On the crap end of what is left of The Shoppes at Carlsbad Mall, someone decided to open an Indoor…read morePark that caters to younger children. It's like if someone crossed a SkyZone Trampoline Park with a McDonald's Playpen and slapped it with a coat of pastel paint and candy stickers. Sorry, CANDEE stickers. I will say that the prices are very reasonable. $25 buys you two hours of playtime. Grip socks are extra, food is extra, some of the games are extra. And the area itself is impressively clean, especially considering the number of young children traipsing about. On the negative side of things, however, the list is a bit longer. First, there's not a ton to do. Candeeland has limited space to work with and much of it is taken up by sitting areas for parents. The empty space could easily house 2-3 more small activities without sacrificing any existing areas. Still, what activities they do have are pretty intricate, with the multilevel play area having a nice array of padded areas for children to crawl through and a toddler area with nice pneumatic tube setup to delight the young. Next, even though the place is less than a year old, there's already some breakage of some of the area. There's a floor made up of touch screens that displays numerous games for kids to step on a play with. However, it's apparent that some larger kids have smacked a number of screens, causing them to go out or flicker. Which leads to my biggest issue. There are not that many people working here. This means that there are usually people minding the gate and checking if your kid is leaving with the right person. But, there aren't enough people on the floor to ensure safety or police older kids from doing things they shouldn't be doing. Candeeland really is a place that caters to those between 3-8 years of age. Older kids either don't fit on some of the slides or play a bit too rough with the environment. More than once, a screaming 12 year old almost barreled over my kid, knocked her off a slide, or hit her with one of the nerf axes. Sure, they balk when you glare at them. But, they just go back to screaming and thrashing about while their parents sleep oblivious in the corner. So, does my seven year old like Candeeland? Yes, she loved it and wants to come back. Did I like Candeeland? M'eh, not particularly. Still, I'm sure I'll be back eventually...

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!!

I normally don't write reviews, but I wanted to share my experience. I came in with my…read moresister-in-law and nephews, and since it was my first time, I asked the front desk employee, Nina (I believe that was her name), about the pricing and process. Instead of explaining the process, she repeatedly asked me to have my sister-in-law confirm that I was with them before allowing me through the front gate. My sister-in-law was already inside caring for her 5-month-old and 3-year-old, yet she was asked to come to the front gate twice to confirm that I was with them. The facility itself is very nice, clean, and welcoming, and the baristas were incredibly sweet. My only concern was the front desk communication. I think the front desk staff should explain the process and policies clearly, especially to first-time visitors such as aunts, uncles, or grandparents who are there with family. A little more patience and professionalism would have made the experience much better. I'm giving 3 stars mainly because the baristas were so kind and welcoming. Otherwise, based on my experience at the front desk, I would have given 1 star.

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.
