    My 3 adult sons and I were visiting Monterey for the day and decided to do the Mirror Maze. At first the boys were rolling their eyes thinking it's for kids only but once they stepped inside that all changed....nothing but laughs and smiles lol. We had so much fun we decided to keep going...with and without the glasses. Great spot for all ages!!

    Took our 12yo girls to aquarium of course and was looking for another Quick activity for them to do. Located on the walkway near the Sugar Candy store. Prices were$$ Paid entrance gets you unlimited times in maze. First time, it took the girls less than a 10 minutes or to complete and then afterwards they wanted us to time them to get through. They seemed to enjoy it. I'm glad I didn't go inside as it did seem like a very small maze.

    We came in one night just for fun and had an AMAZING time!!! After going through the maze (once to get a feel and a second time with kaleidoscope glasses), we decided on some friendly girls vs boys competition in the lazer maze. Let's just say we had to rematch because the girls knocked it out of the park. Super fun experience!

    We stopped into this place after the aquarium and it was so much fun! I've never been in a maze like this and the lights, music, and overall ambience made this a really special experience. What a cool little place to have on that strip of Monterey.

    My kids made it to #5! They were so proud :)

    We had a blast! Not cheap, but the kids had so much fun in the mirror maze and laser maze. It was a unique and fun experience. It was clean and not overly crowded. The manager was friendly and professional. My kids want to go back every day we are in town.

    I always like to preface my reviews with the fact that I grew up in the Bay Area, San Jose born and…read moreraised, and I'm an elder millennial, which means I remember life here before all the tech people invaded our Valley of the Heart's Delight. That said, the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is STILL pure California magic, even if it's now overcrowded and overpriced. There's something so special about this place, from the old school rides like the Pirate Ship, the Giant Dipper, the arcade aka Casino, to the beach, the food, and that perfect mix of nostalgia and fun. It somehow still feels like stepping back in time, and experiencing it with my toddler recently made it even more memorable. We had the BEST day and will absolutely be back. My one complaint, aside from too many people: HOW are the Boardwalk and surrounding merch shops not fully stocked with The Lost Boys gear?! This is literally Santa Carla! Give us the T-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, posters--all of it. The movie is such an iconic part of Santa Cruz pop culture, and they are seriously missing an opportunity here. What are you guys thinking at The Walk?! Otherwise, such a fantastic, nostalgic California experience.

    Whenever I hear the name "Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk", the thought of the warm California sun,…read moreocean waves, deep-fried food, and happy kids on all the thrill rides enters my mind. This is not just an all-year amusement park; this place is an institution that is permanently part of the Santa Cruz culture and history. Since I spent my entire childhood as a kid growing up in the Bay Area, I frequented this place on multiple occasions. Ever since its historic grand opening back in 1907, it is currently California's oldest surviving amusement park and has undergone numerous changes over the decades. Getting here is fairly simple as it runs parallel to Highway 1 (Pacific Coast Highway) as well as Highway 9 and the more heavily traveled Highway 17. It is roughly 45 min to an hour south of San Jose and about an hour north of Monterey. Entrance into the boardwalk itself does not cost anything. However, parking rates range anywhere from $15 to $35 depending on the day of the week and time of year you plan on visiting. The boardwalk itself stretches roughly 1-mile long over 24 acres complete with 3 different rollercoasters (with the biggest being the Giant Dipper), a dedicated water ride, a merry-go-round, a ferris wheel, and a ton of rides for children younger than 12 years old. In addition to all the ride attractions, there are a ton of various food vendors. Everything ranging from hot dogs, burgers, seafood, Mexican food, and a ton of dessert stands. My lady and I decided on indulging in some smashburgers with fries & a drink which kept us full throughout the day (as we were here in between 11am-2:30pm on Saturday 9/5/2026). I think there's something special about enjoying comfort food and taking it down to the beach area while soaking up the sun. It absolutely brought back childhood memories for both of us. Some of the other major attractions include an arcade, bowling alley, and Cocoanut Grove which was a non-gambling casino back in the early 20th century. During the non-summer months, the boardwalk also hosts themed events for Halloween and Christmas. Additionally, they also show movies and even live music. Finally, they have a ton of vendors that sell merchandise (hats, t-shirts, magnets, bags, etc.) related to the boardwalk, Santa Cruz, and everything in between. And if you live close to here or plan on coming frequently, they sell season passes as well as wristbands for unlimited rides. My recommendation is when arriving here, dress accordingly. Santa Cruz has a climate where it could be 70°F, sunny and balmy in the middle of winter or 55°F, foggy and cold in the middle of summer. That's why bring a sweatshirt of flip-flops. And if you dare to go in the Pacific Ocean (which can be freezing), pack some swim attire. All in all, the "Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk" definitely has that nostalgic vibe to it; no matter what age you are. It may not be the prettiest place since it has shown its age, but it has a lot of charm. My rating, an above average four stars.

    Gilroy Gardens is a hidden gem. It is tucked far away from the freeways and there is nothing around…read moreit, not even shopping centers, hotels or even a gas station. Admission is quite steep but if you have a Great America gold pass, you can enter the park for free. Parking is $25 and up. Just as the name suggests, Gilroy Gardens is filled with beautiful gardens in every corner. You'll find the prettiest flowers, super tall trees, bamboo, a variety of plants, and so much more landscaping all around. And of course, there are the fun rides! I have gone to Gilroy Gardens a few times now and I enjoy the roller coasters, the ferris wheel, the train, and the paddle boat. However, the paddle boat moves painfully slow. A short line could be deceiving. It can take 1 hour or more. I wished they added more boats or make the process more efficient. The food at the park is delish! Head over to the grill restaurant near the water park for freshly grilled corn, chicken skewers and corn in a cup. I love the churros here more than at Great America. The churros are perfectly soft on the inside and lightly crispy on the outside. And you can't be hanging out in Gilroy without having some Gilroy garlic fries! The garlic fries right by the paddle boats is so good! The fries are crispy and are not soggy at all. If you ever want to enjoy a relaxing day on a train, lake, boat, eating delicious foods and snacks, I highly recommend Gilroy Gardens!

I do appreciate the opportunity for a free visit but would like to see different sponsors and maybe have them stay a bit longer.

    For anyone that is a fan of visual anomalies that simply defy the laws of physics and gravity, I…read morewould definitely put the "Mystery Spot" in Santa Cruz, CA on anyone's bucket list of quirky and interesting things to do. I am a science enthusiast as this attraction has been on my radar for quite some time. Located in a secluded redwood forest amongst the beautiful Santa Cruz mountains, this very popular tourist destination was discovered back in 1939 while being officially opened to the general public in 1940. Since then, this wildly popular destination has brought thousands of people over the years while it officially became a designated a California Historical Landmark in 2014. After making reservations online through their website, https://www.mysteryspot.com (which is highly recommended), I came here during the afternoon on Friday 9/4/2026 for a 12:00pm reservation. The drive in was absolutely breathtaking, serene, and tranquil as the bright sun was shining through the redwoods. In case you're wondering, it is about a 40-minute drive (roughly 30 miles) south from San Jose as you can arrive here north from Granite Creek Rd or south from Branciforte Dr. The signs leading here are clearly visible while the dedicated parking lot makes it simple for anyone who's never ventured here before. My lady and I arrived around 11:45am as we were able to park, take some photos of the exterior grounds, and even checked out their gift shop. If you do plan on purchasing same day tickets, they sell for $12 (as of late-2026) and are available in the gift shop. In addition to the tickets, this is where you can purchase Mystery Spot clothing, mugs, magnets, keychains, books, and other various gifts. If you do plan on arriving extra early, there is also a 30-minute self-guided hiking trail where you can see the vast plant and animal life. While on the trail, you are gifted with a variety of beautiful redwood, oak, and eucalyptus trees. Best of all, this trail is opened year-round and even better, dogs are welcome as much of the trail is fairly simple. When our tour officially began, a group of about 20 of us were all greeted by Bonnie, one of the staff members that told us about the history behind the Mystery Spot. We walked up a fairly steep trail while demonstrating visual illusions that included balls rolling uphill, water pouring at an upward angle and people leaning farther than normally possible without falling down. Once we made our way into the actual Mystery Spot house, we all tested ourselves on a balancing beam when visually, we were leaning forward when in reality, we were on a leveled surface. All in all, the "Mystery Spot" is absolutely worth checking out if you're into science and how visually distorted illusions are represented. Especially when our senses feel more heavy and weighed down. To be honest, I haven't been to a place like this since I was a kid visiting the Exploratorium in San Francisco. For some, this is something I do not recommend for the more sensitive groups that suffer from vertigo and dizziness. However, my experience was one that was absolutely fascinating. With the overall experience, amazing tour (which lasted around 45 minutes), and enjoying this history of this, I am giving the "Mystery Spot" in Santa Cruz a perfect five-star rating.
