Oh my goodness... there is SO much to say about this place! First off, every single person who…read moreworks here is incredibly hardworking and truly curates such an amazing experience to make it so special--not only for the kids, but for us parents, too! I definitely wasn't expecting a slime museum to be as incredible of experience as it was for both my son and me! We had the BEST time, and I honestly couldn't believe we were able to spend over two hours there. It was absolutely worth the money and such a fun time! And I have to give a special shoutout to Bailee, who is truly a walking ray of sunshine! She went above and beyond and made our experience even more special. I HIGHLY recommend this place--you will not be disappointed! We will absolutely be back!

The staff were fun, friendly, and enthusiastic, which made the experience enjoyable. The location…read morewas easy to get to, and there was a great variety of slime options to choose from. The highlight was creating your own slime by selecting the color, fragrance, and charms. My only concern was the value for the price. I wish there had been more rooms or activity stations, as the entire visit can be completed in about an hour, which felt a bit too short for what we paid. The slime dump was an additional cost.

Jazz at LACMA is a weekly summer must!…read more There's nothing like enjoying the cool evening air with smooth jazz at LACMA. Every Friday from May through September, live jazz fills the Smidt Welcome Plaza, with a new performer each week (check the website for upcoming acts and food truck/vendor lineups). We felt lucky to visit when Betty "Cool Miss B" Brown received the L.A. Jazz Treasure Award from the Los Angeles Jazz Society. Performances start at 6pm, but I highly recommend arriving at least an hour early, Bring your own food and drinks for a perfect picnic. The earlier you get there, the better chance of snagging a seat in the plaza; otherwise, there's plenty of lawn space and additional tables nearby. Food trucks and vendors are set up just behind the plaza. It was so much fun to see everyone relaxing, dancing, and simply enjoying the music. My son and I were vibing the whole time. Seeing him feel the music was a special memory that took me back to when I first discovered jazz. Definitely core memories unlocked. We can't wait for next week's event! (Just be aware parking is $24, but otherwise, we loved every moment of Jazz at LACMA.)

From the very beginning of the first impression, it was horrible…read moreImagine exiting the parking lot elevators to enter the museum only to be surrounded by colossal bronze sculptures of animal heads, and one demonic head! Yikes! Yeah, that was our first impression which was bad Overall, This was such a waste of time. We were very unimpressed by the exhibits. All this post, modern art is quite rubbish. People making random scribbles and throwing paint on it is art? My three-year-old niece can give me that for free. The figurines and statues are grotesque. They have way too many rules about what to wear and how you carry your backpack. And the payment you make only permits you to go to certain areas. Very unimpressed by their collection Totally regret coming here and will never go back

Before I visited The Museum of Jurassic Technology last week, I had almost no idea what to expect…read more Friends who had visited it said that it was quirky and hard to describe. They were right on both counts, but I'll try to do better for you. It's very dark inside, with small, maze-like rooms. In fact, it's so dark that some of the exhibit descriptions are hard to read. I wish I'd taken the guy at the front desk up on his offer to borrow a penlight. Some of the audio exhibits didn't work, but that didn't matter a lot, since most of the exhibits were meant to be read. Here are some of the exhibits that stood out to me: - I loved learning about the geometry of Islamic architecture. - The dioramas depicting trailers and RV's were pretty cool, as were the historical description. - Those poor but heroic Soviet space dogs! - Historical superstitions. Perhaps that's why I have a picture of my grandfather as a toddler in a dress! - The bell wheel. Wow. I told my husband we need to make one. - Too bad no photos are allowed in the museum. I would have loved to take some pics of the doves in the tea room so I could paint them at home. - Look through the microscopes and try to figure out how they did that! It's a unique place and I look forward to taking some of my nerdier relatives there sometime.

It's really clean, and it's so cool getting to learn about others and how they passed away, not to mention, understand my own life and put it in perspective. I really appreciate them making my night.

I love this place and have been here 3 times in the past…read more They have good food and beverages along with great vibes and good times. Every Sunday, they have different comedians and it's called "Chocolate Sundays". Mostly a lot of African American comedians are performing for Chocolate Sundays. They really make me laugh. It's 2 items minimum for drinks. I had the Blackberry Whiskey sour ($18), and bottled water. My friend also had the same cocktail and bottled water. Service by Sarah was great in every way! I can't comment on the food, because we had already eaten. I have had their food in the past, and it's just OK. Bar food. What do you expect? She invited me for her birthday and normally the tickets are $20 for each person. Parking is valet, $17.00. We parked outside. I HATE valet, and don't trust them from previous experiences at different places. Place is very clean, bathrooms needed attention. If you ever get the chance and the opportunity, give this place a try. You won't be disappointed. They had 2 shows. We went to the one for 9pm, since the 7pm one was already sold out. We wanted to go to the 7pm one. Oh well, it was still a fine, great outing with a friend who I hadn't seen in a long time. She doesn't like taking pictures, so we didn't take photos. Thank you Laugh Factory for your great hospitality and humorous comedians. They always deliver!

All kinds of different people would come in here, and they took Korean classes and it was a community like no other place I have ever seen in Los Angeles. Then one day, it was ALL OVER. When Covid began in March 2020, which was over 6 years ago, it became online courses only. Now, their course availability is STILL mostly online-only, with the exception of 2 or 3 classes. It's a HUGE PITY that KCCLA doesn't welcome back its community of Korean-learners. We used to share meals with the teachers and the office workers and the classmates would chat and network before lessons while sharing a meal. The online courses that are offered by KCCLA are NOT good. I've tried them multiple semesters and they're just not good. Many of the people who take KCCLA's online courses don't even live locally. This used to be a local hub, and now it's online low-quality classes with students who live out of state or out of town. What did the students and community here do for you to be so determined to keep us out and away ?

It's closer to and a bit milder than Avenue Q which is a more adult version of a parody on Sesame street. 　 The interesting twist is being able to see not only the puppets on tv monitors, which is the normal default, but also seeing humans moving their puppets. I will post photos since a picture is worth a thousand words. In one session, the audience is asked to shout out random words and the puppeteers must create a witty skit by incorporating the random words that can get rather racy. Cocktails, beers, wine are on sale on the outside courtyard and can be taken inside where there is table seating. 2 hours went by quickly. Entertaining, fun, touch louche, this is not a show for uptight prudes. Advance ticket sales and advanced limited parking spaces. It may be better to carpool if coming in a group. Limited street parking, and as usual, check the street signs for any restrictions. Former studio of Herb Alpert and originally set up by Charlie Chaplin, this is historic, hallowed ground. Kermit prominently stands guard and tips his hat from a rooftop position. There are stuffed animals and puppets on sale too before the show. Usually 2 shows on the weekend and one show on Fridays. Limited engagements so look up on Puppet Up! website for the latest shows. 4 stars and a good excuse to visit another　Hollywood over the top venue, Miceli Ristorante for décor that is visual overload.

If you didn't know her work, it's the most fun, colorful and happy art at the intersection of Impressionism, portals and optical illusion, where you squint your eyes and each segment of color is like a pixel in a tapestry of interwoven color and texture. The vibe was amazing ing and I just had to go see this art and support this artist. I arrived and found an entire treasure trove of fascinating art by dozens of artists. Each style is unique and well worth coming by. Imagine walking through a museum of the most amazing only talented artists and all the art is for sale. I bought two pieces. One of Shiri's of course. The art is reasonably priced and there are many different sizes. I highly recommend Artspace Warehouse for some of the best talent in the L.A. art world. The staff is wonderful and extremely helpful and full of knowledge about each and every artist, the types of art and our chats were so chill- no pretentious vibes here. Just joy. This was really a thrill to see locals, families choosing art for their homes, and people like me who came a bit of a distance to share the art experience here. I highly recommend Artsoace warehouse.

I find it very interesting that you can tell what art belongs to a certain artist, even if the pieces are in separate rooms. The staff was great and let you enjoy the art at your leisure.
