READ THIS IN DEPTH REVIEW This is a fantastic place for friends and family. Born and raised in the valley for 37 years, things change. Old amazing signage and creative architecture makes way for condos and boxes. Ever wonder where some of the old valley memories have laid to rest? Well this place might just have the signs and pictures you have been looking for. Upon stepping in, you are greeted with vintage style clothing of some of the most iconic valley institutions no longer standing. It is a small gift shop and the temptations are pulling at your wallet. Buying a ticket and stepping through those doors, memories come flooding in. The Malibu Grand Prix car pulls you in only to have you be sucked in completely by the amazing smile-drawing relics they have here. Items such as local cowboys to BMX to non-existent restaurant signage, lives here on display to pull at your heartstrings. The deeper and longer you look, the more the memories of days past make you smile. This is a friendly and welcoming place and one that deserves your patronage. Valley residents heed my call, bring your family, friends and neighbors into this great homage to the past. Keep our history alive. I forgot to mention...ABSOLUTELY FREE VINTAGE ARCADES at the mini Family Fun Arcade area

Read moreI really liked this place. I grew up in the san Fernando Valley from about 1968-2004. It was cool seeing all this old memorabilia. Brought back some fond memories. Some of the displays block being able to see others. That was kinda a bummer. Looks like it's a never-ending work in progress. One other thing. I went in August. And it was very warm in there. No A/C. So you might want to take that into account when you go. But back to the cool things. They have pinball machines and old video games you can play for free. There are only 7 or so machines, so not gonna be there forever, but. It was cool. It also has a good size selection of Hollywood items and just kinda a pop culture collection as well. Especially coke. McDonald's, bobs big boy,matchbooks, and ashtrays . Really to much to name. The cost was $15. I was there about 1hr40min. But 1 nourish, I think, for most people. It's only open on Saturday and Sunday as well. It was fun. I drove from Las Vegas to Claremont. I made the drive to the valley for this place, and...
Read moreCool museum. Definitely worth the visit.
The guy at the front door could have been a lot nicer. Got there about ten minutes early and just wanted to check the place to see what I would be like for prepping.. But he was a bit insensitive considering what the party was for and just essentially offered to sell me a ticket.. For a whole ten minutes. If that's the "policy", it kind of sucks. And even if it is, there's a polite way to say no.
We had one hour to clean up. The guy didn't open the big garage door till we were basically finished getting 75 percent of the stuff out. Maybe he thought there were a lot of "guests" still in the area. But hey, "communicate" with the guest.
Many of my friends and I are in the service industry, as well as the deceased. They asked if we should give the guy a tip cuz he stayed the extra hours, cuz we often...
