PRETEND CITY CHILDREN'S MUSEUM REVIEWS
This review is for the Neurodivergent Family Night, which was amazing! I definitely recommend it. You do have to RSVP. It wasn't too loud or crowded. My autistic toddler and 8 year old both had a blast as well as mom, dad, and nana.
Incredible place! We spent the entire time there. Both our 3 and 6 year old loved visiting pretend city. They had so many creative spaces and activities. We’ve never seen a place like this before. Definitely enjoyed this more then going to any amusement park with the kids.
Such an amazing place! It is so great to have a play center for kids that is dedicated to pretend play. My son had a great time!

UCI JACK AND SHANAZ LANGSON INSTITUTE AND MUSEUM OF CALIFORNIA ART REVIEWS
I spent a few days in Newport Beach just hanging out I was looking for some interesting things to do and came across the Irvine Museum I'm not an art person but for some reason, I really enjoyed this place. The employees are very friendly and answered the questions I had regarding the paintings they also have a small gift shop that has some really nice books.
Great small museum close to the airport and UCI. Relaxed atmosphere for art of California. Nice selection of books with prints, too. Museum is a little difficult to find (in the Airport Tower), but is worth the look.
Learned more about business that can be done with an art degree. UCI students practicing their education. Interesting art space.

The Marconi Automotive Museum and Foundation for Kids is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded by Dick & John Marconi in 1994. The building was originally purchased to house the race team when John & Dick were racing full-time. After years of collecting exotic, rare, and classic cars, they donated their multimillion-dollar car collection to the Marconi Foundation for Kids. For almost 30 years, the Marconi Automotive Museum has been used as an event facility and educational center to generate money for children's charities and organizations throughout Orange County. The Marconi collection is home to over 100 vehicles and one of the largest Ferrari collections in North America, as well as Formula 1, Indy, and Vintage race cars. This museum has something for everyone. Visitors can get up close to the cars because none are roped off like other museums. The museum has plenty of parking.

MARCONI AUTOMOTIVE MUSEUM REVIEWS
This is the 2 or 3rd time my husband's company has had their Christmas party here and it's always just so organized and on point. The cars are beautiful the showroom is beautiful the history behind this museum is beautiful and such a interesting place. Restrooms are so clean and it's so spacious. A great place to host a elegant but fun event.
Amazing car and bike museum. So many Ferraris, mustang, some movie and tv show cars, etc. Not a huge museum but worth the price to enjoy the 100s of automobiles. Ill def come back again.
Amazing automobile museum. Fresh new vehicles all the time, pics from the day we came in! Very friendly staff, we even got some goodies from the gift store!!
