We'd never heard of it, but we were up for an adventure and decided to try it out. I made reservations online through their website where they request a deposit and the balance is due upon checking in to their facility. Ricky was our host and he was great! He was very accommodating and encouraging because, let's face it, we aren't as young and agile as we used to be! I'm so glad I wore comfy clothes because I was SWEATING! Wasn't expecting quite the workout from immersive gaming, but there we were! Ricky had the air conditioning cranking for us and it was very much appreciated! You have to wear grippy socks, which you can either bring your own or purchase a branded pair from Pixel Rooms. Cool little souvenir! You're given 20 minutes in 3 rooms. The first room has 3 different games, which we tried each one. The second room is a laser maze which changes at each level. That was interesting! Wasn't expecting to have to army crawl across the room! The last room is a "floor is lava" challenge and that was exhausting! There was one that was set up as pacers and I thought we were gonna die! The place is GREAT! I think we should come back and bring our kids! Don't hesitate to try this place out!

There are 3 rooms that you get to do. By the end of it, It got a good sweat going for me. Make sure to bring a bottle of water and a towel. They have a water cooler too in case you run out. The rooms are all unique, and challenging, I especially liked the laser maze and the floor is lava room. Oh yes and they do have a small parking lot which is a massive help Will def return

Rage Ground 120 E 11th St., Los Angeles, CA 90015…read more It was definitely fun and a great way to blow off some stress I went during a pop-up event, and they had a photo booth that recorded videos, which was a nice bonus. I'm not sure if that's something they offer all the time or just for special events. Most important thing: shoes! There's broken glass and debris everywhere, so closed-toe shoes are mandatory. Two of my friends couldn't participate because they didn't have the right shoes, so definitely double-check before you go. Wear comfortable clothes, and don't forget your photo ID. Parking Even though it's Downtown LA, street parking was actually easier at night. Just be prepared to walk a bit since it's all street parking. Overall, it's a fun experience if you're looking for something different, just make sure you come prepared--especially with proper shoes!

Hi, I was just kicked out of tonight's pokemon event…read morebecause a couple who was white and asian cut me in line and when I confronted them about it, the asian one got in my face and i called him an "asian bitch", he then complained to me to the black security guard and the security guard at first came up to me and asked me to stay away from them which i agreed to. all was cool until the asian guy went back to the black security guard and said he wasn't satisfied until i was kicked out. i was kicked out. that was not fair and i posted on my socials about it. i would like this rectified. i would like to be compensated for this in some way and the security guard to be reprimanded and taught how to handle situations like this in the future. please advise how you plan on handling this situation.

Depending on the season and the weather, he'll be able to tell you what time of day is optimal for the best light. In my case, he responded quickly and made it so easy. I'm drawn to quirky people who are compelled to do something, do it well, and keep trying out new ideas simply because they love it. That's Randy in a nutshell, and his enthusiasm and creativity are infectious! You'll leave feeling inspired to see the world a little differently and to make your OWN art more often. Enjoy!

It used to be free but it's $6 per person and you have to park on the street, but no big deal here . . . yet. Our group of 3 walks up along with another person and we try to check in with 2 men at a table. One older gray haired man tells us the tour already started. I'm completely confused and look at my watch, and say, "it's only 3 minutes after the start time." Then he says, "We were looking for you!" I said, "Well, you weren't looking very hard because here we all are checking in at the start of the tour." After he checks us in, I ask if we can sprint to catch up to the tour and he says yes. I lean into the doorway and see the rest of the tour - 4 other women right there. So half the tour was 3 minutes "late" and they decided to start, weird but moving on. The woman leading the tour was really quite lovely and I wasn't expecting the house to be so amazing since I was focused on the garden part but I really loved learning about the house and original inhabitants. We are asked several times if we want to join the meditation but I'm getting culty vibes and we keep politely declining. Once we are outside, we are asked again if we would like to join the meditation and now the gray haired man is with us again and I said, "No, we really just wanted to see the gardens." At this point he says, "Oh the gardens are closed." I'm completely confused again and said, "What? But that's why we came-- to see the gardens & labyrinth." He then says, "Oh! well the labyrinth is open but the gardens are closed." At this point I think they asked us to join the meditation again. I asked when they expected them to be opened and the response was June of this year, maybe because there have been a lot of delays. Again, weird, but okay we just want to walk the labyrinth. There were a couple of other women walking it and then our group of three joined too. I'm halfway thru it and I look up and see the gray haired man STARING at us - which included 3 preteens/teens in halter tops posing and taking pix - and I was so incredibly creeped out. I had no idea what to do, cross the labyrinth? ask him what he is staring at? I came to this place to ground and do something calming and now I have a man staring at me and other women but since everyone else was looking down or at their phone, they didn't notice so I didn't want to disrupt THEIR experience. Eventually he went away, to join the meditation I guess. We finished the labyrinth and left. It was only $6 but since it didn't mention the gardens were closed on the website or ticket, I am asking for a refund. Would I go again when the gardens are open? Yes. Would I recommend to others? Yes. Would I advise against it as a single woman? Also yes. I will update if they refund us or not.

It's hard to miss when driving but if you have a reservation you can park in their lot. Visiting days are Wednesday, Friday, Sunday and you have to pre-book. The entrance ticket includes a short tour showing part of the downstairs house and after guests can walk around the meditation garden with the Labyrinth. I thought it was peaceful and calm, it was like a very small version of Self-Realization as there were grassy areas and benches to sit and relax and meditate. I appreciated the fountains because the sound of running water is so calming.

Options include General Admission or General Admission with access to the Infinity Mirrored Room (reservations for this open the last Wednesday of each month). I mistakenly booked only General Admission and was disappointed to find that the Infinity Room was fully booked at my time slot. General admission includes access to the museum's third-floor galleries. I typically gravitate toward art museums over history or science museums, and this one delivered. The collection features primarily paintings, along with several portraits and sculptures--engaging and thought-provoking throughout. There is a parking garage located beneath the museum. Rates are $19 for the first three hours with museum validation, $7 for each additional 15 minutes, with a $29 daily maximum. There's also a $19 flat rate after 5 pm on weeknights and all day on weekends.
