I didn't get to make it to the last event they had but they are so close to my work I enjoy coming here just to grab a quick bite. 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.

Adults $20 and Children $25…read more The ticket booth person also didn't give us the correct change back. She took an extra $15 from my friend. Not cool. The dinosaurs were behind plastic gated fence. It was a waste of money. The adults are pretty much paying to walk the kids around. There weren't anything for them to ride or partake in. It was very repetitive and uneventful. The rides are not part of the $25 entrance fee. You have to pay $5 for each ride for each child. ATV (2 power wheels) was quite run down to be honest. Nothing special. 1 1/2 minute ride for $5. Lol Bouncy house was included in the fee, it was ok. Fossil was a sandbox, with dinosaurs glued to the bottom of a kid pool. Lol You might just walk by the movie theatre. Its quite magical. (Sarcasm) All of the rides had an age limit 12 y/o and under. Weight 150. So the older kids would not be able to enjoy it. The rides were tedious remind me of mall rides. No, let me take that back. Mall rides are better and cheaper. If they charge the adults less, maybe... maybe it will be worth it. Food was overpriced. Parking is $5. Do not buy online (there is a fee), buy at door. There is literally no line. They do not allow glass bottles or cans. But you can bring your plastic water bottles. So don't bother buying from their concession stand or vending machines.

Please save your money. While the dinosaurs are a little cool. The whole thing can be viewed in 15…read moreminutes. You can barely read most of the signs explaining the dinosaurs. The soundtrack is loud just blasting you in the face. Stupid rides are $5 each!?!?? For what should be a 25c ride in front of the grocery store.

Jene Wah is a Chinese cultural center - at least that's how I understand it…read more It's located in downtown Stockton, a street away from the homeless shelter and a little bit further into downtown from the movie theaters. The population here is supposedly split among Mandarin and Canto speakers, but since I couldn't communicate with anyone I am assuming there are more Canto speakers. Everything is written in traditional rather than simplified Chinese. The space itself is rather small for a health fair, but we made it work. Parking is also only about eight spaces inside so be prepared to park on the streets. I came by to precept for a Medicare Part D health fair put on by University of the Pacific that I believe will continue annually for a long time to come. We have translators and help people enroll in the cheapest Medicare Part D plan for the following year as well as provide services for blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, and bone density screenings among others. We're professionals here, so come by a health fair at Jene Wah if you are interested!

Filipino American National Historical Society, in case you were wondering like I was. Didn't know…read morethis place existed, until we were lunching next door at Papa Urbs, and strolled past the unassuming dark windows. They did have a sandwich board outside advertising that they were here and they were open. A nice older lady opened the door (we were still standing around in front deciding if we should go in) and motioned for us to come in. "Welcome!!!" She informed us that they had their opening ceremony in October last year. It's a small space, but filled with lots of wall panels and pictures depicting the life of Filipino immigrants living in California's Central Valley and beyond. There was a nice exhibit of Filipino bikers, which somehow blew my mind. People don't usually associate a motorcycle club with Filipinos ("Sons of Adobo"???). Just kidding, it's real, interesting and was put together by the founding father, "Manong Ernie." One of the docents (museum is 100% volunteer-ran) came out and gave us a presentation of the museum itself and a little history lesson of the Stockton Filipino community. It was nice to have stumbled onto this literal hidden gem in the heart of downtown Stockton. Stop by and learn about Filipino culture and history. It's not all lumpia and pancit!

This is a small museum about Filipino American history. First off, the museum is entirely…read morevolunteer-run and the staff there are incredibly warm and welcoming. The museum is small, very clean, and filled with information. Most of the exhibits are panels of information about Filipino American history, mainly in California. The exhibits are very text-heavy, so its intended audience must have a lot of patience. I learned about Filipino-American migration, the types of jobs Filipino immigrants did, and the role of Filipino-Americans in WWII. They had some traditional outfits on display as well. They sell some cool merchandise and books as well. Overall, this museum is awesome because of the niche type of information that would be hard to find anywhere else. The people running it are super friendly. Note: this is not really a kid-friendly type of museum because it is mostly text-based and not very interactive.

My daughter who is 6 six years in ballet training has now moved to pointe technique level this year and was amaze with the Swan Lake production. Theater location is in the heart of downtown Stockton. Plenty of street paid parking but I chose to have a little more security/surveillance parking 1 block away from the venue that cost $20. The parking lot is very small, and the attendants were very friendly but limited parking spaces. I suggest getting there early as the good parking fills up. The people working at the theater were very professional and welcoming. The ushers helped walk you to your seats. They sell drinks but I'm not sure if they sell a variety of food. I see people only with popcorn and candy treats. They also have an adult beverage bar. Con: While the show is going on, please do not allow people to come and be seated. Allow for production breaks in between, I know they have them. Everyone is standing up every 5 minutes allowing people to be seated through-out the show. Patrons please be on time it's not the movies or ball game! Lol Awesome venue will be back!

All seats are put in a decent way - even the corner seatings don't miss out. I bought seats for the middle column a little before the balcony and it was perfect!

My only shock was there was no heating inside the theater during December and it was super surprising. Glad I was all bundled up that night!

Dr. Pazo is a gifted musician, a responsive and consummate professional in his work. Our funeral…read morehome director connected us with Dr. Pazo as I requested a bagpipe player at the graveside portion of my mother's funeral this August. Mom (and I) have Scottish heritage and she grew up with her Scottish Dad singing Highland songs to her and in turn sang them to me. So it would be an understatement to say this music was a very important component of Mom's funeral service. Dr. Pazo phoned me beforehand to get a sense of what the service would be like and what our musical requests were. He was compassionate, kind, and efficient at a time when I was in shock from my mom's death but needed to call on my executive functioning skills for funeral planning. Definitely a challenging time but I was so relieved that the bagpipes would be played at my mom's funeral. When the day arrived it was an incredibly moving and powerful experience to arrive at the graveside and see Dr. Pazo in his full regalia and hear the haunting sound of the resonant bagpipes which filled the air. The bagpipes and the beautiful songs Dr. Pazo played gave a weight and power, a somber honor to my mother's life that I and my family will always remember. We grateful for Dr. Pazo's artistry, empathy, and power as he played the bagpipes. Some time after mom's funeral I watched Queen Elizabeth's funeral. When I heard and saw the bagpipe procession, I said, "I think we had a better bagpipe player at mom's funeral." That's how great Dr. Pazo is! List of Songs Played: Prelude: On Eirin's Green Shores, My Home, O Flower of Scotland, My Bonnie Lass, Skye Boat Song, The Isle of Innisfere, You Raise Me Up, A Mighty Fortress Is Our God Processional : O Danny Boy Commital Song: Auld Lang Syne Potslude: Abide With Me, Going Home

The duo consists of Sebastian Vera playing violin and Erik Urbina on Cello.
