Everything seem like it wasn't carefully plan I thought they would do better since they have been in this location for the last couple of years. Asparagus batter was Awful, way too salty. $20 for each order and I bought 3 orders, and I could not eat 1 order. The Asparagus stalks were not cut so it wasn't edible. I would recommend purchasing discount tickets at SaveMart which is half of the entrance fee.

When we realized they were there, we came back to them and let them check our bags. Very unprofessional and rude people. They failed to do their job and got rude with us for coming back and having them check our bags before we entered... The highlight was the margaritas and the Monster Truck ride. He deep fried asparagus still had the stalky end which was gross to bite into. The unlimited ticket was also confusing. As you we supposed to get the pass, then take them to another location to get a bracelet. That was a waste of money, but a lesson learned.

Peter Jaffe is a great conductor and a fantastic leader for the symphony. Not only is he knowledgeable and passionate about music, he is also extremely friendly and approachable. Their free concert on July 4 is a great way for the symphony to celebrate with people who wouldn't normally visit the symphony. They also include some interesting performances in their season. I had the pleasure to see Mark Twain's World: A Symphonic Journey with Genuine Thespians, which wsa part music and part theater, but not a musical. If ever you have a chance to visit the Stockton Symphony, I would highly recommend it.

It's fun when all my favorite things are within walking distance of each other. Small but mighty, the game selection varies from a handful of pinball machines, to pool and skee-ball, with several of my favorite classics sprinkled in, such as Ms. Pac Man, Galaga, and Donkey Kong. They had some of Dave's faves as well, NBA Jam and Street Fighter II. Most classic games cost a quarter, pinball costs a dollar, so standard prices, nothing too expensive for what it is imo. There's a change machine next to the small seating area toward the front door. When we came through last weekend after eating at Thai Kitchen next door, it was medium crowded close to 7 at night. Folks were coming from Lodi Comic Con, so I don't have a grasp on when it's busy here vs not. Anyhow, a crowd meant waiting awhile for drinks as there was just one bartender doing her best. I think they should have at least two for a weekend evening, but that's just me. Not the one bartender's fault regardless. They have a list of specialty cocktails to choose from, but I went with my usual. We had a good time with what change we had on us. I love pinball but I'm pretty bad at it so that dollar doesn't go very far. They had the Godzilla machine, and that's a favorite of mine. I only ran into one game that wasn't working, but it gave me my quarter back so that's a win win. Overall solid date night spot, and I know we will be back soon. I love that we have an arcade so close now! One note I would add for improvement: please consider more drink stands! Hard to play with nowhere to put a drink, unless in shifts. I did see some, but more would be awesome.

Stockton has been my home for live hockey for a long time now. They are home to a minor league…read morehockey team currently known as the Stockton Heat Hockey Club, although I remember them often as the Stockton Thunder. They play their games at the Stockton Arena in downtown with a large parking garage attached to the arena for easy access. This place is just fun. I am a hockey fan, so I enjoy the action on the ice. You can get really close to the action at a fairly low price here, although I prefer sitting a bit higher to see the whole rink. Tickets are fairly reasonable here, especially if you get packages. I can often walk up to the window right before a game and get good seats. Fan experiences here are really great. They have many theme nights including the famous Teddy Bear Toss and other fun promotions. The place is family friendly with lots of children in attendance and a good atmosphere, although fights on the ice are common and encouraged by the fans. Concessions can get a little pricy though. The Stockton Heat manage to create a great product year after year independent of the team's ability. I have seen them in bad years and in good, and minor league teams always suffer since the good players move up fast. Fortunately, I nearly always have a great time, and even a loss is somehow a win.

I live closer to San Jose and should be a Barracuda fan, but I've already become attached to this team! This is fantastic hockey at a fantastic price. If I lived closer to Stockton I'd get season tickets. Every fan, vendor, player, and arena staff that I've met is friendly and interested in the team and the sport. These guys are moving up and down from the NHL, so this is legit hockey. There's so much talent and so many opportunities to see some of the great hockey players of today and tomorrow. There are lots of activities throughout the season, and lots of player interaction with the fans! P.S. try the hot chocolate at the stand by aisle E

Really cool place to visit with the kids! We came here on a Sunday morning when they opened and had…read morethe place pretty much to ourselves for a good hour or so. They make such good use of the space. There's so much here, and almost all of it was interactive! We especially liked the first responder vehicles that we could climb in (with uniforms, too!) and play with. The Lego racetrack was a hit as well, and there were a couple of space-themed stations where we could design badges! More favorite places included the pretend grocery store and the water course area where we could use panels to change the flow of water to see how the currents are affected when we raced little boats. We ended up spending close to 3 hours here. Very worth the price of admission. We'll be back!

Highly recommend having some sanitizer , or wipes on standby as there are all types of kids and age groups playing . There is a huge wash station when you walk in but kids are gonna be kids you know. Definitely want to come back and have a huge play date and utilize more stuff.

They had some neat art for sale by local artists and we enjoyed our visit.

Things I loved about the Grand: - Easy parking within a block (or two) via street and dirt lots. All of it was free parking. - Not fighting huge traffic other than I-580-EB on an evening. - Along a really cute downtown area that was about 3-4 blocks by 3 blocks. - Cheap snacks at the Grand that included beer on tap, wine, sodas, bottled water, candy, and nuts, all of which was very inexpensive by comparison to the Orpheum in SF. (Water, soda - $3; candy - $3; most alcoholic beverages were $6-9, IIRC.) - All great seating once you get inside. I didn't feel like there was a bad seat in the house. - Beautiful interior, just as ornate as The Orpheum. - Awesome lighting and sound, unlike the Golden Gate Theater, which has had terrible sound in the last two years. - Not a huge line to get to the restroom. - A space indoors for merch sales, for groups like All-4-One that choose to sell things. There's nothing critical or even nit-picky to say about my visit here. 5 stars. I had a great time, and I will be back. Tracy, y'all are so lucky!

I'm not personally a coffee lover, but the people I know that have bought coffee enjoy it. Definitely recommend, the art inside and all the bright Mexican colors makes this a cool little spot downtown.
