The line to into moves slow because they have to check you in and give each child a safety bracelet that will also collect the data for the money earned and spent during their time. The parking is located right off the freeway but you will need to walk into the shopping center to locate the entrance to Mini City. Also I recommend you stay 2 + hours to fully enjoy the experience Mini City has to offer.

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.

The fish tanks are not fit for the fish there and almost NONE of the fishes have the proper tank set up. They have FAKE CORAL PLANTS that are made of PLASTIC which are HORRIBLE for these animals.

And one of the fishes was SICK, it was also missing some fins, overall just rough. Please DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!!

It was above and beyond what I expected and we enjoyed every minute of it! St. Patrick was a highlight for my son and husband who enjoyed his spot on Irish accent very much! The scavenger hunt was sweet and well thought out with very fun prizes at the end! Everyone made new friends, the petting zoo was great too! I made friends with one of the brand new goat babies they're very sweet and tiny! My husband held a couple snakes and my little guy had fun watching the tortoises eat! If your family want to have a great time I highly recommend visiting fort cross! Incredible Photo ops everywhere! Did I mention paint ball slingshot , tomahawk throwing and archery ? Well done and family fun great for bonding! We loved the very welcoming and compassionate owners! We are already planning our next visit back!

This family owned and built setup gives an old timey backyard feel with games ranging from treasure hunt, archery, ax throwing to a large garden/nursery. Like a large backyard it is all dirt paths with over grown trees & bushes so i would not come in high heels or nice shoes. The garden area is an "instagram" worthy spot for influencer photos as it is decorated with vintage photo frames, art, pottery giving it a rustic yet artsy feel. Pictures on yelp do the venue more justice than the companies website or TripAdvisor. Dates and hours are limited, as the family runs all aspects of Fort Cross. Highly recommend confirming they are open before just heading out. My one reservation or word of caution is with the archery. There are no forearm guards or finger protection offered. The bowstring with repetitive can possibly hurt your skin and cause of injuries.

The lobby is small but has kids tables and a few toys to help distract them while you fill out the waiver. Large cubbies are available and can easily fit 4+ shoes, bags, jackets, etc. I love the feeling of cleanliness of the whole place. The large open play area, the various slides and obstacle courses for all ages. The Cafe is a major+ with breakfast items, lunch items, and even adult beverages. You can bring your laptop and somewhat work there if you have to. Only thing missing from making this a 5star in my book, was the staff on the floor seemed blah (no smiles, no hello). Like they had a rough prior night and seemed they needed coffee more than the parents there lol. Definitely a solid 4 star place. Love that you can bring your own slip resistant socks and not forced to buy. But they have socks in stock if your forget and adults can use their own socka. Would come back again since my kids love the ball pit and not many places have a clean open ball pit.

This place was quite fun when we visited. It is like a $20 pesos parking charge at the entrance,…read morethe rest of your visit will be pretty much free. The time we visited, there was an ice skating rink at the entrance. I believe its $7dlls to use the facility. We walked around the entire park and it took us all day. There were vendors with lots of delicious snacks and food that we didnt really venture to try. At the area where the animals are at, there were guys walking around with frozen margaritas and churros. The animals looked happy and comfortable. My daughter enjoyed it and the families that were there also seemed to be enjoying their time. I do not think there are other zoos around the town and given that is free, it seems like a great option for those with low budgets and kiddos to entertain. There were also rides for the kids, a large grass area where people was chilling and having picnics. There were pools at sight but they weren't in use, probably they are open during summer, we visited during winter time. They also have a lake where you can ride the little boats and just hang out. Overall this park is pretty fun and yeah maybe is not the San Diego zoo but its another face to Tj which currently rates to the 5th most dangerous city in the world. Who would have thought they could care to have a free zoo? Kudos.
