Her customer service was truly amazing. We arrived when there were two birthday parties happening making the place a bit....busy. However, Sam made my small party of 3 feel welcomed & included. She took the time to explain everything clearly and kept the atmosphere fun. Although Sam was amazing, I also have to say that I was able to witness the other employees and how well they took care of the birthdays. They were patient, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care that every guest was having fun and felt included. It's rare to come across a whole team who puts that much effort and enthusiasm into their job, and it made our visit memorable. Thank you for the amazing service and positive attitude. Employees like this are a huge reason people want to come back. Highly recommend this place because of the exceptional staff!

As a new pinball guy, I am intrigued with how they work. I have been buying broken low priced machines and repairing them for resale. I have had a nice little run of 10+ machines in about a year. It's a hobby that is rewarding and frustrating. Every now and again, I need a little help on repairs beyond my knowledge. Thats when AA shine. I set up a time, or drop the machine off and Mark gets it running again. I take care of the little stuff, but his experience gets the machine up and running The crew at AA offer advice and help with parts and pieces. All this buying and selling has payed for my first full shopped and warrantied pin. AA had a Bad Cats in fantastic shape and for a fair price. Its now sitting in my line up looking amazing next to 2 other Williams of the same era. I can not thank the crew enough. It's a great hobby made better by people who truly care about their reputation.

He sent me two texts in between and he was perfectly on time. More importantly, he was prepared and literally, went straight to what was wrong with the machine. For the next hour I picked his brain and he helped me with other smaller, nagging issues. When I bought the machine I was worried about having someone knowledgeable, professional, and fair to back me up. Knowing Mark and Area Amusements are out there to keep my machine up and running is a great feeling. Thanks again Mark. I truly appreciate your help!

He asked me many questions so I would get exactly what I wanted. He was not in a hurry, he took his time and did a great job. I highly recommend West State Billiards & Gamerooms!

This location is more compact, still cool free video games to play. Their concession stand has ample supply of ice cream and other items. Great prices just like Carlsbad! I would say this is perfect for toddlers and younger children. When we went with my almost 10 year old there were armies of 5 and under. Probably closer to 3 and under. I wish I knew about this location when he was smaller. They even have a jungle gym good for the younger crowd and opened their Skytower while we were there. Would highly recommend this location for the younger Skyzone members it's perfect size to chase your child around and not have them get lost. Their toddler time was popping. (Very busy, in the best way, like a small child party but plenty of room.)

its unfortunate when a businessman buys a entertainment center for the sole purpose of dollars and…read morecents instead of value in the costumers. And honestly its up to us because they believe that we can be abused by the greed of the new owners and wont stand up. They are forcing our hands and think the regular costumer is stupid enough to pay what they want you to pay Example: 90 minutes is eliminated, which use to be around 18 dollars give or take now they give you a 2hr option, sorry they FORCE you to purchase 2 hrs as the minimum purchase price. So you are handcuffed to their purchase tier, they will justify it by saying buy a season pass and it will pay for itself after a couple visits, ok sure, but what if you dont go to skyzone that often? to just drop in with 3 kids for an hour its over a 100 dollars if you dont have socks. sure you get 2 hours, but what if you can only stay for an hour? your price is handcuffed! Next the free arcade games were included in the purchase of skyzone jump hours, now they cost a card and most games are now 8 pts which is equivalent to 2 dollars? Once again GREED at its finest! Just be ready, because you know food is next, I mean While we are at it, why not charge extra to play dodge ball, or how bout this why not have a quarter machine to use the bathroom. The Staff is Friendly, but I will not support a franchise owner who chooses GREED over costumers! This is the business model, nickle and dime you, knowing you will pay! Make them learn how to value costumers by not supporting.

They have 2 mini golf courses: 1) pirate themed and 2) castle themed and both of the courses are really well maintained and have really cool features and tons of different obstacles. They have water features, the pirate course is 2 stories tall, they have really interesting holes, it's not just turf they have imitation sand and water and "rough" - the mini golf is really great here! I will gladly drive down from Orange County to come here to San Diego County because this Boomers is great! Just be warned they don't open until 11am on Sundays.

I'd say 3 stars is pretty accurate, but more like 2.5. This place needs some serious rennovation,…read morelike more than one bathroom. The only bathroom was upstairs, with a broken elevator. Want to wash your hands? Too bad. The carpets inside were disgusting. AC was wonky indoors. Snack shack was kind of gross. Just dingy. Everything needs a refresh. That said, this place is a descent spot to have some activities although its pricey for being overall sticky and out of date. You get mini golf, lazer tag, go carts, bumper boats, arcade, batting cages and a sunburn. And maybe hand foot mouth. Can we PLEASE get an out door bathroom and places to wash hands?! I really think there should be a family pass, but it's $50/person for unlimited activities which is pretty pricy, but I guess it's better than an hour in an escape room. For $150 you can get an entire annual membership to any museum....plus lunch. It's just super expensive. Probably won't go more than a couple times a year, but it's fine. With legoland passes I just can't justify the price....and the stickiness of it all. Pack hand wipes, and a pee bucket.

A TALE OF TWO SISTERS ______________________________________…read more(...And The Enchanted 'Cado Seed) ONCE UPON A TIME, in a land far far away called California... there were 2 sisters named Anne and Mary Spriggins. They were spry, poor millennials living with a dairy cow and 2 iPhones in a farm cottage. The cow's milk was their only current #side-hustle. When dairy milk lost its market appeal to Almond; Soy; Cashew; Coconut; and Cat Milk, Anne asks Mary to sell the cow at the Mercado. On the way, Mary's Uber driver named Ben (along with ride-along: Jerry) offered 3 magic beans in exchange for the dairy cow, and Mary makes the trade. When she arrives home without any money, Anne becomes angry, throws the beans to the ground, and sends Mary to bed without her iPhone. During the night, the magic beans cause a gigantic beanstalk to grow outside Mary's window. The next morning... because duh... the girls climb the beanstalk to a place high in the sky. There, they find an enormous castle and sneak in to take some selfies [#pics or it didn't happen]. But Mary was #woke to a childhood tale about a scary Giant... cannibalism... and larceny gone wrong... so they overcome their #FOMO and climb back down the beanstalk as fast as they can. When they reach the ground, they cut down all but a 3-foot length of beanstalk with an axe. The next morning, giant avocados started blossoming from the remaining stalk, and the sisters called their avocado farmer friend Jason Mraz to help them harvest. Each time they picked one, a new one would grow. They could now have Avocado toast for life! YAAAAAS. Jason explained that the beans from the Uber driver were from the Hass Mother Tree of La Habra Heights -- and all Hass avocados trace their roots back to her. Mary and Anne decided that, if people would believe them... their story needed to be told. They asked Jason to narrate. He found some #lameAF "Captain and Tennille" cassette tapes, which he gladly recorded over. Next they bought all the green paint in 3 Home Depots and got to work. A pop-up museum was born, and the rest is history. Pro tip: this immersive seed-to-toast art experience features SoCal's finest bumpy-skinned fruit. Here, you can hear Jason tell the story, visit with Hass Mother, and bring home your own enchanted 'cado seeds. But hurry... it all ends Sept. 22. After that, your #FOMO struggle is real.

Upon arrival we were greeted, given a succulent and tickets. The Dickinson Family atrium is a fabulous space with hanging plants and so many examples of indoor/rainforest plants. We walked the entire grounds!! My fitness tracker said it took me two hours to walk two miles- I kept stopping to take pictures and read the plant placards. We walked around though many different gardens. From the rainforest of Africa and past the waterfall to the desert area with native plants. There was an example of a Native American village complete with hut and grinding stone. We hiked up to the look out point where you can see the Pacific Ocean. There is a children's garden, playhouse, and a sandbox with toys. There are walking trails through out and many benches. I highly recommend bringing water, a hat, sunscreen and snacks. There is a small gift shop with a small selection of snacks. They have a large selection of plants to purchase!!
