We had so much fun here! We came last Sunday for the first time. We bought one lane for 6 people…read morefor one hour ($60), six pairs of shoes ($5 each) and two people needed socks ($5 each). XL Lanes is located at the south end of fashion fair mall. You don't have to actually enter the mall to get to it. We had no trouble finding parking. You can take the stairs to go down to XL or wait for the little elevator. Inside, the cashier is to your right with good large signage as to prices etc. to the left are pool tables and seating area and beyond that, arcade games and the bowling lanes. We attempted to place an order at the bar but since we were bowling, we needed to order through a server. I wish I'd remembered his name but our server was GREAT, very attentive and swift with everything. I'm looking forward to going back

I didn't know what to expect since it's located inside the mall. Upon walking in I was surprised…read morewith how big the place is. They have bowling, lots of arcade games and pool. On Mondays and Tuesdays I believe they have a 5 dollar special. Each game is 5 dollars and shoe rentals are 5 dollars. A great price in my opinion and it allows you to pick more games if you want. They have bowling ramps and bumbers for the kids. My boys are little and they had a blast. They have food too. Our waitress was extremely kind and very helpful. We ordered nachos and chicken tenders with fries. Pretty basic food but really good and fresh. My boys devoured it all. A great place for family fun.

This place stinks - as in, it is smelly. The smell is hard to describe, but it is strong: it is a…read moremix of cheap cologne and marijuana -- although the latter is perhaps better described as THC infused body odor, i.e. it came out of pores. My wife insisted that we leave soon after arrival. I sensed she was about to vomit.

We had the best family day at the Nickel Arcade! We came on a Saturday & it was pretty packed. All…read morethe kids had a blast playing all the games & having a cup full of nickels. The games are outdated as well as the interior as most reviewers state. Some of the games are out of order too. The prizes have very few options & very high ticket prices for small things such as candy & sticky hands. However, this did not take away from our experience & was more so a nostalgic feel. We will definitely be having more family days here!

Here are my criteria for how I rate a dirt rack track:…read more How is the seating/bleachers? Metal bleachers with back support. Somewhat comfortable; however, Merced Speedway has same back support, but more leg room. How is the food? Snack bar is the typical junk food. Once upon a time, they sold tacos here and that was a hit. Now that this track is under the "Ocean Speedway" management I would have hoped they'd bring in something similar to Watsonville's BBQ. Since that is not the case, I don't recommend eating here. Eat in advance, or in our case, my daughter was sleeping so I had to sneak her food in on our last visit so she could eat when she woke up. Is outside food/beverage alllowed? NO and the sign clearly says so. How are the ticket prices? Fair. What is the pit access like after the races? Drive your vehicle to the main pit entrance after the races and drive over to your favorite driver. I like this arrangement as there is no walking across muddy tracks/areas. How is the weather? Warm in the summer. Blankets only needed if you plan to use them as cushion for your tush. How are the announcers? They seem to be the same as Watsonville now which isn't bad. How is the flow of racing? Slow pace here on the last night we were there. This of course can vary greatly from week to week but I get the impression this track is not that popular at the moment. There was a lof of dead time between races. How is the parking lot? Lots of parking that is a close walk. I do like the parking arrangement and also I appreciate that they have clearly marked handicapped parking for those who need it (unlike Watsonville.) How are the bathrooms? Fair. Not a far walk from the stands either which is nice. However, there are not a lot of stalls. Bottom Line: I take a star off mainly for the icky snack bar with a missed opportunity for something creative or different. My purpose for writing dirt track reviews is to offer info for drivers/families who may not have visited the track before and have no idea what to expect!

Assuming from the years of smoking. Should've changed ceiling tiles and carpet to get the smell out. Surprised Dept of Health hasn't shut them down for it. Callers just say which game they are going to next and start calling. They don't take a brief 30 seconds to explain the next game and what they are looking for in terms of getting a bingo. My first experience was super frustrating and we were constantly having to interrupt the people next to us whom I know were getting frustrated with us.

At the end of the evening they hand out awards top 10 asks a best of show..

Just experienced Fresno Fright Nights first weekend of October 2025!…read more My wife and I enjoy haunts so much, we actually drove down from Sacramento! First thing I want to say, they actually offer very good military discounts with valid ID. We were both so happy about this offering!! There were a few hiccups with tickets. They basically emailed the tickets. Sometimes they wouldn't scan at each haunt, so that was annoying but tolerable. Each haunt had it's own unique theme. We especially enjoyed the Pizza Crawlers -- excellent job on this one!!!! My only feedback would be... Maybe a DJ for music throughout the park... More food vendors More fog machines to dim the surface viewing area, but make it scary... MORE actors!! Just more more more. The groundwork and concepts are really great, just need to work out the haunt kinks. Great job to all those that worked this haunted event!!

The staff really are the reason, everyone was incredibly friendly and awesome, the actors were so good too!! They really put their all into their scary monster characters and they even had an entire photo shoot area where you could take fun pictures with cool creepy sets. (We used the electric chair scene) Since it was their first year, there weren't a lot of people but that made it better for us because there was virtually no wait at all for the mazes. The mazes were decorated so nice!! Lots of details, creepy and TONS of places the monsters popped out of! And they were long! I loved running through the soapy suds hallway too! It was just an all around really fun time

You can even exchange multiple plushies for bigger plushies! A great place to take your family or even a cute date. Absolutely love it here !!
