Once in a lifetime moment !!!

This is one of the few places everyone must visit when in Los Angeles. We had a great time. The park is very well organised. It’s very clean. The staff is very helpful. The express pass we brought was like a cherry to the cake.

It was fun and good time with family

The wait time was so high. Need to put lot of fans out there. Need to improve the restrooms too, too smelly.
