Even with big kids (daugthers - 17 and 19) it's is good fun. But buy tickers over the internet. We came at 10 (when they open), and got tickets for the 10.24 tour. When we left, the whole day was sold out. more

After reading several reviews, we were considering abandoning our plans to visit the Mystery Spot. However, after receiving encouragement from a friend who really enjoyed their visit, we thought we would humor them and give it a whirl. We are glad we did. Going through “the Spot” and taking part in the various demonstrations where great fun, and sometimes left... more

First, its 5 bucks per person to get in, and 5 bucks for parking... Not bad, except that the whole "tour" of the mystery spot experience was only 15 min...and at the end of 15 min, your left dumbfounded thinking, "thats it?! THATS the mystery spot?!" We should have known since the tour ahead of us left looking not so... more

But even I could figure out quite easily that the dramatic words spewing out of the guides mouth is simple hogwash and nothing more. Granted, the place gives you loads of entertainment, i.e. if you see it as only entertainment. But if... more

I am shocked and devastated to learn from several other reviewers that the Santa Cruz Mystery spot is just an illusion! What, no aliens, no suspension of the laws of physics, no dielectric biocosmic radiation?? (that last one is from the brochure). Seriously, after 12 years in the SF Bay area we made our first trip there last Saturday, and... more

Really a lame and dopey place to go...I can not see how anyone over 5 years old would find it a mystery....next stop see "The Thing" on interstate 10 in ole Arizona.... :o) more

I have been there as others. I noticed there were no birds around the cabin area. where as at the entrance an round about there were plenty. it seemed they avoided flying into or over the spot. Did any body else take note of this ?. Enjoyable and very interesting. and only five bucks. more
