My kids did a camp at the grid and had a blast…read more The games were unique, the kids were engaged, getting physical movement and believe it or not, interacting with each other. I didn't think these would be qualities of a VR camp, I was very pleasantly surprised. Pan and Tina did a great job with the kids and they run a very cool business. I cannot wait to come back and do a VR themed "girls night out"!

Best party ever! I threw my son's 11th birthday party at The Grid (boys aged 8-13) and they all…read morehad a great time! The owners were there and very hands on, keeping the party going. It was so much fun for everyone and I liked how little I had to do. I actually got to enjoy the party myself. The boys had 90 minutes of VR laser tag like play. We had the whole place to ourselves so didn't have to worry about the boys getting split up, or random people being around. We were able to bring in our own food and drinks, and the kids came and ate as they pleased. If I throw my son a party next year, we will likely come back here. It's a 20 min drive from Solana Beach, but well worth it.

Disappointing experience - not the same as before…read more I visited Candeeland Carlsbad yesterday with my 5-year-old son, and unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. I want to start by saying the front desk attendant was very friendly and welcoming. However, the rest of the staff completely changed the tone of our visit. They were consistently rude and made us feel not welcomed there. I've been there before and had a very different experience, so this was surprising. This time, I was not allowed to sit at the tables with my coffee and reusable water bottle, even though they sell drinks and snacks on-site and I've done this on previous visits. I had no intention of taking anything into the play structures, just sitting at the tables. I also planned to do some light work on my computer while my son played, something I've done there before, but I was told that wasn't allowed either. I was told I had to stay with my son at all times. The way this was communicated was the most frustrating part. The staff came across as dismissive and unwelcoming, not just to me but to other families as well. I ended up speaking with the assistant manager because the situation felt so uncomfortable. As I was leaving, another family actually thanked me for saying something because they were feeling the same way, which says a lot. I had been planning to host my son's birthday party there in June, but after this experience, I will definitely be making other plans. I really hope management takes this feedback seriously, because this place has potential, but the customer experience needs a lot of improvement.

Air conditioning is on full blast which is a necessity especially with all the people and the body heat that's generated here. Food and drink are reasonably priced. Socks are included and aren't too pricey. Several dedicated sections for parties of all sizes. I wouldn't hesitate to consider this place for a birthday party. Staff are accommodating and friendly. Be back soon.

We just celebrated our daughter's Bat Mitzvah and we could not have done this without the detail,…read moreorganization, and diligence of Pat of Zperfect party! She is incredibly amazing!!! She was open to our thoughts and ideas, and helped us with these seedlings of ideas - to grow into the most perfect, stunning, unique theme - just for our daughter (and one that appealed not not only 30 teenage girls, but the 100 other adults as well). My daughter and I knew the colors we liked, but we didn't have a true vision, and Pat was instrumental in really getting us all on the same page and developing an eye catching and solid theme. We met her, she asked my daughter questions about her interests, and Pat came up with the most fantastic ideas. As a parent, my big concern was "day of." I wanted to enjoy the Bat Mitzvah and not have to come to the hotel to decorate. I wanted to count on someone to do this, meet with the balloon person, flower person, etc, and so I could just show up with my family. PAT did this! She had it all covered, and I trusted her, and when my daughter and I came, all dressed up and came into the room before the guests arrived, we cried! It looked SO amazing, ,it was EVERYTHING we had talked about and MORE!!!! Finally, ,Pat knew that I was on a budget, and when I told her things like, "I'll figure the furniture for a lounge" since I didn't want to pay the high cost she said "ok." She didn't ever try to push me in any direction, she just goes with the client, and works alongside you, if that is your style. I also know if your style is for her to do it ALL she WILL do it all (I have 2 friends that wanted her to do it all and they said she was AMAZING as well). She works SO HARD, she does not forget ONE DETAIL, she is absolutely amazing. This was our 2nd Bat/Bar Mitzvah, and this was the BEST experience we have ever had!!! If you have a Bat/Bar Mitzvah, a big birthday, a graduation, any type of celebration - big or small that you would like some help, I highly recommend Pat. She will help you with Z PERFECT PARTY!!! Once you know. your date - you should contact her!!!!

She arranged to have delicious food from Fratelli's Italian restaurant, ordered the tables and chairs but most specifically found an Italian bakery where they prepared 275 Italian desserts in addition to the fabulous birthday cake. Honestly, the desserts were just too pretty to eat but they were also delicious. I told her what I had in mind and everything was taken care of. I will most definitely hire her again for any future parties. Everything was professionally done. She even made the sun come out after a week of pouring rain. She and her team are the best!!

The staff were super friendly and helpful and really patient with all the kids' questions. Was also really impressed with the set up for the party room, it was awesome! Everything was set up perfectly with some cute neutral decorations and everything you would need for a pizza party. The style of the room matched the lobby decor. Definitely more elevated compared to any other kid partywe've been to. Would be perfect for an adult get together. Communicating with the event coordinator was also a breeze. Overall great experience :)

We had a blank palate (beach for ceremony and Brick for reception) for our wedding and while we had many things complete, Carly filled in all the gaps and took charge of those things you don't even think about and there are MANY things you may not think about. She even met with us a few weeks before the wedding at our ceremony site and reception site so that she could really try to make our vision perfect. The wedding went as smoothly as it could and when some small issues arose, Carly immediately told me to relax and took care of them! She was super helpful and you will love working with her!!
