If you want to get good at sports - just get flexible. Trust me. Plenty of parking (unless there is baseball rec league- ) I love this park. It is a great park. If you are coming from the freeway - beware of the 60mph to 5mph exit. Thank you.

My toddler loves playing at Pretend City. We bought a membership and visited often over the summer…read more(on weekdays). It's well maintained and kept clean in the morning. There were times staff kept putting back toys so quickly and frequently I was getting annoyed (in my head) because I had to keep getting boats and fish back out for him in the water area. I love that they switch out the sensory items in the art room throughout the month so it's a different experience each visit. Their Wonder Lab area with painting was sooo fun! It's too bad it was only seasonal. My son loves all of it - harvesting fruits and veggies in the farm, pushing his own cart in Trader Joe's, cooking in the restaurant, etc. It is truly a great, fun space for kids. Once, the CEO played in the construction area with him for a few minutes - that impressed me. They also regularly have special event days with dance and music demonstrations, author read alouds, etc. Members Only hour is the best time to visit (they open an hour early). Once 10:00 hits, the floodgates open and it's gets substantially more crowded. With all that said, we visited on a recent Sunday afternoon - never again! Every exhibit was in total disarray (every single toy on the floor and rarely even in the right zone), older kids zooming around on kid cars like scooters, a child climbing the fake fountain in the center and standing at the top (where were the parents?! No staff member present either...it was really dangerous). I've never seen Pretend City look like that before but if that's what it was like on my first visit it would scare me away! There's lots of parking but mostly in the back lot. The front lot gets full fast and many spots are reserved for other businesses. You can bring your own food/drinks to eat in their Cafe area or purchase some from vending machines. Wish they sold coffee... Again, amazing spot and 5/5 on weekday mornings. 1/5 on weekend afternoons.

The vending machines are expensive but it's pretty cool that you can bring your lunch. Definitely worth checking out .

Attendants were only there to make sure the balls were closed after we got inside. They were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this company. Everything went really well and everyone had a lot of fun.

I have a friend who only wants to meet when it's convenient for her and it's always at a playground…read morebecause hashtag: momlife, and I am starting to wonder what I am getting out of this friendship. Anyway, our recent meetup was here, which was awkward for me because I always arrive early and she always late, and when you're an awkward person to begin with and happen to be at a playground with no kids, people will probably start to notice and wonder... So I sat in my car in the hot sun on the street (no shade or lot parking here) for 15 minutes before entering this relatively small park+playground. The park side is tiny and the terrain is lumpy on purpose. Great for dogs or small humans running up hills their sizes. There is outdoor exercise equipment, picnic tables but no bathrooms. The playground itself seems typical - got the tiny kid structure and a bigger kid structure, net tunnel, slides, climbing bars, etc. that held up the weight of fully grown adults trying to pick off their kids (Sidenote: I usually take a ton of photos but because it was so crowded with minors, I thought I better not...) There is a large merry-go-round, which you don't see much of in LA or in modern times. I know because I have been to like 5 playgrounds in the last few months. That makes me an expert, dude. It was really busy on a Sunday...funday for the kids, and it's free, so parents can't complain. The park/playground seems relatively clean and new, at least the plastic equipment hasn't shown its age yet. Upon research, I have come to know that this park was completed in December 2012. Overall, cool little park if you have dogs/kids and happen to live in the area or if your friend makes you meet her here.

Saul and his son were so friendly, engaging, and energetic. Their show was dynamic. They brought out the animals based on the kiddos' interests. If the kids were tired of snakes, they switched to lizards and when they were tired of those, they switched to bugs and spiders. They were as professional as they were enthusiastic. Even though little kids would go up to the stage, the father-son duo didn't skip a beat in protecting the kids and animals seamlessly. It shows that they are skilled in taking care of their animals and are genuinely passionate. In the end, even the shyest children and adults wanted pictures with the animals and I felt grateful that Warmhearted Reptiles stayed to let them do so. They took the time to let everyone have their moment. If you are looking for a reptile and bug show, do not hesitate to book them!
