    Two wheel struggle
    Sam S.

    My family and I love this place. We are able to drive on one of the best tracks in the United States and they always have me covered with parts when my skill lacks.

    I don't think these hours are correct. Two days in a row I've been here at the wrong time.

    I want to like this place because it seems super awesome. However, I checked their website schedule which stated the driving clinic was every Saturday at 0800. There was nothing indicating differently, and it was still on the schedule. Being that I actually had today off I got up early to give it a shot. I arrived to find myself sitting there alone with nobody else in the lot. At 0800 I checked the door and it was locked and nobody was inside that I could see. It's quite a drive to get here for me and I really wanted to do the beginner class to get at least some idea of what to do. I'll be back, but I really hope subsequent experiences are better. Please, if you're not going to have the driving clinic don't have it on your schedule on the website. Update: I actually went today and was able to drive. There were a ton of people there. It became a cluster at times and they had to do five minute practice rotations. But, holy CRAP! It was so much fun. I'll be back for sure.

    So much FUN! I brought my 2 boys here after months of nagging. The guys working there were very helpful and friendly. We rented 2 rc cars for $25 each. The cars were great! Super fast. Easy to control. And the boys had such a good time. They had a little spot in the back where they could practice driving the cars before they took them out to the track. An additional battery is $10, so I got one. The boys had a great time we will come here again. They say you can bring any car and race it on the track, and if your car gets hung up just go out to the track and unhang it. spectating is really fun. The track is well maintained and we liked it

    A bumpy start for our first time so here's my advice. Call before you show up (probably a day or two in advance so you can plan what you want to do). The info on the web page isn't really reflective of what's going on there. I planned to bring my son here for his 12th bday so we could both rent cars and race during practice time. When we arrived we found out they no longer do rentals and you need to bring your own RC car. I had tried calling a number of times the hour before we got there but the phone was busy every time. It could have been an epic bday mom fail but the guys put together a car that was being worked on and let us use that - so thankful! We stood in the middle of the track so when he flipped his car (which was quite a bit in the beginning) we'd flip it back over. It's warm in there but they have fans and cold drinks for purchase. The staff were laid back and the mgr/owner? gave us a bday hookup (probably for the phone and website issues) when we left so we were pleasantly surprised by that. Now my son wants to go back and watch their race nights...and my fiancé and I want to do a fun date night there

    If you're an R/C guy or gal you should check this place out. Indoor venue with "almost" Nascar quality pit areas complete with power outlets and more to work on your buggy etc. I wish they had a place like this in the Seattle area in the 90's...I'd probably be working and living there!

    Thank you Travis you the man. About to build my TLR 22 4.0

    Went in today to take a look and brought a new RC truck! There indoor track is bad ass and the knowledge of the industry is amazing. Advised me on what I needed and said if I have any trouble setting up my new rid they would help me free of charge. Customer service goes along way with me and they def have it. Thanks guys see you soon!

    Top notch facility & track. Visited here from OC while on a business trip. Excellent pit spaces, consistent track grooming (auto misters & lawn blowers every hour or so). Fully stocked pro shop & friendly staff. Cleanest track I've ever been to. (No mud or dirt everywhere off track/restrooms/pits etc)

    My b5m I I assembled and built at the track.

I really enjoy the beautiful gardens, historic buildings, and unique Spanish style architecture. The area around the California Tower is especially beautiful. Walking around here and taking in the peaceful atmosphere is always a nice experience. I usually park in one of the parking lots inside the park (around $10). If you are lucky, you may find free parking in the surrounding areas, but honestly, parking can be difficult, especially on busy days. What I like most about Balboa Park is that you don't need to visit all the museums to enjoy this place. You can simply walk around, enjoy the gardens, take pictures, and relax. One thing to keep in mind is that the park is very large. If you don't plan ahead, you may end up walking more than expected. But that is also what makes this place special , every visit gives you a chance to see something different.

I would recommend a light jacket-- of course depending on the day. They have clean restrooms with sinks to wash your hands outside, but no paper towels or drying station.

There's also a row of small fountains for kids to play, run through and splash in. Cons: It's a really nice park ON A COOL DAY. Lately, with temperatures 10 to 19° above "normal average" - or maybe it's just the new normal - it's hard to recall the last time we got to experience a cool day. But here, the way the gazebos, tables, and benches are set up reflects a pretty severe case of denial that this is Southern California, and not quite within walking distance from the beach. It WILL get hot whenever it damn pleases, with or without notice. It did so in February already, in case you missed it. We came a few times for the farmers market. Both days were unfortunately " 80°F" her weather report, which in reality feels like 92°F, and we had to scramble to find a little bit of shade, so that we could eat our street food without passing out from heat stroke. We huddled awkwardly on the curb under a small tree. Other people passing by with food in their hands looked at us with envy. NOT A SINGLE PERSON sat on the readily available benches with tables, because they were in the blazing sun, yet lacked any shade. Never mind an umbrella, not even holes to put one in!! Denial much?? It's really sad, because it's a beautiful place. It just DESPERATELY needs more shade for the visitors to feel comfortable without clinging to trees or the bathroom walls.

I came here at 6:45am and was able to find parking literally right at the cove, so come early, its worth it. Lots of wildlife hanging out there. I saw a bunch of sea lions sleeping, tons of cormorants and lots of badass pelicans flying and scooping down for food. By 7am, I was in the water and there were already plenty of people here. I tried out my wetsuit with all my gear and everything worked well. I wasn't too hot in my 4/3 wetsuits. Visibility was crap today and couldn't see much. I'll have to come back again to see if visibility improves. I got out in 30 minutes, no point wasting time with cloudiness. I used the local showers to get the sand and saltwater off myself and gear. Public bathrooms also available. After getting out, I walked around a bit and it was a lovely day. Beautiful area, no wonder everyone likes coming here. I'll be back!

    Okay, I'm gonna start off this review by saying everything is perfect (besides one CRUCIAL thing)…read more The atmosphere, the beds, the town, the restaurants, and the living room are great. The negative thing is the shower... This is the worst shower in the entire universe. This pathetic excuse for a shower was so bad that I started reconsidering life. The shower water, straight from the ocean, was freezing even at its max. There was no pressure. It was like 9 consecutive little droplets every 3 seconds and a little bit of Seal semen in the mix, because there is no way that shit was filtered. At first, when I turned on the shower, I didn't notice that the shower head was in the middle of the shower and on the ceiling, so the tiny droplets ricocheted onto my underwear. The problem with this was that this was, like, my last pair, so I had to sleep commando in the same bed as my brother. If you're going to have such a big shower, shouldn't it be angled and have pressure? I swear, the water radius was 20% of the shower, and the other 80% was just there for you to roam around. Don't even get me started on how it felt being under that 20%. It kind of felt like I was sleeping cutely on a beach chair, and some really suspicious obese man approaches me, with his belly hanging right over me. The obese man proceeds to start slowly crying as his wet belly starts dripping on me, and his eye water starts dripping on me too, as he begs for liposuction money. Some dude came over and "cleaned" our shower, and he essentially poked it with a stick and left the room all confident and shit. One of those seals 100 feet away from the hotel would have done a better job than this dude. It's not even just the shower. THE WHOLE BATHROOM SUCKS. 1. Why is the hand soap also body wash? (Weird.) 2. The toilet is in a very uncomfortable spot. 3. The music button on the mirror is unnecessary, and when you click it, it makes a very annoying noise. 4. The body lotion is closer to the toilet than the sink, which symbolizes the encouragement of masturbation. The sink water at its coldest is warmer than the shower at its max. I will admit that the sink does have a little less Seal semen than the shower, though. In conclusion, I will never go to San Diego ever again. If I ever do go to San Diego again, it's probably to harass the seals for what they and La Jolla did to me. Also, this entire area is anti-Dr. Pepper. I tried 6 times at 6 different restaurants, and all the waiters offered me flat Coca-Cola since they thought that was a proper substitute.

In my opinion, it has one of the most beautiful views of the San Diego skyline. On a clear day, it is just gorgeous both day and night. There are sidewalks on both sides. Parking can be tricky on busy weekends. There is free street parking and there are free lots, but it is much easier during the week or off-season. Normally, you see fishermen, joggers, and people walking their dogs. There are restaurants, hotel resorts, and conference and event venues. Some of San Diego's best known restaurants are on the edges of Harbor Island Park. You can find some lesser known cafes hidden nearby. There are also some boating clubs along the way. For several years, my husband and I would make a picnic at this park and watch the Fourth of July fireworks. It is one of the best venues, if not the best, to watch the fireworks. I often go for runs or walking with my dog there. Also, it is one of my favorite places to take out-of-town friends to simply check out the view and sit on a bench for conversation. Public bathroom facilities are limited, possibly non-existent, so plan accordingly. All in all, Harbor Island Park is a must for both locals and visitors.
