Definitely worth your time and money! The whole time all I can think about is how they put up the tent and how the staff travels throughout cities on a yearly basis. That was impressive to me from the get-go. I was also impressed way how they don't waste time and are always doing something to entertain you even while they are changing sets. I have gone the last two years in a row and I love bringing clients. This is definitely a pattern breaking entertainment it's different from most shows you'll see. This show gets five stars from me!

Fantastic experience! Had several moments where everyone's jaw dropped and gasping. Kids had lots of fun.

This review is for the shows at the Great Park location in 2015. This location was easily accessible and had plenty of free parking. Got discount tickets through Groupon. It was good family entertainment for the price and a lot cheaper than Cirque. Don't over dress as there is not much air ventilation inside the tent. By the way, there are 2-for-1 deals and coupons to be had if you look hard.

We went to the show in Laguna hills. Everyone loved it especially our little kids. This will be a yearly activity for us going forward.

Suggestions on where to sit w 3 year old.?

I would say a three year old might be a little young still. Parts are very loud . The show was great for children 5 and up I would say.Hope this helps.

Mine made a custom water bottle and spent a solid amount of time carefully choosing the perfect glitter situation. Safe to say... it made her entire day. Great creative stop if you're at the Spectrum with kids. Expect sparkle, serious crafting focus, and one very proud kid walking out with their masterpiece.

We have never tufted rugs before, so this was a great new experience together :) The workers were super helpful and nice. They walked us through how to use the tufting gun and we practiced before getting to the rug. It was easy to project our image onto the canvas, and then we were off!! It took around 3 hours of nonstop tufting for a Small rug. It was definitely an arm workout! But so fun. It was a little toasty in there though, so dress accordingly. We came back later to pick up the rugs - super efficient and it turned out beautiful. I would come back again to create a huge rug together sometime :-)

With the cosmic, neon glow, maybe even futuristic vibes at this game shop, you might find it fun to catch a stuffy Pokemon, or a Sanrio character, or something for a loved one. This place can be fun, romantic, or just a place to kill time. But there's no doubt, plenty of cuteness in this store. To the left side from the entrance, are the collector cards, trinkets, and anime figurines. This is where you'll catch the staff if you want to check out things behind the counters.

Overall poor customer service. The two people working there were behind the counter chitchatting only acknowledging customers when they came up to the counter. They were not out walking around, checking the machines, making sure the prizes were stacked properly or in a way that would encourage someone to win. Many of the machines were either almost empty or half empty. Along those lines, several of the machines were not working. The the value here is also terrible. Tokens cost approximately $.50 per token, it can be slightly less if you buy in bulk. However, there are no machines less than two tokens per play. Most machines are 3 to 6 tokens per play! There are no self service token machines since they do charge tax for the tokens. The prizes that are won cannot be exchanged for other prizes like many other places will do. This was really disappointing to my child. So a poor value along with poor overall service make for a poor overall experience. Looking at the posted pictures it's as if the owners just stopped trying after the grand opening.

Today I had the wonderful opportunity conversing with the homeowner again he loves to share how he made each individual character from common items, such as washtubs, potato sacks, Water cans, etc. He mentioned that he does it for the community, especially the children. Furthermore, I found out today that as we grow closer to Christmas / winter holiday the outdoor decorations transitions/change into more of a Christmas theme (as the movie itself does) And as we get closer to December 25, he's going to put up a Christmas tree, and then the stockings! I love slowly driving by here, especially with a passenger, who's never seen the house before and is shocked at how beautifully done it is! In conclusion, we give Much thanks to the homeowner and the neighborhood for having this heartfelt display for all to enjoy !

For years we hoped to stop by, but life kept getting busy and we never quite made it--until now. On our very first visit, we were lucky enough to meet the homeowners themselves. They generously walked our four kids through each creation and section, encouraging them to ask questions and even sharing their own favorite parts of the movie that inspired it all. Watching our kids light up during that interaction made the experience even more special. What makes this display even more incredible is knowing that every single character in the yard is handcrafted by the homeowners themselves. The time, care, and love poured into this display is undeniable. A truly magical experience created by genuinely amazing people. We are so grateful we finally made the visit--and it's now a holiday memory our family will cherish.

I would like to see how my pottery actually came out before giving a review however i will talk…read moreabout my experience. it seems as the staff may not be as trained as much as they should be. she told us to pick a vessel and to sit. when we did she just gave us supplies and said tell me what color you guys want. we were necessarily greeted or given directions and the girls weren't very attentive either. one girl was talking on the phone the entire time while she was working and another girl was working on her own pottery. we basically had to ask for everything. now pricing... yes their processing fee is listed on their website however the girl helping us did not relay that information to us so if i hadn't booked online i would've been surprised at the end what my total was. i will say i was still surprised my total was over $100 because their processing fee was $12 for firing EACH of the pottery piece. everywhere else ive been to has been less than $8 each... i usually always check yelp just incase and i knew i should've because for $100 i don't feel like the experience was worth it. once i receive both pottery dishes (which from some people on yelp have said theirs is messed up) ill update my review. they also had a point system where u can build points up and they told me they don't know how to get to it but they completely bypassed it when i was paying.

It's good to note you need to book a time online. The class is only $45 and then you pay separately for the frame -- they have different sizes and finishes. When you check in, you'll sign a form and then watch an instructional video on how to make the piece. After that, you can get your tweezers, tray and start choosing the dried flowers you'd like to use. They also have premium flowers that range from around $3 - $5 if you want something extra special. This is truly a one of a kind experience, and while some may say it's expensive, it would be even more to buy in a store. Plus, you're paying for the instruction, memories, materials and art that lasts a lifetime!

A perfect event for a team building or family event. There were a few kids in the class that looked like they were having fun. The instructions were very clear, and the timing was perfect. The instructors leading the class were helpful for guiding the design if asked. I do think they could take a bit more time to frame at the end so everything dries a bit further. It's in a big mall so plenty to do while we wait for that. Would do again!

There was also bottled drinks like tea in a glass container behind the bar area. The food was decent pub food. There was plenty of parking. I liked that they had board games and pinball machines available. I had an enjoyable time here. The downsides were that the place was a bit small and hot during the summer with only fans running. Drinks: I like drinks on the sweeter side. The bartender was nice and let me try different flavors to pick what I like. * Seltzer - Baja Blast 5/5 - Good sweet drink that didn't feel like I'm drinking alcohol. * Ube Painkilla 3.5/5 - Pretty drink, light purple. A bit sweet, but had a cough syrup aftertaste. * Cider drink 4/5 - Kinda like an apple cider drink, but more beer-y. * Soju Cocktail - Didn't get this. I thought it'd be sweet from the online menu. Apparently it has a ginger and serrano chili pepper taste, so not what I wanted. FOOD: * BBQ Wings 4/5 - Juicy and flavorful wings. * Lemon Pepper Wings 3/5 - Not bad, but kinda dry and really sour. * Cesar Salad 4/5 - Who orders salad for a game night? Jk. It was actually pretty good. Plenty of dressings and shaved cheese on top. * Pretzel Bites 3.5/5 - Dense pretzel bread bites with sea salt on top. * Flatbread 3.5/5 - Flatbread okay. Ours came with shredded pork on top that was kinda dry and had no flavor. * Fried Wonton 2/5 - Crispy wontons filled with cream cheese. The cream cheese was a bit much to eat. * Egg Rolls 2/5 - Crispy vegetable egg rolls. Had a bitter aftertaste.
