I went with my cousin to The Mystery Spot on vacation 9/13/16. Our guide was named Anna - she was great. I assume they all are, but she funny and definitely entertained us. I loved it here, however, its not for people that get dizzy/vertigo or nausea easily. I could only stay in the mystery spot for so long before...

As our guide said at the end of the tour : 'And I've saved the best bit for last, and I bet it's the reason half of you are here. Here's your free bumper sticker'. The attraction itself is ok I suppose. But it's all about the sticker. Genius marketing.

They've built this spot on this "mystery" hill. It is a great experience. Scientifically its just an optical illusion. But still worth a visit.
It will definitely fascinate the kids & fun to take photos at this place.
The only thing I couldn't understand was the mystery of the pendulum. They have been clever in designing this.
Overall a great...

This landscape is an unusual phenomenon called a 'gravity hill', making things appear as they are going uphill which actually is really an optical illusion. I grew up down the street from a 'gravity hill' and it does seem like water flows uphill and such, but again, it's just an optical illusion. There are hundreds of places like this in...

Very unusual place-a must see in Santa Cruz. I don't want to give too much away, just go. My Dad was an engineer and had to visit every time he came to town. Seeing is believing.

OK first off- the place is still great- my kids loved it as much as I did a kabillion years ago when I first went.
The whole parking charge is a bummer- but whatev! You kind of go into the Mystery Spot knowing its a penultimate tourist trap. And it is utterly delightful as such.
The location is still totally...

Not a California native, I accidentally stumbled upon this place when we visited Santa Cruz 12 yrs ago. This time we were again visiting California as tourists with kids 7 and 8 and parents. We could not have not visited this place.
Drive: look up the place on Google Maps and don't expect signs to the place if driving 85...
