• Albanese Candy Factory
  "Cute, But "Tour" Is Deceiving"
  "Okay, so they have pretty much every conceivable candy on the planet here. So no worries, you will find at least one thing that rattles your sweet tooth! The chocolate fountain that pours down nearly from the ceiling is neat. Other than that, it is just a candy store. I'm not trying to downplay ..."it at all, it is an adorable candy shop, but after reading the other reviews we were expecting something different. There isn't really anything to do here, just wait in line for your candy, try samples etc. (expect long lines). There is no tour of the factory, which is behind closed doors. However, you can view the candy in production through some large windows in the store- this is the "tour". So overall, it is a rather quick stop. Fun place, just be prepared that it is just a candy shop, not a big factory tour experience like at Hershey or the Coca Cola Factory. " More >
• Star Plaza Theatre
  "Not a Bad Seat in the House"
  "We saw "Sesame Street Live! Elmo Makes Music" here and it was a wonderful experience. The theatre was very clean and in good condition. The seats were comfortable and set up stadium style, so even the shortest visitors could see from anywhere. The staff/ushers were all very friendly. My only com..."plaint: the soap dispensers in the bathroom were empty before the show even began and none of the sinks in the women's bathroom had any water pressure. Certainly didn't ruin the experience by any means, but it would be great to have more than a trickle of water to wash one's hands... next time we will just bring hand sanitizer and you may want to as well. Otherwise, enjoy your show! It truly is a great venue! " More >
