Even though it's in the desert, it's best to go early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the weather is cooler. There’s a lot of interesting information to take in, so bring your camera and take plenty of pictures. I really enjoyed my time there. Just make sure to check the visiting hours in advance so you can make the most of your experience. The site is simple and basic, yet very unique and worth exploring.

Super fascinating spot. Very helpful tourguides with extensive knowledge of the history of the area. Great photo ops. You get a certificate if you visit the official center of the world!

This is a fascinating place. Very interesting to walk around and read. There's not a lot of information about the place itself posted. Everything was closed up on a weekday in mid Sept. It was too hot out to spend a lot of time. I would come back in the winter some time, read more, and visit inside the Pyramid and other amenities. It seemed like it opens at the end of Nov?

Went on a Sunday, it was closed. We poked around anyway. A grounds keeper saw us and reminded us we needed to put money in the box...I said, "Are you guys open?" He said, "Not today" lol. I was a good sport and but cash in the box and he told us a bit about the place. Worth the stop 👍

An amazing road side attraction. Sadly, the pyramid was locked so we weren’t able to actually stand in the center of the world. It’s a quick and easy side trip off the freeway coming or going to CA or AZ on Hwy 8.

A historical place to visit and position yourself at the Center of Earth!!! Dogs allowed.

Plan on spending several hours if you want to actually read all of the history around this place. Everything you see there is all carved with a Dremel and then white paint is added to make it pop. The chapel has like 57 stairs to climb, however very beautiful view from the top awaits. At the end they give you a certificate to use for your future visits.

The place looked like it was really impressive at one point but when we went even though my kids had a great time, also everything was broken or out of order. Very few things worked or were completed and almost no signs to indicate you're wasting your time on it.

Went to see a couple 3D movies. Excellent features at a great price. Very clean, decent snack bar, and had a very cool interactive kids area/ museum. Nice park area as well.

Its so fun with your kids and lots to play with them

A good place to take your children. Unfortunately the place was lacking in making everything functional. I just feel, if you are going to charge a premium and all the activities are very low maintenance and low technology, the equipment should be operational for the children to enjoy themselves.

A lot of fun and interactive activities for kids

There's a lot to see and it wasn't crowded at all.

Still it is a suitable place to learn. I recommend you program visits with whole school. It has an accessible and affordable price to access the entire Museum. This place also conserves all games in good shape.

Huge mall.. and I do mean hug. Just not anything interesting enough to buy. Everyone has the same items at different points in the mall. A few good hits here and there but not really my kind of spot. You have to be looking for something specific if you come here otherwise it's just walking around.

We went to the Cachanilla food court to a Chinese food place. The places have a food bar to choose items, and the sushi 🍣 is a separate dish from the same food stand. Usually, the places have the same owners due to share ownership as a family and friends. You can see workers pulling a cart full of taquitos called flautas, sushi, or other caceroles ready to prepare between stands. The food court opened around 10:00 am, we arrived around 11:30. My husband asked for food bar items, and l asked for sushi. Both plates were cold and tasted as a day before food, not something prepared that day. We didn't eat the food... we were in Plaza Galerias a few times, and the food court food is hot and delicious. This wasn't the first time eating in Cachanilla and the food tasted the same. We went to eat in a taqueria and the tacos were really WOW!!! 👌 👏 😍 👍 🥰

Nice place to buy anything your looking for and food too

Good place for eats and family and shopping

very big but sometimes dirty

This is a huge mall with many different stores. Most of the stores are clothing and shoes stores, but there are other things here. The food court is pretty large. Also, they have AC.

Very large plaza with lots of different stores with nice things average prices and very clean

Extraordinary experience! There’s not much to do, but lots of Art to see - could seem scary but feel very safe on the contrary. The staff were friendly and happy to chat (they also gifted us some postcards!) Remember to bring some water as can become very hot and humid in summer time.

I went to Slab City to visit my brother who lives there. I took him to the mountain. It was beautiful! A reminder of God's love for everyone... Rich or poor, we are all blessed by HIS presence. The art is from the soul and what a talent! Leonard made this from adobe and concrete! The walk up was steep, be careful! I was out of breath, but I made it! And WHAT A VIEW!! The staff are friendly and there are portapaddies there.

Great place to be reminded that God loves us so much that he sent Jesus to die on the cross for our sins, and we are saved by faith alone! It's nice that there is a docent on site to answer questions. Listen to the audio tour while walking.

Huell Howser would be proud! Visiting this small painted hill in the middle of nowhere is a spiritual journey. Coming around that last bend in the road, it appears. You know you have arrived. This was one man's singular mission. He had something to say, something he wanted the world to know, and he found a unique way of expressing this, in the desert wasteland east of the Salton Sea. It is to be seen. For me, it was on my bucket list. Be aware. The road out there is not as you would imagine. It is worse. It has not been maintained in many decades. The docent who greeted all visitors was kind, friendly, and helpful. I took his photo with his permission. I met a lot of good people there.

This is a special place (also when you're not religious). The staff is very friendly and sweet. Artist Ron was painting some old parts and I could paint a bit with him. Lovely place, lovely people.

Very unique and cool art installation and dedication to one’s savior. I’m personally not religious but found this pretty neat. Be aware as of today, you’re not allowed to walk up/inside some parts due to renovations. Got here on a Sunday around 3:30pm and there was no one here. Prime for picture taking.

beautiful piece of public art surrounded by a vibrant community of desert artists who are so committed to keeping the original vision alive! talked to one of the main preservationists and he explained that it gets painted daily and cared for very thoroughly. felt like being in another world and everyone was so kind. very spiritual experience even for those who are not all about jesus

These are the old mud pots and a nearby ruin along Davis road including a shot of one of the geothermal power plants showing its relative proximity. The steam is from the power plant, not the mud pots. Unfortunately the road leading to the new mud pots and the Salton Butte Volcano is inaccessible as the tiny lane leading out to the salt flats is marked private property/no trespassing(apparently owned by Imperial Water District).

Both New and Old Mud Pots are very interesting to see for all ages. I prefer the old ones, but there are signs there now that say it is private property. Based on tracks, it is very popular also!

I have been here a few times. The last time was in 2016. Fascinating place to see and experience in person. You will need 4WD as it can get muddy in spots. Can be a challenge to find though. Just follow the steam, lol..

This was totally amazing! It is no longer open to the public.

Couldn't get there.. got really stuck in the mud on the road out and ended up having to turn back around. It looks like from other reviews the Pots are inaccessible anyways these days - so it was a lot of trouble for nothing.

Quite a relief to see New Mud Pots being placed here. So many old sites have been ravaged by the vagaries of time. To have new ones in earth tones is a natural wonder. I remember back in 1983 when it was said that the Davis pots would corner the market, and we all know what happened to Davis. For one thing, he said non stick would never catch on. Taught me at least you have to be willing to change.

The directions led to a dead end as far as I could tell. Had a 4WD but couldnt figure out where to take it from here :)

This place was very informative, and to think we almost missed it on the freeway. To be honest, we had a great time talking to the host and learning about the history behind the tower. Afterward, we spent an hour and a half exploring the huge rocks while encountering new creatures around every corner that had been carved into the very rocks we were climbing under and over. Do not get discouraged by the hills. Have eyes vibe the road taking you there provokes. What waits at the end is truly worth the ride. This diamond in the rough, hidden on the side of the road, needs to be seen and remembered

A very interesting landmark and viewpoint outside of the San Diego city borders. Went here because I wanted to see something different, and surely found that. The price of admission is worth the view alone, and you can go to the boulder park. Be prepared for strong gusts and strong sunlight, you're basically in the desert here. The owner is in for an interesting chat, and has some lovely pet dogs. If you like to travel back to San Diego from here, try old highway 80, it's a more scenic experience than just travelling the regular highway.

Google maps list the hours of operation as open until 1800. But the locals living near the tower will tell you it closes at 1700. You can still see the outside of the tower but the gift shoppe will be closed after 1700 (5pm). There are walking paths in the boulders behind the tower and a red box for cash donations. The people residing up there have many dogs, guineafowls, and I saw a peacock. There is an older couple that sit outside their travel trailer and watch visitors. They don’t wave or express any hospitality, they just watch you - creepy. The tower is awesome, and the view is majestic. It is worth the stop.

Amazing trip, well worth a visit. £9.50 entrance fee per person which really isn’t much to keep such an iconic space open. Lots to look at, interesting books and amazing bolder garden!!

I had searched maps for a fun adventure to take the kids. They each said hands down this was the best place yet! We were too late to view inside the tower - closes at 5, and we were 15 min late, but a guy showed up and said we could tour the rock caves. I'm grateful he clarified that. Thank you for allowing my grandbabies some fun and amazing memories.

Shout-out to Sam for the great hospitality. Lived all my life in the valley and always wanted to explore the tower, it didn't disappoint. Step inside the tower to shop for souvenirs and have a walk around to say hi to the beautiful birds❤️

This place is an absolute gem! I'm so glad I stopped here! I wish I had more time to fully appreciate everything they have to offer! I fully intend on returning, hopefully with loved ones!

A very well maintained sprawling state park with tons of beautiful trails and serene desert campsites and well maintained bathrooms and a gorgeous visitor center! Be aware that most if not all trails from what I can tell do not allow dogs, even on leashes

Really stunning area with lots to explore. We focused on the sculptures during our visit, spent hours but still didn't explore all! Will be back for sure.

This place is one of my favorite places in California because of the amazing hike into the canyon. I love the dinosaurs nearby and the town feels like it was frozen in time. Very much old California and the Wild West. Plus you have the mountains that are snowcapped in the winter about half an hour away and the beach 2 hours away. Beautiful place to explore the desert and see wild sheep (borregos) if you are lucky! 🐏

We had an amazing visit! We went early spring and several things were blooming. The stars were wonderful. The hiking was great. Especially the Palm Canyon trail! The oasis is amazing and some bighorn sheep came close to the trail. The welcome center is nice and the volunteers there are incredibly helpful. One of the naturalists (Ms. Bussey I think, sorry if that's wrong) helped us decided between two trail and her advice was so valuable.

Off roading is a family favorite! We go a few times a year and use the showers and restroom provided by the park and tent or trailer camp. There is nothing better than waking up to the smell of a 2 stroke and the sound of fun!

This is an incredible desert park and is a gift that keeps on giving. Plenty of off roading, primitive camping, a great visitor center and a genuinely welcoming town. The desert is beautiful 365 days a year but always pay attention to the weather and park rangers’ advice!

Huge area to spread out in, great hiking trails for all abilities, a few cool towns to shop and resupply...mostly great campers from all over the country. Camp grounds were loud with the "city folk" on the weekends but boondocking is better as long as we all respect the minimal rules. Thank you CA parks!

Very nice museum with a lot to look at. It was nice to be able to go into and explore the old trains. They also have multiple trains out back to "look" at. Great fun for the family. Train ride was pretty cool. It was a hot day, but when the train is moving, you get a lot of air circulation.

My wife and I got there not too early and still had time to ride the train. The customer service is excellent. There was a gentleman giving information about the history of the area and the railroad. The museum is kept in excellent condition, super clean. The gift shop is well supplied and the prices are very ok. We'll be back soon.

This place was a great place to take the kids, seems that the new gift shop attendant isn't friendly nor customer service oriented. If this is a volunteer museum his time on his phone was more important and most of all very certain race friendly, he completed a paragraph text prior to speaking and we spoke first, however his only question was "Did you purchase tickets online" his phone began to be priority, mind you we've been coming here since 2008 when it was a GEM and Tecate trips were fun, now after our last little ones attended, we don't feel as if its the same experience as prior visits, however Dave, his counterpart and Teresa were very nice, but theres always one to spoil it for people

This is a fun Plato go old or young. The train ride is not long but it is a beautiful area to see. The out and back trip takes about 30-40 minutes. If you like trains the museum has a lot of things to see.

Celebrated our son’s 2nd birthday here! Was nice and quiet, we had the whole place to ourselves! This was perfect for family , also because our 5 year old has mental disability (autism non verbal) , we had a great time! Rich history! Wear your boots ! Bring sunscreen! Bathrooms were all clean !

If you love trains or just like history this is a great place to visit. Lots of little experiences that your kids will probably not get anywhere else. We got to stand and look out a train car while going down the track. See the train engine pushing the cars we were on and stand on the very end of the train as it chugged down the tracks. Very cool

So much fun!! The volunteers are friendly and inviting. The train ride was a blast & we can't wait to visit again. A smooth 45 minute ride through beautiful rolling hills with Big Band music playing overhead, gave us us a rare glimpse into its history. We saw horses, cows, and hawks in an area most people don't get to see. Like them on social media & you'll receive $5 off! Children under 3 ride for free. Tons of free parking.

Excellent sculptures throughout the dessert. Can drive into area be respectful of property..owner gives permission... stay on paths already made & use car or walk around

Super beautiful road to this place. Viewing the sculptures takes from 1 hour to 1.30. There are paths between the sculptures. A great place to spend a weekend.

Fantastic and free. Recommend all wheel drive in places so you don't get stuck in the sand. Some deep ruts, high clearance recommended also otherwise just park on the side of the road and walk in.

Sculpture in the Meadows run through Borrego Springs both North and South of the roundabout in town. You can drive up to many to get a close view and see the beautiful and detailed works of the artists. This is a must do in the area and worthwhile time spent viewing.

Nice metal sculptures in Borrego Springs, by the side of the road, and free to visit.

Spectacular metal sculptures all over the place. We only visited 53 while more than 100 should be out there. Some Google Maps coordinates of certain sculptures are not correct. But that is not a real problem, because you will see most of them from a distance!

This huge outdoor art exhibit is fun to visit. In the meadow, there are no fence, no paved roads and no set trails. You can just roam around in your car and stopped anywhere to see these large metal creatures. You see scorpion vs a grasshopper at one end, T-Rex at the other, then a Chinese dragon spanning 350 feet across both sides of the Borrego Springs road. You can easily spend a day here if you want to see everything.

We had a wonderful time visiting the animal sanctuary and were happy to contribute by purchasing some donation items for the zoo. It was heartwarming to see the rescued animals being cared for, although it was sad to learn that many had been mistreated in the past. The highlight of our visit was getting tickets to feed the animals, which was an unforgettable experience. Visitors could choose to feed lions, bears, or tigers. My husband chose to feed a lion, which seemed to be the most popular option. Unfortunately, the first couple in line took a long time feeding the lion, so by the time it was our turn, we were only allowed to feed it three times. While we understand the staff needs to regulate feeding portions, it would have been nice if they managed the time more equally for everyone. This sanctuary is best suited for visitors 18 and older, as feeding the animals is an activity reserved for adults. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the venue itself is unique and versatile. It’s a cool place to host events or simply relax while spending time with the animals. We’re looking forward to staying overnight next

We can't say enough good things about the amazing work done at Lions, Tigers & Bears on Alpine, CA, just 40 minutes from downtown San Diego. It's a truly certified & accredited sanctuary - no touching the animals, no photos next to them, they are in huge enclosures with grass and dirt under their paws, and may live out their rescued lives in peace. I have close-ups of the animals, but you don't see the huge areas they live in that mimic their natural habitat as much as possible. The white tiger in with the orange tiger, we saw them when they were almost babies and maybe 20lbs, they are now 150lbs. We always see something different each time we go. Being a member is a great way to go often. San Diego is lucky to have the Zoo & Safari Park out here, but Lions, Tigers & Bears is another not to miss experience if you are nearby. These are wild animals that have been saved from lives of abuse - like two of the lions rescued from that Tiger King scum. Lions, Tigers & Bears help save 70 of all his Tigers and found accredited homes for the other 68 felines. Did you know white tigers are from specific purposeful inbreeding and they have eye and health issues due to it - pretty yes, but WRONG to be bred like that. They also just got a "liger" (pics 13&14) - purposefully bred lion & tiger - WRONG!!! So many health problems. Poor thing. In person, we could see her very faint tiger stripes. She is getting used to seeing people go by and acclimating to the sanctuary. Never stop at an unsanctioned or non-accredited roadside "zoo," nor anything involving wild animal petting, ANY animal circus, animal fights, exotic animal "hunting," or where animals are chained up and/or in small, concrete floor enclosures. Those are not safe for the animals - tell your kids "no" and that you'll take them to a real, safe zoo or sanctuary (and always check their credentials). And if it is a domestic animal farm, still look for cleanliness, do the animals look well feed, humane conditions, no choke-chains, antagonizing, or other harsh behavior. Stop by and see the Lions, Tigers & Bears whenever you can - it should be on everyone's SoCal experience list!

An absolutely beyond-this-world experience! We were deeply moved by Bobbie’s story and truly admire her courage and dedication to rescuing animals and raising awareness about the heartbreaking reality of exotic animal trafficking

The pre tour video is a bit long, and the story is sad as it describes the poor treatment the animals received in the movie and circus industries, as well as by prior individual owners. However the animals are well treated now and the volunteers are friendly and knowledgeable l. They clearly care about the animals. The tour guide on Saturday is a school teacher and did an amazing tour! Everyone in our family enjoyed the visit. A great value.

It was a great experience! You have to buy your ticket in advance, because the experience consists of an organized tour (1.5 hrs), and then you can roam the grounds on your own. Eddie the Jaguar was amazing. The sanctuary was very clean, with well-maintained enclosures and spaces that made both the animals and visitors feel safe and comfortable. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, always ready to answer questions or provide more information about the animals and their stories. You can also feed some of the animals, which is cool. The sanctuary itself was beautiful, set amidst picturesque surroundings that added to the peaceful atmosphere. It was easy to get to as well. Large highways most the way, and NO winding mountain roads, which is nice. I left feeling inspired and grateful for the work the sanctuary is doing. It’s a perfect place for animal lovers and families. However, small children may not like some of the images of abused animals during the 20-minute video at the beginning of the tour. Great experience. Highly recommend!

The park is very clean, and the animals are well taken care of. The website says to wear comfortable shoes as the paths are dirt. A more accurate description is that the pathways are gravel and sand and slippery. Had I known, I would have worn hiking boots. I slipped as I was walking down a hill on the way to my car and sprained my wrist. Badly. Railings or steps should be installed around the property. The terrain is uneven and gravelly. More attention should be paid to the people who visit and not just the animals.

My husband and I visited the sanctuary from the east coast as part of a week long vacation in California. Even though this was only two hours of our trip, it’s all we’re still talking about now that we’re home. We did the Feed With a Keeper tour and had Chris as our volunteer guide. I was impressed with how passionate and knowledgeable she was about the animals. She went out of her way to make sure we had a great experience. We even got to talk to Bobbi briefly and the lead keeper, Cody. Our tour was closer to 3 hours, even though we only paid for 2. She wanted to make sure we had plenty of opportunity to meet and feed all the amazing animals. Being that close to and interacting with the big cats and bears was absolutely awe inspiring and I’ll never forget it. I work in the animal behavior field and spent many years working in an animal shelter and was impressed with the care and enrichment the animals at the sanctuary received. Truly a special place. I wish we lived closer, we would come back again and again!

My daughter and I are here again after a few years and it never disappoints! If you’re looking for a glitzy, high-end spa experience the ranch may not be your cup of tea but it suits us perfectly. The grounds are serene and beautifully maintained, the food is wonderful and the staff bends over backwards to make your time here memorable. We love the earthiness and serenity of it. Even if we had unlimited funds, we would choose RLP to go to. I highly recommend it.

It’s our first time here and I’m absolutely in love. Service is amazing, and everyone you see guest or staff, is inevitably happy. There is an earthiness and authenticity about this place. It may not be the most modern and fancy, but certainly very charming and serene. Every corner of this place is impeccably maintained. It does not look aged or outdated at all for being 85 years old. It seems to just bring peace when you are here. The classes are also great, instructors are consistently high quality. For other reviews that mention the negatives, to be fair, yes you can hear some traffic on the side of the resort near the road. But it didn’t bother me and our villa is on the other side facing the mountain so it’s very quiet. The food I’d give a 7 out of 10. I’m not vegetarian so that could be a factor. Lunch options are typically salad, sautéed veggies and a soup, maybe a fish taco. Dinners sit-down coursed style but I wish there is more variety in the seafood offered. It’s mostly just white fish. I have not been wowed by the food but it certainly is not unpleasant.

RLP is food for your soul. Treat yourself. It can be hiking and workout classes or spa treatments and relaxing or meditative and healing the mind and body. There are so many options that everyone’s interests are met. Water Dance/Therapy was my favorite. Worth checking out

This was our second visit for a week at the ranch. I did not expect it to be as overwhelmingly wonderful as the first time, but to my surprise it was. This is a very special place with wonderful people both attending us and attending the ranch. It is a visual, physical, and emotional Feast.

This place is magical. It is Heaven on Earth. The staff, the food, the classes are all amazing.

No place like this place!!! Worth every penny and the travel time They are the most accommodating place on the planet

Excellent directions to the main gate to the residences at Rancho La Puerta, which tricky to navigate

Viejas is a beautiful Casino. The chandeliers and lighting are exquisite. The rooms are beyond beautiful and the decor is priceless. They have many new slots I've never seen before with high end graphics. The only thing I found odd was that we were not allowed to use the refrigerator even though we had purchased the food at Viejas. But all and all a fantastic place. I highly recommend it. The snack shop has a lots of healthy food and is open all nite and is very reasonable. I found an interesting way to get up there rather than just taking 8 frwy. There's alot of side roads that offer beautiful scenery and no traffic at all.

I feel like I'm at home whenever I visit Viejas Casino. Atmosphere is so casual & friendly. But you can dress in the finest too & feel very comfortable. Great selection of games & there promotions & free offers are outstanding. The whole surrounding area is so Serene and a beauty to look at. I feel very tranquil looking at the scenes from anywhere at Viejas. The rooms are outstanding. Very clean throughout the whole place. And every staff member are so nice, friendly & helpful. I felt like family & like I belonged. And plenty of great places to eat with some of the best food I've ever eaten.

I Actually Like This Casino, Hotel & Outlet Center. I Definitely Had A Good Time In Casino With My Friends From LA. I Definitely Found Some Good Sale's @ The Gap. We Had Lunch @ The Grab & Go. Oh Yeah The BBQ Sandwich, Fries, Clamchowder, Free Cold Drink & Cheese Cake. Oh Yeah Everything Was Delicious. I Totally Recommend This Awesome Casino.

A three sounds about right for this one. The staff is nice in all departments. The variety of slots are nice. The variety of table games isn't the great compared to others. Food is really good. Did have a problem with the pool at The Willow. I don't know how they would let someone bring glass candles to the pool. They had to shut down the pool and re drain it. I do recommend this location to other as long as an incident does happen like that again.........

We didn't stay at the hotel, we went for the ZZ Top concert. The only service we used was at the bar. Great service and a generous pour. The venue is nice under the stars but the folding chairs you sit on were not at all comfortable. They are zip tied together so you can't move them which makes sense, but the main issues are: The chairs are too close together, I was shoulder to shoulder with the guy next to me, not comfortable. The other issue with the seating is there is no center aisle. Our seats were in the middle so to get out, I would have go past about 22 people! Seriously, the rows had 45 chairs in the row and we were 23. Great seats for the concert and ZZ Top was amazing! They still got it. Loved the concert, venue, not so much.

I love this casino.... especially playing "2cent whales of cash" and the workers are nice..... they do have alot of informants walking around trying to snap a quick picture of you , acting like they are on the phone, knowing dam well theres nobody on the other end of the line.....

Coming from a NorCal avid casino goer, this was a very good casino and only 40 minutes from SD. Rooms were a little cramped and the floor had a ton of machines only feedback was the weird layout. Food options were great as well as a 24hr grab and go.

The outside of the hotel & resort may not look like much, but the room was amazing! We got a deluxe queen with two very comfortable beds. The room came with a mini fridge, several complimentary bottles of waters and a full set of nice toiletries. The shower was just incredible! I visited the spa. My massage therapist, Cory, was superb! Definitely a fair price for the quality of service. The sauna and steam room were lovely, but the hot tub was strangely constructed. If you sat on the benches built in to the hot tub, the water would be up to your neck. Wonderful relaxation room! Finally, while the gaming floor is lively and has lots of slots, the games were super tight. Unfortunately it didn't take long to go through my play money. I'd certainly come back for the amenities, but the gambling is better in Vegas.

It's always so much fun doing a staycation close to home. When your staying here you feel like your on vacation, from the pool to the dining we really love getting away just for a night or 2 here. We went for a Thursday night concert at the pool and had so much fun, a nice up close venue for sure. We followed that up with a relaxing pool day with prefect weather. * I will also add a review of the steakhouse separately.

Subject: Formal Complaint – Please Address Discriminatory Conduct I am filing a complaint against Meetup for failure to enforce its own Community Guidelines regarding harassment, discrimination, and member safety. This meetup group (Fun Times In San Diego) has an abusive organizer by the name of Ozzy. A discriminatory incident occurred during a Meetup-related event, and after reporting it through the appropriate channels, I received no meaningful response or action. Meetup continues to allow groups and event organizers to operate even when they retaliate against individuals who report discrimination or mistreatment. By allowing these organizers to continue using the platform without investigation or accountability, Meetup is enabling an environment where racism and discriminatory behavior is tolerated. Meetup advertises itself as a platform to “build inclusive communities,” yet in practice it does not enforce those standards. When discrimination is reported, the burden is placed entirely on the person who experienced it, while organizers face no review, no compliance checks, and no consequences. This is unacceptable and places users at risk. I am requesting the following: A formal internal review of the group and organizer involved. Confirmation that Meetup will open a case and investigate the discrimination and retaliatory conduct. A written outcome or explanation of the enforcement measures taken. You are responsible for the safety of your users and the public environments your platform facilitates. Failing to address discrimination is not negligence—it is complicity. I expect a written response acknowledging this complaint and confirming that a case has been opened.

From the moment I arrived, Sycuan Casino truly lived up to its legendary reputation for service. Even though valet was full, the attendant went out of his way to guide me to the best parking spot closest to the entrance. I was in awe of how clean and well-kept the entire hotel was. At the pool check-in, I was greeted by an associate who helped me get settled. The highlight of my poolside experience was the hostess, Hailee. She was incredibly attentive and kind, making sure all my questions were answered and that I had plenty of cold water throughout the day. This is exactly the kind of service that makes you feel valued and comfortable. After a relaxing day at the pool, I headed to the casino to sign up for a players card. Deshauna at the players club absolutely blew me away with her enthusiasm and warmth. When I told her it was my first time visiting, she celebrated with me and even gifted me a complimentary sunshade, which completely made my day. Her genuine excitement and care left such a lasting impression that I couldn’t help but rave about my experience to others. Sycuan has mastered the art of hospitality and legendary service. From parking to poolside to the players club, every detail was handled with care. I am already planning my next visit to include an overnight stay.

This casino/resort was the best place we've stayed in years. So clean, very kind people that will assist you with whatever you need. Food and Entertainment 100% as well as the pool and cabana area. We will definitely go back in the near future.!!!

I lost a $300 voucher, and was fortunate enough to run into Jonathan and Neil. I let them know what happened, and they were ON IT!!! They took time out of their busy schedule to cater to the situation, investigate quickly, and has my money back within 10 minutes! They were both kind of professional, and totally saved the night. I hope they somehow get recognized for this! I can't thank you guys enough!

The rooms are nice. And pool area is great with the lazy river. It’s also a plus that’s there’s no kids allowed. Food is mediocre, but it’s also a resort in the middle of nowhere, so to be expected. I will say that service and general information from staff is extremely inconsistent. When you call depending on who u speak with you get different information. And it’s the same with the staff on-site. No one is on the same page. Staff training is very lacking. But if you don’t care so much about the service then, it shouldn’t be a problem. It would really make this place so much better if they had their customer service in order.

The first thing I noticed about this casino that bothered me is that it's a smoking casino. They don't just have a part of the casino that's for non-smokers or just for smokers. I can't stand the smell. Went to Tony gwynn's buffet for all you can eat seafood. It's pretty decent food at least most of it. Some of it is not so good. It's what you would expect at a buffet. I'm not overly impressed but I'm not disappointed. It's all right to go there once in a while, especially because my friend pays for it. I wouldn't spend $75 on a buffet for myself though.

Review of the new Jamul Spa: New resort spa at Jamul Casino. Many things to like about it, and some areas that can be improved. Good: New beautiful facility with lots of amenities. We tried everything; sauna, steam room, hot tub, massage chaise in lounge, terrace seating. All very nice and new. Bad: Co-ed hot tub, small outdoor terrace (only shade, no sun from 11:30AM - 4PM during our visit) no hooks to hang towels/robes near any of the amenities and spa guest do not have access to the hotel pool. We were told the pool is for hotel guests only. Our visit was within 2-3 weeks of them first opening but they still have some kinks to work out. The biggest issue was not having access to stairs to get to the spa. My friend has a phobia of confined spaces. She never takes the elevator. We spent 30 minutes trying to get approval to use the stairs. Per the Security Director, she could not use the stairs to go UP one floor to the spa but they would allow her to use the stairs to go DOWN one floor to the lobby. MAKES NO SENCE AT ALL. We considered cancelling appointments but worried we'd be charged a no show fee and she didn't want to ruin our day. She took the elevator but the incident put her in a bad place physically and emotionally, initially. We expected to enjoy a stress free day to reset and relax with a massage but because of the nonsensical issue with no access to stairs going up, it wasn't the best way to start our day. It took meds and some time for her to calm her nerves and the massage helped, too. We appreciated the concern and service from everyone in the spa and made the best of our day. The security issue is separate from the spa, but something to consider if going to this facility. In regards to the pool, even if they allowed spa guests to use, I don't know if stairs would have been available -- it's a rooftop pool.

Great service, pretty resort! Nice mountain views. Pool is not heated, so we did hot-cold dips from the jacuzzi to the pool.

We got to help celebrate our friends wedding. Located at The Loft. Great venue. Everyone was very hospitable.

I've had one of the best experiences here then one of the very worst - I was thrown of this casino for simply trying to watch a game of baccarat - they claimed that their policy is that Nobody is allowed watch any game that is reserved... I wanted to play because it looked like a either a really great shoe of cards were being dealt or there was MASSIVE CHEATING going on... I simply stood there for a few minutes just to watch as these 2 homeless looking old asian women that had reserved the table started to make grunting noises, as i waited and watched wanting to see more hands being dealt.. Anyways they stopped betting and the dealer stopped as they waited for me to go away... They didn't want anyone watching their silly game. I was patiently waiting for them to either bet or unreserve the table, instead they went to a female asian manager that came over demanding that i leave the area. It was insulting, rude and very obnoxious. By the way I have the highest card they have available, the Onyx card and they still treated me like absolute poop! I recommend that this and all casinos be shuttered for ever, they are in essence a plague of leeches. The security guard - Hasar #2604 was especially threatening and disrespectful. Save your money because nobody else will do it for you.... #jamul #jamulcasino #casino #barona #sycuan #viejas #sd #sandiego #gamingcommission #californiagamingcommission @jamulcasino.com Jamulcasino.com

Not to bad only if the white fish was really Albacore Not Skipjack , only someone with that type of pallet and knows his or hers fish would know but still delish . I just wish if you ask them what kinda fish they should just tell the truth 🤷🏽‍♂️ you never know who you’re serving and always remember your always in camera 😉

For one the drive to Jamul Casino is absolutely gorgeous. Plenty of parking & easy to get to the main casino & there brand new very modern comfortable reasonable clean spectacular beautiful hotel. There promotions are plenty & well worth the trip. Outstanding friendly, helpful, happy , nice kindly staff is amazing. Great selection of slot machines & plenty of table games to play with a seat at almost any table always available. Very fun atmosphere & beautiful scenery.

Really weird visit on a Saturday afternoon. The tasting room was closed and there was a little bar set up outside to the left. Looks like they were doing that for awhile but no signage. A man walked over from an outdoor table where he was sitting with a couple of others and asked us what we wanted. No menu and there were only two bottles of wine opened. Both reds, no whites. No wine tastings. I had to ask how much it was for each glass. I was told it's $10. Wine was ok. We came to look at the art anyways. A very eclectic collection and fun to walk around. This place has definitely gone downhill since I was last there a few years ago. There's a giant chest board that's literally falling apart with holes in the floor. The place looks a little unkept now, which is sad to see.

Experience: five stars. Wine: three. My boyfriend and I came for sunset and a tasting. Service was excellent. The setting was romantic and interesting with all the art. The cheese plate was delicious. I want to give this place five stars, but a winery with wine that disappoints can't quite pull that off. But if you don't go for the wine, you'll have an incredible experience. We will be going back!

What I think is happening with all the 5 star reviews for this winery is that they're all based on the Art and atmosphere. Which are incredible and I definitely encourage everyone to check this winery out for that sole purpose. However, one must also leave a review in regards to service and the wine itself. Upon finding the random corner for a tasting, the guy said it was over and the two remaining bottles on the counter was what was left. I asked if I could purchase a new bottle and he said he would open it up and let us buy a glass. We finally sat down to enjoy our wine and I refrained from spitting it up on the ground. It was horrible! I would give this place 3 stars if it weren't for the unique surprise and surroundings. See this winery, yes. Drink the wine, if you're used to box wine from your youth I suppose.

This place is just a really cool ambiance with interesting statues and art all over the premise. They have some food and plenty of wine options as well. All with a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains.

Last year and again this year- online says open at 11am. No would answer the phone both times gates stayed closed. A local said these people are not opening every day. Sad this place is what we wanted to visit again while camping. Long drive from campground to wait there with no1 opening..we have lost our interest in seeing all the at work.

Amazing and eclectic collection of artwork on the grounds. Beautiful place for local wine tasting. Kitchen offers pizzas, salads, cheese plates. Lovely staff.

They have vines and a lot of food for your brain and eyes. A place like no other.

I want to rate the Cultural Center higher, but as a whole, it needs some love and care and money put into it. The signs in the botanical garden have been highly vandalized and the statues are plastic replicas. The art exhibit in The Cube was really interesting though and I do recommend it. For $5/person it's a great deal and totally worth it.

It’s a very nice museum with fascinating architecture and a clear, engaging presentation of history — from cave people to the U.S.–Mexico War. The photography exhibitions were excellent, especially the photos about the U.S.–Mexico border.

Fascinating walk through the history of the Baja California peninsula from the Age of Discovery to the Second World War. Again, the US is the aggressor. I was most interested in the models of ships and diorama. I used to make those.

Came here during a national taco festival and it was great! 🎉 They had live performances 🎶 and tacos from different regions of Mexico! 🌮🇲🇽 #TacoFestival #LiveMusic #Mexico #Food

This place is so nicely setup inside. The pottery exhibits are extremely impressive. Could do with a bit more upkeep on the exterior.

Attended the Binational Conference of Social Work Post-Pandemic. Excellent location on a Friday. Vendors galore set up all day with food, can lots more. So much fun. It is across from a beautiful mall. Lots of traffic as there is a turn circle, be careful. I enjoyed the cultural experience. Very friendly people and helpful all around. Will go again. The exit at the border was about an hour, so be patient, and go with a buddy for company and to chat with a long the way. Remember your passport.

The play was great, but the theater needs to be more organized, we were standing in line for over an hr waiting in line to watch a play. The ushers have no control. Others just floked and ignored the line.

Lively with very cool shops and great restaurants

Nice place to buy all kinds of Mexican made products. And food

Beautiful, used to be way better than now

Nice place for strolling!

Clean, beautiful and very safe. Free rides for children. Family and pet friendly street with plenty of restaurants, bars, shopping centers, hotels and parking garages around! Endless fun for all ages.

Tourist street, start your Tijuana day here

Lots of renovations in progress.

Huge outlet. Lots of stores especially sports & perfume. Some good deals but you need to look. Unfortunately they didn't have an Eddie Bauer store. Food court playgrounds were scattered around as well as seating areas for the husbands. At the front of the outlets there were 4 Mexican food trucks. We ate lunch there. The Birria food truck especially had good prices and the food was delicious. But I'm sure they were all good.

Outdoor mall near the Mexican border... We enjoyed shopping here! The free parking and convenient restroom are much appreciated! We didn't have time to peruse the Food Court. I visited SKETCHERS (got 2 pairs of shoes) and The Last Chance Store (Amazon returns). My cousins got work shoes and clothing. Prices were reasonable and service was okay! We'll be back if we're in the area again!

It’s been years since I’ve been at this place. So many more shops, so many more options. We came on a Saturday around 1:30 pm. The place was buzzing, parking lot was crowded as expected, but you can find a spot, people are always coming in and out. Very well kept. Definitely worth the drive every once in a while, especially if you are coming from Orange County like we are. Prices are ok. Somethings are cheaper, some others are at the same price as your local shops. Good way to spend a few hours here walking around, browsing the stores, grabbing a bite, etc.

Big, open mall at a walking distance from pedweast cross border. They have a lot of stores in different blocks, you have to use your phone map to locate stores. They have a couple of coffee shops and restaurants. The restrooms are not many and have to walk around to find them.

I love this mall, i’ve been visiting since I was 2 and lived in Baja California, years have passed and even though i moved back to Mexico City, everytime i go to California i always come here, it has a variety of stores (my favorite are Sephora, H&m, Ulta Beauty and Zara) and discounts are amazing too :D!!

You'll find all sorts of clothes and shoes from many brands, electronics, you can eat and drink while you are at it as it has options for food and snacks as well. I would recommend to wear tennis shoes and be comfortable since it is a huge place you'll probably be walking around all day from shop to shop.

Excellent shopping experience and a must visit. A multitude of name brand stores

A very fun experience and a beautiful area to come and explore. The trains are great it's a short circuit but you get to go around twice and they have three different engines.

Took a walk around the park after eating at the Hamburger Factory. Never seen this before. Cute park! Well taken care of. It was a nice walk.

Steam locomotive ride was a big hit with families with small children but be prepared to wait due to the long line. The gazebo featured singers singing railroad themed songs. Historic house and museum were interesting to visit.

Old poway park has history, creativity is a very interesting place to enjoy. Have a picnic areas and food places around it. Plus a great I will call mini train with is very atractive to raids with friend family and children. I love the experience

This is an Awesome place to take the kids, walk your dog etc. The little creek is nice, The big trees offer great shade, the picnic tables and BBQs are great for picnics. On Saturday is a Wonderful Farmer's Market and the Ole train runs around the park.

I’m so glad I visited this historical part of Poway. Monday morning and no one else there except a few people walking their dog. 🐶

Great place for everyone! Took my little girl and the park is nice all by itself. Plus it has added bonuses. If you go on the right day (schedule on website) you can ride the little train for only a couple of dollars. Additionally, the park has several really nice public grills and picnic tables, that would be great for a family or a group. Several restaurants walkable nearby too. Totally worth checking out.

Bernardo Winery offering a charming blend of history, rustic ambiance, and artisan shops. Its diverse selection includes bold reds, refreshing whites, and unique offerings. The wine tasting session is a must try, providing a great introduction to their best selections. Friendly staff enhance the experience with insights into the winery’s history. Light bites from the café pair well with the wines, while live music and events add to the atmosphere. A peaceful retreat with quality wines, it’s a must-visit in San Diego.

Bernardo winery is a wonderful place to spend the day. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, and it feels like a small village. The tasting room looks rustic, it is always cool inside, the staff if very friendly and knowledgeable. There i a gelato/sweet shoo, an Italian eatery, a coffee shop and various gift shops, too. The food from the Italian kitchen is outstanding; we especially loved the mussels and the Arancini.

Wonderful scenery, staff, and wine. On top of that, the food was perfect for a night of sipping and strolling. One of the best wineries we’ve been to on the west coast 🍷

We love the Bernardo Winery! It is one of our favorite places to relax for brunch or an early dinner. The ambience is unmatched. We’ve long since grown out of our college bar/party phase, so a visit here this is a fantastic way to decompress after a long week or to bring family and friends when they come into town. The food is excellent! The portion size for the fries is fantastic. I love to get a salad plus a side of fries to share with whoever I’m with, and maybe a pizza. The wine pours for the tastings are generous. The only thing I’ve ordered and not been crazy about was the bruschetta because it had olives and pistachio which I wasn’t a huge fan of. The best part about our visits to the Bernardo winery are walking around the shops after. It is incredibly romantic too! Especially during sunset. At night, there are outdoor heaters that make it very cozy too. If I could leave 10 stars I would!

Beautiful venue for a wedding!! Loved the nostalgia and vintage pieces adorning the property. Perfect match with our vintage wood Photo Booth!

I recently officiated a wedding at the Bernardo Winery. It was my first time to this venue and it did not disappoint! The grounds were beautiful and very private. The greenery was well kept and the ceremony area was beautiful. Loved the cocktail area, it was shaded and perfect for hanging out. What a great place to get married - thank you Bernardo Winery for a wonderful experience - I hope I am back there soon!

I really wish they would care about the customer experience here. It's such a beautiful winery, in an ideal location. I've personally been visiting for the last 15 years. Many additions have happened throughout that time but the dismissiveness of their employees continues. Specifically the employees in the tasting room, it seems as they are being forced to work there with zero enjoyment. That along with their food ordering system, table hunting, fetching your beverage from a separate building from someone who looks annoyed cannot be the final system - its a shame.

Such a beautiful oasis in the heart of the city. The zoo is the big attraction here but the Japanese gardens, natural history museum, air and space museum and many other attractions are in this park. You could easily spend multiple days here without running out of activities!

Absolutely beautiful. It’s full of gardens, museums, and stunning architecture. Perfect for walking, relaxing, or taking photos. The atmosphere is peaceful yet lively, and there’s always something interesting going on. It’s totally worth visiting this iconic San Diego spot.

One of the best city parks ever! It’s large, well maintained, and in a pretty central location. Has tons of interesting places to explore, from the impressive architecture to the many museums and gardens. Lively, very aesthetic place and it’s easy to spend a whole day exploring this park!

How was Balboa Park? WET. A few folks mentioned how rare this was. We were also there on a local free day. I guess it is an honor system, as no one asked for ID, but we were willing to fess up to being from another State, where rain is a regular occurrence we are currently avoiding. Finally got into the large Botanical Building. The free Timken Museum of Art is closed M-Tue, RATS! Given that it was a free local day, there seemed to be adequate parking at 10, rain stopped by 10:30a, and we headed out. Expected a bit more of the Japanese Friendship Garden, and was surprised by cats comfortable enough to sleep in the open. Other spaces were hard to take photos of, absent other people. A public park being... public.

Balboa Park is a true San Diego treasure, and every visit confirms why it's a world-class destination. It’s more than just a park; it's a breathtaking escape that combines stunning architecture, lush gardens, and phenomenal museums into one unforgettable experience. You could easily spend an entire day—or an entire week—and still not see everything. We spent our day strolling along the Prado, captivated by the ornate Spanish Colonial architecture that transports you back in time. The gardens are a sensory delight, from the serene Japanese Friendship Garden to the vibrant blooms in the Rose Garden. The Botanical Building is a must-see, with its towering wood lath structure and beautiful koi pond. The best part? So much of this beauty is completely free to enjoy. For museum lovers, the options are endless. We visited the San Diego Museum of Art and were thoroughly impressed with the collection, but you could just as easily lose yourself in the Fleet Science Center or the Museum of Us. The options mean there's something for every interest and every age. Now, for those complaining about parking: 😡stop being lazy and get there early like everyone else. We arrived around 9 a.m. and found a great spot in the free Inspiration Point lot with no hassle. If you're not an early riser, there's a free tram service that will get you where you need to go. The park is massive, and a little planning goes a long way. Don't let your own poor planning diminish this incredible experience for others with a one star review😡😤. In short, Balboa Park is an absolute gem. The atmosphere is vibrant and inspiring, the grounds are immaculate, and the variety of things to do is unmatched. This is a five star experience from start to finish, and we can’t wait to go back.

Balboa Park will leave you in awe. With several museums, garden and San Diego Zoo to visit, you will never run out of things to do. It’s a great place to bring the whole family. I how educational and historical this park is. I would highly recommend this beautiful park to anyone visiting the San Diego area.

The environment is diverse, welcoming and secure. It can be busy but its worth the experience. There was ample parking regardless of the crowds. Me and my daughter visited the natural history museum, admission price was reasonable and the atmosphere was good. The exhibits were interesting. I would visit again.

Wow! Breathtaking bridge that connects San Diego to Coronado. Access from San Diego Freeway. There is no access to pedestrians and cyclists due to the height. You're able to see the scenery of the bay area. Highly recommend if you love architecture. See San Pedro Bridge also.

The San Diego–Coronado Bridge, commonly referred to as the Coronado Bridge, is a bridge crossing over San Diego Bay, linking San Diego with Coronado, California. It is part of State Route 75. The construction of a bridge across the San Diego Bay was proposed several times since the 1920s, but was turned down feared a bridge could collapse due to an attack or an earthquake and trap the ships stationed at Naval Base San Diego. By 1964 the Navy supported a bridge if there was at least 200 feet (61 m) of clearance for ships which operate out of the nearby Naval Base San Diego to pass underneath it. To achieve this clearance with a reasonable grade, the bridge length was increased by taking a curved path rather than a more direct path to Coronado. The clearance would allow an empty oil-fired aircraft carrier to pass beneath it. This was then approved and construction began and completed and the bridge was opened for traffic in 1969. At first it was a toll bridge until 2002. The bridge contains five lanes: two eastbound, two westbound, and a reversible middle lane with a barrier. The pillars supporting the bridge on the eastern end are painted with huge murals as part of Chicano Park, the most extensive collection of Chicano art murals in the world. The Coronado Bridge is frequently used as a suicide bridge; trailing only the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco as the bridge most-often used for suicide in the United States.

We enjoy visiting this bridge because you can see Mexico, and you can see all of San Diego's Skyline , pluss Coronado Island from this bridge. When you are traveling under the bridge, it looks like the shape of a bell.

It’s definitely a cool bridge to go over, and the only way to get to Coronado Island unless you go by boat. It’s a short ride of a little over about two minutes but fun. There is a great view on either side, and it’s neat to see ships passing below as you drive over. Overall, it’s a good experience and a solid bridge, especially if it’s part of your daily commute.

Such an amazing drive and view ❤️❤️

Rode the ferry ONCE in 1965, Watched the construction of the bridge, great saving time and fuel. Sailed my boat under it many times, great for sunset photos, especially from the water.

My mother, tour group and I have been on a tour bus through the bridge. The view going to the ocean side was wonderful with the ocean views and going to the city side was wonderful because can see the San Diego skyline. Also, there were vehicles crossing the bridge too, and ships crossing below.

This is 100% a world class zoo. They make use of the space extremely well. There's plenty of walking to do, but they make it a wonderful experience. I was thoroughly impressed with the amount of conservation and research that they do as well. I learned all about it on the fantastic double decker bus tour, which I highly recommend. This was an experience that is second to none.

The San Diego Zoo is a must see on a San Diego visit! I would say it’s an all day event if you plan to see the entire zoo. I was there from 9am to 5pm! Make sure to bring your comfortable walking shoes! I would recommend taking their bus tour from the start and sitting on the to deck on the right side. You’ll see more of the attractions during the drive than the left. The bus tour is a great starting point and allows you to see a lot of the zoo and animals from a high POV! From there I recommend choosing your important must see animals and go from there! The air cable car is in the middle of the zoo and stops at the polar bear attraction so plan accordingly. Some people like to take it down at the end of their visit because you’ll end up at the entrance but there is more of a line. They do allow water bottles and food. Highly recommend drinking water as it does get hot!

Kendal and I visited the San Diego Zoo for his birthday, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! Although I’m not usually a huge fan of zoos, we couldn’t pass up the chance to explore this world-famous destination and I’m so glad we did. From the moment we walked through the gates, we were surrounded by lush greenery, vibrant habitats, and some of the most beautiful animals I’ve ever seen. Every exhibit felt thoughtfully designed to give guests an up-close look while still respecting the animals’ space. We saw elephants, lions, pandas, and even a few playful monkeys who put on quite the show. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and it was clear they genuinely care about conservation and animal welfare. One of the highlights was taking the Skyfari aerial tram, which gave us a stunning view of the entire zoo… perfect for catching our breath after all that walking! Speaking of walking, this zoo is massive, so definitely wear your most comfortable shoes. We also lucked out by visiting in October, when adults pay regular admission and kids get in free, a great deal for families! Between the breathtaking exhibits, fun learning moments, and the joy on Kendal’s face the entire day, it was hands-down one of the best birthday adventures we’ve ever had. Even if you’re not a “zoo person,” the San Diego Zoo might just change your mind. A must-visit for anyone traveling to Southern California!

I visited the zoo over four years ago and noticed significant improvements and new sections have been added since my last visit. The upgrades have enhanced the overall experience, making it much better than before. One of the highlights was the convenience of valet parking. I particularly enjoyed the reptile section, which was quite impressive. However, I did have to wait nearly 30 minutes to access the Panda section, which was less than ideal, but it was worth it for my kids.

Had the best experience visiting the SD ZOO, definitely not a 1 day experience, so many beautiful animals to see. So beautiful walking thru all the green forest/bamboo. Loved the tour bus & flying thru the sky... Staff was super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Able to bring in own drinks & food. Which is super helpful when bringing kids.

An absolutely amazing experience! 🐯🌿 The San Diego Zoo completely blew me away hands down one of the best zoos I’ve ever been to. The layout is beautiful and super easy to navigate, the animals are clearly well cared for, and the whole place feels like a mix between an adventure park and a nature sanctuary. The staff were just just sooooo friendly, knowledgeable and amazing i never seen employees that care so much for their job and love it so much like the people in this zoo, the exhibits were clean and immersive, and there’s something new to see around every corner from playful pandas to majestic tigers and adorable koalas 🐼🦒. You can tell the zoo really prioritizes conservation and education, not just entertainment. Also, the Skyfari aerial tram was such a cool touch seeing the zoo from above was unreal! 🚡 Highly recommend spending a full day here if you can. It’s 100% worth it whether you’re with friends, family, or even solo. A true San Diego must-visit. 🌞❤️

There is so much to see at the San Diego Zoo, from animals and birds to plenty of shops and restaurants on almost every corner (be ready to spend some money). It is all worth it though. Walking through felt like a scenic hike. We got to feed the giraffes, checked out the reptiles, and even ride the sky tram and had a bus ride at no extra cost, which gave us the best aerial view of the entire zoo. I could easily go back again. It is best to arrive early in the morning since there is a lot to see and do. Kids will love it too, with fun activities like face painting available. Overall, it was an amazing experience that I would highly recommend.

Seaport Village is a great place to visit. Take a stroll down the boardwalk it has lots of nice views of San Diego Bay and the Coronado Bridge. Lots of concrete walkways wind through the village. Lots of shops and great food and ice cream for the kids! The USS Midway Museum is very close to Seaport Village. Many different things to see in this area from the Gaslamp quarters, the Convention Center and Petco Park all very close by within walking distance from each other. I was very impressed with all the shops and great food and wonderful atmosphere. Alot of people smiling and saying hello to each other. This place is fun for all ages!

The USS Midway Museum is an absolute must-visit when you’re in San Diego! It’s such a fascinating place filled with history, and walking through the ship really gives you a glimpse into what life was like for sailors on board. There’s so much to explore from the flight deck to the engine room and you can easily spend hours here. I recommend starting your visit from the 41 Deck up to down, as the upper deck (Flight Deck) closes earlier at 4:30 PM. You definitely don’t want to miss it because the view and the aircraft displays up there are incredible! The volunteers and staff are super friendly and knowledgeable, always happy to share stories and answer questions. It’s a fun and educational experience for all ages truly one of the highlights of my San Diego trip!

My daily running path runs through SV. I love to stop for some water or coffee and take it in. You can really feel the soul and pulse of the city right there. I'm usually there early mornings and it's so beautiful. Night time is magical too. I'm so grateful the city built amazing places to run

It’s been years since I last visited Seaport Village. I recently stopped by with my cousin, who was visiting California. I thought I would take her to some of the places I used to frequent during my childhood. I still remember when the buildings used to look more brown. It has a more appealing look with its white paint. Against the blue skies, it just looks more attractive. It still has that charm that I remember. I remember walking along the walkway between the shops and bay. These used to be a wall of boulders and stones that separated the walkway from the waters. It’s now cemented for a polished white wall. The large fountain that I remember is still there. It still looks maintained and the restrooms are clean. There is a fee to park at Seaport Village. Overall, Seaport Village is a nice spot that’s calm and has a relaxing vibe with a view of the bay - and, if you’re lucky, you’ll spot some naval ships pass by.

Seaport Village is a beautiful place to walk around and enjoy the ocean view. Lots of nice shops, great food spots, and friendly people. Perfect for relaxing, taking photos, or just spending a calm evening by the water. You can enjoy live music on every weekend.

Seaport Village in San Diego is a charming waterfront shopping and dining complex that captures the relaxed, coastal spirit of Southern California. Located along San Diego Bay, it features more than 50 unique shops, art galleries, and restaurants set amid cobblestone pathways, lush gardens, and a picturesque marina. Visitors can enjoy scenic views of the harbor, watch street performers, ride the historic carousel, or simply stroll along the waterfront promenade. With its blend of seaside ambiance, local flavors, and family-friendly attractions, Seaport Village is a favorite destination for both tourists and locals seeking a peaceful escape in the heart of downtown San Diego.

We love visiting Seaport Village! It’s such a beautiful area to walk around, watch the ducks, enjoy the water, and do a little people-watching. The atmosphere is relaxing and scenic, perfect for a casual day out. For food, Louisiana Charlie’s is absolutely delicious and always hits the spot, and just across the way, Broadys house of flavors is a must for a sweet treat.

I loved this place. Totally random visit, not planned at all. Was in SD for a week and on the last day we decided to visit on a whim. We went mid afternoon around 12:30 left around 4 and didn’t get to finish. Wish we could have stayed longer but had to leave. Would definitely go back! So many things to read and hear and conversations with employees to have. Got to meet a gentleman who lived and navigated the ship over 60 years ago! Even if you don’t care at all about this type of environment I assure you you will have a good time.

Let me start by saying I do not like museums. I LOVE this museum. I also love that they hire people and procure volunteers that are veterans so you obtain knowledge from the source. I loved their personal stories, hearing of their experiences overseas and of the carrier. I wish we had more time. The tour said 4 hours to complete. We had four hours. I wish I had four more, but we had a plane to catch. I would advise to download the parking app to pay over phone because I had to extend our time twice. I would say to stop by the Verizon table to pick up the audio tour guide that you tap at every station. Bring a water but if you forget there are vending machines and a diner on the carrier. Stop by the gift shop for memorabilia. Take the tour of the captains quarters, see if you have what it takes to be military intelligence, and tour the upper levels which requires ladder climbing so comfy tie up shoes is wise. Please come and listen to our service men and women that dedicated their lives to protect our country. They have wonderful stories to share. This museum is highly recommended.

Amazing amazing amazing!!! We visited the USS Pampanito years ago in SF and it was awesome! So we were definitely excited to see this one. Love that it gives us a small glimpse into what these guys had and went through because only they know what they saw and what they did during their time there. We walked through almost 90% of the ship but because we had our 3 younger boys we weren't able to finish the top portion. They do have a little quiz for the kids which consists of 6 questions they need to answer along the tour and at the end they get a pilot wings pin which is cute and cool. Definitely a must if you're visiting in the area. Beautiful views and the weather was perfect. During October kids do get in for free so get that deal and also I saw online that that EBT holders can get in for free(up to 4 people), its the Museum for All program so whatever the case go and visit!

I had to rate this wonderful exhibit of military history and power. My Navy daughter, granddaughter, and I, thoroughly enjoyed touring this historic aircraft carrier. From the long flight deck, numerous aircraft, to the interior halls, cabins, war room, and “Top Gun” fame, this historic exhibit should not be missed. The volunteer staff was friendly and knowledgeable, answering all of my questions. We got there a little late, and did our own walking tour, rather than utilizing the audio devices. However, we will probably go back again sometime in the near future. Thank you, US Navy for your service and protection of these United States!

Everything about this experience is just amazing. The USS Midway Museum is an incredible experience that brings naval history to life! Walking around this massive aircraft carrier, you really get a sense of what it was like to live and work at sea. The flight deck is a highlight, packed with different aircraft and offering stunning views of the San Diego skyline. You can explore the ship's interior, from the sleeping quarters to the engine room, and imagine the daily routines of the crew. The docents, many of whom served on the Midway, share fascinating stories and insights that make the history even more engaging. Overall, the USS Midway Museum is educational, interactive, and a memorable adventure for anyone interested in naval aviation and maritime history. It’s a must-see if you’re in San Diego!

The USS Midway is like embarking on a floating city. This massive aircraft carrier is a fantastic museum that brings history to life in a way that truly captivates the whole family. It's a must-do for any family visiting San Diego. Hands-On Experience: The highlights for kids (and adults!) are the numerous restored aircraft on the Flight Deck and Hangar Deck that you can actually climb into. Sitting in the cockpit of a real jet or helicopter is an unforgettable photo opportunity and a thrilling experience for aspiring pilots. Meet Real-Life Heroes: One of the mostspecial aspects of the Midway are the volunteer docents—many of whom are veterans, and some even served on the Midway! They wear yellow hats and are stationed throughout the ship, eager to share fascinating, firsthand stories that add a truly personal and educational dimension to the visit. Fantastic Views: From the open-air Flight Deck, you get stunning, panoramic views of the San Diego skyline, the Coronado Bridge, and San Diego Bay. Tips for Families Plan on 3 to 4 hours to fully explore the ship and take advantage of the activities. Wear comfortable shoes as you'll be doing a lot of walking and navigating steep, narrow staircases. (Elevators are available for many parts of the museum, and about 60% of the exhibits are wheelchair accessible).

This is one of those "must go to" spots in San Diego if you love history and appreciate our military. Give yourself at least 3 hours. We were at 4.5 hours when we called it. We saw everything except the island, as there was still an hour wait to see it. This is an amazing piece of history and allows for a whole new respect for the men and women that serve on our ships. We learned some new things we didnt know about naval history. The displays are well done. There's alot of walking so wear walking shoes for the most comfort. This does have wheelchair accessibility to many areas, but not all due to the nature of the ship, but definitely enough to make the trip worth it. There are also some height obstacles (my hubby knocked his noggin a couple times. Hes 6ft tall). But this museum is set up so incredibly well that you might get emotional. I also recommend the 15min movie about the Battle at Midway. Totally worth the wait. This is also kid friendly. Family friendly. But do keep in mind the timing to get thru the ship. Younger kids/ederly may wear out sooner than you're ready to leave. You can also get a hand stamp for re-entry if you wanna break up your day. We went too late in the day to do this, but its a nice option had we realized it ahead of time. We will definitely be going back. I highly recommend and know you wont be disappointed visiting this amazing piece of history.

A nice state park filled with history. I had a pleasant experience walking around and seeing the historic houses and museums. The Fiesta de Reyes area had nice variety of food and shops. Parking is free, and there is no entrance fee.

Old Town is a great place to visit. It’s like a living museum with fantastic Mexican food all around. I’m not sure what could be better?! It’s walkable and family friendly. There’s a trolley stop next to it along with decent parking. Some of the buildings are open with static displays showing the history of San Diego. There are Park Rangers and an information office in case you have any questions.

Pretty average tourist area with some nice history plaques near each building and agood information center. Lots of touristy trinkets to purchase at tourist prices. Very easy walk through the whole town. Employees are dressed in historically correct clothing in many of the shops. Plenty of food available at several vendors on the property.

This State Historic Park is one of the few in the California State Park system with free admission—and free parking, too. Visitors can explore historic buildings filled with period furnishings, enjoy authentic Mexican restaurants, and browse dozens of colorful souvenir shops.

Loved this place. It is a must visit for any tourist. Its huge and spreads out for many blocks with restaurants and shops. Live music and even a broken down old museum like place (doesn't have much though).

Nice place for photo. That is historic site of California. Must be there yo exploring with many interesting things. Specially a lot of mexican food restaurants and coffee shop around there.

We stopped in for a stroll on a Wednesday evening in the fall and found it pleasantly uncrowded. It was fun to walk around and see the historic buildings and shops. Worth a visit if you have some time.

This is a review based on a recent, highly disappointing visit to SeaWorld San Diego. Having been excited to return after four years, I found the park has severely lost its charm. The most frustrating issue is the value proposition: they still charge a premium price of $130+ for a single-day ticket, yet a significant number of rides were non-operational. To make matters worse, the park now employs various cheap and manipulative tactics to extract more money. They fail to disclose upfront that many of the major rides require an additional $6 fee per person to ride, a charge you can only bypass by buying an expensive annual pass. Furthermore, their advertised "bonus ticket" offer is a complete fraud. They print on the website that a single-day ticket grants you a bonus ticket valid throughout the year. However, upon trying to claim it, they immediately hide behind fine print, claiming it's at their discretion when the ticket is issued within the year. They even resort to actively tracking guests—if you visit with a friend the very next day, they know you've already been and will suddenly issue the bonus ticket, making it impossible to use for the very next visit you planned. This deceptive behavior feels like a complete betrayal of the customer. Finally, a major warning for families: if your child is under 42 inches tall, it honestly doesn't make sense to go. The vast majority of the rides have a 42-inch height minimum, meaning you will pay full price for a child who can't enjoy most of the attractions. Between the broken rides, the deceptive pricing schemes, and the outright fraudulent bonus ticket policy, SeaWorld San Diego is no longer worth the visit.

It's a beautiful place. Not overhyped. Most rides and attractions were operating. Relatively clean park. It is overpriced but ok if you get an annual pass and can return over and over again for a year for that price ($99-230 I think). Customer service is really not top notch when it comes to dealing with the benefits and perks for Platinum and annual card holders. Get your systems in order or choose either online or face to face only for printing cards. Food is overpriced but good. Maybe have roaming staff that helps people find their way. Get rid of those vendors that charge $5-35 per game. Clean the kiddie pard and baby coral a bit. Okay sorry for the over analysis. I love Sea World. I may spend more time than I should there and really am stating every problem I could think of. It's such a fun place and staff are really happy to be there. The animals and sea creatures seem calm and playful.

This park had very friendly staff, it was clean and well maintained. The rides were fun and I enjoyed the orca and dolphin shows. It received 3⭐️for the following reasons: 1) The park was open until 7:00pm but there were quite a few attractions s that closed at 5:00 or 6:00 and at least one - the Jellyfiah - were supposed to close at 6:00 but they closed it at 5:30. There really needs to be some notification on the website when you buy tickets (not I. The fine print if it’s there at all). And it also wouldn’t be hard to put it on the app. 2) The food was exorbitantly expensive for what you received. The chicken sandwich, for example, was $18 plus tax and was a bun, chicken patty, and two pickle slices. It can with a side of fries but we’re definitely not a ‘large’ fry. Paying amusement park prices for food is expected but at least make the food worth the price. Overall I would go back but I would definitely verify the actual park hours and bring your own food if it’s allowed.

This place is amazing, the park is clean and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Only addition that would have been awesome to see on at the park is designated areas for service dogs to relieve themselves at. Like a small little tiny classy area with a small fence and gate where you can let your service dog relive themself like they have at Disney and Knott's Berry farm. Other than that the park is amazing.

I was curious about Seaworld because I wanted to see the orcas. Seaworld has stopped its breeding program and the remaining orcas will be its last. I went on a Friday and the place wasn’t too crowded or busy. If you plan to come here, I would recommend visiting the attractions and checking their showtimes and plan around their shows. They don’t have a physical map and their app is a little hard to navigate with to figure out where you are in the park. They have water tanks where you are able to touch the sea creatures like the spotted shark and manta rays. They also had booths where you could purchase feeding trays for $10 to feed the creatures but they were all closed during my visit. Seaworld is quite small compared to the SD zoo and I didn’t realize but it is an amusement park with rides. You aren’t allowed to bring bags to the rides so you’ll have to rent a locker to store them or have someone hold onto it. Can’t comment on the rides since I didn’t go on any of them but being an extra change of clothes in case you get wet. The orca show lasts about 20 minutes where you’ll be able to see orcas do tricks and splash you. I would recommend getting there about 20 minutes beforehand if you want to sit in the center. They have rows labeled as “wet zone” so avoid if you don’t want to get wet. If you want a more personalized experience, I would recommend the “close up encounters” but it is quite expensive. They can range from $100-$500. We paid for a beluga whale experience that lasted about 15 minutes, where meet the whales and they allow you to touch the animals and chat with trainers. It was a nice experience especially since I wasn’t able to see them in their tanks. Overall, I would skip Seaworld if you are only here for the animals.

Took my son here for his birthday and we had a really good time! It can be expensive but options such as the all day dining make it worthwhile! There was no long lines and the staff was very friendly. We went around the Halloween season and there was a lot of activities to do and the kids were able to dress up in their Halloween costumes and go trick or treating at certain stations! Overall, an experience I think every child should experience at least once!

The animals are amazing! The shows we saw were good. We love seeing the orcas and sea lions. The issue with this park was the we got there at 10 when it opened, our ticket said go to guest relations for the all day dining wristbands, we qued up for them and when we got seen they said no, go to the restaurant directly. Only 1 restaurant was open until 11am. Then we thought ok let’s go on some rides but most of them were not working until after 12. Maybe we got unlucky? We did eventually go on all the rides. Parking was easy but $35

First time at Moonlight Amphitheater and we had a great time! Very easy parking, and lots of handicapped parking. The staff are very nice and accommodating, bathrooms are clean and the grounds are well kept. There’s a grilled cheese place if you want a regular sandwich for $14 and their fries are excellent. You can take food in with you and your personal water bottle with whatever you want in it but don’t try to take in a wine bottle because they will stop you. There is a large seating area but it’s the “VIP” section so there are maybe 3 to 4 tables scattered elsewhere so take a blanket and have a picnic.

We recently attended the performance of Prince of Egypt. We really enjoyed the show. The music and choreography were great. There was a problem that did not leave us with a good feel. We’ve been attending the moonlight for many years and we’ve never had a problem like this before but, we noticed in our section. There was a huge gap in seating where there was no one sitting. When the show was about to start, we saw many other groups moving their chairs over so they could be closer to center stage. I don’t think that was a big deal since those areas were all empty. So my wife and I moved our two chairs over and before we sat down, we were approached by one of the staff who told us those seats were reserved. And we would have to go back to our original seating area. I guess that wouldn’t have been a big deal except after she asked us to leave, there was still other couples that were still moving their seats over to get a better advantage point. It was very obvious looking around that we were the only two Black people in the venue. I really gotta feel that that was the cause of the situation. Even though other couples were moving to get better seats, she immediately keyed into us and made us go back to our original seating. it gave us a strong field that we have been singled out because of our race. Photos of the empty seating area are attached. Those seats remained empty throughout the entire performance. After discussing it with my wife, we decided to attend the last show of our series this year and then never attend the moonlight again. This is unacceptable behavior from any company or venue. And from now on, I would not be referring or advising anyone to attend the moonlight amphitheater. Especially people of color. I give it two stars because the performance was great. But the social environment left us feeling very bad. I didn’t mind at all going back to our original seat because that’s what we paid for. It’s just very unfair to allow some and just allow others. I think there’s a word for that. It’s called discrimination.

This place is amazing. The layout is perfect, with easy (free) parking. Sound is flawless, and the lighting is fantastic. Beer and wine are available. You can bring your own water, but bottled is sold on-site, too. Very family-friendly with such a chill vibe.

The Moonlight Amphitheatre is a charming community theatre. I saw Fiddler on The Roof and it was my first and only show I've seen so far. They allow you bring in your own food and drink! People were picnicing while watching the show! So much fun. Love this place, it's a true gem. Keep up the good work Moonlight. Looking forward to attending more shows.

Very cool outdoor venue with Amazing productions! Even the lawn seats are good and they're fun for kids and teens. You can bring blankets and chairs to sit on the lawn, and bring a jacket when the nights get chilly no matter where you sit. Don't forget that you have to walk to the amphitheater a bit from the parking area! It's all downhill though, but on the way back to your car take the shuttle back because it's all uphill!

This is an absolutely amazing venue and every performance I’ve seen here over the years has been top notch. I especially love coming here with a group of friends and enjoying a picnic dinner before the show in the reserved lawn seating or on the grassy knoll. Both locations provide excellent views of the stage. I’ve also tried the grilled cheese and cookies at the food court which were delicious and fairly priced.

I love outdoor theater. The performances are always excellent. I read the reviews about the restaurant and it got fantastic reviews for the sandwich place. I thought the food was OK. Next time I go. I’m going to take my own food or eat ahead of time.
