab four while we were there. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/simi-valley-days-simi-valley?select=g49I7jPSWPz-RQRoc_iP3A They had rides for both kids and some for young teens, just the right amount really for the space and size of the event. A huge plus was the length of time of the rides for the ticket. They allowed plenty of time to enjoy the rides without rushing anyone off. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/simi-valley-days-simi-valley?select=pN9VuJ3zu8TflAbqrjj5eQ http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/simi-valley-days-simi-valley?select=OPrOpLbL9X6Wwnb0o9DdYA http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/simi-valley-days-simi-valley?select=LsP-RjG9snEaiCu9L7ye-g http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/simi-valley-days-simi-valley?select=D3_g6lwyBP0OkFVWhZh4Zg http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/simi-valley-days-simi-valley?select=FaNiH_-3uI2Dui9x3GsXjQ You have your choice of ticket blocks for the kids and the games are all cash to play in lieu of tickets. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/simi-valley-days-simi-valley?select=9ZLkTAEVMv3Ia3nR3cG4BQ http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/simi-valley-days-simi-valley?select=dgboMEzXke1LU5KjPWmQqA Plenty of free parking, the town center right there and a clean and safe atmosphere. All in all the kiddos had a wonderful time for the 3 or so hours we spent in attendance. I wouldn't hesitate to go back next year. read more
