Dress code: closed toe shoes Instructions were pretty simple, with form and feet placement. You can try 2-handed or single hand throws, with 3 different sizes of axes. It was crowded, so I used axe target lanes with no metal barrier between them, but this worked out fine since my boyfriend used the other lane. Axe retrieval after each throw is recommended due to the damage fees charged if the axe thrown hits another axe. I definitely will be back to do more axe throwing and maybe try knife throwing while I'm at it.

Our tour guide Courtney was awesome, especially for being 103 yrs old! she made it super fun, kept a good pace, answered lots of questions and had the perfect vibes for hosting. Anyways, my ghost story was somewhere between the transition from the 1st and 2nd floors, just after the room with the piano music playing, my cousin and I were chatting not even during one of the guided portions it was literally during the walking part and someone clear as day shushed me right in my ear, but there wasn't anyone next to us, and my cousin didn't hear the aggressive "shhhhhh!!!". It was weird and freaky, but not scary. Super fun experience, great to learn so much about Sarah and her eccentric life - she's my kind of heiress!

Sarah Winchester is an interesting woman in local history, so we decided to tour San Jose's…read moreWinchester Mystery House. Booked and paid for our reservation online. I received an immediate confirmation and additional info, like parking, etc., which I appreciated. They also texted a reminder 24 hours ahead. Parking was a breeze and their lot wasn't full, but that may have been due to it being a dreary Sunday in April. The grounds are nice and we enjoyed walking around a bit before our tour. Lots of vibrant flowers and everything appeared well cared for. There was a private wedding party going on, so some of the grounds were blocked off. Our tour guide, Savanna, was very knowledgeable and seemed to really understand and care about the history of the house. The only problem we had was the size of the group we were put in. Most of the rooms are quite small, as are the hallways and staircases. We couldn't all fit in the room to hear her speak so missed some of what she said. There was another group right behind us, and sometimes I could hear that guide better than my own. They offer discounts for seniors and kids 12 and under, but otherwise is a bit pricey at $48 for adults to spend an hour walking through the house. I was disappointed that none of the furnishings are original. It's just been staged with furniture from the approximate period. We also paid for the basement access, and at $13 each (no discounts) it was an absolute waste. Very little to see there. It's just a basement. The cafe was closed while we were there, which was disappointing. Interesting to read about Sarah Winchester and her house, but not really worth the price to visit.

Cute event and opportunity to launch water lanterns and reflect. Check in is smooth and there are a…read moregood number of food vendors for the event. Things that can be improved are: More guidance towards timing of when to decorate your lantern and a provided template. They bring people on stage to share, but maybe there should be an anonymous reading as well. I personally think the event is better in fall because the crowds in summer were too noisy for the performances and meditation. Bring your own picnic blanket and water!

This was my first year to attend. There were so many people that I must have been the only one…read morethat didn't know about this event before!! We got there later in the evening and the place was packed, couldn't find a place to park and had to walk a bit of a distance. We found the place to check in and got a small package with everything we needed to make our water lantern. All the grassy areas were full, so we found a place to sit and draw on the embankment in front of the fence that lines the water. We loved the games that were in the kit, my partner was called as he was a winner of the scavenger hunt! We joined everyone to put our lantern into the water. We were one of the first. When we returned to our vantage point, we could view a current of people and lights heading to the water, melodic music was playing in the background, and the beauty of the night sky created the perfect setting. It was a lovely event for couples, families, friends and groups to enjoy a delightful evening in a very large community. Things to note: ~Get there early for easy parking and a good seat on the grass ~Bring a blanket to sit on ~Bring extra markers as they only give you one color in your kit ~Meet your neighbors and enter the scavenger hunt! You may win a fun prize

Took my niece and nephew here and my nephew kept screaming "best day ever" while running around, so…read moreI'd say this place is a resounding success! We went at around 9 pm on July 4th and there was still a lot of people but not enough to dampen the experience thankfully. Tickets are easy to grab online and there is ample parking available because it's in the great mall. When we first walked in we were greeted with lots and lots of foam. Foam in the air like its snowing, and foam on the ground. My nephew was so excited and kept running through it excitedly which was cute. We were also told the last show of the day was about to start so we luckily caught it. Loved watching all 3 performers - aerial, juggling, and hoops. From there we just walked around and saw as much as we could. The little rooms they have with different decorations and aesthetics are great for pictures and selfies. There are so many good photo ops that I basically spent an hour being the munchkins personal photographer :) was a great time

It is so fun to see them laughing and skipping and jumping around. It really melts my heart. Yeah. Lots of photo ops for all of us. The exhibit also had a small acrobatic performance and a show that a transformer changed into the robot from the car. This was not communicated. We figured out when it was too late. Wish these timeline were either on their website for informed when people checked in. The flowers are beautiful to look at but it had the plastic smell. Also there are some rooms that we just can't breathe with so much chemicals..: hence one star off

They are super patient, great at teaching newbies and helping you when you get stuck. They've taught my 10 year old how to be an expert tufter :) They even accommodated an earlier start time for our party of 4 to help us with our schedule. Every experience has been great and we love it. Danny and Antony are super responsive too. Definitely give this place a try - you'll love it! We'll be coming back with friends to do a birthday party~

Came here with my friend for a crafting date and we had fun! It was stressful, but fun!…read more To begin, we showed the staff members what we wanted to create (we were advised via text ahead of time to think of something). Then, we traced our drawing into the canvas after the staff member projected our picture. From there, we did a ~30 minute tutorial on how to tuft. We were also able to practice during the tutorial to get the hang of it (hands-on training). From there, we were able to work on our rugs! Staff members were available for support as well if we had questions / needed help. After we were done, staff members came around to make sure we got everything, then worked with us to shave down and vacuum the rugs. Overall, this was a fun experience mixed with a workout from the tufting tools. Miscellaneous: - Parking is available via shared parking lot with other businesses - When you book your reservation online and provide your credit card information, that is just to hold your place. You will need to pay before leaving the studio - Bathroom is located in their shop next door - Walk-ins welcome, but ability to get in depends on how busy it is - For people with long hair: recommend bringing a hair tie as you'll need to tie your hair back (they have ties in case you forget)

The first time we came during opening week, we didn't realize reservations were required and weren't able to play. This time, we made a reservation in advance and everything went smoothly. We arrived for our 6 PM reservation and were greeted by the host right away. While we waited, we grabbed a couple of drinks to kick off the night, which definitely added to the overall vibe. The atmosphere is lively but still relaxed--perfect for a fun and casual date night. Overall, it was a friendly environment with a great ambiance. Definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time if you're planning to come, especially during busy hours. We'll definitely be back!

And we went on a day that was kind of busy so we started at hole 9 I think. Then came back around. Some holes are more challenging than others. Overall a very unique set up with some fun themes. Definitely worth a try! There is a private area upstairs for event that can be rented out for those looking for something different.

We did the Spider-Man game and I was honestly surprised at the fun we had. It had slow parts where each player takes turns but also times when we both played. I'm not sure a larger group would be as much fun because it looked like those games are more turn based.

Parking is easiest in lot E and there were plenty of spots available. The workers were friendly and gave good advice on where to sit, which is toward the back and in the center. We got there 20 minutes early which was perfect because there were only a few people waiting outside the door. Around 15 minutes before the show, they opened the doors, and we were able to snag the best seats. The seats are decently comfortable and you can rest your head against the back for the show; I've been in more comfortable recliners but it was adequate. The laser show was very good - had some of the best Daft Punk music and a variety of lasers from just syncing to the beat of the music to drawing out storylines. The show ended up being about 45 minutes total from start to end and I would definitely go again.
