Everyone in my group enjoyed the course regardless of how far they were able to go. Gilbert and Emily were awesome instructors and made everything easygoing and fun. It might seem terrifying for those who have a fear of heights, but I can guarantee that they'll look back on how fun it was once they're able to conquer the obstacles. My arms are dead from latching onto the ropes with a death grip and I know I'll feel this tomorrow, but I'm sure the fun memories will last even longer.

Very knowledgeable, a true GEM of the zoo!

We went opening weekend on a Saturday and were able to find parking inside within walking distance. Parking was $5. Later in October, parking can get much harder to find. Admission is free, and it's a nice place to walk around with younger kids. There's also a playground, bike rentals, and the OC Zoo nearby, which is only $2 admission. The food is probably a 2/5 for me. It's pricey for what you get, and there aren't many other options once you're inside, so I recommend bringing your own food or eating beforehand. Also, sign up for their newsletter. They sometimes send good deals, including buy one get one free train tickets and promotions like a free $10 pumpkin credit. Go early in the season before the big October crowds.

What stood out the most was the exceptional customer service from the owners, Mike and Mercedes. Their origin story really resonated with me--Mike started this business out of a true passion for art and community, and that dedication completely shines through in how they treat their guests. From the moment we first reached out to inquire all the way through the planning process, Mike was incredibly accommodating and responsive. The venue itself is awesome. It's a really cool, beautifully decorated space that instantly makes you feel creative. They offer a wide selection of projects to choose from, and the team gives you fantastic attention and guidance throughout the entire event. We had a wonderful experience and I am already planning to come back to host future events here. If you are looking for a great venue and unique experience with amazing owners, this is it!

Reposting my review (and changing from a one star to 5 star) to express my satisfaction. (We purchased five tickets for Park Entry plus five tickets for the Obstacle course for 9/6/26. The website stated that the park would be open for the season through 9/6/26 (last day of the season) and we were able to purchase tickets ($250 plus service fees). When we arrived, the park was closed due to rain - no notifications, no contact whatsoever. When we tried to contact the office via phone or e-mail, we receive no response (the phone mailbox was full). Poor business practice to take our money and offer zero service in return.)

My group recently played Edeline and Cloud Escapes' newest room, Kapow Comics. We also had the…read moreopportunity to experience 49 Boxes earlier this year, a unique pop-up event that left a lasting impression. One thing Cloud Escapes does differently from many traditional escape rooms is that they let the story drive the puzzles. Their rooms tend to be very experience-focused, with each puzzle moving the narrative forward. That was especially true in Edeline, where the story felt like the heart of the room. Kapow Comics takes a slightly different approach. While it still has a strong theme, it leans more heavily into the puzzles themselves! The game starts the moment you arrive at the door. Be ready to pay attention from the very beginning. As for 49 Boxes, it's not really an escape room at all. It's a collaborative puzzle experience created by members of the magic community. There are six tables, and depending on where you're seated, you'll encounter a completely different set of mystery boxes. The tables work together to open the collective 49 boxes and ultimately solve one final reveal. It was such a clever concept, and I loved how it encouraged collaboration between complete strangers. Cloud Escapes continues to experiment with different styles of immersive puzzle experiences, and I appreciate that they're willing to take creative risks rather than sticking to the same formula. This escape room company is a must go!

*Be aware of Rattle snakes out on the deeper walking trails during this season*…read moreThis is a fantastic park for families, parties, and individuals who love walking their dogs. Heads up, entrance fee/parking is $3 on weekdays and $5 on weekends. There is so much to see and do here! Snack Bar, Pony rides, a train that travels around the inner part of the park, horseback riding lessons (3rd party company), picnic areas, bike rentals, and giant wheel floating tricycles on the pond! To walk their inner perimeter pathways, where all the trees are, it's about a mile out and a mile back. If you have kids, they will love looking for the ground squirrels or wild peacocks, the train, ponies and more! There is so much wide open grassy space close to parking. There are several parking lots scattered all throughout the park. So you are always close to your care and nature. This last week, I walked a dog every day there and 3 outs of the 5 days, i encountered a rattle snake, not a big deal and it is after all...nature! Theirs was out on the more extensive hiking and walking trails beyond the main area. During spring and summer, it is good to carry a stick to help deter the snakes. I also would not use headphones out on the trails for this reason. Stay alert, and you will stay safe. If you have any concerns, always check in with a park ranger! It can get crowded on the weekends, specifically afternoons when a lot of parties and family gatherings are happening.

The farmers market is small but they have a lot of food options, the fruit stand in the front is more expensive than the other irvine markets but super sweet fruits. The food stalls here are a lot more hospitable and small business/making connections. The park itself has quite a few equestrian places, a small booth near the pony area that takes cash for pony rides and sells tickets for a small train, bathrooms in that area too. Lots of nice grass around for picnics. Overall it was a nice place to walk with a variety of activities to do.
