I really appreciated the staff member showing us what the mini golf course looked like before we bought a round. My family and I enjoyed playing miniature golf and arcade games for an hour and a half. We really appreciated that they had drinks and snacks for sale too. Plus, all the games took quarters vs. tokens, which we really appreciated. We will definitely return. If you want a fun, safe place, with plenty of front parking in Eureka, "Game On" is a great place to go.

My favorite was sushi spot's- soy and chili with daikon radish shooters! It was a windy but the weather here is unpredictable, the first half of the day it was really hot outside. I really enjoyed myself and I got to try lots of oysters as well as other kinds of food. The lines moved pretty fast. The only thing I could say I didn't like was the cost of beer and wine was pretty steep- about seven dollars per drink in small plastic cups. The oysters where more affordable than any of the beer or wine was. The square was very crowded but everyone was nice, and it was enjoyable to see everyone so interested and enthusiastic about the local oyster business.

As a resident of Arcata I've got to say I'm really disappointed at this year's Oyster Festival, at…read moreleast the part on Saturday. We paid an entry fee so we could go stand in super long, hot, dusty, and disorganized lines. Not much shade to be had, not a seat to be seen. Overhyped and oversold. Barely were able to get beers, and that was so exhausting that waiting in another ginormous line for oysters was impossible. We left without even finishing our beers. Definitely will not be doing this again, and will warn others off as well. Unless ... unless the organizers think about the people's experience and not just how to pack them in like cattle at a feed lot. And what's with not having it at the Arcata Plaza on a Sunday (so as not to compete with the incredibly well-organized Arcata farmers market)? Don't anyone tell me it's about COVID, because the way this was set up it was a super-spreader event. The events at the Plaza were way better than that animal pen.

We have had season tickets to NCRT for six years. I am continually blown away that our small town…read morehas this caliber of theater. The acting, sets, costumes and directing are always top notch. They make full use of their small space with cast utilizing the rows between the audience's seats. Each season they present six plays. There is always at least one musical, comedy, and a Shakespeare. Each runs for a few weeks with most performances on Friday and Saturday evenings and with a couple of performances on Sunday afternoon. Tickets are very affordable but the season ticket is the real bargain. I have never been disappointed. Yelp asks whether this is good for kids. The simple answer is generally not but some of the plays are kid friendly.

Your ticket doesn't have a seat number. We wound up sitting on hard folding chairs next to a speaker for 2 hours. Lost feeling in my legs half way through and we could only see half the stage. My wife had a recent spinal fusion and couldn't bare the seats for too long. Great show! Shoddy theater!

Pastels on the Plaza takes place the first Saturday in October in the center of downtown Arcata. Spaces around the city plaza's sidewalk are "purchased" by area businesses and these donations go to support worthy local charity organizations, as well artists from all over the region converge on this downtown Arcata landmark event as they have for decades, early that morning to create amazing temporary works of art out of pastel chalk in these spaces. Artists young and old, groups and singles, couples and friends - amateur and professional all comes together to create, share and celebrate - life on the north coast - this is an amazing community event. This Saturday morning - cool and crisp, you can feel fall in the air. We arrive at about 8:15ish, check in, get our tools and supplies and go pick our space - we have a double space this year - representing a local town business. It's looking to be a great day on the plaza. There are people everywhere - young and old - pro and amateur all creating art for a great cause - the children of the California north coast area. The day was filled with live music, food, art and community. Children playing everywhere - people enjoying the market and art - artists catching up often only seeing each other once a year at this event. This first Saturday in October has been another great day. This event is one of the things that truly makes this community an amazing place to live... A real gem 5 Star event. 00102
