When I was little, my dad's favorite place to take me was the movie theatre. I'm not sure I told him but I hated it. Why am I watching a movie in the DARK (scary) with strangers, in a chair that legitimately folds me inside of it (a guardian had to sit their leg on the edge of my seat to prevent this until I was heavy enough; around 3rd grade!) . I never have been a fan of movie theatres. IPIC is very different. No strangers

We purchased the front luxury seats…read moreexpecting a premium experience, but the seating arrangement was extremely cramped and uncomfortable. The seats were way too close together, and the person next to us had belongings spread into the shared space, making it very difficult to get in and out of our seats comfortably. Because of how uncomfortable the situation was, we decided to leave during the previews before the movie even started. We politely explained the issue to the manager and asked if we could either move to different seats -- even less expensive ones -- or receive some type of accommodation such as passes for another movie. Unfortunately, the manager refused to help in any way and would not issue a refund, exchange, or even offer courtesy tickets. For a theater that markets itself as a luxury experience and charges premium prices, I expected much better customer service. Other theaters like AMC are usually much more understanding and willing to work with customers when issues arise. Instead, we left feeling frustrated after paying for a movie we never got to watch. Sadly, this experience completely turned us off from coming back.

Dog shit. Hepatitis of the soul…read more This place is so old, tired, and depressing it would've been terrible in 1995, when Chuck E. Cheese was actually a hit. Everything feels like it's been slowly dying under fluorescent lights for 30 years. Half the games look like they're hanging on through a combination of duct tape, prayer, and parts scavenged from other dead Chuck E. Cheeses. The whole place has the unmistakable atmosphere of a casino that lost its gaming license and reopened exclusively for four-year-olds. The food is terrible. Not normal terrible. Federal-prison terrible. Pizza that tastes like the photograph of a pizza. Fries that somehow arrive both undercooked and exhausted. Even the soda tastes like it's given up. Reviews actually warn you not to order the fries, which is an extraordinary achievement for a restaurant whose culinary ambitions begin and end with feeding children potatoes. Most of the staff look high, out of it, or like they've spiritually left the building three shifts ago. Customer service operates somewhere between DMV and county lockup. The prize counter is the final circle of hell, where you wait 25 minutes so your child can exchange $47 worth of arcade credits for a plastic spider worth eleven cents. Other reviewers complain about long waits, disorganization, and bad management, so apparently this isn't just the hepatitis talking. And here's the fucking tragedy. My kid loved it. Of course he did. To a four-year-old, this isn't a decaying monument to 1990s American family entertainment. It's Monaco. It's Tokyo. It's Vegas with unlimited juice. Lights flashing. Machines screaming. Tickets pouring out. Giant mouse wandering around. Somewhere a child is having a birthday while another is melting down over a plastic slinky. He was having the time of his life. I was staring into the abyss. And the abyss was charging my Play Pass. FML.

The sun went down & the night skies lit up with digital & nature artwork & music. This is a self guided tour where you walk & view the artists exhibits outdoors along the trails of The Beautiful LA Arboretum. It was an extremely interesting experience as it seems these artists have one foot in the future & one step in the past at the same time. At one point I thought I was caught in The Twilight Zone in 2 different dimensions between the 60s & 2019. Some artists used old photographic lenses & cameras but put them in today's updated technology. One exhibit called The Flood combined sitar music with images of a country overwrought with rain on a triangular screen on the water. A mash up of digital pop & nature with sitar music reminiscent of Ravi Shankar at the 1960s Monterey Pop. One of the best pictures I took was of a bird on the water watching & listening to The Flood on the video screen. Animal Art Lovers who flew in for the exhibit. Who knew? LOL! We got some great exercise while enjoying the art exhibits. Some of the artists were on hand to discuss their various art pieces as well.

Chevy Chase Country Club was incredibly responsive and helpful from the very beginning, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. When we toured the Oak Grove ceremony space and learned we'd have access to a bridal suite for the day, we were SO excited. When we first visited, Matthew and Amy showed us around. The ENTIRE country club is so beautiful, from the Oak Grove and Cypress Trees to the staircases. As we became more serious about booking and completely fell in love with the space, Silvana and Ruben were quick to respond and provided a detailed meeting and breakdown of everything. The packages were clear and informative, and they were always willing to accommodate our needs. When Cassidy took over for the rehearsal and day-of coordination, she was absolutely amazing. She was extremely responsive via email, attentive to every detail, and even addressed things we didn't think to ask about. During the rehearsal and on the wedding day, she coordinated everything so seamlessly that both our families and we felt completely at ease thanks to her calm and supportive presence. She truly cared about making our day special, and it showed in every detail. Our family members were so impressed by the venue, accommodations, and staff that they're already talking about hosting future events here. Thank you, Cassidy and team. We highly recommend this venue and hope to be back again soon! :)

From the valet, to security, cake cutting, vendor organization, and wedding planner, menu tastings. Also, we had a private bridal suite, groom conference area, and living room, private balcony, and private bathrooms on the second floor for our families.

You pay for exactly what you get. Which is Great value and excellent service. It's been about 10 days since our wedding. And we still receive compliments from our guests on how beautiful the evening was, and how the dinner was super yummy.

The Santa Anita Race Track is very open, big and beautiful! It's a great place to watch some horse races while sipping on wine. Got a good deal on this event through Goldstar and paid about $25 for a ticket when normally they're about $50. For $25 I got to keep an acrylic wine glass as well as 12 tickets for 12, 2oz wine tastings at various booths. Wine vendors: overall not that great of quality... maybe I just picked the wrong ones but didn't find a wine there I was really impressed by Food vendors: Pretty good! There were some pastry booths as well as cookie booths, very good! Food trucks: Lots of big name food trucks were there with a great seating area! Would I come back again? Probably not. Don't think I would have paid full price for this event considering the wine wasn't of the best quality? Also the crowd that came was really interesting.... It's like people tried to dress well for the racetrack but gave up half way... great for people watching

For $25 we got 12 tastings, an acrylic wine glass, a tip sheet and program for the day. It was a beautiful day at the racetrack and it wasn't too crowded. We valeted our car and checked into the event very easily. There were several food trucks to choose from next to the main booth where we picked up our tasting tickets and the lines weren't too bad. As for the wine tasting itself-- meh. The event was from noon to 5pm. It would have been nice if there were more wineries and if they had brought more wine. Several of them were out of wine by 2pm and all but a couple were out by 4pm. We had a lot of tickets leftover, which is disappointing. I love the racetrack, but I'm not sure if I would come back for this event. Definitely not for the full ticket price of $50/person for general admission.
