Sometimes bad guys win... As a fellow local business owner, I don't know why anyone with a small…read morebusiness want to make enemies with their community. My wife went there with my son to take senior portraits today and lo and behold, their car was towed when they were done with their session. Was there a sign in the parking lot? Yes. But my wife assumed that the parking lot was a common area (yes, I pay triple net for my store) since this place was in the same building as the photography studio. Again, I'm a business owner myself and our parking lot gets overrun by customers from the next strip mall, but I would never in a million years to tow their cars because word spreads and it's not good for business. And to be clear, their parking lot was only being occupied by the workers and my wife's car at the time of the "offense". Downtown Roseville has been dying for the past decade and no one was exactly fighting for parking space when I pulled up to pick up my wife to drive her to the tow yard. Why five stars? Because I know how tough is for stores like this where retail is dying and everyone's running to Amazon. I can't imagine more than 10 people walked into this store today to make a purchase, and I feel bad for business owners like him. However, screwing over locals is no way to grow their business, especially when their last review was a year ago with where they towed their own customers car. Good luck and stop being mad at the world.

Tunnel Vision Baseball & Softball Training Facility is an incredible place for young athletes. The…read morecoaches have a natural ability to connect with the kids, making training both effective and fun. Our kids genuinely look forward to going every time. The family-friendly atmosphere really stands out, and the card shop is a huge bonus that the kids absolutely love. It makes the facility feel like more than just a training center -- it feels like a community. We also appreciate that the coaches and owners are locals with strong connections and resources in the area. They truly care about helping kids grow on and off the field. Highly recommend to any baseball or softball family!

This was an awesome place to take my daughter. I…read moreparticipated in several different sports such as wrestling, weightlifting and baseball. Of course I can teach my daughter the fundamentals of baseball/ softball. But I haven't played sports since high school. Tunnel vision was extremely helpful and the instruction was what my daughter needed. I sometimes am to overbearing and expect more from my daughter. So to have an instructor that is patient with my daughter was important. My daughter never picked up a batt in her life and this was the first time. She did extremely well. I was impressed at quality of instruction Marcus had given to my daughter. It showed by what I witnessed of Marcus and the excitement my daughter had well after we left. Smiles and asking me questions about the game. Tunnel Vision and Marcus, sparked a passion for the sport that I hope will take my daughter beyond college. Thank you Andy and Marcus.

Holiday train review - Absolutely spectacular and warm heartening experience for our 3 and 4 year…read moreold girls! I don't know what other low rating patrons are expecting... fireworks? High class service? Jazz band playing in every train car with speakers interconnected? We came expecting nothing and ended up having an incredible experience with beautiful decorations well suited for a sweet, memorable Christmas train experience. Online reservations were simple, easy to obtain, and a lot more affordable compared to the exorbant Polar Express tickets. We're extremely happy that we chose this over Sacramento's Polar Express. It's obvious that their staff spent a lot of time putting work into the trains inner and outter decor - beautiful and creative! Parents and adults FYI - on your way to your reserved train car, there's a small bar after boarding the train. It's very important to load up on your magic drinks before heading to your seat. (Drinks.. not drink! But drink responsibly, of course.) Parking isn't far and although limited, it shouldn't be a problem with reservations handled appropriately. We sang a few Christmas songs with the elves, threw snowballs at the grinch (best part, IMO), met Santa, and had a little fun at Santa's (little) village after the ride. Every sip of their hot cocoa (included with your tickets) was warming and delicious, perfect for cold weather. Couple of cookies came along with it, perfect for our kids to snack on. Overall, this was an incredible experience for our kids! Service was fantastic, ambiance was very jolly and felt like home, staff members are very friendly, and the experience is fantastic for all occasions - family, friends, and dates! The memories are ever lasting and hopefully it becomes a core memory that lasts a lifetime. Highly recommended to experience, at least once, for your little loved ones. We'll be back next year!

We were NEVER SERVED ANY FOOD during our 2-hour Tea Train and could barely get water…read more About 30 minutes after boarding we were given hot water but no tea bags. We eventually found our own. Refills of hot water, cream, and drinking water required chasing down staff. After 45 minutes we began asking where the food was, while people in another section of the car had already ordered and eaten their meals. Staff kept saying the food would come "soon." It never did. At 1 hour 45 minutes the staff disappeared, and the train returned to the station at 2 hours. No food and no explanation. I had to insist on speaking with a manager and got a refund. I still don't understand how this could happen.

Adj: Impressive, Informational, Innovative, and Incredibly Interesting!…read more Another visit to the RUEC, which is the Roseville Utility Exploration Center. It is located next to Martha Riley Library, one of 3 City of Roseville libraries and the newest one. The RUEC is pretty cool and admission is free. We like to come by every once in awhile because they have changing exhibits, but their permanent displays are informative and interesting too. As an environmentally minded person, I try to conserve, but how do you know what to do and what is worth your effort and what doesn't make much of a difference? The RUEC has quite a few exhibits on how to conserve energy, water, and how to minimize our impact on the planet including garbage disposal (that often end up in landfill more than anywhere else), recycling, being conscientious in our resource usage by setting our thermostats properly, cycling our ACs, replace or clean air filters regularly, install a programmable thermostat, and properly insulating and weatherizing your house down to HVAC ducts! There's even information on where our stormwater and runoffs go (which affect our fish and other wildlife), how much energy different specific kitchen appliances use, not putting grease/oil down the drain, vacuum the coils on our fridge 2x's a year to keep our fridges efficient, thinking about the temp and weather when considering what to cook (don't run your oven on hot days), installing energy efficient fixtures/bulbs, and only doing laundry and dishes with full loads so as to maximize efficient when washers and dishwashers. These are things many people don't know or haven't thought about. Overall, the RUEC does a great job at educating the community and especially kids on environmental and resource conservation and also provides info about how we can practically make a difference just by being more aware of how we use energy and other natural resources.

Located next to the Martha Riley Library, the Roseville Utility Exploration Center is a community…read moreeducation center that's free to visit anytime it's open. I think that's pretty cool. We took our kids here since we like fun educational activities and free is always the right price. We went on a Saturday and it was not too busy. The staff is friendly who greeted us, then we just wandered around a bit. They have interactive utility exhibits about how the City of Roseville provides utility services to their residents. They have their own power plants and substations, etc. to generate their own energy, so their residents pay less than even SMUD customers, I was kind of jealous about that. At least I'm not paying PG&E electricity, but maybe I should've looked into living in Roseville. Anyhow, they also have their own sewage and water facilities of course, and their services are focused on saving water and sustainability and being resource conscious and eco-friendly, which all make sense. My kids enjoyed the interactive activities about using less electricity and water, but what they really liked was the Utility Truck Experience where they got to go on a Recycling truck and pretend play. It was pretty cool. There are also tons of education displays on shopping smart to get things that last and not disposable items that end up in the landfill. In addition to permanent exhibits, they also offer kids educational classes. My kids took a few over the years, one of them was on urban planning and it was quite interesting for them to learn how to design and layout infrastructure for a pretend city that makes sense for where to put the power plant, the landfill, the sewage system, etc. relative to locations of homes, roads, nature places like rivers and lakes, and public places like parks, schools, and fire stations, etc. All in all, RUEC (as they call it) is a really nice little museum that kids and adults alike where we can learn a lot about utilities and resource conservation, it's great that it's open 6 days a week and it's free and everyone's welcome, not just Roseville residents, and they even offer free educational classes (w/advance RSVP) for kids. Worth checking out if you've not been.

This is a nice station to off board a train if you are going to Roseville and surrounding area…read morebecause it's nearby Old Town Roseville and have lots of restaurants and bars. Because it's unstaffed, I don't know how reliable it is to board a train. I tried it in Rocklin on Capital Corridor route (another unstaffed station) and because of delays, I ended up taking an Uber to Sacramento. So that type of situation can definitely happen. Now, I just go directly to Sacramento on return trips because that station is bigger, staffed and more reliable.

Roseville in the North East Sacramento suburbs does indeed have its own Greyhound stop, but it's actually just one of those typical Californian yellow and brown station houses which was built for Amtrak. It's at 201 Pacific Street and serves Amtrak trains and also has Greyhound station buses stop here, which is why it looks nice, because none of the Greyhound stations really look like this - they have their own design and this is much more of a California train design.

I bought tickets to take my daughter and awesome autistic son for a paddle boat ride at Quarry Park…read morefor Easter. Long story short, our plan changed when my son got triggered and dysregulated when he saw my daughter and I put life vests on as required for the boat ride. He started to stim and have vocal outbursts. While I was trying to calm my son down, the staff present was very patient, kind, understanding, and accepting of my son's autism/differences. They told me that they would wait for as long as it took if time was what my son needed. They were also very accommodating when my son refused the idea of going on a paddle boat and offered Kids Kove playground as an option if interested. The staff at Quarry Park were AMAZING!!! I appreciate that they are an inclusive park, that provides a welcoming environment for all children, regardless of their abilities. Words cannot express my gratitude.

We had an amazing time! We did the 2 hour pass where you could access all the attractions…read more Weight range is 45 lbs - 250. Adult to kid ratio is 1adult to 3 kids. Kids under 12 need a chaperone, and you need to stay together. Went with my 5, 8 and 10 year olds, and the 5 year old could not reach the clips and needed help at every transition. My risk taker 8 year old had the best time and could have stayed for 4 hours. The 10 year old was done after about an hour. The kids cove rope playground is $10 a person and you could easily spend 2 hours there. It is hot! They provide water. TIP: if you want to do the 2 or 4 hour adventure or the ropes course, you need to take their 30 min training course on how to transfer the clips between cables, that happen on the hour and half hour. So you would need to arrive 30 mins before the 2 or 4 hours. Ie - we started the training course at 230 and then did the 2 hour from 3-5.
