The conductor Edgar is not as welcoming and his pace is off. It either is too fast, too slow and can jolt. The main reason the score is not higher is because it is a little run down and scenery is not maintained well.

I wonder if they plan on putting a playground or something in its place. I think that would be a nice spot for a playground so that there's more to do than just the train. The train ride itself is 10-15 mins and they have the area decorated depending on the holiday. We went near Easter and they had bunnies, eggs, carrots, etc all inside. Really nice. If you used to go here as a kid, definitely come back with your kids. Nostalgia will hit and it'll be just as you remembered it.

There's a cafe, a small water park like attraction, the Minions Mayhem ride off to the side, a kiddie ride, some carnival games and the merchandise shop. You can meet a Minion near the Minions Mayhem ride entrance or you can do the photo op with the statues. I always make sure to take a picture with the little rubber ducky one. So cute.

We had over 20 kids (about 60 ppl total) and did the weekend 3hr option. We had kids ranging from 1.5 years to 4 years old, and literally everyone had something to play with. I was worried it'll be too crowded, but it wasn't! Many of my guests commented how non-stimulating the environment was and complimented me on the venue choice. The price is also very reasonable, especially compared to other indoor playground packages nearby. The staff also helped with providing wheeled carts(?) to move our catering items and gifts. We also have been here on 2 or 3 occasions just for free play, and my child always has a blast. We'll definitely be back again!

How cool is it to live somewhere where you can just visit the old zoo while taking a stroll through…read morethe park? Pretty cool if you ask me. After living in LA for just under two years my wife and I figured it was about time we actually checked this place out. We came here with all three of our dogs on a Sunday morning and it was a really cool experience. When you arrive to Griffith Park all you really have to do is follow the signs and it'll lead you right to a small parking lot, usually also loaded with man-made signs for kids birthday parties and such. Once you park, you have to follow a trail and walk up a slight hill for like two minutes before you are suddenly staring at some old enclosures and such. These enclosures are fully open, meaning you can walk right up to them, inside of them, and check them out yourself. If you follow the path a little more you are able to go up a hill and explore behind the bigger exhibits (which I was unable to do this day thanks to some recent lung issues). I have no idea how big the actual old zoo area is, but the area we saw was really freaking cool and definitely has me itching to come back when I'm 100% in order to see everything. Overall, The Old Zoo is cool chance to go back in time for free and experience old some Los Angeles. The park is free, parking is free, and guess what? Checking out the old zoo is free too. You really can't go wrong with some slight exploration and cool photo opportunities. I look forward to coming back soon and exploring some more.

Not anything huge to see, but something unique if you're wanting to do a hiking trail anyway.read more

This is such a cute spot for a low cost birthday party! While we were only attendees recently at my…read moreson's classmate's party, I can't imagine booking one of the picnic areas for a party to be any more expensive than it is at a regular park ... but normal parks don't have a huge number of full sized trains laying around, a train museum, and a rideable train (only $2-3 per ticket) that goes around the whole place! If your kid is a train lover, this is a great FREE place to visit. I still can't believe it was free lol. There's a play place for kids inside the museum, but you have to provide your own train toy for the tracks there. There's a gift shop near the museum where you can buy those. We bought our son one of those that you pull backwards, then it goes fast in forward motion on its own. Totally worth the $12 price tag because he hasn't put it down since, and even sleeps with it lol. You can't get into any of the trains, BUT there is a black one under the awning where many of them are that you CAN go up into. The kids were obsessed. There's plenty of space on the property to setup a picnic for the day that doesn't involve having to rent one of the covered spots. We were there for 3-4 hours walking around the grounds with the kids - a huge group of 3-7 year olds - and none of them got bored.

We went not…read morereally knowing what to expect, and ended up staying way longer than planned because the kids were having so much fun. Everything is super colorful and set up in a way that actually keeps them entertained instead of getting bored after 10 minutes. One thing I really appreciated was how clean it was. That's always my biggest concern with indoor play places, and this one felt really well taken care of. The staff were also really nice and present without being overbearing, which made the whole experience feel easy and comfortable. There's a good mix of things to do too--areas for younger kids and enough going on for slightly older ones so no one feels left out. It's one of those places where kids can just run around and be kids while parents can actually sit for a second and breathe. Overall, it just felt easy, fun, and stress-free. Definitely a spot I'd come back to or recommend to other parents looking to get their kids out of the house.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but parents considering hosting a party at this Playground should…read morebe aware of my experience. Planning my toddler's birthday with them was unnecessarily stressful because communication was consistently poor. Calls and texts often went unanswered for over a week, and because they do not offer face-to-face meetings, there was no reliable way to resolve questions. When I voiced concern, I was told my event was still months away and I was "not a priority," which was incredibly unprofessional and made me feel dismissed as a customer. Unfortunately, the problems continued with the event itself. I was promised three party helpers for an event with 80 guests, including many children, but only two were provided, which was inadequate support. While I have payed for their highest full party package they did not have a lighter to light the birthday candles. They also told me that I have to bring my own ice for beverages. I had also specifically requested a fairy character, and only a few days before the party I was informed the fairy was unavailable. Even more concerning, I was told I had never requested one in the first place. I had to provide screenshots proving I had made that request. Had I not kept documentation, my concern would have simply been denied. The most disappointing part was the pattern of poor communication, defensiveness, and failure to honor what was promised. After sharing my experience, several friends told me they had gone through similar issues, so this does not appear to be an isolated incident. We used to come here regularly for open play, but after this experience, neither my friends nor I have returned. The facility may be enjoyable for children, but based on customer service and event coordination alone, I would not recommend booking a party here.

I never thought I'd make an account specifically to write a review, but my experience at Funko on…read moreTuesday was uncomfortable enough that I felt I needed to share it. I was shopping with a couple of friends, and throughout our visit, we felt like we were being followed and watched by a male who appeared to be an employee. Curly hair dark skinned. We felt uncomfortable for most of the time we were in the store. As we were leaving, I saw him stop someone near the door and ask about keychains that person had in their pocket. I don't know the full story behind that situation, so I won't make assumptions about it. I also noticed him interacting/flirting with a female employee with curly hair who was working on the shelves, which came across as very unprofessional while customers were shopping. If this person is an employee, I really hope management looks into the situation. Customers should be able to shop without feeling uncomfortable or like they are being watched or followed. My experience was disappointing, and it definitely affected how I felt about shopping at the store.
