However, the "pinball palace" proved very disappointing.

The woman who helped us was sweet and the Florida resident discount helped but I honestly was really looking forward to this particular attraction but would not come back

Me and my partner went to Artie party for a nice date night on a wine down Wednesday. I've always…read moreheard of this place through the grapevine, and I tried to go here before but the event was unfortunately canceled because the person that was doing the event had an emergency. The most unprofessional part of it is that the money was never refunded to my account. Even though they called me and asked me if I wanted the funds given back and I told him yes. Anyway I knew at some point I would get my finances back. So I just made a call and let them know that they never gave me back my money and then I would like to use the credit for a class. With no issues at all they made it happen. We had a lady name Ebony who was definitely well knowledgeable about painting. She also sold me one of her paintings as well. Definitely a beautiful painting that I had to take home with me. She was great as far as her leader ship, her knowledge of painting and her overall ability to just have some fun and give great directions with a small group on a Wednesday. I normally just do food for yelp, but because this was so much fun and so entertaining I definitely want others to know about this place. If you're looking for a nice paint and sip with friends, Then certainly look no further. This is the place!

Nancy and I have been attending the Winter Garden Music Festival for a few years now and really…read morelove it. It's free entry into the event, with plenty of free parking and a shuttle available. This year in 2026 the event seemed to be much larger with more attendees than years prior. There was seven different stages (some larger than others) 6 outdoor and one indoor. There was 30 plus music acts from a wide variety of genres. There was food and drink vendors everywhere you turn pricing was reasonable for a festival. Personal coolers and outside alcoholic beverages are not permitted. I recommend wearing nice comfortable walking shoes and bringing sun protection. Although there is plenty of shade there are areas that are in full sun. You might also want to bring your fold-up chair so you can take a break and relax to watch the bands. There is some public seating but it's limited. It's a one day event held annually around February. The event begins at 11:00 a.m. and ends at 10:00 p.m. Be sure to get there early so you can take in all the excitement and get a good spot in front of your favorite bands. See you at the big party there in 2027!

It's has a handful of games geared towards kids, like a car ride, basketball games, plenty of crane games filled with those gremlin Labubus and games to win tickets for the prize counter.

What a nice event for Orlando. We went on the last day of the 2020 event and arrived around 2p…read more We were lucky enough to find a close parking spot so we started off great. We had free tix courtesy of a local radio station contest. I can still hear the busy signals in my ear from dialing in. This year, the event was "cashless", which doesn't mean you can't bring cash, but it means you pre-load your bracelet with money that you can use to purchase items from various vendors. It sounds like a good idea, but you have to guess as to how much to load, then do math all day and remember how much you have. When you purchase something, you can ask the person what your balance is. It's nice to not have to get out your wallet every time, but also a pain if you want something that's $7 and you have $6 left. You can't combine "bracelets" either so if someone had $1 left, they'd either have to reload or lose it. There was also a $1 service charge for the privilege of using the bracelet. As far as food options, there were plenty. Various restaurants from around town were there serving up some of their favorites. Gringos Locos, Dixie Dharma, Kaizen Something or other, American Social, Jeremiahs Italian Ice, Jimmy Hula's, and many others were there. It's a great way to try things without driving all over. Many places also had vegan and vegetarian options. There were plenty of wine vendors as well, and those lines were the shortest (or non existent). There was something you could buy that was a sampling of wines for $20. I think they punched or scanned something with each vendor. Most wineries were charging $7 for a glass (plastic cup) of wine. I would think if you want people to try your wines, you'd have it at a lower price point. Are they there to make money or get people to love their wine? (Gringos Locos got it with their $2 Double Decker Tacos, the line was nuts). The event ran till 7 but around 4p, some vendors were already closing up shop. That would be disappointing to me if I was arriving later in the day. There was also Mixed Drinks, Bloody Mary Bars, Beer, Hard Seltzer, and water/soda if you weren't there to get Lit. Prices were good for these options. There were plenty of porta-johns and hand washing stations which is nice. There was a stage with rotating bands. Lots of security as well. I'd recommend going as a nice day out. I wish they'd improve the cashless payment method though. At least let people combine. I'd give it 4 stars if it wasn't for that.

An A OK event that has some ups and downs. This is an annual event that takes place in the heart of…read moredowntown. There are tons of parking garages and lots in the local area that are within walking distance, most are around $5-7 dollars, so it's not too bad. It's about $20 for entry into the event, which seems a bit steep to me, since you have to pay for tickets for the food and drinks on top of that. Each ticket is $2 and most drinks and food are between 3-4 tickets ($6-8). It's a pretty expensive event overall once you tally up parking, entry and tickets. There are a lot of vendors, especially local vendors, which is great, cause I love to support local. There were about 40 tents, about half drinks and half food. There is a menu of options when you arrive, so you can know what to expect. Overall: B- A good locals event, but a pretty steep price tag on it once you add it all up.

What an excellent annual event!! We've been to the event a few times and this year I went solo…read morecause the husband had to work. I parked in a nearby garage for a decent price. There was a line outside waiting to get in as I was about fifteen minutes early. Once the does opened the line moved super fast. They quickly scanned QR codes for the tickets and had two guards checking IDs for wrist bands. As soon as you walked in they had a step and repeat to take pictures with which was super fun! There was also a bar right there, which was handy! There were food and merch vendors in a variety of spots. Some were in the Orchid Room and others at Church Street Ballroom. The venue itself is gorgeous. I love all the glad window designs and the historic vibe of the buildings. The food vendors were all excellent. A few of my personal faves were Foxtail Coffee, La Femme de Frumage (I probably butchered that spelling??), and Dixie Dharma - that vegan taco was WHAT?? SO GOOD. Overall: A Great event with good execution. It grows each year so I'm looking forward to seeing what's to come!

Last year's I rated a marginal Four star. This year deserves four and a half easily. The issue I…read morementioned from last year regarding the bar situation was more than taken care of this year. There were more locations to get drinks, and some of them had low tables full of pre-made Mimosa's and Bloody Mary's that you could just walk by and grab. I was sad that Jimmy Hula's ran out of food before we got a chance to get over there, but the foods we did get to try were all outstanding, especially Kiki's Belgium Waffles. Those were definitely worth waiting in line for. Timber Creek was there handing out samples of many types of liquor all made right here in Florida. Their representative was full of information about each type, the Apple Pie flavored Rum was amazing!! Like last year, there was some great live entertainment. The group I was with had a blast dancing to Raspberry Pie. They're a groovy 70's themed band who played tons of familiar disco hits as well as original tunes. Great event this year, definitely worth the price paid. Looking forward to next year's. Thank you Orlando Weekly!!
