The sad part is that it's often on the same day as the other celebrations in the city. Though, for you folks east of the 605, this is probably your closer and better option. You can get your arts and crafts and sugar skulls on with the many vendors here. Kids have a lot of options at this one as it's a bit more kid friendly than Hollywood forever. And of course, there's a ton of food options from various booths. Some more expensive than your typical stand. Some priced about right. It's nice to wander about and look at the many alters that are here. You may not have known who they're honoring in them, but it's a great way to pay your respects to the families and spread their story a bit further.

What a little gem in Uptown Whittier!…read more Parking is a breeze even though there is a little bit of a walk, but there is plenty and it is free. Snacks and drinks are available to purchase; wine, beer, cheese/crackers, candy, chips, water. Bathrooms are plenty and clean. But let's get to the auditorium, shall we??? It's so adorable and fancy! The architecture in this place is beautiful, although kinda funky too with it's bright colors. The first time I walked in, I literally was amazed. It feels like a "big league" playhouse, yet it is small and quaint at the same time. Seats are very comfortable with legroom and not a lot of "pardon me, 'scuse me" issues since it is laid out with short rows. I've literally sat in the vey back row of the main level and was able to see and hear perfectly! Kudos for the acoustics. The temperature in the auditorium is also comfortable; not too hot, not too cold. A wide variety of performers at the Shannon Center! Plays, musicals, entertainers, all music genres! Check out the Hawaiian series too. Need something artsy and entertaining to do? Check out their website and see all the upcoming acts.... you may just have your next date planned! Wonderful job Whittier College! Shannon Center is only list of places to "go to" when looking for something to do. CHEERS!

Came here on a rainy Sunday afternoon to catch the Whittier College Department of Theatre's…read moreproduction of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) and was more than pleasantly pleased by both the venue and the comedic performances. While, yes, I am a biased and proud aunt of the female lead, I was still able to cast my biases aside and review the venue as a whole. That said, my niece rules, my niece rules,my niece rules. First off, the parking was super convenient, free, and located on the same lot and block as the theatre. The ticket prices were fair, as they went for $15 bucks a pop. Not too shabby for 2 hours of live entertainment all while supporting the college theatre department. The theatre was on the larger end of the small side. I'm not too sure if there's a larger stage, but the one that we were in seemed to suit the play nicely. I enjoyed that aspect because I really got to appreciate the nuances of each performance, attention to detail, and engage in the communal aspect of being part of a live audience. Good stuff. Oh yeah, the restrooms were also pretty big. On the downside, I wish there would've been more variety at the snack bar during intermission. Not a big deal. Go eat after the performance at one of the many local restaurants nearby. Also, the seats were padded chairs, so be sure to shift your position after some time. Overall, loved it! It's a shame I hadn't attended any previous productions, but rest assured that I'll be returning for more. Support the kids, support the arts!

This show was so much fun…read more We arrived early, and there was no traffic and no issue parking. ($20.00) There was traffic control and everything was very smooth. The show started at 11am, and opened at 10am. They opened the doors right at 10 and you went through security. Once inside there are a ton of souvenir stands to buy light up wands, Disney ears, and so many other things. There was a Minnie and Mickey setup where you were not allowed to take your own photos, but they would take one for you, and give it to you in a frame, for $25.00. Our seats were in Section 208, top row and they were perfect. Great view. There were quite a few food stands open as well, quite a few options for different meals and alcohol. I personally don't understand the need to sell alcohol at an event you are at with children, but that's my opinion. It's a two hour show, you don't need booze. There is a 15 minute or so intermission in the middle, which seems a little silly to me. It would've been nicer to just go the entire show without breaking it up, but that is partially because people walking down the aisles was very disruptive. I understand sometimes it's hard to get going with children, but plan ahead and leave earlier. 30 minutes after the show started people were still arriving and being seated which blocked the view of the show. It was extremely frustrating. You had to show your tickets and were taken to your seats. Every person. Of course after intermission it happened again. I wish there was a cut off to be seated like at the theater. The doors close and if you're that late too bad. It was honestly so disruptive, and rude. That's really my only complaint. Everything else was awesome. During the last half hour some of the children seemed to get distracted and bored so it may have been a little long for some but everything was so fun. The songs were great, everyone did such an amazing job on the ice - I definitely recommend it.

It was definitely a lot harder to see if you're seated too high up compared to Toyota Arena. The rink got colder as the show went on, so definitely bring a jacket. My kids didn't enjoy this show as much as the Frozen and Encanto one we saw last year. This show had very little special effects and more "couple" dances, but they all looked very similar after you see the first one or two. We did enjoy the cars performance because it was a little different, and then moana's act at the end. My daughter's favorite princesses are Elsa and Ariel, but Ariel never appeared for this show. There were 2 songs from Frozen 2 though! Even so, we had a nice afternoon here with the family.

We go to all of them. Each new show is a little bit different, but of course there is always Mickey, Minnie and Donald Duck. Each show has a little theme and they always have the latest movie to dance to. The skaters are all great and all dressed in character. Kids love it and so will you when you see the smile on your kid's face. It is just a great time. Parking is for a fee. The concessions are very pricey so get ready for that along with the merchandice they have for sale and there is a lot of it. It is a tad cool because of the large ice area so bring a sweater. The prices for the tickets are fair for how much fun you will have. This is not a bunch of amateurs. These are great performers.

We went to the Toyota Arena today to see Frozen and Encanto in Disney on Ice. We had a blast! I was…read moreexpecting them to just come out in costumes and do a few spins and go back, but they sang songs and incorporated parts of the movie into the show. We loved the effects, lighting, music, and performances. The arena isn't too big where if you sat higher, you couldn't see anything. It does get cold inside the ice arena, so definitely bring jackets or blankets. They sold food and drinks inside, as well as various disney merchandise. There was plenty of parking when we went, but it took a while to exit after the show ended. It was a bit disorganized in the parking lot for exiting, so we were stuck in the same spot for a while. Aside from the nightmare exiting the event and parking lot, we had a great time.

While there, I not only appreciated the talent of the teachers and students, but even more awe inspiring at times was the work ethic I saw developed day in and day out in these kids! They set goals and would go above and beyond to achieve them all while supporting each other as a family unit amidst the inescapable competition that the industry can breed. Geoff and Bernadette really encourage a family atmosphere involving kids at all levels no matter their background.. bringing out the performer in everyone. I'm so proud of the time I spent with Dancemaker.. So proud of the students I had the privilege of working with, blessed to have worked with a fantastic teaching staff, and amazed at what the graduates continue to achieve beyond the studio! If you've been looking for a dance/acting/singing studio, look no further than Dancemaker.. You won't find better!

This event creates a story line out of the experience that makes this event way more fun. It is expensive to go to the event especially if you have a big family. But I think its worth it. At the end of the story you embark on theres an ice rink that you can enjoy. Unfortunately it does cost extra and I wish it was included in the price especially cause the ticket is a little pricey. They also have a huge variety of food that you can enjoy.

Most incredible family affair highlighting the Elf on the Shelf come to life amid twinkling lights,…read moreholiday tunes, and interactive displays to entertain all ages. Ticket times are strict. Lines are long way into the evening. However you can purchase VIP fee add ons which includes a shorter admission line, wrist bands, including hot cocoa and a technique imposing a special photo with Santa. However this Santa offered us to take a real selfie with him. You even help yourself to a candy cane. It begins with kiddies writing letters to Santa then your group passes a spirit meter and proceeds into the dazzling shrinking tunnel. Foot power gets you to many stations of an Elf on the Shelf dressed person juggling, doing gymnastics and more. The atmosphere is so lively and festive. Soon you arrive at an enclosure like a big circus tent with a musical performance of cheery song and dance. As you exit the big tent you line up to board trams without any wait time between trams. It's a Christmasy wonderland ride. They thought of everything/ you must ride through the Unshrinking tunnel to become life size again. Ho Ho Ho!!! When you get off the tram you can ice skate on the rink, purchase hot cocoa and visit the various offerings. But first the kiddies receive something from Mrs. Claus with their very own name on it. If only this came to our Honolulu Stadium parking lot- it is beyond AMAZING!!! Happy holidays!
