    I am only speaking as an admirer of Kumu Kanoe Barker and her halau; such beautiful dancing and a deep understanding of Hawaiian culture :)

    This was by far the most fun I have had on a go kart! Armahni(?) the owner was a great host and…read moretour guide. I was in town for a football event that was happening on Sunday. Since I knew I would be there all weekend, I convinced two of my friends to join me in the go kart shenanigans. Armahni(?) and his girlfriend took us around the lake and alongside the canal for an hour or so ride. The best part was when we had the chance to "put the pedal to the medal" (as my grandmother would say lol) and race each other. To actually be able to ride the karts outdoors instead of indoors, and not be on a track made the experience even better. Good times! If you haven't done this yet, you're missing out! : )

    Cool company, and we loved having another option besides K1. That said, organization and…read morecommunication could really improve. The main reason we came to this festival was for the go-karts. We arrived early for Valentine's Day to do something fun with our sons and were second in line. From the start, the process was confusing--waivers and payment were handled separately, and the waiver attendant wasn't able to answer our questions and redirected us to the payment rep, who was moving up and down the line asking about reservations. After watching three rounds of racers go ahead of us, we finally asked what was going on. That's when we learned that people with reservations are allowed to cut the line. Totally understandable--but this was never communicated to us. It would have helped immensely to know upfront that there's a reservation system with priority access, or to have a separate line for reserved guests. We weren't the only ones feeling confused. Once we asked, the rep kindly explained the situation, which we appreciated. However, she couldn't give us a clear estimate--just that it might be another 30 minutes... or more. It would have been very helpful to know all of this off top instead of being passed by multiple times. By that point, we had already been waiting an hour, believing we were second in line. The uncertainty was confusing and disappointing, especially for our kids. Ultimately, we decided to leave after losing over an hour, hoping and wondering what was happening. It was heartbreaking for our boys. I do want to say--the owner's energy was amazing. His excitement and passion are honestly what kept us waiting as long as we did. We love supporting small businesses, and that positive energy really matters. With clearer communication and better organization, this could be such a smoother and more enjoyable experience for everyone. I truly hope that feedback helps, because the concept and vibe have so much potential.

There's also a two drink min, but doesn't have to be alcohol. Service is pretty good and there's no bad spot in the house. Great for a date night or special celebration. Tickets are super easy to order online. Comic lineups can be mixed - expect a mix of talent unless you're there for a big household name. Being a New Yorker I know most famous comedians hone their craft at local comedy clubs so I don't mind a dud or two in the lineup if the remaining comics are good. So many great food options nearby on Pine Ave, the Pike and Shoreline Village. Super walkable. Hyatt Regency across the street if you want to make it a weekend or Staycation getaway. Movie theatres nearby too, as well as the Aquarium and whale watching boat tours. It's one more venue in a lineup of activities in Downtown LB to explore for special occasions and overall fun. A group of us took our girlfriend to the LF for her Birthday on a Saturday night and had a great time. Lots of laughs. Four of the 6 comedians were really funny so it was a fun night overall.

    We just went to night dive this Friday for a date night & this was sooo cute!…read more No line upon entering which was fantastic cause I did see it on tik tok it gets pretty busy so get there early! We arrive right at 7:30pm & I was so happy we did! Lines started building up after we were already in! They have bars inside & out, snack / food bars, a free photo station where someone takes a photo of you & prints out two copies (: then we started our exploring! So many cute fish, we loved all the jellyfish, shark lagoon was probably our favorite spot of the night! You can touch the sharks, stingrays & jelly fish while people who work there walk about giving you cool facts about each! Shout out to Brad, he gave us all the cool shark facts as well as our cute first timer pins (: They even have a dj & he was throwing out some bangers! lol We had a great night! I wish we could have seen the sea lions a bit better but it was pretty dark in their area, we did see one pretty active swimming back n forth & two sleeping on a rock ha Totally recommend for a cute date night! (:

There was only 1 available elevator out of 4.. however it wasnt too busy. They have a ticket booth outside to purchase tickets but we got ours online. They scan yoye ticket inside and we were off! We got to see a lot of super cool stuff like fish, jellyfish, sharks, turtles, Frogs, penguins etc. Our favorite exhibit was the birds. You get to go into this big cage and for $5 they give you a small cup of nectar for the birds to eat. They are all around you and you can feed them. We had a great time and we finished everything around 3pm. They close at 6pm.

There's street parking and different structures you can park in as well. It's also on the second floor of a plaza, pretty easy to find. The inside is designed weird bc the front desk isn't obvious and you have to turn a corner to find it? There was only 1 person working that shift when I arrived. Apparently other people reserved 8pm too but they all were late so my social lane ended up being just me for a while before others joined. Sebastian did a great job of explaining the rules and he was super nice always coming around to check on me and the group of friends I randomly bumped into. He was very attentive and kind and funny! This is a great activity either for date night or a friends night out! I would definitely come come back with friends and utilize the Groupon again!

The garden features a large pond filled with koi, including around 30 big koi and what looks like hundreds of smaller ones they are raising. It is a relaxing place to watch the fish swim by and enjoy the scenery. One of the best parts is that visiting is free, but you do need to make a reservation ahead of time. They allow up to six people per reservation, and they typically do not take walk-ins, so plan ahead before coming. The garden itself is on the smaller side, and the walking path takes about 15 minutes at a casual pace. Still, there are plenty of places to sit and enjoy the surroundings. You will find charming bridges, small waterfalls, lily pads throughout the pond, and even a little Zen garden area. Even though it is compact, the peaceful atmosphere and the well-kept grounds make it a great visit. I highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area and want a quiet, refreshing escape.
