We had my nieces birthday party yesterday on 8/30/2026. The staff there were AMAZING. From start to…read morefinish, they were so kind, professional, and attentive. Our party host was phenomenal. Some of the staff even took time to come in and compliment me on the homemade panda themed cake I made. The photographer was also amazing! She was great with the kids, took some beautiful photos, and gifted a photo album to my sister of some fun moments! This alone was such a thoughtful gesture and almost had my sister in tears! The staff had the room decorated with the decor we provided ahead of time so all we had to do was show up and enjoy. And if you don't want to decorate a specific theme?? No problem! They decorate the room in their colorful birthday supplies! Oh, and the whole facility was extremely clean and organized. They had everything you could need so if you forgot anything, they had you covered!! They even bring in their mascot (who is massive) and get the kids together for group photos with him. It was so unique and fun, the kids loved it! I've read the other reviews where people are complaining about the staff cleaning up before everyone was gone, but instead of seeing that as a bad thing, I helped them clean up so they could start setting up for the next family. It was the human thing to do. Being kind is free. I wish more people could slow down and show some compassion. My kids are all older now but I wish this place had been around when planning parties in the past. I will definitely recommend FunBox to anyone looking for a stress free and fun birthday party. I wish I had gotten the names of our hostess and photographer. They deserve kudos and recognition for their part in making my nieces birthday party above and beyond special.

Cute park for my 2 year old!…read more It's great to know that the toddlers don't get left out of the fun here- there are enough rides that will entertain them until nap time. Upon entrance there's a height chart to see what rides your child qualifies for. You buy tickets to ride the rides - I recommend getting a bulk pack for extra savings. Tickets can roll over to future visits and don't expire. They have fair-style food - the hand dipped corn dog was yummy! My toddler enjoyed the airplane, car and the tea cup rides. Recommend going early as it fills up toward the afternoon.

This is a great amusement park for younger kids. We took our 2 and 4 year old kids here and they…read moreboth LOVED it! The train, cars, and airplanes were faves. They were excited to try the roller coaster, but they did not end up liking it. The snack shack is great too and they have a variety of options for kids including pretzels, applesauce, and other foods. The ticket system was interesting and I think an overall admissions process might be better. We stayed for about an hour and a half and rode almost every ride twice. Great customer service too!

Our experience at Great Wolf Lodge Manteca was very good and a lot of fun. The water slides and…read moreattractions were exciting, especially for younger kids. Teens and older kids can still have a great time, but I think it's best suited for families with younger children. One thing to keep in mind is that it's expensive. Rooms can range from about $200-$400 per night on weekends and during holidays. If you want to save money, I recommend visiting in August, January, or on weekdays like Tuesday or Wednesday, when it's usually less crowded. Also, be prepared to spend extra on activities and food. Many activities cost an additional $10-$20 unless you purchase a Wolf Pass or Paw Pass, which can provide better value. If you're trying to save money, plan ahead. For example, instead of buying the 12 oz candy cup for around $10, consider purchasing the refillable kids' favorite cup and bringing your own candy from a store like Target. Small choices like that can help reduce the overall cost. Overall, we had a great time, but it's definitely not a budget-friendly vacation. If you plan ahead and budget for the extras, it's a fun experience for the whole family.

Check-in was super easy, and the front desk staff was really friendly and helpful. Our room wasn't supposed to be ready until 4 PM, but we got a text around 1 PM letting us know it was ready early, which was a nice surprise! We spent the afternoon swimming and having fun at the water park before heading back to our room. For lunch, we grabbed burgers at Bucket Burgers. It was a little pricey, but honestly, that's kind of expected when you're eating on-site. We booked the Grizzly Room and were pleasantly surprised by how much space we had. It had TWO full bathrooms, which was such a huge plus for our family! Everything was clean and nicely maintained. There were so many fun things to do that we honestly didn't even take that many pictures because we were too busy enjoying ourselves Overall, we had a great time celebrating our daughter's birthday. It was a fun family weekend, everyone enjoyed themselves, and we'd definitely come back again!

I would rate a 10 star if I could but this app only lets me do 5 stars. And after the tour you can buy your photo with them at the gift shop for you and your group which is super awesome. I know on you tube theirs a few videos that show the expedition tour but I myself can't even fit in those tight spaces let alone deal with the claustrophobia and fear of heights this was a good and safe tour for me. Thank you guys for providing this! Also heads up for anyone planning on going to spiral tour the stairs is a long way up and a long way down make sure to have a camera strap for your cameras or phones so you do not drop it or lose it. Thanks to all the tour guides and staff! Great job!

Avery's birthday at Discovery Kingdom was an absolute blast!…read more We spent a good six hours at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom for Avery's birthday, and this was honestly such a fun first big amusement-park experience for our family. Avery had an absolute blast from the moment we got there until it was time to leave. The Looney Tunes characters were probably the biggest highlight for him because Looney Tunes is his favorite, and Wile E. Coyote is his absolute favorite character. We happened to catch Wile E. while he was closing down his picture area, but he still stopped to say hi to Avery. When Avery told him it was his birthday, Wile E. actually stopped what he was doing and brought him back over to the picture area so they could take a photo together. That was such a sweet little moment, especially because he didn't have to do that. We also caught the 3:30 Looney Tunes dance show, although we got there a little late and couldn't get seats because we were on the other side of the park. Avery didn't care -- he was out there dancing like he was part of the cast. One of the service team members noticed how much he was dancing and told me that if we came back around 4:15 for the 4:30 show, Avery might have a chance to get picked to go onstage for his birthday. And IT WORKED. Avery got picked to go onstage! He wanted to be on Team Bugs because Bugs had won the previous dance show, but he ended up on Team Daffy instead... and Team Daffy WON! He was so proud of himself and had the absolute time of his life. Watching him have that much fun on his birthday was easily one of my favorite parts of the entire day. We rode basically every ride Avery was tall enough and comfortable enough to ride, explored the butterfly garden, saw the lions and giraffes, watched the shows, ate pizza and breadsticks with our food pass, grabbed drinks, and still managed to squeeze in more rides afterward. There is definitely plenty to do here even if you're not spending the entire day on roller coasters. One warning, though: the Road Runner roller coaster is INTENSE. That thing has some serious whipping and an extremely abrupt stop. I would definitely prepare yourself for some unexpected movement because it is much more aggressive than I expected. Even some of the smaller kids might find it intimidating just because of how fast it moves. Know what you're getting yourself into before you climb on that one! Also, prepare to get your steps in. This park is big, and we walked A LOT. But honestly, that's part of the experience. There was always something else to go see, another character to find, another show to catch, or another ride to get on. For a first amusement park experience with our kids, I honestly couldn't have asked for a better day. Avery got to meet his favorite Looney Tunes character, dance onstage on his birthday, win a dance competition, see animals, explore the park, eat good food, and ride a bunch of rides. Everybody had fun, and it was absolutely worth the money we spent. This was our family's first real theme-park adventure, and it definitely opened the door for us to start checking out other parks too. Great America and the other California amusement parks are definitely going on the list, but Discovery Kingdom was a pretty damn good place to start. Six hours later, exhausted, stuffed, and with a very happy birthday boy? I'd call that a successful day.

I want to give a shout out to some of the excellent staff members from our visit today. Whoever…read moreplayed Bugs Bunny at 6pm was amazing and playful. Took my daughter's hat and pretended to wear it. Made for a fantastic moment. There was also a friendly guy who was observing the kids' rides (safety checks?) in Looney Tunes area. Now the not so good - Be aware: the entertainment division changed the Looney Tunes show (Tunetastic). It's AWFUL now. Think Mean Girls energy. Lots of DRAMA that is completely unnecessary for a children's audience. Way too LOUD. And they don't let children come anywhere near the stage to meet the characters like they used to. It used to be a fun, interactive, and inclusive DANCE PARTY FOR KIDS. We didn't see any Halloween themed stuff this year. Did it get canceled? More positive highlights - feeding the giraffes, a great value for just $10. Get there early! We also enjoyed the Wildlife Experience show - we saw a diverse array of animals. Overall, it was a fun experience for our group, although some experiences were closed (adventure zone and one of the restaurants). We still had a good time!

Appreciate this place so much more after going to gilroy gardens where wait times were ridiculous…read morefor some rides (over1hr before we gave up) & parking was $25. Here wait times are minimal (0-10min), rides are age appropriate for my toddler (only 1 she can't ride yet), and right by the zoo so we usually combine the 2 places. The playground area is usually closed on less busy days (no staff) but my kiddo finally went and she loved it, went again & again. The train is closed often too which stinks bc she loves trains. Parking is free bc it's in William Land park. Might have to walk a bit but better than Gilroy where you have to pay $25 AND walk a lot to get to your car. Face painting available for $15. Food available but we haven't ever bought. Overall good for littles. Tickets are affordable ($18 adults, $10 seniors, $25 kid, under 34" free, $90 season pass). A bit hot on the hot days bc we're in sac but more shade & breeze than expected. Lots of sitting areas. Small and has limited rides but my kiddo still enjoys spending about 2hrs each time.

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!

We visited on a Sunday, and it wasn't too crowded, which was nice because the kids had plenty of room to play.

It often seemed like no one was at the counter when assistance was needed. Overall, it was a fun experience, and I'd recommend it for families with young children.

They walked in with beautiful smiles. My 3-year-old left with both of his front teeth severely damaged. He was climbing on the volcano play structure, where multiple other children had also been climbing for some time. There were NO signs saying children could not climb on it, and no staff stopping or redirecting the kids. Instead, the staff nearby were socializing and talking rather than actively monitoring the play area. The volcano structure shoots out plastic balls, and the force of the balls struck him directly in the mouth. One of his front teeth was knocked out on impact and, to this day, is somewhere in that ball pit. So if you find a tooth while there, it's my sons. His other front tooth was also severely damaged. After 3 months of appointments with pediatric dental specialists trying to save it, he is now scheduled for surgery under general anesthesia to have it removed. We were also told there could be damage to his developing adult teeth, but we won't know the extent until they grow in over the next 3-4 years. As a parent, it is heartbreaking knowing that a day meant to be fun has turned into months of dental appointments, procedures, and now surgery for my 3-year-old. What is especially upsetting is that this accident was preventable. A structure that children can climb on needs appropriate safety measures, clear warnings, and active supervision. On top of that, after I spoke with the owner following the accident, she has never once called or checked in to see how my son is doing or what they could do to help. Their response and overall lack of care have been incredibly disappointing. I sincerely hope no other child or family has to go through what we have, so I'm posting this as a fair warning to other parents.
