    World's Largest Jump House! Minimal staff in the jump house, HIGHLY recommend you accompany your kids. Vast amount of space to enjoy but you do have your occasional rowdy kids who do not have any regards to others. Perfect for hot days. Bring your own grip socks and water to save money! Snow cones ($7), Gatorade ($5) and water ($3) is available for purchase. Kids had an amazing time. I highly recommend visiting while they are still here!

    Great fun for 6-11 year olds. Bring own socks or can purchase with ticket for $3.00 more. Thanks Zee for the fun and great customer service.

    The staff is wonderful I highlight recommend! I am definitely coming back with my kids.

    Update: I was able to get a hold of them and talk w the person in charge and sent him the video again. He said the problem has been fixed and offered me & my family tickets to go back and check for ourselves but I haven't been able to go. Anyway I'll leave a picture here of the area I was talking about so you parents can make sure it's safe. Other than that, place was fun.

    It was too hot. The kids were all sweating and burning their feet. Put this thing in a warehouse with some AC.

    Adult must have gripper socks as well?

    Yes. You'll want to wear socks coz the jumper gets hot.

    Do we need to have grip socks or can we have regular socks on the inflatables?

    Regular socks are fine.

    I see the hours are open on Thursday's (the only days we can go) but I'm unable to purchase tickets for thursdays, Any Thursday. Can i just show up?

The laser tag was extremely fun for the kids! Man, I had forgotten how much fun laser tag is until I saw my kid and her friends playing. Then the party room was simple, but served its purpose really well. Our party hostess, Karrina, was really great with the kids and made sure the party kept moving along. I think what I liked the best about the experience for the party, was that our hostess walked the kids around to the rides and through the arcade so they could familiarize themselves with the layout of the Boardwalk. As I was talking with the adults, we were discussing competitors like Bowlero and Lucky Strike and how unreasonably priced it is for a family of four now a days. Just the arcades there are so expensive! Here, the kids were able to make their tokens last for hours and walked away with some fun prizes too. I hope the prices never get ridiculously high here. I grew up going to Parkway Bowl and the Boardwalk. I am so happy that the accessible pricing has remained. Additional shout outs to MC and Noelle (staff members who were very helpful and attentive). Please don't change Parkway! Thank you for allowing us to host an epic party!

The price of games isn't bad compared to other arcades. The cleanliness was actually up to par for sure. The eating area has plenty of options, the pizza is really good so make sure to give that a go. There is a few rides along with laser tag! The boardwalk is connected to the bowling alley so go bowl some frames too. The Boeing are just opened up a remodeled section and it looks absolutely amazing!! Definitely a monthly visit for me.

We waited for maybe half an hour, but you can skip the line for an extra $10. The set and props are so detailed and the actors are amazing.

Can't believe we have been missing out all these years (I believe this is their 15th year) We had VIP entry for 7pm and at 1st I thought I could have saved some money and gone general entry but ended up the extra cost was well worth the money. The general entry line wasn't super long at 1st but for sure it started getting packed. We were 1st in line and eager to check everything out and get some good scares. The trial is a bit uneven but is well lit and actually not too bad to walk. The scareators were amazing, the props as well and the staff superb! The scares are enhanced knowing you are literally walking through the buildings and area of the old amusement park. We were in the first group to enter and what I liked not is we were spaced out. Even though there were roughly 8 of us we all got a chance to get scared. There was no overcrowding or trying to fit too many people through at once. It was perfect. Parking is free and easy in and out (dirt lot but we'll maintained). Depending on the time and date you go might help factor in which ticket option you want. There are three options, general line, fast pass, and VIP. Each allow you to stand in or bypass the line. Later in the season I would for sure go with fast pass at least. I can picture this haunt getting busier. Overall a great local haunt, well priced, easy to get to and awesome people. Can't wait to go back!

After parking, completing registration, and waiting in line (10+ mins), I was finally informed--after a long delay--that my son wouldn't be able to ride for at least "a couple of hours." At no point was there signage or staff to communicate the wait time, leaving us standing in line with no information. This lack of transparency and service made for a frustrating and unacceptable experience. I lost a good 30 minutes of my day, and on top of that, I had to tell my 7 year old that we could not ride a go kart today and left extremely disappointed your location. Which by the way, is not easy to get to and it is definitely not in the friendliest part of town. A long drive, a long wait, indifferent customer service and no go kart riding made for a forgettable experience. I hope you take this feedback seriously and make necessary improvements to ensure future visitors receive clear communication and better service. I'd appreciate a response regarding how you plan to address these concerns.

When we toured the facility, the staff showed us the larger party room and explained that, based on our guest count, we would be assigned that room with the double doors opened for additional space. We were also told that extra chairs would be provided if needed and that a party host would check in with us throughout our two-hour party to make sure everything was running smoothly. However, on the day of the party, we were placed in one of the smaller rooms in the back. The room was far too small for our guests, and even Cosmo, the mascot, barely had enough space to come in and interact with everyone. We also never received the extra chairs that had been discussed during booking. Another issue was the refrigerator in our party room. It was broken and leaking water, so none of our drinks stayed cold throughout the event. We also ran out of plates, forks, and napkins multiple times. Because we couldn't find our party host, we had to borrow supplies from other empty party rooms ourselves. Our party host only came by three times: once to show us the room, once when Cosmo made an appearance, and once at the end for cleanup. Other than that, we had little to no assistance during the party. The play area itself is fun, super cute, party rooms are adorable and the kids had a great time. However, the party experience was very disappointing, especially considering the cost. Better communication, proper room assignments, functioning equipment, and attentive hosting would have made a significant difference. I hope this feedback helps improve the experience for future families celebrating special occasions here.

This guy seemed an amazing deal price was killer and I thought maybe it just didn't have a lot of fossils and it was a lot of reconstruction.

I was asking a very simple question when I found out it was a replica. I wasn't rude. I said, cancel my order and they jumped down my throat. It was the rudest thing I've ever experienced and I hope no one ever has to deal with them after reading this.

She did not tell me to go online to book. She did say I had to have a $750 minimum since she'd be coming to San Diego, and I was ok paying the extra. Again, no mention to go online to do this while talking. I can't go back to Tuesday the 22nd on my phone to screenshot my log. But I've posted the 2 calls I made to her Wednesday and the call I made on Thursday. I left messages asking for a call back and that we'd spoken. Let's be clear, they were not booked. I've been looking for a Dino encounter type of company for my sons 4th birthday party. After speaking with several companies who were unavailable, this was the only one who was available. I believe her name is Carrie (maybe jeri?) who owns it. When I originally spoke with her before other companies, the first thing I thought was, she doesn't sound very charismatic nor entertaining. When I learned she was one of the "presenters" is when I searched for another company. Unfortunately no one else was available for my date so I called back. I spoke with her Monday about booking and she confirmed availability but said she was in the car and would call me back later to finish booking. Ok, great. She didn't call me back. I called her back Tuesday afternoon and left a message. Same thing Wednesday, I called a few times to follow up and pay. No response. Today, Thursday, I called and got a hold of her. She apparently has booked someone in my spot since we spoke. I am sooo angry. When we hung up Monday, I would have paid if she'd told me how instead said she was driving and we'd handle later. So I assumed we had our spot. When I reminded her of this, she told me I needed to understand she speaks to a lot of people every day and she had car troubles which she had to fix and handle. Quite frankly, I do understand things happen BUT how do you confirm someone else when you already told someone else they had that spot. Im furious but it may be for the best as I can not imagine her type of personality entertaining a bunch of 4 year olds. Terrible way to run your business. Look for a different company!!! I do NOT recommend. If you follow my reviews, I do NOT typically give out 1 star reviews and I'm very fair. But this review deserves it as they completely left me hanging for a party!

I ended up getting a membership since a single-day ticket is already so expensive ($78, yikes!). The membership comes with one guest pass, so it's essentially the same price as buying two day passes, plus parking. Getting in was a bit of a pain, though. The parking staff could definitely do better with the flow of traffic, as cars were cutting the line left and right and people were just doing whatever. Eventually, you'll make it in, and it's a short walk to the zoo entrance. The staff was friendly, and it's always good to grab a map at the front. Some of the exhibits I really enjoyed were the hippopotamus, bears, and baboons/monkeys. Sadly, the pandas were hiding when I came, so it's probably best to go early if you want a better chance of seeing them. Overall, a really great experience for family time.
