It is kind of a miniature Dave and Busters with a lot of mechanical type games, some video games, and a big carousel in the middle. We played some air hockey, skeet ball, and a few "drop the claw to grab a prize" games. One of the staff members was restocking an identical machine that we were playing next to us and he gave us a wink and said he'd leave a few items in an easy position which was nice of him. Of course we took advantage of his kindness and nabbed a few small stuffed animals. To play the games, you put cash or a credit card into the token machine and get a plastic token card to use with the various games. I just put in $20 and it was a fun way to kill 20 minutes.

I was just at the aquarium and when I checked in we realized my membership was expired I was there with my daughter and I had 1 more parking pass, I thought my membership expired on the last day of the month since my parking pass expires next month. I'm not the type to ever ask for an exception, so I asked for a curtesy, there was no exception made. There was only a few hours left before the aquarium closes, and I didn't want to disappoint my daughter after we already drove down here and parked I asked if they could make the exception, they said no but that I could buy a ticket for today at the membership price (which wouldn't make sense because the aquarium closes soon). And with this economy it's just not feasible to buy a whole new ticket esp if my membership just recently expired. And we can't renew because we can't make it down here as often as we would like due to logistics. Sad there's no curtesy, my daughter was really excited to go and we supported the aquarium by initially buying the membership to see but now to see the lack of flexibility when asking for a curtesy of a few hours is really disappointing my daughter was really sad and cried. Sad that the aquarium can't provide a curtesy when the membership expire that same month it doesn't cost anything to let a child be there who already paid through a membership for a few hours esp if they are already there in person. Most people who visit the aquarium are kids, they are your main customer m

Everyone was so genuinely nice, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do. ​Exhibits: Impressive and beautifully maintained. The habitats are spotless and naturalistic, housing a fantastic diversity of marine life--including several species I had never seen in person before. ​Parking: Super easy and accessible at just $8 for the entire day, which is a fantastic deal. Ticket prices are very good considering the cost to keep such a huge conservative effort running. ​Highly recommended! There is plenty to see and do for all ages.

Bubblemania was so much fun to have at my nephew's 6th birthday…read more They came right on time with all the supplies: kiddy pools, wands of many shapes, and a ton of bubble solution. The kids LOVED it! And it was great for the adults because the kids never left the bubble stations. There were so many different wands and ways to make bubbles. The lady who came did such a nice job. She was very friendly and so sweet to the kids. Any time someone had trouble, she would patiently show them how to make the bubbles. As the activity went on, she introduced other bubble making tools like a rope. Each new item captivated the kids. In particular, a few of the kids were timid at first. I thought the lady was very kind and encouraging. All of the kids warmed up to her and took part with the bubbles. I was happy to see some adults getting in on the fun as well. And even some parents teaming up with the kids to try to make the biggest bubble possible. It was a ton of fun all around. At the end, everything was cleaned up and taken away. It was a very effortless way to have an outdoor activity for kids. Highly recommend!

I have never had such a quick rude interaction with a company.

This guy seemed an amazing deal price was killer and I thought maybe it just didn't have a lot of fossils and it was a lot of reconstruction. Nowhere on that piece or any of the other pieces if you go through their website, does it say replica the only way you find the word replicas if you go to their website the very first time and go as if you're going to try to book an event and then it says Shop our replicas. I was asking a very simple question when I found out it was a replica. I wasn't rude. I said, cancel my order and they jumped down my throat. It was the rudest thing I've ever experienced and I hope no one ever has to deal with them after reading this.

She did not tell me to go online to book. She did say I had to have a $750 minimum since she'd be coming to San Diego, and I was ok paying the extra. Again, no mention to go online to do this while talking. I can't go back to Tuesday the 22nd on my phone to screenshot my log. But I've posted the 2 calls I made to her Wednesday and the call I made on Thursday. I left messages asking for a call back and that we'd spoken. Let's be clear, they were not booked. I've been looking for a Dino encounter type of company for my sons 4th birthday party. After speaking with several companies who were unavailable, this was the only one who was available. I believe her name is Carrie (maybe jeri?) who owns it. When I originally spoke with her before other companies, the first thing I thought was, she doesn't sound very charismatic nor entertaining. When I learned she was one of the "presenters" is when I searched for another company. Unfortunately no one else was available for my date so I called back. I spoke with her Monday about booking and she confirmed availability but said she was in the car and would call me back later to finish booking. Ok, great. She didn't call me back. I called her back Tuesday afternoon and left a message. Same thing Wednesday, I called a few times to follow up and pay. No response. Today, Thursday, I called and got a hold of her. She apparently has booked someone in my spot since we spoke. I am sooo angry. When we hung up Monday, I would have paid if she'd told me how instead said she was driving and we'd handle later. So I assumed we had our spot. When I reminded her of this, she told me I needed to understand she speaks to a lot of people every day and she had car troubles which she had to fix and handle. Quite frankly, I do understand things happen BUT how do you confirm someone else when you already told someone else they had that spot. Im furious but it may be for the best as I can not imagine her type of personality entertaining a bunch of 4 year olds. Terrible way to run your business. Look for a different company!!! I do NOT recommend. If you follow my reviews, I do NOT typically give out 1 star reviews and I'm very fair. But this review deserves it as they completely left me hanging for a party!

I had my little one with me as well and I had planned to take her to the park or the beach everyday. However, I got myself sunburned and needed to take a break from the outdoors for a spell. I found Kid Town and it was a lifesaver. We met so many nice people and my daughter made lots of friends. The employees were wonderful and helpful too. They were very patient with my daughter when she wanted to try the rock wall. My only gripe is that I made the mistake of not buying the pass and ended up paying more than I could have. So worth the price!

While the place itself is a lot of fun for kids, unfortunately, our experience with the staff was…read morevery disappointing. I brought my four children here for a friend's birthday party, and on multiple occasions, the workers' attitudes made it difficult to remain calm. I have two children on the autism spectrum, ages 5 and 7. My 5-year-old son, who has mild to moderate autism, had difficulty understanding the worker's instructions for getting into the harness to climb the wall. Instead of showing patience and understanding, the worker repeatedly rolled her eyes and sighed, which was very upsetting to witness. I understand that working with children can be challenging, but I expected the staff to be more patient and accommodating, especially with children who may need additional time or assistance. Unfortunately, because of this experience, we will not be returning.
