Pirates Dinner Adventure offers an immersive dining and entertainment experience set on an 18th-century Spanish galleon in a massive indoor lagoon. The show, 'Secrets of the Deep,' features thrilling stunts, aerial acrobatics, swordplay, and special effects that keep the audience engaged. Guests can participate in the interactive theater experience as up to 150 volunteers join the performance.
What an amazing night! I had dinner with my family here and we absolutely loved the Pirates show it was so much fun! The three-course meal was delicious, with a choice of tomato soup or salad, juicy chicken with mashed potatoes and veggies, and a rich chocolate cake for dessert. You can even upgrade your dinner if you want to make it extra special. The energy of the show was incredible and it’s perfect for all ages. I highly recommend it — such a memorable experience!

My friends and family went. We were a group of 35. Very accommodating. I think the staff had a hard time to pinpoint who the leader of the group was. There was a miscommunication with the picture taking. The food was alright, I like it better at Medevil Times. The show was good and long too so it's great for kids especially. I would recommend and come back again. I'm not sure if I would come back as a group of 35 again.

We had such a fun time at Pirates Dinner Adventure! From the moment we walked in, the energy was high, the atmosphere was exciting, and the staff was welcoming. The show was action-packed, full of acrobatics, sword fights, and even some audience participation—which the kids absolutely loved. Our whole family (kids ages 5, 7, and 14) was completely entertained from start to finish. The performers were engaging and kept everyone laughing and cheering. Surprisingly, the food was also really great! Everything came out hot and well-prepared. We especially enjoyed the roasted chicken and the dessert was a nice finish to the meal. Overall, it was a memorable experience that we would highly recommend for families looking for a unique and fun night out. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in the area!

Great experience! The show, atmosphere, drinks, and service was great! The food was alright. However, they do have options if you are vegetarian, vegan, and/or have dietary restrictions. My husband and I were asked to be a part of one of the games during the show and that was a lot of fun. The alcoholic drinks are strong! You get the keep the glass the drinks come in and if you decide attend another day, bring the glass and you get your drink at the refill price. I would definitely see this show again. I highly recommend it!
Brittany P — Google review
Look, the only reason that I'm giving the food a 4 out of 5 stars is because I wish the main dish was a bigger portion. Other than that, the food was delicious. It's a good thing (for me at least) that you can order various appetizers to add to your meal. And the 6 appetizers that my family and I tried here were equally as delicious. I especially enjoyed the fried calamari. As for the cocktails, I enjoyed a few rounds (since my wife was driving this evening) and each cocktail was just as delicious as the previous. Also, each one was made with double shots, so they were particularly potent... for all you out there who enjoy a nice, strong drink. The show and entertainment are the biggest draws here. The various acts and performances were all entertaining and delightful to watch. The musical numbers were all well done and were a joy to watch as the performers did their absolute best during each act. The overall story is a tad predictable, but I still found myself engrossed and entertained by the end of the night. It was especially fun to see all the audience participation during the show, with extra fun as I watched all three of my kids get in on the fun as they were called up to the stage to assist during various acts. (A big shout out to Antonio, the Yellow Pirate, whose section we were a part of this evening. He was particularly fun to watch and cheer on.) One thing I especially want to point out was the quality of the service we received. On this particular night, our server was Wendy, and she did an excellent job in getting us out drinks, meals, and desserts in a speedy manner. And she was cheerful and delightful every time she came by our table. Hopefully, when we return, we'll have the pleasure of having her as our server once again. (Seriously, a big thank you Wendy, you were the best!) A family night out here can get a bit pricey, but for the food, entertainment, atmosphere, and overall experience you will have here, I think it's well worth the price. My family and I left the show already planning for a return visit before the end of the year.

The show was interactive and fun, food was mid but i really enjoyed the tender roasted turkey leg. The mash was boxed and veggies, frozen. Service and performance, excellent. Great for children and families. Used the discount code and got seated in the far left corner, with the worst view though.

this dinner adventure is amazing. the atmosphere is so detailed and the stunts are beyond fantastic! the actors are so fun and great with both kids and adults- kids are constantly let into stage/boats in a great, interactive way! definitely worth the cost- additionally, surprisingly, it’s a musical! fantastic singers, actors, and especially stuntmen! the strength of these actors are unbelievable!
Neil C — Google review
Such a wonderful place! The staff and actors are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The show starts right on time (or very close to it), and everything runs smoothly. I recommend arriving at least 15 minutes early to really take in the atmosphere. There’s a gift shop at the entrance — not the cheapest, but full of fun items that add to the experience. We purchased VIP tickets, and they were absolutely worth it! Sitting up front kept my 3-year-old and 1-year-old completely entertained the entire time. The food was good — not Michelin-star level, but definitely solid and satisfying. Overall, a great outing for families with little ones. Highly recommend!

Theme park
Water & Amusement Parks
Knott's Berry Farm, California's original theme park, offers a mix of fast rides and old-fashioned charm on its 160-acre property. The park features thrilling roller coasters, an authentic 1800s ghost town, and a partnership with the Peanuts characters for meet-and-greets. Visitors can also enjoy seasonal attractions like the Knotts Boysenberry Festival celebrating the farm's berry roots.
I recently became a season pass holder at Knott’s Berry Farm, and I can honestly say Knott’s never disappoints! For the Halloween and fall season, the park goes all out, there isn’t a single section that isn’t decorated. From spooky touches to festive fall details, everywhere you look feels immersive and full of energy. The team members are always friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit even better. You can tell they care about creating a fun experience for everyone. I highly recommend getting a season pass. It’s worth every penny, and with how often Knott’s updates their seasonal themes and decorations, there’s always something new to enjoy. Knott’s Berry Farm continues to set the bar high for theme park experiences!

My family and I went recently to Knotts Scary Farm. We had a blast on the rides and watching the shows. Arrive early to see the opening ceremonies. We bought the Boo-ffet tickets and spent the night at the Knotts Hotel. Highly recommend doing that. The dinner was amazing, fun and delicious. We loved all the haunted houses especially The Zoo. Make sure to visit that one after 10:30 pm.

We had such a blast! We arrived when it opened and the e parking was straight forward. We walked with a fairly sizable crowd into the park. Security was quick and only my daughter’s backpack was flagged. Once we got into the park it was a very cool atmosphere! I loved the old miner/western feel. We hiked to the closest roller coaster which was the Silver Bullet, which is a feet hanging one. My kids had not really been on a roller coaster - this was their first one… and what a first! It was a blast; hardly any line! We continued through the park and went on a bunch of rides with minimal wait times. So much more relaxing than Disneyland… and can’t beat the affordable price especially with a family of seven. We opted for the meal plan and even with that it was a fraction of Disneyland. Thank you Knott’s Berry Farm for a great day filled with a fun, safe and exciting atmosphere!

Season passes are worth every penny. Make sure to also purchase the parking pass. Halloween is Super fun, kids get to Trick or Treat. Whenever we go we always are able to ride a bunch of rides. You are able to bring in your own food and drinks. The lines are not very long. Bring your Flip Flops or Crocks for the Water rides. There is something for all ages to enjoy. Go there make Memories, time is fleeting.

We had a fantastic visit for my birthday to Knott's Scary Farm. The mazes are all so different and being able to ride some of the biggest & baddest roller coasters in the park at night added to the fun! The characters all around the park are there to scare you! And are wildly entertaining. We made it to a couple shows before leaving for the night. We recommend the Fast Pass if you can swing it. It's the difference between waiting 90 minutes in line and waiting 15 minutes, so you can see A LOT more with it.

Knott's Scary Farm is a total blast!! We had a great time! The scary music, the scary actors walking around, the rides and the haunted houses where all so good! We arrived at 7pm when the park opened and got back to our hotel room at 1am! Super fun time!!! Last year we went to Universal Studios for Halloween festivities and that was a total dud....
Elaine G — Google review
Knott’s Scary Farm Review Knott’s Scary Farm delivered a thrilling and chilling experience that lived up to its reputation as a premier Halloween event, though it had its highs and lows. The maze lines moved surprisingly fast, which was a huge plus. I was able to dive into the heart-pounding mazes without much waiting, each one packed with eerie theming and jump scares that kept my adrenaline pumping. The scare actors roaming the park were a highlight—popping out of the shadows and startling guests with perfect timing. Their energy added to the spooky atmosphere, and it was both exciting and terrifying to watch them in action. However, the ride lines were a different story. They dragged on much longer, testing my patience at times, especially for popular attractions. It was a bit of a buzzkill after the quick-moving maze lines. The park’s ambiance was delightfully creepy, with dim lighting and foggy corners that made every step a little unnerving—sometimes too dark, which added to the fright factor but could feel disorienting. I was hyped to try the much-talked-about Final Cake, hoping for a unique treat to cap off the night. Unfortunately, it was a letdown. For $18, it wasn’t worth it—lacking in flavor and not nearly as exciting as the event itself. I’d recommend skipping it and spending your money on some of the better food options available, like a hearty meal to fuel you through the scares. Overall, Knott’s Scary Farm was a blast for its mazes, scare zones, and creepy vibe, but the long ride lines and overpriced Final Cake were drawbacks. If you’re going for the scares, you won’t be disappointed—just plan your time wisely and maybe grab a burger instead of the dessert!

This was my first time going. It was pretty packed with school trips and families. We rode some rides, got the all day drink cup for $18.99, and ate at Johnny Rockets which was delicious. The decor is fun and pretty well maintained. The train was cool, and having characters interact with riders on the ride was fun. The observation tower gave good views of the area. Parking wasn't too terrible and was well lit after dark. The funnel cakes are out of this world!

Step into a world of chivalry and excitement at Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament, where the spirit of the eleventh century comes alive! This immersive experience features thrilling jousting matches, impressive horsemanship, and breathtaking falconry displays. Guests are treated to a delightful four-course meal served without utensils in a grand castle-like setting. As you dine, watch knights clad in armor compete for glory while horses perform stunning routines that showcase their training and elegance.
Our group of 45 had an unforgettable night at Medieval Times in Buena Park! From the moment we arrived, the staff treated us like royalty — making sure everyone in our large party was seated together, comfortable, and part of the excitement. Every detail was handled with genuine care and enthusiasm, which made coordinating such a big group completely stress-free. The show itself was absolutely spectacular. The knights, horses, and performers gave it their all — the energy, the choreography, and even the crowd interaction were top-notch. The food was delicious (and fun to eat without utensils!), the drinks were flowing, and the cheering never stopped. You could feel the joy and engagement from every member of our group, from the kids to the adults. We left grinning ear to ear, talking about the black and white knight’s escapades and already planning our next visit. It’s rare to find a place that blends entertainment, hospitality, and a sense of shared adventure so perfectly. Medieval Times Buena Park delivered an experience worthy of its crown — we can’t recommend it enough! 👑⚔️🐎

What a fun experience! We had a great time. Food could use some help! Good thing Porto’s is next store lol. The staff was amazing. All the little extras are nice and all the sword variety was kinda cool to see. Definitely be prepared to spend money on the gift shop!

Was seated with Res Knight. He was the clear dominant knight of the whole group. Despite revealing his rebellious association with the Catalan off shoot he really screwed up the reveal and ended up having all the knights turn against him. If he was smart he would have behaved himself during the joust. Then, when the time was right he could have snuck behind stage and slayed the king. The Queen clearly wanted his D so she would have probably been ok with it. Instead his hubris got him slayed and he didn’t get the girl. Also, it’s ridiculous how much money. Medieval Times is printing. The novelty of the utensiless food was fun as a child but coming back as an adult, my $75 experience was probably a $3 meal. If you are going to continue with that, that’s fine but I think they should replace all the amplifying recorded music with live musicians. They can certainly afford it and it would really go a long way to help with the immersion. Plus I am sure everyone would love to jam with a talented bard.

Wonderful experience for the family while visiting the area for a trip to Disneyland. The food portions are large, and the food is pretty good. You can also get a to-go box if needed. You can get alcoholic drinks before the show starts and you can walk around their gift shops and see the horses in their stables.

I absolutely loved my visit to Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament! The food was amazing—honestly, I was surprised by how delicious everything was. It was such a hearty, satisfying meal that perfectly matched the theme. The show was absolutely fantastic! I’ve wanted to visit since I was a kid, and after all these years, it was so worth the wait. The actors did an incredible job bringing the medieval atmosphere to life. Their interactions with the audience made it even more fun and immersive—it truly felt like being part of a real tournament from the medieval era. An unforgettable experience from start to finish! ⚔️

Big Air Trampoline & Adventure Park in Buena Park, CA offers a unique trampoline park experience with various attractions. In addition to the standard trampolines, visitors can enjoy activities like bull riding, climbing walls, and even a jousting competition called Battlebeam. The park also features Zero-Gravity Court, Martian Mountain for climbing, Space Slam for basketball enthusiasts, Haley's Dodge-It for dodgeball fans, and The Launch Pad for flipping into foam cubes.
I recently booked a party package here and our experience was beyond amazing! I was skeptical at first as we had never been here but were looking into this for a birthday venue, needless to say it was a great choice! Upon booking we received a confirmation call. When we arrived the day of the event the staff made it very easy to check in our whole party and accommodate decorations and cake! The staff was beyond pleasant and very helpful and attentive throughout our whole event. Our host Josue was phenomenal during our dinning hours providing us with excellent service and very attentive to what we needed! I look forward to more visits and a few more birthdays here.

Big Air is a large play area for kids. Overall, it is a okay play area for kids but it was a bit run down. I have never been here and did not know how long ago it opened, but it looked like it's been there for a while and very minimal maintenance was performed. I did like that that were several options (basic trampolines, basketball, jousting, and a dodge ball area) for the kids, but it just didn't feel clean. It also was hot and stuffy inside. I understand you have a ton of kids running around causing the stuffiness, but I felt like the AC wasn't running properly. They had some huge fans running in a few locations but unless you were right by it, it didn't help much. Even then, it was warm air circulated. Being that the place did look a bit run down, I didn't think it was an AC issue, but just the way it was there. There are also seating areas for those not participating which was good. I would go back if the kids really wanted to, but I would look for some other places first.

$27 + $ of socks. For 90minutes of jumping. That was the cheapest package. Went on a supposedly not too busy night but place was packed. There's no safety entrance, anyone could walk all the way in and no one would notice. The only way employees knew who paid was through a sticker which a lot of jumpers weren't wearing. There's a no outside food sign and a lot of people were having a full on picnic. There was trash everywhere and a lot of chairs were occupied with bottles of water and personal items with no one on sight. It was indeed hot and big fans were placed to kind of help. I would most likely never return.

This place is meh. It's fun jumping around, but it's like you are surrounded by hall monitors telling you that everything you do is dangerous and not permitted. I was just jumping up and down with my nephew holding his hands, but apparently that's considered dangerous somehow. It's kind of stupid because before going in, you have to sign a waiver stating that it's not the company's fault if you get injured.

We were invited to attend a birthday party here. The kids had fun jumping and it was not super crowded. After jumping, the group was gathered and placed in a area to eat. Overall the food and drinks were good but the Sprite drink was flat. The staff was helpful and attentive. I took a star ratting off because the overall sitting area was dirty and/sticky where food was dropped and not cleaned. They should have someone walking around just cleaning especially since I overheard a staff member telling another staff member “I’m bored”….. give him a cleaning rag to help clean??

Clean and friendly staff. Lots of fun options for our three year old and he was capable of doing almost everything and safely. We went on a sat. As soon as it opened and it was perfect, we got a groupon for two hrs and all the parties and crowd got there about an hour or so into our time so we left just in time. We want to come back for toddler time during the summer :)

Big Air Trampoline & Adventure Park is an absolute blast! I recently visited with my daughter, and we had the time of our lives. The park offers a wide range of exhilarating activities that cater to all ages and skill levels. The trampolines are top-notch, providing incredible bounce and plenty of space to show off some impressive flips and tricks. The adventure park section is equally exciting, with thrilling obstacle courses and challenging climbing walls that tested our agility and strength. The staff members were friendly and attentive, ensuring everyone's safety while creating a fun and lively atmosphere. Big Air Trampoline & Adventure Park is definitely a must-visit destination for anyone seeking an adrenaline-pumping adventure. I highly recommend it and would give it a well-deserved five-star rating!

Knott's Soak City is a must-visit waterpark located at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, CA. It features 23 waterslides, a 750,000 gallon wave pool, and a 1/3rd mile lazy river. The park offers separate admission from Knott's Berry Farm and is open from May to September.
Is really fun here. I Love the water slides, especially the one where you can get in with the whole family. The lazy river is super big and fun. There's a ride where you slide on your belly. Overall I think Soak City is the best place to go for summer. ( Reviewed by my 9year old daughter)

We celebrated a birthday. Food is $40-50 per person. Very few trees, and we had to sit in the sun all day. That's the only unpleasant thing. We waited for a few hours for a place under an umbrella to become free. A boy started drowning in the waves, and the rescuers saved him. They did a great job. You can trust children! Thanks to the rescuers.

We visited Knott’s Soak City on a Sunday with our three kids. Overall, it was fun — but there are a few things to know in advance if you want the best experience. Parking was a challenge. It cost $35, which we expected, but by noon it was completely full. We spent nearly 20 minutes circling the lot, and the one-way parking lanes were poorly marked and confusing. Our kids got discouraged thinking we’d have to leave, but luckily we caught someone leaving and followed them to their spot. The park itself is lively but packed, which is understandable for a hot summer weekend. We started with the Lazy River — unfortunately, it wasn’t very “lazy” without a float. Only about 20% of people had access to float tubes, and the rest were standing around or wading through. The real issue though was the flooring: the surface was extremely rough. My wife and I both got cuts on our toes, and all three of our kids had scrapes or cuts on their fingers. It felt like walking on coarse sandpaper — something we’ve never experienced at other water parks. That said, there were still plenty of enjoyable areas. The slides were exciting, the wave pool was great for the kids, and the splash zones were well-designed and shaded. We noticed some families brought in their own food and drinks (smart move), but we didn’t — and paid high prices for basic snacks and drinks. If we return, we’ll bring water shoes and pack our own cooler without question. Final verdict: There’s fun to be had here, but you have to plan ahead — especially for float access, food, and foot protection. The park needs to address the flooring issue seriously; safety shouldn’t be compromised. That said, our family made some great memories, and with better prep next time, we’d be more ready to enjoy it fully.

Fun in the sun and it couldn’t have been more perfect for my kids since they love the water, me, not so much! I recommend coming to the water park on weekdays as there are less people and you can get more rides in. Park open at 10 and most people are lined up by 930. Parking is 35, if you are local, probably uber there is cheaper. I recommend getting a food pass for 51$ as you can get food every 90 minutes and drinks every 15 minutes. Once’s you get in find a place to park your stroller or wagon. They do allow you to bring in food and water , which is so good because my kids find American food harder to chew bc it is drier. Plenty of smaller playground for younger kids. Get on all the rides first thing and then do lazy river and wave pool. Pack extra towels and a picnic blanket bc there is a place to do that! We barely used the chair bc after being in the water, the kids were cold and needed to dry out.

We visited Soak City on a weekday during the summer and it was very busy—seemed to be at full capacity. We arrived later in the day, so finding available seating was tough. I’d definitely recommend bringing your own chairs and an umbrella for the grassy areas. Getting through security was a bit of a hassle—my keys, phone, and the zipper on my toiletries bag triggered the scanner and turned the process into a full 5-minute ordeal. Once inside, the atmosphere was fun and family-friendly. We enjoyed the lazy river, and although there was about a 10-minute wait for floating tubes, it wasn’t bad. Food-wise, the pizza line was long, but the cafe with burgers and fries moved much quicker. Unfortunately, my phone got ruined—next time I’d bring a better waterproof pouch or just leave it in the car. Overall, we had a great time and I would definitely visit again!

Main themes: tidal wave, floating village, lots of fund with little kids facilities, various straight and spinning slides, recommend a seasonal ticket, be prepared with a soft wet flip flop, walking on all pool areas seemed spiky and get bleeding easily, maker sure you get sun burn protection, drink lots of water, stay safe, security teams were sufficient and reliable.

So much fun! Season passes to Knott's and Soak City are definitely worth it. The kids love it every time we visit.

Had a wonderful time with my kids. The wait in line was no more than 15 minutes on some slides. The food was very expensive. I do not recommend eating there, especially if it is a big group. The pizza was $66! Our favorite ride was the Lazy River and The Wedge.

The Source OC is a modern and innovative complex in Buena Park, Southern California. It offers a diverse mix of shopping and dining options, as well as an impressive entertainment experience. The complex features state-of-the-art technologies, including eye-catching LEDs at the pedestrian entrance. Visitors can explore a wide range of retail shops and enjoy various dining choices, with two food courts offering Korean street food and sweets.
This place is my home away from home, if you are a K-pop or K-Drama LOVER this is the place to go, they have every Korean food, every Korean pop store and they have a place where Adults pay $5 and kids are $25 for a all day indoor play plus arcade plus restaurant it’s a win win. I recommend this place 1000 times over, and you can also take dance classes at the K-pop center where you can do auditions as well as break out dances outside on stage it’s a wonderful place that I will visit till I’m old and gray. Enjoy!

It's a TESLA convention out here!! All jokes aside, the place is very well kept and guarded by security guards. There are 2 main food courts with an ample selection. The snack store has some solid items from South Korea. The rest of the shops are K-POP focused. 3 main floors with the parking lot built around the mall. Great architecture and planning which makes it extremely convenient to visit.

Connected to the Hilton Buena Park this shopping mall is tri-level with lots of outdoor space. There are many places to dine. Built by and for the Korean population one can learn about the culfure. Retail stores carry Korean clothes, and even claw machines popular in Korean. A fun place to explore and dine.

The Source OC, commonly called Source mall, is a 3-story building with a variety of stores, restaurants, CGV movie theater, and other fun things to do. There is a large event hall on the 1st floor where concerts and events are held, and many K-POP related events are held due to the Korean Wave. There are also stores selling K-POP related products. On the 2nd floor, there is a large convenience store called Seoul Stop that recently opened, where you can buy the latest popular Korean products and eat Hangang Ramen, which is popular in Korea. Right next to the entrance of Seoul Stop is a Photo Spot that is a replica of Apgujeong Station on Seoul Subway Line 3. On the 3rd floor, there is a CGV movie theater (currently under construction), where you can watch the latest Korean movies, making you feel like you are watching a movie in a Korean movie theater. The Source OC also has ample parking space, which is an advantage.

The Source OC is our go-to destination for family outings! We love bringing our kids to the indoor playground—it's safe, clean, and keeps them entertained for hours. The center is filled with a great mix of Asian-themed shops and restaurants, offering something new to explore every time. Plus, it even has a cinema, which is perfect for date nights or family movie days. With plenty of secure parking, it’s a convenient and enjoyable spot for both parents and kids. A true 5-star experience all around!

I love coming here. 1. 3-4 stories of free plentiful covered parking! I consider this area like the OC version of Ktown and love that unlike LA Ktown, parking is free here and easier to get by! 2. So many food options to choose from! There's a food court on the third and second floor, sit down restaurants on the third and first floor, and your choice of desserts and quick eats! 3. A CGV Cinema for your Korean flicks and kpop concerts / screenings. 4. Kpop stores and K-beauty stores 5. D-Festa on the third floor, which I heard will have a spot here permanently with interactive kpop activities, exhibit, etc. I have fond memories of coming here during their infancy when some of the shops here were hosting BTS cupsleeve events. Happy to see more stores and vendors filling up the plaza here and making this place a location where you can easily spend a good portion of the day here! And depending on the weekend, there's usually community groups hosting events on the main level or dance groups doing dance practice or even giveaways with K-brands. Never a dull time here!

Even though mall felt so empty on a Tuesday during the day, I really liked it. Wish they would finish fixing up the construction/updates going on. 3 story outdoor mall. Movie theater and restaurants on the top. Stage in the center on the first floor. Free parking in the parking structure. All Asian businesses except for 1 Mexican restaurant on top:) We enjoyed walking the whole thing. The desserts were my favorite.

I hadn’t been here in years and it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be after reading all of the bad reviews, however there were two main things that I didn’t like. First, sadly they don’t hold cakes anymore and second, the pizzas and desserts are not full. They only had 3 types of pizzas to choose from and the dessert section was a little empty as well. Other than that it’s a great place to go specially if you have kids.

I don’t know if the good reviews are because of fond memories, but this place is in desperate need of video game maintenance, deep cleaning and hygiene care. I got sick from this place. My family and I had an okay time. The mini bowling alley was fun. However, the fact that some of the games (including the bowling alley, because it crashed out on us) are broken or are starting to break, it’s not a very attractive place especially for the price. And to add insult to injury, the food is NOT good. It’s gross.

Buffet foods were well stock and quickly refilled. Pizza selection was varied as usual and staff accepted requests well for the pizzas that weren’t currently stocked. Would like pizzas to be cut more evenly. Coke Zero dispenser was defective, coming out clear and unmixed. Manager was on the floor and was attentive of dining area needs. Overall experience was good for dinner service.

Museum
Knott's Berry Farm Independence Hall is a full-scale replica of Philadelphia's historic Independence Hall, complete with a copy of the Liberty Bell. Located just across the street from Knott's Berry Farm, this educational attraction offers visitors an engaging history lesson. Built in 1966 and open to the public for free, it stands as a meticulously crafted brick-for-brick reproduction of the original landmark.
We visited this place on a Wednesday, simply because we were nearby and my wife had never been. It's an exact replica (although a bit smaller if I'm not mistaken), of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, complete with a cracked Liberty Bell and all. Staff was super friendly and believe it or not, there were tons of random people with historical knowledge, just happy to talk to us about cool stories and what not. Hadn't been there since I was a kid on a field trip, but it is pretty cool as an adult.

I've been coming here with my parents and now with my kids since the 70's. Sometimes we've come in the evening when it is closed and it is still a very cool place to look at from the outside. Having said that, going inside and seeing all of the history and watching and listening to the debate regarding signing the Declaration of Independence is a very moving experience when you think about it from the perspective of the signers in 1776. We have 7 and 10 year old daughters and they both enjoyed looking around although not as much as my wife and I. We will go again when we are back in Cali. Shout out to the gentleman working there and providing history and facts. What a very nice and super informative guy. Keep him around Knott's, he's awesome.

Great place. The Independence Hall was closed but still really cool to check out. There's also a statue of a colonial soldier nearby. To my understanding this replica is 1:1 and I've toured the original so I can attest to this claim by saying yea they're really similar. Great for families or a photo op but not great for bringing your friends or a date. Great location, right next to Soak City and Knott's Berry Farm. If you're in the neighborhood and interested, it's a cool spot to go to. 👍

The best place to look at the Liberty Bell. Also you should talk to Danny about history. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. Knott's isn't always just having fun but to hear and look around Independence Hall is always amazing. Interesting place to visit and to enjoy our American history without knowing that it's educational. It's a hidden jem for old and young.

Such a great place to take students. My students have been studying US history and this is the perfect culminating event for the unit. It costs 23.00 for buses- make sure you have cash for that- bus driver won't pay- other than that it's free. If you want to get a 2 hour tour with characters that dress up as Abigail Adams and benjamin Franklin there is a fee per student. Self guided tours are free for anyone. They have an exact replica of the liberty bell as well as an audio presentation of the ratification of the Declaration of Independence. The gift shop has many things to look at and purchase. My students had a GREAT time.

Porto's Bakery and Cafe, with multiple locations in the Los Angeles area, is a popular Cuban bakery known for its lively atmosphere and delicious offerings. Visitors can indulge in a variety of freshly baked goods, including cheese rolls, potato balls, and guava-filled pastries. The cafe also serves up Cuban sandwiches and other Latin snacks like tamales and croquetas de pollo or de jamon.
Gosh this place is hella busy and there is always a line up. To our surprise they are very efficient in moving the line up though but expect at-least a 30 mins wait. May not be a good place to get your caffeine in, especially if you are on the go. Decent baked goods. The match drink is okay if you like a light matcha taste. We prefer a strong bold Matcha taste and this one is far from offering that. These are everywhere in Los Angeles and they have build a reputation cafe place.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Porto’s Bakery – Buena Park, CA Porto’s Bakery in Buena Park is truly one of my favorite places to visit whenever I’m in Southern California! From the moment you walk in, the aroma of freshly baked pastries and coffee instantly makes you smile. The display cases are filled with irresistible treats—my personal favorites are the guava pastries, cheese rolls, and of course, the famous potato balls. Everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and made with love. Even though Porto’s is incredibly popular and always busy, the customer service is exceptional. The staff is friendly, efficient, and there are always plenty of them to keep things moving quickly. The line might look long, but it moves fast thanks to how well organized everything is. The establishment is spotless, from the counters to the cafe area, and it’s such a comfortable place to sit and enjoy your coffee and pastries. Speaking of coffee—theirs is delicious and pairs perfectly with any of their baked goods. Parking can get a little crowded, especially on weekends, but it’s worth it every time. Porto’s is a true Southern California staple—a must-visit for anyone who loves great food, great service, and an all-around delightful experience!

We can't leave California without visiting PORTO'S - IYKYK!!! The guaranteed long lines, no matter when you go confirms how incredibly good this bakery is! Prices are very reasonable and bakery items are heavenly made. It really is that good! We got the coffee cake this time as well as their signature guava pastries and everything else on the menu, lol. This is a 10000% cheat day that's well worth it! Ordered a vanilla chai Latte which was perfect. They have an efficient system to take your order. Plenty of seating and staff is sweet! Which we had this on the east coast.

114/10 My first time at this spot(Buena Park), we ordered cheese rolls, guava pie and Cubano (Cuban Sandwich). The Cubano comes with plantain chips, crispy! I really like the Cubano, the meat is flavorful and the portion is big, can share with two people. The guava pie is just sweet, not my jam. The cheese rolls are my all time favorite, classical comfort food! We also bump into a Labubu meet up group haha, they are so cute!!

Portos is great, bakery, drink, everything. Only one thing that needs huge improvement... traffic. If ever they are reading this review, put several staffs at the parking lot (or the exit) to help with traffic in and out. I am sure they can afford or spare several people to do that. FYI, average wait time for bakery is about 25 - 40 mins at least on weekend.

Went to Buena Park location on Saturday morning. Line outside to get in. It was not too bad of wait lines moves quickly. All the counters I went to order/pick up were all quick. Everyone know what they are doing. Great customer service! Picked up 6 dozens cheese rolls, 2 dozens guava cheese, 2 dozens dulcet de leche besito cookies for work trip to out of state. Got breakfast sandwich and guava juice. Everything always great at Portos! I wish there are more locations. Hopefully one day they'll expend to San Diego, airports and other states!

American restaurant
Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant is a classic American-style eatery located in Buena Park, California. It has a cafeteria-like atmosphere and is famous for its mouthwatering fried chicken and delectable boysenberry pie. The restaurant holds historical significance as it was the first dining spot at Knott's Berry Farm, where Mrs. Knott and her children initially served customers in the Tea Room. Today, the restaurant continues to use Mrs.
Family atmosphere, waitress had amazing customer service. Had to try the famous 100 year old fried chicken recipe. It didn't disappoint, it was literally the best fried chicken ive ever had. Crunchy, crispy, juice seasoned perfectly, portions are so big. Breast, wing, thigh, leg. Mashed potatoes perfection, strawberry rhubarb side and cabbage and ham, 6 biscuits with boysenberry Jam. And comes with pie slice. Under $26.00 could feed two. Additionally $8.00 to split the plat but worth it if you want to share. Kid, had the sliders, equally as good. I wish we had this restaurant in Oregon. 10 out of 10.

My dad swears that this is the best fried chicken he's had. I had to find out if he was right. We must have come during an odd time because my chicken was REALLY dry. Tasted fine just...left me wanting more. My husband loved his spicy chicken sandwich. Soup was ok, I let hubs have the salad. Sides were... sides. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it here and the staff was nice. But was hoping for more tender chicken. Maybe next time?

Alexa! Play “You should’ve gone elsewhere” by Knotts Chicken Dinner…. Attempted this location after a long day at Knotts Berry Farm.. This chicken was drier than my eczema 😒 ZERO flavor and not a piece of seasoning in sight! Not to mention I had to send an undercooked piece back to the kitchen. Don’t let the presentation fool you. A lot of things “look” good when you’re hungry but for almost $24+ a plate and $6.99 for drinks, you would at least expect something great. The hostess was obviously ready to go home and had a lot of people waiting with plenty of tables open…Yeah, we should’ve gone elsewhere…

I went for the midnight brunch avalible only select days during Knotts Scary Farm The entrance for the midnight brunch is at the back. Opposite of the main entrance. It was of course delicious. The must haves were the boysenberry sausages and biscuits with boysenberry jam. Everything else was filler. Coffee was hot and had a good flavor and the juices was ice cold super good. Plastic utensils were provided with sturdy disposable plates. No other toppings for the scrambled eggs other than salt pepper and ketchup. Parking is $40. This midnight brunch about 24 per person. All in all not bad especially if you don't like crowds but miss a buffet setting. There is a choice of: Waffles Pancakes Biscuits Scrambled eggs Country fried potatoes Fried chicken thighs and legs Bacon Boysenberry Sasuage Sasage gravy Boysenberry jam Hot syrup Fruit Coffee Orange juice Apple juice Water

I drove all the way from Idaho with some friends to visit Knotts Berry Farm for the first time. I was super excited to be able to make a reservation and come to this restaurant with my wife. (Date night!) Our waiter was super excellent and very friendly. My wife and I were able to order the famous chicken dinner. There is an option that is called split plate so you each get your own of the side salad a side of dessert and one more side, and then you share the chicken dinner. Now for the dinner, we did like the corn the salad and we really like the chicken dumpling soup. For our drinks, we got the boysenberry punch, which I think is a must try. We really enjoyed this punch. For our dessert, we tried both the apple pie and the boysenberry pie. Now my wife isn’t a cooked fruit person, but I enjoyed both pies a lot , especially the apple pie, which had a great cinnamon flavor to the apples. Now for the chicken, we were left a little bit disappointed. On our platter, we got three pieces of chicken. My wife and I each had a small smaller piece like a drumstick and it tasted very good and very crispy. But when it came to share the big breast, it tasted like it was sitting under a heat lamp for a while. It just didn’t taste fresh so we were both disappointed in that aspect. Now when it comes to the atmosphere of this restaurant, I loved it! I thought it was very unique. There are a couple different dining areas that you are able to go to and they seemed a little bit differently. To us it kind of felt similar to a Cracker Barrel, but better. Overall, I thought this was a good restaurant. I would love to come back and give it another try and be able to try something different. I would highly recommend making a reservation as this place will be a BUSY. If you will also are a season pass holder, you are able to get a 10% discount which I loved.

Childhood nostalgia and a craving for fried chicken led me back to Mrs. Knott’s Chicken Dinner. We came on a Sunday night around 6pm. Parking was available in the metered lot and completely validated by the restaurant. There was a 45 minute wait upon arrival, which went by relatively quickly thanks to the various shops nearby. One thing that was a little inconvenient was that we could not view our place in line during our wait. Upon checking in, we received a text that said “You’re on the waitlist at Mrs. Knott’s Chicken Dinner. View waitlist:” with a link to OpenTable. However, the Opentable page only told us we were on the waitlist and did not tell us how many parties were in front of us. There was, however, a countdown to our “reservation” time which was surprisingly accurate. The restaurant felt rustic like an antique farmhouse in the south. Martyn gave us great service. He continuously checked up on us and got us whatever we needed. The food was ok. Definitely not as good as I remembered it was 10 years ago. The bread was decent, and I liked the boysenberry jam it came with. The appetizers were also pretty good. We got the onion rings and the fried mozzarella. The onion rings were served stacked on each other like a tower with ranch and bbq sauce. There were 4 pieces of fried mozzarella in one order. They were shaped like half moons and served with a tomato cheese sauce. But Mrs. Knott’s famous fried chicken platter disappointed me. The pieces of fried chicken varied in quality. The drumstick and thigh were pretty good. They were crispy and moist. But the wing and breast were very dry. The kicker is that you have the option of ordering all white meat for an extra $5, but the pieces of white meat I received were significantly poorer in quality than the pieces of dark meat. This inconsistency was consistent across all plates at our table - everyone agreed that the breasts and wings were too dry. The mashed potatoes were good… on their own. But I was not a fan of the gravy on top. And the corn… was corn. You have the option of choosing corn or cabbage with ham. Only one of us got the cabbage with ham, and he wasn’t exactly raving about it. I will say that quality aside, the dinner entrees have pretty good value as they all come with soup, salad, and a slice of pie. Mrs. Knott’s famous fried chicken platter, for example, was $26. We all opted for the boysenberry pie. The pie pastry was good, but the boysenberry filling… really needed like a scoop of ice cream or something on top.

It has been a while since I've been here, but I have to say it hasn't changed a bit. We used to live close by and had season passes for years, but moved and now live 150 miles away. We were in near by for a function recently and I just had to stop in, and I'm glad I did. I ordered Mrs. Knott's famous chicken dinner and was not disappointed. If you're going to order this meal, make sure you're hungry. It comes with soup and salad, dinner rolls with butter and boysenberry jam, half a chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, and a steamed vegetable, (I had the corn). The dinner also comes with dessert, boysenberry or apple pie. Truly a feast. But the best part, everything is amazingly delicious. It tastes just like I remember from so many years ago. Mrs. Knott's recipe, and memory, lives on through this wonderful establishment. Order what you like, I'm sure everything is fantastic, in my opinion, if you don't order Mrs. Knott's famous chicken dinner, you're missing out. I can't wait to return

Ralph B Clark Park, a vast 100-acre urban park in Buena Park and Fullerton, California, offers an array of amenities for visitors. The park features an amphitheater, barbecues, baseball fields, fishing spots, hiking trails, horseshoe pits, playgrounds, tennis and volleyball courts. Additionally, it houses an interpretive center showcasing ice age fossils and local geology exhibits.
been here a few times, but i've loved it every time! so peaceful with squirrels and ducks everywhere - a cool lake in the middle but with plenty of space to walk around! was so surprised to see what was in the park's main building - lots of great skeletal exhibits!! educational and great for kids but also just fun to anyone to walk through. any hikers might enjoy the trails that go around the outskirts of the park! you can get a pretty nice view - not terribly challenging or very long, but great to take a stroll or get some exercise. what a wonderful park!!

I absolutely loved this park! 🌳 It’s beautifully maintained, very clean, and surrounded by tall trees that make the atmosphere so peaceful and refreshing. There’s plenty of space for everything… walking, jogging, fishing, or just sitting back and relaxing. I took a nap while my son was fishing, it was great!! Also the playground is big and well-kept. Sports lovers will appreciate the baseball fields and tennis courts, I think you can also play pickle ball there… and there are open areas ideal for picnics or simply enjoying the outdoors. Whether you want to be active or just unwind, this park truly has something for everyone. A real gem! I loved it🥰

Ralph B. Clark Park is one of my absolute favorite parks! It’s a beautiful, peaceful area with so much to do. There are lots of trees, open grassy areas, a lake, playgrounds, baseball fields, and tennis courts, something for everyone. It’s also safe for kids to ride bikes, which is a huge plus for families. The hiking trails are a great way to explore nature, and the views are amazing, especially around sunset. There’s even a small museum that adds a fun educational touch to your visit. Perfect spot for relaxing, playing, or just enjoying the outdoors. Highly recommend:)

Parking is 3 dollars, but if it's not busy I recommend parking on the street, it's free! The park is quite large, very green and well maintained. The park boasts plenty of benches to sit at and convenient trees provide ample shade to sit under while enjoying the lake. Near the center of the park lies a mini museum with fossils, doesn't cost anything to enter and it's fun to walk around. A great park to relax at.

The park welcomes all families, friends, groups, or for any special occasionfor a picnic or barbecue! There are several hiking trails around the perimeter of the park. Or riding a bike down a trail! Enjoy a game of volleyball, open for some tennis or relaxing with family or friends underneath a shady tree or a gazebo site. There are several baseball fields towards the east side of the park. There is also a Interpretive Center opened between 10 to 2 in the afternoon. Well, worth a look. 👀 Make sure to reserve a site if you plan for something big or small ahead of your visit. Parking is usually available on a first come basis, even over the weekends. The weekend fee for parking is $5. The weekdays fee is $3. Oh street parking is available on a first-come basis of course! Enjoy your time and company!

Gorgeous park, lush grass, a 1mile loop around the perimeter of the park. Functioning restrooms, several playgrounds and tennis courts. There is another trail loop across the street just south of the baseball parks that overlooks the LA skyline. BEWARE OF PARKING ON THE STREET. Do not leave items visible in your car especially around dusk (my car got broken into before 😢) I would suggest parking inside and paying or getting the OC park pass $55/year it’s totally worth it 😊.

This park has good geological scenery. A wide open space, trees, a river, and because of the surrounding area, it seems that there’s a variety of species you can find here. Many activities happen here too.

This is one of the better parks ive been too. I'm saddened that people will leave trash from parties and/or will follow you while walking your dogs. These two ladies kept following me around. I haven't seen anyone else do this. Otherwise, Thank you to the workers that make sure to keep the park clean!

Rock & Brews is a vibrant bar and grill founded by KISS band members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley. The concept was born during a casual beer session with concert tour promoter David Furano, resulting in a menu of elevated comfort food such as pizza, burgers, and wood-fired barbecue. The restaurant's rock 'n roll theme is evident in its decor, featuring posters of iconic musicians. With over 100 craft beers available, it's a haven for beer enthusiasts.
Very cool place! Food was decent, brew was excellent! Looking forward to our next visit! The ambiance is the best part!

We just hosted a graduation dinner there for our high school grad and it was absolutely amazing. Management was very accommodating after the area we had reserved was closed for construction. Adam was our server, and we kept him busy all night! He was awesome! We are music lovers and we loved it!! Highly recommend if you need to host a party or just party on a day that ends in “y”. Thank you Adam and thank you Rock & Brews!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rock & Brews never disappoints! The watermelon margarita is absolutely refreshing — perfectly balanced and not too sweet. My go-to are the shrimp tacos, packed with flavor and just the right amount of kick. And when I’m craving comfort food, their pepperoni pizza totally hits the spot — crispy, cheesy, and delicious every time. Great food, fun atmosphere, and always friendly service. Highly recommend!

I enjoyed my experience here. The super high ceilings made the place feel very open which was nice. Kind of reminded me of a mix between a Hard Rock Cafe and a Buffalo Wild Wings. They had lots of different rock and roll decorations and sooo many tvs including a huge flat screen which people came to watch a baseball game on. The service was a little spotty (not the most attentive) but did the job and we got everything we asked for. The food was pretty good. I tried the southwest rolls, cheeseburger rolls, and bang bang shrimp tacos. I liked the flavor of all three - the sauce with the southwest rolls was especially delicious - but I was a little disappointed with the tacos - it was probably 2/3 coleslaw and only a couple shrimp. Also only two tacos came with the meal. Both the cocktails I had were yummy though - they had a lot of good happy hour/other random deals so this is somewhere I’d go if I just wanted to go watch a sporting event and have a couple drinks with some small apps.

Stumbled across this while in the area and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere here is dope and the music videos of the songs playing makes the feeling come alive. If you have a love for 80s or anything rock this place is your location. Food and service were all on point as well. Accommodation for all party sizes is available and the staff was super friendly. Definitely will be visiting their other locations.

Breakfast restaurant
The Broken Yolk Cafe is a cheerful chain that offers all-day breakfast, Mexican dishes, sandwiches, and burgers. It's known for its large portions and delicious eggs benedicts. Located in Buena Park, it's a popular spot with sometimes long waits, especially on weekends. The restaurant is within walking distance of Knotts and other attractions in the area. Customers can join the mobile waitlist on the website to save time.
A great service provided here from staff. Crunchy French toast could have had been better coated in Frosted Flakes more but I am splitting hairs here. Smoothie came with whipped cream which was an interesting choice. Would prefer it to come without whipped cream. They could offer more healthy smoothies to attract a more health-conscious clientele. Coffee was great. I enjoyed the option to add bacon and eggs to my French toast. I added avocado as well. Overall my meal was around $50.00 including tip. This is a great place to visit in the Buena Park area.

We went really early (8:30am or so) so there was no issues with parking or wait. It was the weekend before Halloween so the place was decorated and the staff was wearing costumes. Pretty neat! A balloon maker came and made swords for the kids who were very entertained. Food arrived quickly, Juan was our server. I chose the salmon avocado toast and I liked it a lot. I found the pancakes average (flavor is good but it’s rather dry) so I’d avoid that. Prices are reasonable and there’s a good selection of dishes to choose from. Would return again!

We stopped by The Broken Yolk Café on Beach Blvd in Buena Park, and this place was absolutely amazing! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome. Even the person going around refilling coffee always had a smile on his face, it’s such a great way to start your morning with happy people. We ordered a couple of breakfast dishes from the menu, and everything came out fresh, hot, and delicious. Our server, Evelio (the guy with his name on all his pens 😊), was outstanding. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of, even though the restaurant was very busy. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend this spot especially if you’re visiting Knott’s Berry Farm, which is just across the street. Great food, great service, and an uplifting atmosphere!

On the surface it's great. The kids had a lot of fun but looking with safety in mind I found quite a bit of things of concern. The first thing I noticed with safety in mind was how there were so many obstacles that were inherently dangerous to kids. Of course leaves parents to responsibility due to the liability waiver. However, there were plenty of wires and cords left unsecured without any locked outlets. Whether it be a tripping or shocking hazard, parents have to be extra vigilant for the tiny ones. The temperature was the second thing I noticed about the location and how hot and sweaty a lot of the kids were. Air was hard to breathe. Third, for the price of 4 kids and adult it was pretty high for the quality of playable toys. Ball pit had stuck tubes or dead fans, the projector above was unplugged and wires left to hang, dust collecting above the cages that had children breathing it in, electronics were all struggling, and toys in need of repair or replacement. I'm knit picking with the fact that even if you show up with just an hour left, the price has no difference. I know this sounds snobby to some but quality and safety shouldn't be ignored. Just making sure parents are aware of what to expect, thanks 🙏

The facility is expansive, encompassing dedicated toddler and older children's play areas, a small library, and a video game room (Mario Kart).  The toddler area is well-designed, featuring simulated snow play, and role-playing environments such as a kitchen, restaurant, police station, and fire station.  A small library with building blocks is also included.  The gaming area requires improved lighting; it is currently too dimly lit for comfortable screen viewing.  Furthermore, some of the game controllers are malfunctioning and require repair. The children's play area features a large indoor space with exploration opportunities, including a prominent red slide at the entrance.  Smaller slides and a tube area cater to children hesitant about taller slides.  A rock climbing structure is present, though currently partially enclosed by netting; full access would enhance its appeal. The restrooms are exceptionally clean, and the provision of slippers outside adds a positive touch. Several safety concerns require immediate attention.  Insufficient staff supervision in the play area allows for potential rough play amongst children, particularly interactions between older and younger children, and inattentive parental supervision.  Secondly, the presence of outside beverages within the play area is unmonitored.  Thirdly, the security protocol is inadequate;  entry is controlled via a stamping system, but exit is unchecked, posing a risk of unattended children leaving the premises.  This contrasts sharply with the security measures observed at Chuck E. Cheese's.  Therefore, caution is advised for parents leaving children unattended.

Playpie is an amazing spot to bring your kids to play, explore, and simply be kids! The space is well-designed with a wide variety of activities that cater to different interests and age groups—from imaginative play areas to a gaming room equipped with art stations and gaming consoles. There’s even a dedicated space for building Legos and other creative toys, as well as cozy areas for reading and quiet play. Parents will appreciate the ample seating areas throughout, making it comfortable to relax while keeping an eye on their little ones. If you get hungry, there’s a convenient café-style area where you can buy food and drinks. Clean and accessible restrooms are available, which is always a big plus. Overall, Playpie is thoughtfully set up to be both fun and functional for families. It's a place where kids can let their imagination run wild and parents can enjoy a break. Highly recommended for a fun and stress-free family outing!

Came here to recapture some childhood fun, had a ok time. Bought goods to make my own slot. Seemed prices were ok and later found out some stuff was overpriced. Plan on taking my nephews and cousin to experience the fun. The lady that helped me seemed nice and knowledgeable. There was also a younger guy there that seemed kinda rude, and didn’t really help at all. I met a guy there (Todd) who helped me out tremendously and that invited others to help me out and offer experience and know how. Bought a controller on my next visit. Built me a car and away I went. Plan on makin more cars, different bodies and even more fun. I’d recommend this place and you can judge for yourself.

Takeout Restaurant
Portillo's Buena Park is a Chicago-born chain known for its hot dogs, Italian beef sandwiches, and more. The restaurant offers a retro dining experience with over-the-top Chicago decor. It has received positive feedback for its friendly atmosphere and delicious food. Portillo's is celebrated as an iconic destination for experiencing authentic Chicago-style cuisine, including their renowned hot dogs and Italian beef sandwiches. With multiple awards under its belt, the restaurant has expanded to several states across America.
Oh my gosh, what an amazing sandwich that Italian beef was with the hot peppers the fries so crisp and fresh dipped into the cheese sauce that’s made with real cheese and don’t get me started on that chocolate cake shake how amazing the atmosphere is so cool there’s pictures and memorabilia everywhere You stand in line and you pay for your food. You wait to be called and you find a seat them indoor seating outdoor seating. They even have a drive-through if you have not been to this location you should definitely check it out. It has a very old diner kind of vibe to it. The staff were very nice and very helpful. The bathrooms were very clean and parking was very easy to find 10 out of 10. Totally recommend the food is absolutely delicious. The cake slice that we got for my daughter‘s birthday was still a little bit warm and so delicious. We shared a shake because it was just too much food for one person. We didn’t need to get the combo because in one order of fries with some cheese sauce, two sandwiches and a cake shake perfect for two people. They also have an app that you can join up and earn some points. Get some free french fries and a free cake slice for your birthday. This place is great. The shakes come with a whole slice of cake in the shake. Everything is made to order. The bread is super fresh. Can’t wait to come back and try the Chicago dog.

I think I ordered the wrong thing, French beef was dry, should've added cheese or something, or got the one with a sausage. Otherwise prices are good, fries were good, I like the vibe. Beers looked nice and cold, but I didn't get one myself. There's a pretty big parking lot, but looks like it still may be difficult to get something closer to the restaurant considering how busy it can get. I'll probably return again when I'm in the area. Definitely would return if I lived closer.

Overall, I felt really let down with my Hotdog. Not really at all like other Chicago dogs I've had. Visually, it was quite untidy - and it was cold on arrival and really soggy - you can see in my photo how one tomato slice is basically dissolving in moisture. Also, the Vienna was tough - it didn't have that soft, buttery "melt in the mouth" texture I associate with the brand - I found myself questioning if it was even a Vienna, and not just a generic, cheaper beef Frank. I love a good Chicago Dog - but despite having the right toppings, it felt "off", falling massively short of my expectations. On the plus side, lovely location, good vibes - just a sad dog experience, which given that this is clearly usually their specialty, defeats the purpose of the visit.
Christopher B — Google review
LOVE. THIS. PLACE! I've had at least 4 different meals here and they were all amazing *note* You need to know hot to order what you like. They customize everything e.g. dry, dipped, soaked. I had their cheddar and beef croissant and added a polish dog to it and was in heaven (maybe could have had a little more cheese, but I'm not docking for that. Have yet to try, but have high expectations for the salads, but feel they are overpriced when you can get several options of fully loaded dogs for under $10. Although there are fewer options, i think the quality and taste is way better than Pinks.

I will be only reviewing the hitting bays for golf. To start off, the service was friendly and attentive. Glad I made a reservation because it started to get busy during lunchtime. The system that they utilize is called Golfzon, which is a top of the line golf simulator. There are several hitting pads that is suppose to replicate different areas of the course. The hitting surface moves to the angle in which the ball is lying on. You can bring your clubs or use theirs. I don't know if they charge a fee for use. There are also golf balls that roll into a feeder in front of the hitting area. They are random balls, but most are range balls. For new guests, don't be afraid to ask how to use the software. At first, I thought we were not allowed to touch the mouse and keyboard, but you can. This opens up a myriad of options for your game. You can adjust tee height, change weather settings, etc. The only gripe I had to do with the screen. The projector didn't display the image bright enough to my liking. The screen itself had multiple folds which didn't give the image a clean look. Wish it was a little more taut. I would try this place again if the weather did not permit me to play golf outside. At the time of the review, the price is $50 per hour, per bay with a maximum of 6 people.

Olympic Golf Zone has a lot of potential. The space is large, stylish, and filled with activities like screen golf, pool tables, and a full bar. The atmosphere is fun and relaxed, and it feels like a place that could easily become a favorite hangout spot for many. The biggest issue is the service. It often feels unorganized and inattentive. Customers have to go ask multiple times just to place an order, and there is very little engagement from the staff. It seems like no one is really checking in on guests or making sure things are running smoothly. This is especially disappointing because everything else about the place works so well. With just a little more attention to customer service and floor management, it could be incredibly successful. The space, the concept, and the vibe are all there. It just needs more care in how it’s run. If you plan to play golf here, making a reservation is highly recommended. I truly hope they improve the service, because this place has everything it needs to be amazing.

Had a chill birthday here. This is my fourth time here. Mind you I am not a golfer. Still really enjoy the vibes, kind staff, and plenty of space. Aside from the wannabe gangsters who roll thru and try to pick fights, its a relatively chill spot with some great screen golf, batting cages, beer pong and even a DJ. The food choice is kindve weird though. Mostly sushi which doesnt make for great bar food IMO. I had chips n salsa and it was just OK. The garlic fries were bomb tho. So this place just needs to upgrade their menu a little and maybe hire a security guard LOL. So far this is my go-to spot at the Source. Dont have to wait an hour for a table. Just walk right in and enjoy!

The friendliness of the staff should be part of the conditions to be hired because it looks like no one likes working here such they are unfriendly and never smiling. Maybe they should take example on their big brother a few miles away… The parking is horribly expensive :o 25$ ahah and you still have to walk a bunch to get to the entrance of the park. For that price I thought I would park inside of the park on a golden spot inside of the park ;) but it was on a muddy parking of grass. What is really good is that almost nobody gets the fast pass so you can go again and again without having to wait for the big rides.

My 7 year old had a blast for 2 Days at Camp Snoopy. The crowd was medium, not a huge crowd, just enough folks for some great people watching 😀

This is a great place inside of Knott's Berry Farm to take your little kids. I think it's even better once the sun goes down and the lights come on.

Amusement park
Adventure City is a family-friendly amusement park located in Stanton, offering a variety of rides and attractions for all ages. Unlike the more popular theme parks in the area, Adventure City provides an affordable and less crowded experience. Visitors can enjoy small yet thrilling rollercoasters, a historic carousel from the 1940s, a petting zoo, and even a Thomas the Tank Engine zone for train enthusiasts to design their own tracks.
Took my 2 boys here for their first time on 1/3/25, ages 5 & 3. They were in the sweet spot and this park is great for ages 2-8 or so depending on their thrill level. I came here as a kid 20+ years ago and was thoroughly impressed by how well the park is maintained, clean, and operated. Bathrooms were great for families and the food was better than expected (see photo of the menu and prices). It was not that crowded despite it being Winter Break still so we rode everything multiple times and felt happy to leave after 3.5 hours and lunch inside the park. Overall it was a great visit!

We’ve been coming to this amusement park for my kids’ birthdays, and it’s become a family tradition we all look forward to! It’s the perfect size—not overwhelming like the huge theme parks, but still packed with fun. The ride lines are usually short, so the kids get to go on their favorites over and over again, which they love. One of the best parts is the small petting farm. It’s such a sweet touch and a great break from the rides—my kids enjoy petting the animals every time. It really adds to the charm of the park. Overall, it’s a fun, affordable, and family-friendly place that’s perfect for birthdays or just a weekend outing. Highly recommend for families with young kids!

I honestly did not have any good expectations for this place, but I was impressed! I always see the place driving by and didn't think it was even open anymore. It was actually my sister in law that wanted to bring the kids here. They state they're usually only open on the weekends and open all week during the summer. The place is much bigger than it looks. It has more than 10 rides. This is more kid friendly and a good place to introduce them to rides. They have a roller coaster that reverses. Prices were affordable. Food options are not bad. We got pizza and it was okay but not disgusting. If you want to eat food from home, you'd have to step outside, but you can come inside after. They even have Starbucks shop inside the park with an ice cream shop attached. Hope this place stays open for a long time!!

Lots of fun for the little ones!! I’ve come before when the park is packed with various summer camps, and when the park was empty like today.. and I definitely recommend coming on off days.. no lines, no crowds.

Small place but tons of fun for young kids. Lines are short. Wasn't too busy on a Sunday afternoon. Food is pretty good, we had chicken tenders, fries, curly fries, apple slices, cherry icy, coke, apple juice, chips and mini corn dogs. Spent about 4 hours here and repeated the rides a few times. Overall, great fun! Will be back soon!

Adventure city was great Took my 16yrs, 12yrs, 2yrs, and 8 month baby. Typically my son cries when the place is crowded. Forst time going and he loved it. Due to summer camp, there were several schools there and the wait time was not bad. The longes we waited was 15 min. If you have older kids or if you would like to play in the arcade, it is better to purchase the card online vs. at the park. Staff is kind and very helpful. Take your own water and food if you are ina budget. The park is not that budget frindly if you have a big family.
