Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Great looking options. So many places to try. Really cute inside. Fish flaky and crisp. Not pet friendly but there is patio seating.

    As a baseball lover, I always wanted to visit here watching Mike Trout! I finally bought Mike Trout's jersey for souvenir and myself. I highly recommend buying hot-dog here, you won't regret.

    This place if you have kids from say 1 to 12 is the best, its only 26 bucks in, there are unlimited rides, no queues, its clean well run and not a rip off. We brought our 1 and a half year old and she absolutely loved it. We spent about 2 and half hours there, there are plenty of places to take shade and sit down, park the buggy and toilets etc. we thought it was a perfect size for kids, you can let them loose as it’s not a big area, and then there are 2 roller coasters and a drop ride for the Tweenies, we went on the rollercoaster (minus the baby) and it was really good. There is also a small animal petting area where the kids can brush goats and a pig and there are chickens. Also there is free parking. We liked this place so much we went twice in the same week. Cannot fault it 10/10.

    What a wonderful natural treasure in a busy metropolitan area! Our family had been at Disneyland the day before and we needed a down day. This park was perfect for our group. The grandkids played on the playgrounds and most of the adults walked the trails and enjoyed the birds on the lake. We were there too late to rent the swan paddle boats - rentals closed at 3 p.m. (Maybe stay open longer for afternoon visitors.)

    The entrance fee was reasonable for our group $3 per car (for 12 people). There were restrooms and sink stations available. Beware the squirrels though! They are not afraid of humans and will come right up to you! We are glad we found this nice place to relax.

    I really liked this place. It was very small and the trails are very short, which was disappointing. But it was a nice shaded place for a leisurely stroll. It's free, too. However, be aware that parking is a nightmare.

    The farmers market wasn’t quite as nice as I remembered it a few years ago. Also, it was Halloween and decorated cute the previous time. There’s still a lot of food options and butchers and candy makers and pickles! Found the best horseradish dill pickles 😋

    Don't miss this usually quiet and special place!! A small museum so to speak, as to be expected Disney has made this space near perfect. Fans could spend a long time here but even a few minutes will soften the pace of your day.

    The current main exhibit is train and holiday oriented. It would be perfect for families with children 10 and younger. They had a train to ride around the block on the outside. Lots of train sets and train memorabilia on the inside.

    They also had a building next door that had other exhibits. One was about Anaheim, and the others were art exhibits. The exhibits were unique and meaningful.

    Apparently on Dec 7, 2019 they are having a dog thingy that sounded fun too.

    Only now do I know I paid $15 for nothing. The parking attendant charged us $15 dollars to park and didn't say that it was free for the Marketplace and only $15 if you were going to the sports center. I feel cheated. Inside was very busy. Communicating was hard because i don't know spanish. We were trying to ask the security guard about a shop but he didn't speak English and the other security guard stood there and was actually digging up his nose and wiping it on his pants.

    There are lots of interesting stores and restaurants in this area. There is some free parking available and rest rooms that require a code.

    This was my first escape room. It was very fun. I would definitely do it again. It was friends and family and we had a blast. Definitely looking forward to next time.

    This was our second time using this service. Excellent communication and checking/confirming flights and times. I had mistakenly added the wrong flight which our driver Brandy caught which gave us even more peace of mind. Clean cars...on time pick ups and excellent service all around. Will use 100% anytime I am anywhere near California.

    We played The Hide, which was by far the scariest horror-Themed escape room I have ever experienced. I have played quite a few scary escape rooms, but this one truly delivered the level of fear I was looking for. The room was super unique and provided an amazing experience;it felt like I was part of a movie .this is definitely my absolute favorite escape room so far. Logan and Chris were amazing! They honestly made the experience for us. I will definitely be returning!!! Also, the lobby was super cozy and fun.

    If I only could have talked Amtrak Pacific Surfliner from San Diego to Anaheim to watch the Ducks hockey game, it would have been so much less of an irritating drive on I-5 on a weekday/weeknight.
    I-5 is just riddled with construction with lanes closed that adds time to the commute. Construction on I-5 will always happen for many years to come without a break.

    The EVE shuttle was easy to use and fast.

    We prebooked out shuttle but then our flight to SNA was delayed. I simply requested a ride when we landed and it was ready for us. We ended up with an ART bus which the kids loved- we had an entire short bus to ourselves

    The only drawback is that I wish they had a family price. Or the child price was up to age 16 not 9.
