PRETEND CITY CHILDREN'S MUSEUM REVIEWS
This place is a wonderful place for kids. My kids really had fun. The place is very nice, safe, and clean. This is a child-friendly environment and all of the staff are very professional and attentive. We had a good time and managed to get to everything we wanted to do. I highly recommend this playroom to everyone I know.
One of my favorite places to take my son. There are so many fantastic areas to explore at Cal Academy and it incredibly exciting for kids and adults to explore. I love the rotating exhibits to keep it fresh, as well as all of the mainstays - Aquarium, rainforest, penguins, planetarium, living roof. Love being a member here!
Wow. I really love this museum. It is the best one yet. It has the best aquarium. The fish are so big. Check out this one! Oh, that one is nice too! The gator is a cool one. There are lots of animals. The plant dome has many plants. The space dome has the whole universe. The roof is the best. I liked it a lot. Will be back soon! Like

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.
Outstanding museum collection dedicated to California artists, mainly impressionists. Congratulations to the Smith-Irvine family for their commitment to California art and its history and the time, efforts, and generous funding if this unique collection that will not exist without them. Renovating the paintings exposed every four months is an especially attractive feature and a refreshing touch that make me return again and again. If you add free entrance, free parking, elegant settings, and pleasant staff, it is hard to find a place like this anywhere.
Beautiful space. Paintings very nicely displayed. Comfortable viewing experience. Free validated parking.

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 decided to donate 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 are allowed to get up close to the cars because none are roped off like other museums. The museum has plenty of parking. They have professional staff who are happy to answer any questions you have.

MARCONI AUTOMOTIVE MUSEUM REVIEWS
It was very cool to see vintage muscle cars in this private collection. As we were leaving the owner and his daughter was out front and were very happy to answer our questions and listen to my family stories bases on a couple mustang he has in the collection.
HIGHLY recommend. Perfect collection in a small space, easy to get in and see everything. Do it.
Very clean and a lot of awesome cars. We took our adult son for his birthday, we all enjoyed it.
