The theatre is beautiful, spacious, and comfortable, and every seat provides a perfect view of the stage. The band's sound was very good, and the lighting was great.

It was fun, and each band member and singer gave it their all. I can't wait to return for another performance at this venue.

He is a little obsessed with Christmas and the Citrus College Theater but why not?? The theater is beautiful and comfortable, complete with a symphony pit that rises up and down. It is a beautifully modern building with its entrance flanked by a couple vertical mosaic tile "pictures" of trees, one of which is my cell screen saver I liked it so much. See picture. The production is about 2 hours plus about a 15 minute intermission, not too long, not too short. And the intermission breaks the show into two parts, the choir and bells performance of the Citrus Singers first followed by the year's Christmas play complete with appearances by Santa and Mrs. Claus. I'm a 52 year old man and I thought I'd never say this but the choir and bells performances are wonderful. Maybe I'm getting old! No, seriously, they performers are fantastic and I absolutely love how the director and his assistant (?) vary the songs ever year with new and creative arrangements. They even did a mashup kind of thing with overplaying verses of two classic Christmas songs. It is truly amazing how the performers remember all the nuances and keep up with zero .mistakes year after year. My absolute favorite part of the first part of the show is when the director adds some comedy into the mix and has the new performers overemphasize their lack of experience and how the senior performers are rather blasé about giving yet another performance year after year. Come on, that's funny! Oh, and how one performer sits and waits to play her one bell note. Okay, it's cute. I also like how they've added some very creative percussionists and dancers at the end of the first half, too. This year's play is called "Christmas is..." and as I type, you've got 3 days left to see it! It is a very cute and creative play involving performers playing various candy bars you know and love as the plot thickens in the Land of Candy. I will leave it at that so as not to give too much away. Again, the length of each performance is perfect because I tend to get antsy. My kids (13 & 16) also loved it and look forward to the play every year. Tickets range from a very reasonable $17-$35 and I think you'd have a good seat anywhere although my BIL always chooses the front or 2nd rows. We also went to see a Rock Band do cover songs back in February this year and it was also great and you can see that my son absolutely loved every second of it. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND for some near professional quality theater.

AMAZING, fun, and exciting family-owned and operated circus…read more My family and I have visited this traveling circus countless times for the past four years in numerous cities throughout California, and each year, new acts are added to the performance, keeping this circus fresh for the entire family. Every single performer works HARD to perfect their routine and role in the performance. This is a small circus, so the same performers who electrify the crowd with unbelievable, dangerous, and exciting routines also serve as ticket takers, ushers, and food and souvenir vendors. My family and I will forever be fans of the Marinelli Bros Circus

There were several places with great photo ops. The little ones loved the free face painting. Visitors can walk around the facilities and meet the livestock. There are horses, sheep and cattle. Students are more than willing to help educate you on the animals and their care. They can even tell you about each animal's personality and they encourage you to pet and interact with the animals they have out. In the large corral, they have horse rides available. Children, please remember to have a parent or other adult to authorize the ride. Adults can walk alongside younger children riding on the horses. My favorite part was the hayride. A trailer hitched to a tractor is driven around the grounds. You get a nice view of the fields and horses. Kids get to wave at people as they ride around. There is also pumpkin patch where you can select a pumpkin to take home for a small donation. Popcorn and coffee were offered for free but other treats like pizza were provided for a nominal fee. They even had a cake walk and you had the chance to bring home a dessert for a small charge. It's a fun little community event. 2015 was the 2nd annual, and we are definitely looking forward to this event for 2016.

Visitors are greeted by colorful and festive lights as soon as they approach the entrance. There's plenty of security, some armed that watch over the crowd. Staff in yellow jackets will direct visitors. Overall, it's pretty well organized and a friendly group. The main attraction is the light show that takes place every 1/2 hour. This year (2019) the story was about Jesus accompanied by music and synchronized light show. It's pretty good. Next to the light show is set up like a little village. One tent allows kids to do crafts. Others have hot cider or cocoa. Members are dressed in biblical characters and offer to tell stories of God. There's also a sign that points to the Cafe. It's essentially a carnival style trailer that sells drinks and snacks with a limited menu. This year, there are also tables set up that sold everything from cupcakes to skewers. We tried their chicken and bbq pork skewers, and they were all good at an amazing price. Sadly, I overheard someone say this is their last year. There are donation boxes placed throughout, as well as garbage bins. So be generous and responsible, make a nice donation and don't litter. There are even staff members that bring photo lights and offer to help you take family pictures. The Lights on Miracle Hill is a great way to spend an evening if you're not driving too far. Need to know: You'll need to park in the surrounding neighborhood. There is no public parking lot. There are no valets. You'll just have to drive around and look for a spot. You may get lucky, or if you aren't lazy, go farther than where others aren't willing to go. Homeowners's driveways are marked by cones. So obey them and don't block anyone's path. Even though they have heat lamps, dress warm See my photos!

FREE FREE! Had this Christmas light show bookmarked for the longest and finally made it out today…read more Winter wonderland is how I would describe it. The show starts 10 minutes from the actual time they announce online. Giving people who are running late, some leeway. The music, songs and the church itself is breathtaking. If you come early enough, you can grab a seat, otherwise your standing but honestly there are no bad seats/standing area. At the end of the show, there are volunteers that will take pics for you & even hold hand held lights up to give you the perfect selfie/pic. It does get packed, so come early to find parking. Also, reserve free tickets online 1st, there were two lines, one with tickets, one without, the one without was long. They also sell food, balloon lights, drinks, hot chocolate and areas for kid activities. Can't wait to come back next year and make this a yearly tradition. P.S. also, a lot of the homes put cones on the sidewalks to block people from parking right in front of their house. They can't do that, its public right of way, so just move the cone and park.

Cal Poly Pomona Pumpkin Festival *October 9th, 2026…read more*5:30pm- Friday *3.5 Stars Environment: *Moderate Sized Parking Lot *Outside Seating *Information Station *Events: Pumpkin Patch Corn Maze, Rubber Duck Races, Petting/Feeding Zoo, Hay Rides, Music/DJ *Access to Farm Store Food/Drinks: *Food Trucks Available *Snack Vendors Available Went to the Cal Poly Pomona Pumpkin Festival for Alumni Opening Day with my sister, who graduated from here, and my mom. Overall, it was a good experience with lots of activities to enjoy, plenty of staff around, and information booths where you could learn more about the different services and events. There was also a good variety of food trucks and snack vendors, and I liked having access to the farm store. However, I do think there are a few areas that could be improved. Getting into the event was somewhat confusing, with three separate lines for alumni/family, families of current students, and scholarship attendees. The lines weren't clearly distinguished, and there were only two tablets being used for all three lines, making it difficult to tell where we were supposed to go. Once we got inside, we were given wristbands and tickets, but no one explained what the tickets were for or how to use them. Although there were plenty of activities advertised, not everything was open during our visit. The event layout also felt a little crowded, especially around the information booths, which were close together and made it difficult to explore with so many people around. Having a map showing where all the activities were located would have been helpful. For example, the corn maze and hay rides were tucked away in a corner without clear signage, and we only found them because our group happened to wander in that direction. I'm glad we did, though, because I really enjoyed the corn maze, and the staff in that area were very friendly! Parking was another area that could use improvement. Luckily, visitors with handicap placards were able to park across the street in paved spots for easier access. For everyone else, cars were parked on a field adjacent to the event with uneven ground and holes, making it difficult to walk, especially for older visitors or anyone with an unsteady gait. There also weren't clearly marked parking spaces or lanes, so figuring out how to leave was confusing. With only one entrance and exit, traffic could become difficult when leaving. While there were plenty of staff members throughout the event, it would have been nice to have some stationed at popular photo spots to help take pictures, such as by the pumpkin patch hill sign or Cal Poly Pumpkin sign as you enter. Lastly, the farm store was open, but many items were already out of stock less than an hour into the event. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and appreciated the variety of activities available. With clearer check-in lines, better communication about the wristbands and tickets, improved signage and parking organization, and better stocking of the farm store, I think the festival could be even more enjoyable for visitors. I appreciate Cal Poly Pomona continuing to put on this event year after year, especially since it's closer to home compared to other pumpkin and fall festivals that can take 2-3 hours to get to. Despite a few areas for improvement, it's a fun local event with lots of potential, and I'm glad we had the opportunity to attend!

Parking was the challenge and the closer you want to park, the more you wait! Park farther on the streets and just walk, you might be able to trick or treat along the way. This year, the jumpers were free, parents must sign a waiver (preregistration was available online until 1pm same day). Unfortunately, the lines for each jumper was soooo long! Roughly 30-40min wait and so many families were saving space for other families so the two kids in front of me became 8! Drink or treat was way too long, stretched across the baseball field and you enter the parking lot side to get candy. The games had a line as well, they might have given out candy and prizes if you win? It was too long and we didn't wait. Food being sold was scarce, we ordered a burrito from the birria truck and after waiting roughly 15-20min and told to wait another 20min we just asked for a refund and decided to eat elsewhere given how late and cold it was getting. Overall, so many people! Might go elsewhere for Halloween night.

So its time for Halloween and in this time of super sicko's who will spike candy for kids, what are…read moreyou going to do to avoid it? Well this is a great option if you don't mind the lines. Literally its time to go to a city or church sponsored event where you can play games for candy prizes, enjoy a few inflatables, and get a bite to eat from a food truck or three. This was the second time that the Munchkin and have been here for this event. We came in 2011 just after having moved to Temple City and now in 2013 as well. The event has grown significantly in the last two years. This is both good and bad. Bad as the lines are even longer, good in that there is more incorporated into the event. Pro Tip: Arrive early with a group of at least 2 adults, 3 or 4 would be preferable. The early arrival and the large group of adults allows one adult to take the kids around while the other adults wait in lines allowing the kids to play the games, get candy, or go on the inflatables/jumper without having to stand around bored. They also have a raffle for a boys and girls bike, toy/candy packages, and pontification by local officials (ie the mayor). The fact that the city does this is an awesome thing IMHO. I know that I appreciate a place to go where the candy can be trusted to be safe and that there is a positive vibe. This park is entirely surrounded by single family homes and this also allows many of the participants to go door to door traditional trick or treating. This is both good and bad. Since the parents must be ever vigilant about the candy and treats that are obtained. Overall this Halloween festival is a hit. I am sure that I would go back again. However I hope to go back with additional parents and a larger group of munchkins, perhaps even a pack. Who knows maybe I will see you there...
