Old Skool Sleds on Display at the Surf Film Fest put on by the Southbay Boardriders Club.
. ..

Last night (04-05-2013) my girlfriend and I attended the Surf Film Festival put on by the South Bay Boardriders Club & the Hermosa Beach Historical Society. This event was to honor the inductees into the Surfing Walk of Fame, to honor surfing, honor the way of life, honor how far surfing has come and for present surfers to remember where we came from and what we are required to do as current surfers to pass along the stoke to other. The money raised last night benefitted the Hermosa Beach Historical Society and the Surfrider Foundation. The Surfrider Foundation had a table set up and of course I found my way over to it and was appalled at the samples they are pulling from the Pacific 1,000 / 2,000 miles away from any shore line. If you are still eating sushi, you are insane!!!!!! The Surfrider Foundation showed pictures of fish caught 1,000 / 2,000 miles away from shore which stomachs were filled with plastic if you think that is safe to eat I have some Ocean front property to sell you in Arizona. The event last night was amazing. It was great to be around fellow surfers and Ocean lovers. The event was catered by Chef Barry's BBQ and live music was provided by Bully's & Matadors. The food was mouthwatering; the music was soulful, peaceful and had a great vibe. If you enjoy alcoholic beverages they had you covered with beer & wine. Local artists were present and displayed their works of art for all to see and admire and if you had the money to purchase=) When you moved downstairs the Hermosa Beach Historical Society had the history of surfing on display. It was great to see how far surfing has come, we are connected by one Ocean and I am glad to be doing my part to Honor the sport of Kings. Items were on display to bid on during a silent auction, my girlfriend and I bid on a few items but we were outbid= ( Before the evening was over everyone attending moved to the Movie Theater / auditorium where the South Bay Boardriders Club honored this year's Surfing Walk of Fame inductees on stage. The South Bay Boardriders Club finished off the night by showing John John Florence (Pro Surfer) movie 'Done.' The movie was good but the evening was MUCH better!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you to the South Bay Boardriders Club, the Surfrider Foundation, the local artists, the Hermosa Beach Historical Society, Chef Barry, Bully's & Matadors and everyone else who attended for being the good. It was an amazing thing to honor a great City, great surfers and a great vibe.

I recently visited Wonders of Dinosaurs with my family to take my three-year-old nephew, and…read moreunfortunately it was not worth the money. The space has two floors -- one floor is strictly jumping castles, and the other floor has mini rides and mini golf. The issue is that the rides and mini golf cost additional money on top of the admission price ($2 per ride). It's about $30 for a child and $10 for an adult just to get in, so having to pay extra for most of the activities felt excessive. There was also only one employee working the entire floor with the rides and mini golf, which made things feel understaffed and unorganized. Cleanliness was another big concern. There were crumbs and dirt all over the floors, and the men's restroom changing station was very dirty -- the baby changing platform was especially unpleasant. Overall, this place did not feel like a good value for the price. I wouldn't recommend it, especially considering the additional costs and lack of cleanliness.

Real review!! I'm lost for words I don't even know how to…read morebegin! The equipment was worn out and several things were either broken or not functioning properly. This place is dirty and in need of a deep cleaning. It has a lot of potential, but it really needs some attention and maintenance to make it safe and enjoyable for kids. Floors & walls are dirty It felt like we were exploring an abandoned location with so many dark places to get lost and disappear for ever!! The more I looked around the worse it got! Don't be surprised if your kids walk out with Hand, Foot, and Mouth! The restrooms are disgusting!!!!!!! They must have a lot of leaks everywhere because there's trash cans full of water in random locations. Overall it's a huge 2 floor location with so many cool things but it really needs a deep cleaning!

This was another gem of a museum we found on our latest SoCal drive,…read more It was tucked away in a residential neighborhood and spread out over two plots of land. A replica train station (which housed the museum and bathrooms) and water tower, two cabooses, tanker and steam engine train were the main attractions. It also had its own small parking lot as well as a large lawn area. You had to press a doorbell at the locked gate in front and one of the staff will buzz visitors in and out. Two docents welcomed us and told us to ask them any questions at anytime. The museum was originally founded by Irene Lewis who used the money from her husband's miniature steam engines business. The museum was later given to the city of Lomita who managed it and admission was free (though donations accepted). Outside the train station we learned via a detailed photo spread just how the trains were moved to and installed in their current places. Inside the museum contents were well organized and spanned a variety of subjects including uniforms, model trains, telegraph (where one could actually tap messages in Morse code), food services, historical train lines, and more. Head into the nearest caboose to see a bit of what it was like to live there and peruse the small collection of adult and kids train and railroad books. Overall time well spent if you happen to be in the area Fri to Sun.

If you have a kiddo that is 4 and under, I think they'd dig this place. It's pretty small, but the…read moreperson coordinating the tours is super enthusiastic and passionate about the place. I wish they had a train ride for the kids, but they did have fun climbing aboard and pretending. There is a big grassy area that the kids like to run around on. We were here for the Santa event. It was cute, but a bit underwhelming. Something to do if you are looking for things to do, but wouldn't seek it out.
