I love when a theater location has plenty of parking!…read more I prefer buying tickets ahead of time; it saves the hassle of using the kiosks, and I already have my seats picked out. No fuss, no muss. When we arrived, I had my QR code ready from my email, and getting scanned in was quick and easy. We used the restroom when we got there (no line, which was nice) but they were running low on paper towels. It was funny because the concession line was almost nonexistent as we came in, but by the time we headed over, it had gotten really long. That said, the employee who helped us was quick and efficient, and even recommended a combo that fit what we wanted. The auditorium itself felt a bit dated, I do wish they had upgraded to those recliner-style seats. After the movie, my partner noticed a spill on the floor and pointed it out to two employees walking by. Unfortunately, they either didn't hear us or chose to ignore it, which was a bit disappointing. We stopped by the restrooms again before leaving. This time, my stall was low on toilet paper, and in the men's restroom, the urinals weren't working, leaving only two stalls available. We chose this location mainly for convenience since we were trying a new lunch spot nearby, but overall, it was a mixed experience.

Regal is my go-to place in the East Bay Area for movies. They have various types of screens,…read moreincluding IMAX and 4DX. They also offer recliner seats for select screens, and good variety of snacks and drinks. I definitely recommend this theater if you are in the Dublin/Pleasanton area. Customer service can be a hit or miss, therefore, I took off a star.

BRING YOUR OWN FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…read more DO NOT BUY ANY CONCESSIONS!!!! A bottle soda and SMALL bag of candy is $17! And the prices are not set and will change depending if they think you're rich. I was going to buy a bottle soda and a bag of penut m&ms and was horrified when it was rung up as $16 then put the soda back and they said the candy alone will be $7, put the candy back, the movie was long so I decided to buy the $7 candy, new person at the register and he tells me the candy is $8.75 plus tax when he saw my ring and then was rude to me when I asked why the price is now $8.75 and not $7. Go to the dollar tree beforehand and sneak it in, do not give them money and reward their price goauging.

Recently we had the occasion to venture away from home to see a new movie at the Livermore 13…read moreCinema West. Here are my impressions: First, I got an offer from Fandango to attend a screening of the new Wicked film, Wicked for Good. Without reading the fine print, I clicked on the accept button and found myself committed to driving from Modesto to Livermore for the show. That's OK as we enjoy the nearby Cattlemen's Restaurant and so went there for dinner beforehand. Life was good. After dinner, we scooted over to the parking near the theater and heading to the entrance. Unfortunately our Google took us the long ways around (when going from the parking to the entrance, cross the street, then turn LEFT to get into the place. Right works but will double the time and steps. From the start, we found the staff friendly and quite helpful, the automation to convert our printed code to actual tickets a little challenging at first but if we came a second time, we would have it nailed. The place was well run, clean, (bathrooms and theater) with the quality of the sound system spot on, and the screening, state of the art. We highly recommend the Livermore 13 Cinema - Cinema West if you live closer than we do!

First time here in well over a decade. The seats look the same except they added a few 2 seater…read morecouches. We came here for a free event during the weekday and parking was a walk in the park, we got there in time to grab one of the many couches, and we had a great time! We ordered popcorn and popcorn shrimp. Popcorn - meh, there is so much better popcorn at other movie theatres. I don't think I would order again. Popcorn shrimp - no worth it. Tiny small shrimp wrapped in a lot of batter. You taste the batter more than the actual shrimp. Definitely would not order again.

Very fun haunted house for adults. It is as good and as scary as it gets - and seemingly there are…read moreno corners cut - so much effort and money is put into decorations and costumes. Been a while since I've been but I have great memories here with college friends. We went with a big group and even the one grumpus in the group admitted he enjoyed it in the end (no I'm not talking about myself). The characters are amazing. They stay in character when you talk to them and put 110% into it. I think there are a couple other similar places to enjoy on Halloween - Great America does something and Winchester Mystery House might also be fun from what I hear.

I've been coming to Pirates of Emerson since 2021, and it's always such a blast! They've got four…read morehaunted houses, and this year they added three new games--which were awesome! The only downside was the lines; they were crazy long this year, and there seemed to be a much younger crowd (lots of middle schoolers). It might be cool if they made it 18+ to help keep the lines more manageable. Most of my night was spent waiting, but honestly, it's still one of my favorite Halloween traditions. Maybe next year they can add a couple more haunted houses to spread things out!

The seats weren't the comfiest. When entering the theater there is a small concession area to the right for snacks, beverages, and alcoholic drinks. There's an array of beautiful displayed paintings in the lobby and wrapped around the lobby from the California Watercolor Association. There's a coat check, bathrooms, and wheelchair access. There's an array of performances offered to suit your artistic taste.

I can't quite remember how I stumbled upon finding this company but I absolutely loved the options, the structure and with it being a newer company as this is its first Yelp review (check out their awesome Google reviews)-- I was open to giving it a shot blindly and I was NOT disappointed. In fact, I had a lot of great feedback from the guests that this was one of the funnest birthday parties they've been to! There's a selection of activities. The celebrant opted for t-shirt making, vinyl stickers, and clay making. Upon entrance, the team already had table cloths, simple balloons, and birthday decors. They also had cups, utensils, and plates readily available. Check in was smooth - I encourage guests who choose to celebrate here to make sure to write on your invitation to come on time since we waited for majority of the party to come to begin. (They were gracious with family and friends being on Filipino time!) The team was phenomenal and hands on. They knew how to guide really rowdy kids into structure and they didn't skip a beat. They took time to individually teach and check in on each child. After shirts, we made our way upstairs for making stickers and the kids had such a blast. They came back down for their clay projects and finished the day with food. The party was 2 hours and I felt like it was the perfect amount of time. It flew by fast and the crew was quick with clean up as well. We definitely will be returning! They do have summer camps and if we lived closer, we would definitely be coming more often. Loved their staff-- incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and such a pleasure to work with. Please consider them for future parties! You won't regret it!

The studio manager, Joe was very responsive, easy to work with, flexible and accommodating. The venue offers several creative, hands on activities that entertained all our guests, ages 7 to 18. There is a spacious party area to enjoy food and cake. You can bring your own food and decor or go through the venue for quick and easy planning. The staff helping during the party were all great and helpful to all of our guests. Would definitely recommend Create It for a new and fun party venue.
