The front desk staff was very friendly and welcoming, so this review is not about the service…read more We decided to visit because of the great reviews, and our 3.5-year-old was excited by the entrance. What we didn't realize is that the museum has a lot of very lifelike mannequins and human figures right from the entrance and in the first room. Both my son and I are uncomfortable with realistic mannequins, and we were surprised by how many there were. We ended up leaving after less than a minute. It was disappointing to lose the admission fee, but we were simply too uncomfortable to continue. I'm giving 4 stars because I don't think it's a bad museum--it just wasn't a good fit for us. I mainly wanted to mention the mannequins because I didn't see that in other reviews. If you or your children are sensitive to lifelike human figures, it's something to be aware of before buying tickets.

This is one of the many attractions in Pier 39. They have the flyer ride, they have a "7D…read moreexperience" which is like a "shooter" game on a giant screen, and then they also have two "escape rooms." Everybody who worked here was very. friendly. I did the flyer ride. It is about a seven or eight minute ride, It was a lot of fun. It's one of those where you sit in the seats, and then the floor drops out from under you, and it is like you are flying over the city. The wind blows in your face, and when you were going over the water, you feel just a little bit of a spray. I don't want to give anything away, but it does take you all over the city. It was really a lot of fun. The only reason I'm taking off a star, is because the flyer ride is a bit expensive. It's $14 per person, adult or child. That wasn't too bad for myself, but if you are more than two or three people, it can add up. Regardless, it was well worth the money for myself to do. I wouldn't ride the same ride again, but if they changed the movie, I would definitely ride it again. This ride is also part of the "San Francisco city pass." I had fun... Thanks.

An okay one-time tourist attraction…read more I didn't know this existed until I came here with my family this past weekend. It had been a while since I last visited Pier 39. We were showing my aunts and uncle around the city, so I thought this would be something fun to do with the family. We had 8 people, and it was $14 per person. After we got our tickets, we went up the escalators to the second floor and walked inside. There was no wait. We sat in the top row, and we could see the edge of the screen. If you have the option, I would recommend choosing the bottom row. Note, if you're super, super afraid of heights, this may not be for you. The guard rails go away and the platform slightly lowers during the ride. I'm afraid of heights but this was nothing for me. However, my two aunts told me they were gripping the handles tightly the entire time. The experience was really short, about 5 minutes or so. For the price, video quality, and duration, I wouldn't pay to do this again. Definitely not worth the $14 per person.

It is worth timing your visit to see both of them. The very reasonable $3 admission will cover both the home and Capitol. I enjoyed a great tour of this pre-civil war home. It is filled with the items and artifacts of the original families. The house had stayed in the family until it was deeded to Benicia in the 1960s. It made it even more interesting to see how things had changed over the years. Our tour started in the rear of the house and worked to the front and then upstairs. The outer buildings are interesting. The garden is also worth exploring; the volunteers are replanting some of it. I enjoy house museums, and this one is great one. I loved to see how people lived and this one gave me a real feeling for the 100 years that the family lived here.

The closest example to Theatre of Dreams is probably Tinsel Trading Co in Berkeley…read more Both stores sell festive themed decor that utilizes antiques, paper, and glitter - however Theatre of Dreams is very much out of the way being located in Port Costa. Of the two I personally like Tinsel more. Theatre's space felt small, a bit less clean, and seemed focused on selling very similar looking Halloween-core decor as opposed to gifts. Overall if you're in the area I'd stop in, but I wouldn't make a special trip.

Where was Boxlunch when I was a kid/teen? I would have loved this store! I still really like it…read more They have loads of pop culture merchandise. Sanrio? Got it. Pokémon? Sure. Totoro? Yup. They have a great selection. This one is located inside the Solano Mall. I ordered a Sanrio dog bed online and had to delivered to the store for pick up. (It was even cheaper than Amazon for the same product.) The employee working that day was really helpful! He helped open the package so I could confirm it was what I bought before taking it home. He was telling me how they always have sales. The online inventory is bigger than what's in store. When you buy something online you get a coupon for next time. I even joined their free rewards membership. When he asked if there was anything else he could help with I asked about some earrings we saw. Half was missing. He offered to sell it to us half price and when we were interested in half a pair he helped us find it online and buy it to have it shipped there. This is a great place to shop for presents for kids and adults alike!

This was also the most organized BoxLunch location I've been to, surprisingly! I even found some really cute Sanrio pajamas I had been eyeing since last year, they finally had my size! Overall a very wholesome experience. If I am ever in the area again, I will be sure to stop by. :)
