It was a work out, but we planned for it with good tennis shoes and lots of water. I think it's 4 miles. There were 7 teams when we played and we came in third, but finished under 3 hours. I guess the average winner finishes in 3.5 hours. We were a competitive bunch. Great fun for the whole family. Looking forward to the next one!

We have always come to the Marine protected area when the tide is low and walked along the beach and sand outside the Institute to see all sorts of sea life. It is amazing what you can see, even saw an octopus one time. Just make sure that you know when the tide is rolling in and out to not get caught out on the rocks! On the backside of the Institute there are also benches to sit at and listen to the ocean. The Institute itself is filled with wonderful sea life and is a great learning experience no matter your age. Outside, there is a calm bay area where paddle boarders are all over as well as the educational ships filled with history. There is nothing that you cannot do in this area!

We purchased tickets ($18/adult) on-site although you can book them online to perhaps get a discount. We got an audio device where we could take an audio tour through the grounds and learn more about each individual aspect of the mission. We even saw the remnants of the stone church that was once the largest structure in California but was destroyed in the 1812 earthquake. While the inhabitants' primary goal was to promote Catholicism, the mission also served as an agricultural and economic center. The founding priests of the mission were told they had to be self-sufficient; when we visited the area there was a garden to grow food and a kitchen area. This mission was even the first one in California to make their own wine. Overall it took us an hour to walk around and explore. We didn't read or listen to everything in-depth but you can easily spend 2-3 hours here. We went early in the morning and there was no one around so it was peaceful exploring the grounds.

She…read morementioned that for her daughter's birthday she booked Spiderman, and I thought about getting both Spiderman and another character. Since our party only had three children, we decided to book just Spiderman--and what can I say, he was the star of the party! Our party was outdoors, and Spiderman absolutely brought the energy. He kept the kids entertained the entire time and even had the adults watching and smiling. I've never had an experience like this, and I'm so glad my son got to enjoy it for his 3rd birthday. From the moment I reached out to Pure Imagination, everything was hassle-free. Their response time was quick, booking was easy, and they answered all my questions. Even with it being the holiday season, I was able to book just two days after Thanksgiving. They offered different options and even asked if I had any special requests for the character. I booked Spiderman, and the performer--Daniel--was incredible. Daniel, I truly appreciate the courtesy call the day before and your professionalism. You made my son's day extra special. When my son saw Spiderman, he lit up with excitement. Even my son, who is usually shy, was interacting and having fun, and Spiderman made sure every child had time and attention. His patience, energy, and commitment to staying in character were amazing. I highly recommend hiring a character from Pure Imagination--they were the highlight of our party. From the moment Spiderman arrived, there wasn't a dull moment. I will gladly recommend them to anyone who asks. As for the cost, I booked months in advance which really helped me plan, but honestly, they are worth every penny. Definitely tip--they deserve it for the incredible job they do!
