    What a fun idea! We did a construction Easter egg hunt with my sons baseball team & it was a hit! The kids loved the digging & had fun trying to dig for eggs. Easy to book & the owner Jarret was so Good with the kids! Highly recommend!

    Best birthday party ever! My son wanted a construction theme birthday party this year. I scoured the internet for any construction theme rentals and had zero luck until I found BookMiniDigger! The diggers were SUCH a hit at the party and all the parents were asking how I found them. Highly recommend! Great price. Showed up on time. Super easy to work with. Can't go wrong.

    Kids waiting for their turn to find "Treasures" in the sand pit.

    We Booked Mini Digger because we were about to break ground for major construction on our Church and Children's Learning Center grounds. We have 2-5 year olds and they were so happy and excited to get up close and personal with the digger. Jarret (owner) was Wonderful and very accommodating to all. It's something we will definitely do again!! Blessed Sacrament Children's Center was lucky to have Book Mini Digger before construction began.

    These mini diggers were a BIG hit at my son's 4th bday party, everyone was having so much fun even the parents were getting involved. Jarret was very patient with the kids as ages were ranging from 1 years old to 9 years old and he was super friendly as well. Communication from booking to the day of the event was easy and he answered all my questions, I would totally recommend this company for your next event.

    Digger time!!

    We had the BEST time with the Mini Digger at my son's construction themed birthday! The kids loved digging for prizes and the pricing was super reasonable. The owner, Jarrett, was super nice and really easy to work with. I highly recommend this company for your next event!!!

    Could not recommend this small family owned business more! The owner was great with the kids and kept them engaged with games and hands on activities the entire time. This is perfect if you are looking for a unique party or play date idea! I could see this also being great for local preschools, sports team events etc.

    I planned a big event celebration for about 100 school aged kids and while in the first planning stages I was trying to think of different stations that would be fun, new and exciting as part of the experience and vision we were trying to bring to life. MiniDigger came to mind as I remembered seeing it at a previous event I attended and boy, am I glad it did! Our experience with Jarret, the owner was incredibly positive. It was about a month out when I made the initial booking call and Jarret already had another event booked that day but he went above and beyond to accommodate us by squeezing us in. He also recommended ideas for items we could purchase to put in the sand pit that went well with our theme. MiniDigger was a huge hit during our event and we are already thinking of a future date to have MiniDigger back! Great for holiday events & parties, Birthday parties, any special event really. The kids absolutely loved it! I highly recommend MiniDigger to my friends, family, and everyone!

It was five adults total--my mom wasn't able to play since she's disabled, but the staff was really accommodating, and we just left the door open so she could sit and watch us play, which worked out perfectly. The games were really fun, and the customer service was great--super friendly and helpful! We had previously tried Activate (which is similar), and I'd say we actually prefer the grid-style game at Activate since it feels more competitive. With RGB Run, the game started to feel a little repetitive after about 30 minutes, so I think it's more geared toward a shorter, one-session experience rather than a full hour. The main reason we chose RGB Run was because they offer private rooms, which is a huge plus. I didn't realize, though, that you're limited to just one style of game when booking, so I was a little disappointed they didn't have the specific game I had hoped for. That said, we still had a really fun time and I'd definitely recommend it for groups who want a private experience. Overall, a really enjoyable spot for something different to do with family or friends. I'd give it 4 stars--mainly because of the limited game options--but everything else (especially the service) was great!

Child Creativity Lab takes donated every day items (Lego pieces, empty prescription containers, bottle caps, buttons, wine corks, new popsicle sticks as well as excess items from various companies (excess fabric, plastic bottles, paint, pins, tacks, glue, zippers, etc.) and they put them together in a package so that kids can assemble them them and create a figure like a robot or animal out of all the parts. Before COVID they used to have in house workshops, but now they take the party out to the kids in city community centers, schools, etc. My friend planned a service event here so I came over to help out for a couple of hours. All the parts for the project were laid out at various stations and we went down like an assembly line and filled bags with the items to create a project-in-a-bag for each child. If I was a kid in elementary school receiving a project bag like this to put together with other classmates, I would be totally stoked. If you are interested in donating common household items for them to use, give them a call to see what they do and don't take. You can also arrange to do a service event here with your organization, they have people come in every week to help out. We need more places like this in all communities!

He says he will send me the invoice to pay over the internet. I told him i would pick up from San Diego (more than 100 miles of driving each way!!!) I did not pay yet and asked to change my CPDs to 3 otos. I told him i would like 6 habrosas, at least. When i drove up to santa ana (the next day), with an invoice of 6 habrosas there were only 4 in stock. I understand that Corys prefer larger groups. Had it been disclosed ahead of time that there were only 4 corys, i would not have driven up from SD to Santa ana and the INVOICE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CANCELLED BY THE SELLER If there is not enough stock. There were not even enough otos as i requested. -This wastes my 3 hours of round trip driving (100+ miles) and gas to be short changed. ----------------- -i will have to report this to the BBB as well. -after speaking directly with Nolan, i will wait for his business to rectify this situation before i take additional actions. --------------- Edit on 12/2 after seller's response below: 1. 85 miles or 100 is an approximate. It is a trivial point given that it is a long distance drive from sd to santa ana. The crux of the matter is that you sold me 4 cories when you knew ahead of time i wanted 6. I acknowledge you are closed on Wednesday. You had employees in the shop anyway on Wednesday--they said they had to come in anyway to feed the fish for the long weekend whether i came or not. 2. The invoice i received is an automated email invoice. I can email it to you like. It has 6 cories written on it, not 4. And to your reply i am not looking for other cories, iam looking for the habrosas. 3. You knew i was there to pick up six (that is why the invoice that you personally emailed me stated 6 habrosas, which you wanted me to pay). So Eiither you or your employees did not take stock before you emailed me an invoice or you knew ahead of time that you did NOT have 6 and tried to sell me what you have. 4. The 4 habrosas and the oto cats have SEVERE red gills when they were pre-packed in bags upon my arrival. Either this is due high ammonia or red gills disease. I regret buying them. 5. A local fish store in san diego says it is bacterial and recommends medicine treatment. Since the day i picked them up They have been in medicinal treatment and it is nearly a week where the red gills have been present even with daily water changes and 0 ammonia.. I never had this experience with other local fish stores. 6 aside, i have received unsolicited yelp correspondence from your employee. Note i was courteous with your employees. They did not need to initiate any involvement in yelp which was not appreciated. 7. The only correspondence was that you would send 2 cories free of charge on monday and i would not take further action until we resolve this problem. 8. Please do not send the 2 cories, i am wary of the quality of care from your shop given the state of the cories and oto cats. Going forward I will not be ordering from this "guppy mill". And i will report this to the bbb and to other social media sites

There were a lot of different areas but it was hard for my daughter to actually do anything because the areas were packed and a lot of the items were missing from the areas due to kids moving them around. That's understandable -kids will be kids- but because there were so many kids the staff couldn't keep up with putting the items back in the designated areas. For example, we went to the "mail room" there was literally no mail in it. We went to the tool/building area and there were literally no tools and not enough building materials to build anything. This was pretty much every area we went to. The amount of kids also made it super overstimulating for my daughter. Normally when we go to these kinds of places it's calm and she is actually able to learn, play, interact etc. Lastly, it's expensive. Normally when we go to these kinds of places an adult is included when paying for a child to enter. Here, you have to pay for an adult and child ticket - so it was 44$ for the both of us. Totally not worth the price when it is so overrun.

One of the girls that I was directly talking to asked, "Did you check yet" in a rude tone. Which is fair considering I came in and just asked for it right away. But even when telling them that my friend that was already in there checked, they still were annoyed and looked like they couldn't believe me. They only started setting up when another person came by to ask to set up the net. I get that it's just a part time job, but these workers have some attitude doing a job that they signed up for.
