Never knew this place existed until this past weekend, it is expensive but if you stay for a few…read morehours it makes up for it with the unlimited pass. This past weekend the downfall we had were two of the rides were closed down. Tons of parking, never had an issue with staff everyone was acknowledgeable, nice and explained how the process works. Bought the tickets online to save, this place has rides, arcades, and food. I suggest going right when it opens, the mini golf gets super crowded so the kids and I just kept playing in random courses to avoid the long lines. Surprisingly the food wasn't bad at all, it is pricey, but favorable. I also enjoyed the fact that the claw machine wasn't a scam like most places, my kids enjoyed the fact that they were able to win plushies that was the highlight of my time.

There's also a full bar and amusement park food like pizza. We played 18 holes of mini golf at night which was fun. You can pay for things individually or you can buy a bundle or unlimited pass.

I was quoted $160/hour by Jack Pinkerton for baseball lessons, which is DOUBLE local rates, which…read moreare already extremely high. When I decided not to move forward, the response I received was completely unprofessional and unacceptable. Instead of a respectful interaction, I was met with hostility I have not experienced before being told to "go f _ _ _ myself", that I was a "worthless pile of s _ _ _", and a myriad of other derogatory profanity-laced expletives. That alone raised serious concerns for me, especially considering this is someone working with kids. After looking further, I also noticed limited availability with scheduling and a relatively thin background compared to other coaches charging similar or even lower rates. There are many experienced instructors in the area with stronger credentials, better reputations, and far more professionalism. Parents should be very cautious here. Between the high pricing, limited accessibility, and the way a simple interaction was handled, this did not give me confidence that this is the right environment for young athletes. For transparency, I do have a recording of the call documenting the interaction if anyone is interested.

We are very lucky to have found Coach Jack to teach our son basic baseball fundamentals and…read moremechanics. Coach Jack doesn't dive right into the lesson. He instead observes and takes time to understand his students first and then molds his lessons appropriately. He instinctively knows the ins and outs of baseball and we've seen significant progress to our sons baseball abilities. The training/lesson is located in a relatively small unit but we actually prefer it because it creates a very personal one on one experience. Coach Jack will work with you on scheduling for the lessons. We honestly don't know if Coach Jack's rates are competitive compared other baseball coaches but for the lesson your child receives in the amount of time, we think it's great value!

He's stronger and faster than he was when he started. My 9 y/o is a different body type, so he needed to work more on coordination and strength and although he has a hard time focusing, he really does enjoy coming and burning off the energy. I have definitely seen a difference in his athleticism since joining. We drive from Tustin. So it's not exactly close but we have tried other places near by and there is something about here that our kids connect with. I also wanted to add that to have success in these programs, parents at home must make sure the kids are eating right. Their food intake is such an important part, I may not look like the healthiest person, but definitely limit the junk food for all of us. They have the same warms ups/stretches but they always change up what they work on. Whether there are 2 kids or 20 kids in the class they will ALL get a great workout for that hour. I am definitely out of shape but, I don't think I could finish a class, which is sad for me lol But watching all the kids, even if they are struggling they get great support from the coaches. It also helps that Coach Cam and Vanessa are 2 of the genuinely nicest people I've met. Bonus, if you have little ones, they have a small play area for them. My almost 2 yr old loves it. He also likes to run around the open area near the batting cages. They have bleachers to watch from inside. Or during these summer months the big gates are open and you are welcome to sit on the side and watch there. Clean restrooms. Water fountain. They sell water or Gatorade as well.

One of the older MLB ballparks and unfortunately not in a "retro cool" old way. Still, an…read moreenjoyable place to see a game, far more affordable than other stadiums in the region. Background Attended a weekday evening game with the White Sox visiting. Sat on lower-deck first base side. Plenty of Sox fans in attendance, many dressed on Marukami garb. (Unfortunately he didn't start but was a late inning replacement.) Trout homered, Angels soared, 4-3. Stadium The walk into the ballpark is among the ugliest, maybe now THE ugliest in baseball. An old park surrounded first by highways, then by vast cement parking lots. Truly, the Angels and city of Anaheim need to get their collective... budgets... together and finally convert this acreage into an area visitors will enjoy and not... look away from. The stadium itself is OK, especially for a vintage 60-year old field. Good sight lines throughout, no obstructed view seats. Nothing exciting about the outfield view although the faux-stone landscape and fountain in central field is somewhat scenic. Lots of fireworks - for starting lineups, Angel runs, and a couple nifty flamethrowers added in for home runs. The steps down from the 200 level to our seats were steep, a bit difficult to navigate while holding food, sodas and assorted gear. (My wife says this is an "old man" comment, I prefer the term "senior gentleman" but OK, guilty I guess). Food Hot dogs were good, especially the kielbasa, although the bun disintegrated upon pickup. Otherwise, pretty standard fare. Anything Unusual I caught a ball, with a single bare hand! But then bobbled it and a nearby fan with a glove swiped it. But he already had a ball so he gave it back! I gave the ball to a youth sitting next us, except another child also wanted it and started crying, then stared daggers at me for the rest of the game. Sometimes, there's no winning. Summary Well worth a respite from the mouse-eared havoc next door. Tickets are easy to come by, fun place for a family break. This is my 100th Yelp review!!!

First time watching a baseball game at Angel Stadium. Came to watch my White Sox play the home…read moreAngels on a Wednesday afternoon, and the experience was really great...well except for the final score. Expected the ticket prices on the resale market for 2 sub 0.500 (i.e. not good) teams playing during a weekday day affair to be very low, and I wasn't wrong. It was low enough that I upgraded to first level seating (Row G) on the visitor/first base side, so my wife and I could see home plate clearly and sit near other Sox fans. Getting here by mass transit from DTLB is at least a 2 hour journey (taking only trains would mean going to Union Station and taking Metrolink down to Anaheim...useful for folks who live near Dodger Stadium, interestingly enough). So we drove, getting there about 1 hour before first pitch. We took the Douglas Road entrance (northeast of the stadium), and paid $25 by credit card. We got a parking spot really close to the parking entrance: a bit of a walk to the stadium but easy for a quick getaway onto the nearby Orange (57) freeway. One has to have the MLB ticket app on their phone, as paper tickets are no longer accepted (we used tickpick as our resell provider...seems to be a bit cheaper than competitors like Stubhub and ticketmaster). First stop was security (like most sporting events, small purses and clear backpacks are allowed in). Then needed to get the tickets scanned. Next was finding Section 128, row G. This lower section was in direct sunlight for the entire game, except for maybe row Z. The next section up are the 200's and those seats are shaded by the overhang. We told ourselves if the sun got too hot, we would just move back since there were so many open seats. Had to use the bathroom between the 1st and 2nd inning and found them to be pretty clean. Some other observations: - If you come early to the game, visiting players will sign your memorabilia (need to provide your own permanent marker). This happens right in front near section 128, through a gap in the protective netting. - Players and other employees are constantly throwing used baseballs into the stands. One clear opportunity is when the last out of the top of the inning finishes, the last used ball will be thrown into the stands as the player enters the visitor's dugout. Having a baseball glove is 'hand'y , though we saw some spectators make some great bare-handed catches. - there are 5 different Pokemon gyms throughout the stadium, all with the exact same name: 'Angel Stadium' - beer and food vendors are constantly through the crowd, hawking. Looked like they only accept credit cards. - Beer sales is supposed to stop after the 7th inning stretch. - The player I most wanted to see played 1st base for the Sox, but he (Murakami) had 4 strikeouts including when the bases were loaded in the 7th. The rest of the Sox played poorly as well, losing to the now 15-23 Angels, 2-8. It wasn't a particularly well played game, with the main highlight being shown on the Web, where our second baseman dropped a pop-up because the sun was in his eyes. The best play was made by an Angels pitcher on a bunt-for-hit, bare-handing a dribbler to first on a bang-bang play. And the best discussion my wife and I had was if the clear highlights at the end of Murakami's haircut was dyed, or bleaching from the sun. It was that sort of game for Sox fans.
