I've been listening to this band since the '90s, so hearing them live was such a fun nostalgic night. Of course everybody gets older, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that... let's just say maybe Dispatch should now be called UB80. Bad joke, but it had to be done. let's face it. That's the dream to do what you love till you're dying day. I'm down for that. I'm definitely that girl. I'll go see you No matter what age if I love you! I love this outdoor amphitheater. The tickets were very reasonably priced, the atmosphere was relaxed, and it felt like the perfect starter concert to set the summer off right. I'm already planning my return for Sugar Ray and English Beat on July 23.A little tip: if you drink, the venue advertises cocktails, but it's mostly canned beverages. I'm sober so it didn't matter to me, but good to know ahead of time. Also bring cozy clothes because it definitely got chilly once the sun went down.Overall, such a great summer vibe and an easy five stars from me.

The skates smelled awful, it automatically put me off and made me question how clean the rest of the facility might be. My partner saw hairs in the Men's restroom sink, as if someone shaved in the restroom. It was beyond crowded, almost to the point where I think it's unsafe. No place to store your valuables. The staff seemed very overwhelmed, and when I asked them how it works (it was our first time) she told us that we can put our stuff in cubbies around the rink. So when I saw there was no cubbies I went back to speak to her where she told me there was actually no cubbies and you just have to leave it anywhere. Especially with these large crowds, I don't trust my valuables to be left unattended. Overall, I don't think I would recommend for new/casual skaters.

Security was very friendly and the concession stand cashiers were friendly and awesome! Alot of them joked around with me since I was rooting for the dodgers, stating the were going to charge me extra for being a doyer fan. Lol. I really got a kick out of it. The ambiance here at this stadium is chill! Every Angel fan was respectful and friendly. It felt more of like a family vibe. The price of food and drinks is slightly cheaper then Dodger stadium. The parking is way cheaper too! The decor at this location was up to date and the parking is more organized then Dodger stadium. It took me 10 minutes to get out of the parking lot after the game. You will be waiting for Hours at the ravine. Overall, I recommend watching a game here. Some of the friendliest workers I have experienced at a sports venue! Nothing is worn out. Many food venues you can choose from. Great pyrotechnics! This place is chill! Non congested. Dodgers won made it only sweeter. Also I attended many school graduations here. No problem, I recommend attending any function at this stadium. A mile away from Disneyland. Plenty of surrounding restaurants and entertainment. Kudos to the entire staff!

One of the older MLB ballparks and unfortunately not in a "retro cool" old way. Still, an…read moreenjoyable place to see a game, far more affordable than other stadiums in the region. Background Attended a weekday evening game with the White Sox visiting. Sat on lower-deck first base side. Plenty of Sox fans in attendance, many dressed on Marukami garb. (Unfortunately he didn't start but was a late inning replacement.) Trout homered, Angels soared, 4-3. Stadium The walk into the ballpark is among the ugliest, maybe now THE ugliest in baseball. An old park surrounded first by highways, then by vast cement parking lots. Truly, the Angels and city of Anaheim need to get their collective... budgets... together and finally convert this acreage into an area visitors will enjoy and not... look away from. The stadium itself is OK, especially for a vintage 60-year old field. Good sight lines throughout, no obstructed view seats. Nothing exciting about the outfield view although the faux-stone landscape and fountain in central field is somewhat scenic. Lots of fireworks - for starting lineups, Angel runs, and a couple nifty flamethrowers added in for home runs. The steps down from the 200 level to our seats were steep, a bit difficult to navigate while holding food, sodas and assorted gear. (My wife says this is an "old man" comment, I prefer the term "senior gentleman" but OK, guilty I guess). Food Hot dogs were good, especially the kielbasa, although the bun disintegrated upon pickup. Otherwise, pretty standard fare. Anything Unusual I caught a ball, with a single bare hand! But then bobbled it and a nearby fan with a glove swiped it. But he already had a ball so he gave it back! I gave the ball to a youth sitting next us, except another child also wanted it and started crying, then stared daggers at me for the rest of the game. Sometimes, there's no winning. Summary Well worth a respite from the mouse-eared havoc next door. Tickets are easy to come by, fun place for a family break. This is my 100th Yelp review!!!

My first time here, but definitely not my last!…read more The Observatory is a fabulous venue in Santa Ana. Parking was easy for us as we'd purchased a pass and we arrived pretty early. The entrance process was licketty split - we carried everything in our pockets. Upon entering, there's a photo spot, merch off to the right, as well as a bar and outdoor seating. To the left of the entrance is a smaller room, this time used for vendors,, but I suspect could be a multi-use space as needed. Bathrooms - clean and well stocked throughout the night - are also this way. Up along a poster covered hallway, and into the concert area you go! There's the stage in the front and a bar in the back. It's GA here folks, but there's a balcony with seats above. We chose the first tier behind the dance floor as there's a standing bar/shelf that spans the railing which is great to lean on and space to put drinks down. The location was perfect for us - up high enough to see everything going on onstage, great view of the folks dancing, and again, offered a space for our drinks and a restful lean. The sound system and lighting effects were fantastic! The lighting perfectly fit the dark, moody, goth atmosphere while the music was as clean and powerful as you'd want. No muddy, echoy, indistinct sound here. And extra wonderful? A pumping AC that kept the packed house cool and fresh as everyone danced all night. Such a great concert and really, the perfect venue for it: intimate yet spacious enough for comfort. Really great venue!

I went to The Observatory to hear & to see Gimme Gimme Disco in The Constellation Room. This event…read morewas put on by events producer Burwoodland (aka Ethan Maccoby & Alex Badanes). Mark Cuban recently gave a bunch of money to Burwoodland, so I thought this event would be decent. I was wrong. Gimme Gimme Disco was a hot mess. I did not at all have a good time. A ticket to this event cost $27-$31 depending on time of purchase, & parking cost an additional $15. The price & location led me to believe Gimme Gimme would be a well organized event with a properly prepared DJ who prepared a professional level DJ set. Not so, & not at all. Random disco music played before the DJ started, & then when the DJ started, I cannot say the mixing or transitions from one song to another were much better than simply letting songs play out on Spotify or Pandora or cutting to commercial on the radio. I wanted to give the Gimme Gimme DJ (Julimuah?) the benefit of the doubt, so I stayed for awhile to listen to see if the mixing got any better. The Gimme Gimme DJ did no real mixing. Songs were blended in at random points. A song with a tempo of 100 was played immediately after a song with a tempo of 115. Songs were regularly cut mid vocal etc. The quality of DJing/music was not good enough to expect people to pay money to buy tickets. I'm incredulous that The Obseratory would book such a mediocre event/DJ/etc. Because the Observatory is a venue where professional musicians often play, there was a sound guy or engineer on the sound board. I asked him what was going on with the DJ. I mentioned she was not doing any mixing at all. He agreed, & then he added: "Yeah. DJ culture has changed so much though." I do not know whether this was an apologetic statement. It is hard not to read/construe the statement like a subpar excuse. After speaking with the sound guy, I opted to request a refund, & to leave immediately. I asked a security/door staff to connect me with a manager. The security personnel referred me to management. Here is the gist of my dialog with the manager: Self: The DJ for Gimme Gimme Disco is not mixing at all. Songs are simply being played end to end with little mixing, beatmatching, etc. The dancefloor stops between tracks. It is just really bad. Sorry. Management: I hear you. Unfortunately, the Observatory cannot refund your ticket. Gimme Gimme Disco rented The Constellation Room so it is their event; not ours. They rented the room for the night. Self: Okay. I understand. Could you please put me in touch with the people from Gimme Disco who booked The Constellation Room & planned the event? Management: They (Gimme Disco) have a website, etc. [The manager then proceeded to show me the contact us page of the Gimme Disco site]. I realize the manager might not have legitimately known who from Gimme Disco coordinated the event. However, the Observatory staff did not make much of an effort to connect me with anyone who might actually issue a refund. A contact us form on a website is usually a dead end. So the rental format of some events, such as the Gimme Disco event I briefly attended, allows The Observatory to make money without much, if any, responsibility/accountability, & getting in touch with anyone representing an event results in being forwarded to a FAQ or Contact Us page. Seems like a pretty ideal business structure for The Observatory & any themed event planners booking events. The Observatory makes money renting space; the event makes money too. Anyone who feels or was cheated out of their money is left with no one to direct their complaint to--unless a website Contact Us page counts as a person. I obviously did not risk eating any food or drinking anything at The Observatory. I feared the drinks might be as bad as the music, so I walked back to my car sober, & happy to no longer be inside such an indifferent, disappointing, unprofessional, & impersonal venue. I am legitimately stunned that an event put on by Burwoodland & all the deep pockets behind it could be so utterly lamentable. I want a full refund. An apology from The Observatory &/or The Gimme Disco people would not hurt either. People should not have to pay concert level prices for crappy DJing, & a dismal ambience. I reached out to Alex Badanes for a refund. He initially suggested that I would be issued or given a refund. I never ended up receiving a refund. Neither Alex nor anyone representing Burwoodland followed through after the first hollow mention of a refund. Fake talent, mediocre event, & false gestures are the norm for Burwoodland & its reps.

The fair runs every summer from about mid‑July through mid‑August (this year July18-August17) and is open Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays from around 11a.m.-11p.m., and Fridays & Saturdays until midnight -- lots of time for all the fun! Tickets are around $13 midweek and $15 on weekends for adults, $9 for seniors/kids (6-12), and free for kids 5 and under, and you can even get a $60 Every Day Passport to come anytime! Parking onsite is about $15 per car (and buses/limos around $30), with tons of parking and staff guiding you in -- even though it gets packed like Disneyland on summer nights! We always have the best time -- from grabbing pizza, pineapple fried rice, ice cream, boba, fried Oreos, or whatever catches our eye at the food vendors (prices vary by booth), to watching shows, visiting animals (the kids love that), and snapping so many fun photo ops! The atmosphere is amazing, the smells and lights are the best, and you seriously need like 10 hours to do it all -- we're so glad we went and can't wait to go back again next summer!

Parking is expensive and I often feel like I am getting taken advantage of, especially when I'm paying for the attraction or event and then additional fees for on-site parking. The grounds themselves are fine, about what I expect for a county fairgrounds. Reasonably well maintained and fairly clean so kudos to their custodial staff because many patrons and visitors are frankly pigs, dropping trash, food wrappers, and other refuse rather than walking to a trash receptical and disposing of it responsibily. Pacific amphitheater is a good place to see a show. Good acoustics and convenient location. It would be great if the management would invest back into the facilities. I'll return because there are events and shows that I want to attend at the oc fair and events center.

That pricing makes the program completely out of reach for many middle-class families. At nearly $4,000 a month, especially in Orange County where families are already struggling just to cover rent and basic expenses, it feels pretty outrageous.

Programs like this should be accessible to more kids, not just families with extremely high incomes.
