I love the natural lighting inside this 4-5 multi-room arcade with a small indoor common space to rest or eat. Load money on an electronic card and the tickets are stored onto the card as well.

Best of luck to this place as there was very light foot traffic on a Saturday afternoon of President's Day long weekend. #4/2020

My 4 year old loved the different zones and kept jumping from one section to another. While we were there we joined the science activity and my toddler made an interesting airplane. It was a little busy in the afternoon on a Saturday mainly due to birthday parties. They only have one bathroom so be aware that you might have to wait in line especiallyif theres a party. Other than that, for $10 my kid had a great time for a couple of hours. We'll come when we visit Santa Cruz again.

It comes with 4 chairs and the option to add two more and the ability to order concessions prior to the show that get delivered to your table. As we showed up, big parking lot as it's located in the mall lot. Nicely done- 5 portapottys inside the tent, little concessions stand and souvenir section. The inside is small, but the seating gives you and your guest plenty of space between you and others. The show is mythical, more of fairies, Pegasus, snow daughters and such, but is an amazing experience for the whole family. Lots of acrobatics, cute little costumes and lots of laughs- especially the Pegasus! The staff is friendly, and it's just an amazing experience. My girls 3&5 said it was their favorite circus yet! The snowball fight was their favorite part of the show, and the trampoline act. We can't wait to come back next year! Definitely worth the drive, and a bargain for the show!

But as of recently he's changed the pay out to 300 or 350 depending on the amount of people who show up he says. But originally he said it didn't matter how many people came that's why the price went up and now he's changing it up if that's the case than lower your price back to the original price or cut a couple games down to keep the payout at $500 or up your buy in price . I mean fair is fair u can't go back and what you say it's unprofessional . And don't keep using the and the back of the paper but in it says. If so & so show up we only pay this much cause that's not what you said originally!!

Cat (Boss Lady) and her Crew have created a space where everyone feels welcome, regardless of income level, or any other status. The programs for dancers are tailored so that each individual dancer feels seen and honored for her/his skills. The 'companies' take the dancers to another level, where they can jump off when ready and move into the worldwide dance community with confidence in knowing they have developed themselves for more than just awesome dancers. They create leadership skills, faith in community, and a feeling of knowing they can do what they want with their lives.

Museum permit parking on Pilkington if you're lucky to find a spot (you do need to obtain the permit inside). A nature walk to explore and learn about the tide pooling at Scott Creek is among various programs and workshops offered by the museum regularly. And the lady at the front counter was friendly and shared interesting stories behind some of the items on display. There were a few live critters on site like the rosy boa near the fake snakes, and guests could even touch the sea creatures in the tide pool. Also, see and learn about plant and animal fossils and the history of paleontology in the Santa Cruz area. The animal displays were creatively set up, as well as a redwood tree ring. Lots of bird species, ducks, owls, and the golden eagle, even an interactive exhibit where guests could hear the bird calls of the song sparrow, hermit thrush, and pacific slope flycatcher, among others. My favorite exhibits were the banana slug display describing the importance of being slimy, and of course the black-tailed jackrabbit, cuz I like all things "rabbit". I also checked out the gift shop before leaving, with a variety of cute and creative products and souvenirs for sale, a great way to support the museum.

We hired VR-XP for our son's 14th birthday and the kids had a blast. VR-XP brought in all equipment and did the setup in about 20 minutes. The kids had a blast. For a young entrepreneur Spence has a great handle on customer experience and it shows when he was interacting with the kids. He explained everything and made the kids feel comfortable with all the gear. He even wiped the gear down with an antiseptic wipe between each kid. Would highly recommend supporting this local young-man owned business
