    Playground with the animal structures
    Lily V.

    It has been quite a while since I've been to this playground. I used to play here as a little kid with my siblings more than two decades ago! I remember there was only a few slides shaped like animals at the time. Happy to see more! We got lost at first, we parked in the parking area and didn't see the animals. We had to go through a pathway to the east side back and found it! Plenty of tables and seating areas to have a nice picnic. There's enough shade for adults to sit and watch their kids. During the hot sun, I'd be careful of the slides, it can get really hot! A few of the structures were enclosed in gates and may be due to renovation like the Octopus and Snail. But my kid loved the dragon slides! He was scared of the whale slide since it had teeth and the mouth was really dark read...

    cutest park ever, well maintained, clean and lots of shade from the mature trees. very nostalgic!

    Just a few of the things to climb and slide on in the playground

    Somehow this park is both a San Gabriel Valley institution and one of its best kept secrets. It's definitely worth checking out if you have kids, or want to pretend you're a kid on TikTok. This park has some really amazing concrete play sets in the shapes of sea life and fantasy creatures. I mean, it's hard to pass up the chance to climb on an octopus or slide out of a whale's mouth. These structures are pretty good size and the size of the slides- or the climb to them- might intimidate very young kids. The good news is there is also a more traditional playground in the front of the park- so you have some options. Don't be thrown off that you don't see this playground when you first pull up. YOU MUST WALK DOWN A SHORT PATH TO IT, so don't think you are in the wrong place. Definitely worth the drive to check out. Have fun! Let your kids have fun too. Stop hogging the slides Mom.

    Favorite park brings back my childhood memories if you grew up in SGV it's like you've been here too! There's a regular park in the front but if you go across the bridge located to the left you'll see this part of the park in the back. Plenty of parking available including on the streets. There are also bathrooms on site. Kids love this place.

    One of the slides!

    This was such a fun playground. Lots of climbing for the kiddos, and the sculptures are so whimsical and cute! The park is very clean, and has a lot of native plants around the walkways. Really great park.

    I grew up playing here, and now my kids love it! We call it "The Dragon Park." The only drawback is that it's sand at the park, but the kids don't mind. Plenty of shade and benches too.

And this takes the cake as my all time favorite. The courses have great holes, with a large variety of simple classic style holes. But the place really shines in decor and atmosphere. It really leans into a more vintage vibe, considering this place is nearly 60 years old the grounds are immaculate, which is unheard of anywhere near LA. Amazing buildings and hedge arches dot the real turfed landscape. Vintage music plays out of old megaphones. Did I mention the place is massive? The parking lot holds maybe 400 cars, but expect it to be nearly full. It has vintage bumper boats, an arcade and 4 18 hole courses. Pricing is fair, 16.50 a person, and parking prices can vary but are usually free. Whoever maintains the grounds needs a serious raise, everything here is just perfect! COME AT NIGHT. This place really shines at night, when everything is lit up it is truly magical. One of the best in the nation, don't miss.

All the buildings, obstacles, decor and equipment were clean and well maintained and the water features all had fresh, clean water flowing through them, no signs of algae or stagnation anywhere. There were a few signs of aging around some of the cups and on some of the putting surfaces, but it is to be expected. I really wanted to score a 4.5, but gave it the full five because the mini-golf courses were so well-maintained. (Since we were there for a benefit and didn't pay admission, I cannot comment on the pricing or the relative value.)

    I wrote this review mainly for the FIFA World Cup Fan Zone event at Whittiers Narrow Park today…read more I'm so glad I had the opportunity to attend the Official FIFA World Cup Los Angeles 2026 Fan Zone today! They had a giant 21' × 37' LED screen for the live viewing of today's match between Spain and Belgium , creating an incredible atmosphere for all the fans. The Fan Zone also featured cultural activities, live performances, DJs, interactive fan experiences, a community marketplace, and delicious local food. Best of all, I met fellow World Cup and soccer fans from different places, making the experience even more memorable. What an amazing day celebrating the beautiful game! We reserved our tickets on Eventbrite but we got there early with my friend, and even though we waited in line for more than an hour to get in, it was totally worth it! We were able to get in before it became too crowded. My friend also found us a great spot in the shade, so we stayed cool and comfortable with a nice breeze throughout the day. Meanwhile, many people who arrived later couldn't find any shade and had to sit out on the grass under the hot sun. We also received some awesome FIFA World Cup Fan Zone goodies, including a commemorative bracelet and a special team poncho. Such great souvenirs to remember this amazing experience! Only one con, they only have porta-potties, and they were very dirty. They still have the FIFA World Cup Fan Zone tomorrow starting from 12:30-9pm. I couldn't believe we were there for 5 hours.

I'm in pain, having trouble walking and have a headache. Its's sketchy here. I'm more mad about the parking situation. I've been coming here for a long time and they keep charging me the wrong price. I have all these colorful tickets and some white ones. White ones are for handicapped and Senior. Colored ones are for regular people. They just can't seem to get it right and of course they do not refund the price difference but they keep making the same mistake. At this point, I think it's on purpose. The people in the white trucks are also annoying I don't know how many times they've come and sat in front of me. I thought it was maintenance, but I was told the office people who use the white trucks. Are they after a peep show? This park isn't always crowded it's usually pretty empty except for some weekends when they have games. So there's no reason for you to sit in front of a person with your car running being a lookaloo. Do you see my problem? With all these sketchy things that I see going on here you have really other better things to do than to sit in front of me. You should be harassing people who are on foot and on bike scouting the parking lot for an opportunity to steal something else. Or how about when they're harassing someone. Twice I've had an issue here with those people on foot and on bikes trying to steal. Where were you then? Where were you when my phone was stolen out of the front seat of my car? Where were you when the guy on the bike tried to steal my stroller? Where were you when someone tried to solicit me? My point is, if your trying to catch someone committing a crime, go do it. You don't need to be watching me watch a webinar, you're sure not protecting me from anything or anyone. What you can do is try and fix that water fountain that's been on for weeks. I still see the cones around it and tape but the water still running and it hasn't been fixed it's been running all summer. Probably either before then.

I thought we would be done in 30 mins, but we stayed about an hour and we could have stayed longer if we wanted. They had some great picture spots and most people waited in line. There was an idiot mom who just cut in front of us and said it was OK since she only had one kid. Overall, it was a great night.

The goal is to use a weapon of your choice (pistol or 2 other rifles) to shoot down 6 targets, if you hit all 6, you win a prize (a medium sized plushie!). It cost $20 for 6 games. One game = 10 shots from your chosen weapon. In other words, you get 10 tries to knock down 6 targets, which I think is rather difficult since a few of the targets are really small. Whether you win or lose, you get a small prize (small plushie).The games can go by pretty quickly because after you shoot your first shot, you immediately want to shoot the other 9. As a person with no airsoft experience, I only hit 2 targets each game. The guns have almost no recoil and the shots aren't that loud, so it's a game that can be casually played with a date or your friends. You don't need to wear goggles or anything either.

As a mom, student, and widowed parent, my time and our budget are limited, so this was a special day that required a lot of planning and coordination. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing from the moment we arrived to the park when we were not allowed to bring small ice chest to keep his string cheese cold. Another challenge resolved around obtaining disability accommodations. We waited in line for over an hour and a half just to receive the accommodations my son needed. For families of children with disabilities, long waits can be incredibly difficult and can set the tone for the rest of the day. I was surprised there wasn't a more efficient process in place. After finally getting through that process, we headed to the Orca Encounter, which was the highlight of our trip and the attraction my son was most excited to see. Within minutes of finding our seats, we were informed that the show had been canceled because of lighting issues. We waited, hoping the problem would be resolved, but it wasn't. There was very little communication about what was happening or whether the show would resume. By that point, the long wait for accommodations, the canceled show, and the uncertainty created an overwhelming environment which caused for him to be sensory overloaded with the crowds that were crashing into people and ran him over a few times. Instead of making happy memories, we spent much of the day waiting in lines and trying to navigate unexpected disappointments. I understand that technical issues happen and sometimes unavoidable. However, what was most frustrating was the lack of communication, the lengthy accommodation process, and the absence of any effort to make the experience better for guests who had already invested so much time. A simple update, an apology, or information about alternative options would have gone a long way. Families visiting with children who have disabilities often spend weeks preparing for outings like this. Many children thrive on predictability, and unexpected changes can be especially challenging. I hope SeaWorld will review its accessibility process, improve communication during ride or show interruptions, and consider how these situations uniquely impact guests with disabilities. This trip was meant to be a special memory for my son. Instead, we left feeling exhausted, disappointed, and wishing we had spent our time elsewhere

On your way to the entrance , there are lots of vendors: food, aqua Fresca, clothing, hats, umbrellas, etc! So if you forget something at home, You'll be fine! Note/ there are people who protest at the front gate but they didn't bother anyone. Inside the zoo, there's a coffee bean truck, dippin dots, ice cream trucks , plenty of spots to purchase food , drinks, snacks, and refreshments. I saw a few grills and cafes as well. Overall look of the zoo echos many reviews left on Yelp, of it being run down and looking old and needing some maintenance. One thing to point out, the staff at ticketing gate didn't check my purse or diaper bag.... I would think just for security measures they would check pockets and bags. There is an area for kids / playground. There's also a small area where you can get up close with Vietnamese pigs and brush goats! There were no horses, elephants, or lions.

A lot of the exhibits and animals were not available. They don't have elephants anymore. We didn't see the tiger come out. Maybe it was a hot day that a lot of animals are in hiding. It did get as hot as the 90's around noon. We went at 10am right when it opened. Out of the animals we saw we liked the flamingos, rhino, monkeys and giraffes. They had a carousel at Tree Top, it was $5 a ride. It was cute. Also they had a few photo booths that we took advantage of. It was a cute souvenir for memories. It was $10. They had a playground towards the back of the park, it was nicely shaded but omg infested with mosquitoes. It wasn't just at the playground that we got bit, there is a lot of trees and plants. Plus standing water around the zoo for the animals and that housed a lot of bugs and mosquitoes. Once I noticed I got bit I didn't enjoy my experience there. I wanted to just head towards the exit because I was itching all over. Definitely recommend bringing sunscreen, hat, neck fans (this heat & all this walking is no joke), plenty of water, mosquitos repellent, a lot of snacks and your own food. A lot of the cafes and food stalls were closed. We were smart enough to bring food cause they had nothing opened on a Tuesday. Won't be back for awhile. The SD Zoo is much nicer.
