I've been on a kick this year to see more historic parks and landmarks in SoCal. Shout out to…read moreYelper All-Star Derek W. of Lakewood, CA for inspiring me with his awesome photos and experiences! The challenge I'm finding is parks being open through the week, when we (ahem) "more mature folks" like to enjoy less crowds. So when I saw Heritage Square in Oxnard was open, with possible docent tours, on a TUESDAY, I jumped on the opportunity to partake of some local history. We headed for the Square and saw some parking but, being a first timer, I decided to drive around the entire square and see the layout from the street. I decided to park on W Seventh St, to the north and take advantage of shade, and the close proximity to Heritage Coffee and Gifts(separate review), which I knew we would wander into before departing the area. Turns out W Seventh is the perfect place to start. We entered and immediately were taken with the beautiful architecture, landscaping, care and attention to detail this special area exudes. It was all pretty magical and I wasn't sure where to start. Luckily, it wasn't more than a few steps in that we spotted the water tower and visitor's center/gift shop/central hub. We stepped inside and were greeted warmly. I explained that I saw they had docent lead tours and we could sign up online, but I wasn't sure what time we would arrive, so I didn't make a reservation. Was it still possible to get a tour, or was there a self-guided walking tour info sheet? We were asked to wait a moment while the manager and lead docent was found to see if they were available. Gary was available and we began our tour. What a WONDERFUL storyteller! Weaving the families and their history with Los Angeles and Ventura Counties and bringing them to life in front of their very lovingly restored homes! He took us inside of some of the buildings, where operational businesses agree to have the public tours pop in for a moment of show and tell. Details about the original designs, room layouts, furnishings and use were all so amazing to see, touch and learn about. The tour lasted about 45 minutes. We paid $10/pp and it was well worth it! Just to hear the history of the on-site church alone was worth it! But to venture inside, see the details in the hand-made stained glass and the conversion of the oil lanterns to electric. To hear how it has changed denominations over the years and to view the photos inside, documenting the preparation of the Square, the moving process for the homes and the restoration was so intriguing. This is such a beautiful and unique area. I love that these beautiful homes were repurposed and are thriving with businesses! At the end of the tour, Gary encouraged us to check out the annual Holly Trolley Tours, Christmas Tree Lane Event and Gingerbread House Exhibit and tours. All sounded absolutely delightful!. I immediately signed up for their newsletter and I'm REALLY looking forward to returning durning the holiday season and posting more pics of festively dressed docents and delightful decorations. Cheers! "CC"

# Complaint: Unfair Refund Policy at the Eagles I'm writing…read moreto express my disappointment with the Eagles' management decisions regarding my party refund. Despite being told that I would receive my $300 security deposit back if we cleaned the venue thoroughly, the management later refused to return my deposit. The party was called off due to alleged drinking in the parking lot, which we didn't witness. The bartender promised a refund if we cleaned up, the Bar manager Lisa reneged on this promise also stating she would show proof . Stating the bar made, Alice had no right to instruct us that we would get our money back if she had enough pull to call off our party then why not just tell us to leave and not clean up! We stayed almost 2 hours cleaning up! I've since spoken to several people who have had similar experiences with the Eagles, where parties are called off and deposits are kept. In contrast, I've had positive experiences at the Moose, where events are handled with courtesy and respect. # Unfair Treatment of Non-Members The Eagles' policy of turning away non-members in the rudest way!! from the bar area is counterintuitive. By inviting potential members to experience the venue, you can showcase its amenities and build a positive reputation. # Recommendation Based on my experience, I would not recommend hosting a party or becoming a member at the Eagles. The management's unfair refund policy and treatment of non-members are significant concerns. I hope that the Eagles will reconsider their policies and prioritize customer satisfaction. I also would like to add that I wrote a text message to one of the leaders named Tony explaining My complaint never not one return message or call. I then called Lisa back to let her know and her response was you already made the complaint wait for a return call ! Very unprofessional!!!!

Drinks are canned . I asked for a glass and was told .. " All we have is plastic" as she walked away. Perhaps she's shy but there needs to be level of proper customer service.

A bit more energy when tending to customers would be appreciated . This spot has nice games and I love the murals! When I come back , I'll play some of the games and update my review .

I have been a Ventura County resident my whole life, and every time I traveled to other parts of…read morethe country and stumbled into one of those amazing, welcoming game stores, I always found myself thinking, "Why can't we have something like this back home?" Well, now we do! And with their new location, it somehow got even better. As an avid board game player and enthusiast, my eyes practically popped out of my head when I saw the incredible collection Kenan and Edith have put together. The library is packed with games I already know and love. The kind I can open up, play, and teach to new players without a second thought. It also has so many games I have always wanted to try, along with titles that caught my eye for the very first time just by seeing them on the shelves. The new space is warm, inviting, open, and genuinely comfortable. It gives you that feeling of being at home around the kitchen or dining room table, gathered with family or friends for a great game night. But what makes it even better is that you get that same cozy feeling while also having the chance to meet new people, grow your gaming circle, and share the hobby with others. And the D&D section? That is what a Dungeon Master dreams of when planning a session. Terrain, minis, source material, and plenty of table space all ready to go. Just looking at everything had my session-planning brain spinning with ideas for combats, encounters, and adventures I could throw at my players. Overall, this place has firmly cemented itself as my top spot in Ventura to gather with friends and meet new ones. It is close to many dining and drink options for any breaks during a game, has a warm and welcoming atmosphere inside, and is run by amazing owners who greet you with a smile whether it is your first visit or your hundredth. Add in the huge library of games to choose from, and it really is something special. I would give this place a million stars if I could. Come in and try it for yourself. Ventura is lucky to have it, I know I am.

They partner with local small business/popups for things like food and coffee which is amazing.
