First time attending the Highland Games located at Brengle terrace park. Purchased tickets online…read more Cars are lined through the streets but there's two entrances. The main gate or at the McClellan center both are $10. The annual event is nicely situated throughout these park grounds. Paved walkways with one slope down to the field area. The Scottish accent will soon travel from your gut to your tongue and chule foind new experiences emerging tru des lands. On the far East end there's sheep dog herding. It was pretty incredible seeing these border collies move on the command of a whistle. Just like in Babe.. I began to long for a pig to do just the same. There's a nice kids playground and dedicated area to practice their own Highland Game skills. Pipe bands are a thing! Who knew. Competitions were in progress when we arrived. The first food area is just past the band tents with a few umbrella tables connecting to the tented beer garden featuring live bands like Bad Haggis. Decently priced food and beverages for a festival. The athletics area is on the lower field this is where the men and women will be competing throughout the day. This is also where the main stage and shaded seating area will be along with merch and food vendors. Opening and closing ceremonies will feature all the bagpipe bands marching through the lower field onto the main stage area. Overall 5 stars being that the crowd was a good bunch with kindred spirit. All there for a good time enjoying traditional Scottish competitions, music and food.

Awesome day of fun and culture. Sheep herding dogs, the games including caber tossing (they like to…read morethrow things) ,pipes, drums and bands filling the air with glorious sounds.

Tribal police were great about showing us where the disabled parking was, and the vendors who were showing their wares were not only talented and creative (the intricate beadwork and handmade items were remarkable), but they were also reasonably priced. The traditional songs and dancing felt like coming home again after so many years. The Pala Rez is the closest to where I live now, and they were gracious hosts to those who'd come from places near and far to display their talents and represent their own people so brilliantly. Since this was a weekend long event rather than a trip to an established business or other public place, I thought it would be more appropriate to thank everyone who made this event such a deeply moving and spiritually uplifting experience. I brought my youngest son to his very first Powwow, along with some of our friends... we all had a fantastic time, met some great people, and left with a sense of connection and spiritual joy that words cannot begin to adequately express. Much love!

Came today to see their Tractor Show with my son. He is 1.5 years old and obsessed with tractors. A…read morelot of old machinery outdoors. A bit of a steep price of $10 to get in. We went to the farmhouse and saw cookies being offered but I seemed to have offended these ladies when I asked if any of their items had peanuts because of my son having a peanut allergy. It was a simple question but they were so mean about it. Not too sure if I'll come visit again. It was quite a drive and the volunteers at the farmhouse definitely rubbed me the wrong way about my food allergy question.

Located on the outskirts of Vista, on a giant piece of land you will find the AGSEM…read more There is a huge parking lot, and after a rain storm it will be muddy and have potholes, so go slow, be careful. Park and make your way over to the visitor center / gift shop (across from the barn) and pay your entry free or buy the membership pass which comes with 1 year membership, 4 guest passes, etc. The place is pretty large, and if you move quickly, don't talk to anyone, and breeze through the exhibits, and items you can get through in 60-90 minutes. If you have time, and are there on a Saturday, there are lectures and exhibits that are open, like the model train, blacksmith, weavers, etc. Sometimes the place is rented out for special events, and sometimes they have special days like the Antique Engine and Tractor Show. The place is huge and run by many volunteers, and not many docents walking around so grab a map and go explore. Definitely plenty of old, vintage, rusted items including steam engines, tractors, cars, signs, gas pumps, etc. The model train exhibit has been a work in progress for over 15 years, but is 1/164 scale of the donner pass area and they just started building a new section that will be a work in progress for many years.

We chose The Vineyard 1924 for our recent Wedding Celebration. I had been an occasional guest a…read morefew years back when I used to live in the area, and always loved the ambiance. We had to plan this event from 3000 miles away, and they were incredibly helpful and courteous. They helped us find a great wedding coordinator, DJ, food vendor, and wine selection. On the day of the event, The Vineyard performed perfectly. I got a ton of compliments and I'm pretty sure our local guests will become regular patrons. The entire process was magical, and we can't thank the entire staff of the Vineyard enough. We will always be big fans and can't recommend them any more highly. This is a very special place.

Straight up, a FIVE-STAR venue! Online ticket purchases are a breeze. Parking is a non-issue with…read moreplenty of parking all around the theater. We have been there for bands, magic shows, seasonal shows etc. and have not been disappointed. The featured cover bands are the best! Anyway, walking into the theater is like walking into someone's home. The staff treats you like family! It is the complete OPPOSITE of all the stressful hoops you have to jump through at a large arena style event. The lobby is quite comfortable and has a lot of artifacts showing the amazing history of the resort. Will probably take a few visits to go through it all. One last thing. They made an error on their schedule which resulted in me having tickets on two different dates of the same event. Rather than send an email, they personally called me and gave me options that quickly resolved the issue! Although we've been guests at Welk's Theater for just over a year, I sure wish I had known about them sooner...

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was disappointing from start to finish…read more Check-in was advertised for 4:00 p.m., but we didn't get our room until nearly 8:30 p.m., costing us hours of the vacation we paid for. Throughout our stay, we requested basic necessities like fresh towels and soap refills, but they never arrived despite multiple requests. On checkout day, housekeeping walked into our room at 9:00 a.m., a full hour before the 10:00 a.m. checkout, while we were still getting dressed. Our privacy was completely disregarded. I was also repeatedly singled out because of my service dog. Multiple employees yelled, "You better clean up after your dog," even though I was visibly carrying waste bags and had done nothing wrong. It was humiliating and showed a lack of training on how to appropriately interact with guests who use service animals. To make matters worse, I unexpectedly started my period and needed pads before the gift shop opened. Because the resort had no way to help and the trams were so unreliable, I had to walk all the way down the steep hill just to get basic hygiene supplies. For a resort of this size, that level of guest support is unacceptable. The most concerning part of our stay was the Russian tortoise in the kids' center. I am the founder of The Wise Frog Reptile Rescue and have spent more than 11 years rescuing and rehabilitating reptiles. The tortoise appeared to lack proper UVB and heat, and its shell was in alarming condition. I brought my concerns to staff, but they showed little interest in addressing them. My children were heartbroken because they immediately recognized the animal appeared to be in distress. An animal should never be displayed for children if its welfare is being overlooked. Between the delayed check-in, ignored requests, lack of privacy, treatment over my service dog, unreliable transportation, and concerns about animal welfare, this resort fell far short of the experience we expected. I hope management takes these issues seriously and makes meaningful changes for both guests and the animals in their care

Nothing brings people together better than delicious food and drinks. At the flower field for the "best of north county food festival". This is my very first time attending a food festival, it won't be my last for sure. Tips for the event: arrive at least 15 minutes early to wait in line. Always go with a group of friends, it is more fun. They have dancing music so wear dancing shoes if possible. Dancing is good after eating buffet-style food. wink. Fun atmosphere, good to try out local restaurants you have never been to. Some of them are newly opened.

Parking was a little confusing since you had to make your own spot as it got super crowded at one point but thankfully it wasn't an issue since we left plenty of time. If you're coming here to run a race or ride bikes, plan for it to be windy and full of dust. I'm glad we had face coverings! My only complaint for Spartan is they didn't have more places for shade because it got pretty toasty at 80 degrees. Otherwise, it was a great location and a great set up for a race! We're hooked and already planning our next race for the trifecta this year

I attended a motocross race here as a spectator, and unfortunately the experience was overshadowed…read moreby how poorly the event was managed. The biggest issue was traffic control. We actually left before the race was even over, yet it still took us nearly four hours just to get out of the parking lot. During that entire time, I only saw one person directing traffic. For an event drawing this many people, there clearly needs to be a better plan for parking lot management and exit flow. The parking lot itself became a chaotic, jam-packed standstill. What was even more concerning was the number of kids and young people I witnessed openly snorting what appeared to be cocaine while everyone was stuck waiting to leave. Seeing that kind of behavior taking place so openly was shocking and created an uncomfortable atmosphere for families and other spectators. The racing may have been good, but the lack of traffic management and the concerning behavior I observed in the parking areas made this a disappointing experience overall. Significant improvements are needed before I would consider attending another event here.
