Venues & Event Spaces near Seal Beach, CA

“Clubhouse 6 has ping pong, exercise equipment, exercise classes, and an area for playing games or just socializing. It is the hub of Leisure World activities.”

“We’ve been going to Prep for years. My daughters and I took classes when they were young and now their teen daughters and sons take classes. My other younger grand kids love the kid classes too. They’re taught real skills to make real food. Nothing is dumbed down but is safe and doable. We have so many beautiful things from the well curated shop as well. My son had a team building night for his employees and it was a huge success. The shop is beautiful, the chefs are professional and able to break down a recipe so we all get it. I’ll keep going back.”

“This was a lot of fun.

We went online and reserved a space. I liked that we only had to pay for one person to make the reservation, rather than a group rate, and we were able to pay separately there. (Btw, it was electronic payment only. No cash.)

When we arrived, we found parking in one of the paid parking structures. We walked over and had to walk up the stairs to get to the location. It's not much to look at from the outside, but inside is pretty cool.

We walked inside and they were ready for us. We all signed a waiver, and had to show our IDs because they said it's classified as a 'bar' because they serve alcoholic beverages.

There were 7 of us ladies and we had 2 lanes for 90 minutes. Everyone was a novice, but we made it fun and the coach (Sebastian) was great too. He set us up nicely, and kept coming back to help us out, and his guidance actually worked. Lol. He gave us pointers and games to play, which made it interesting. Overall, I would say this was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend this outing for a group.

Also, just as a side note, there are several food spots within walking distance if you're hungry afterwards. Or before. (we chose a ramen spot)”

“I gave it a 4 star because of the greeter Kevin, he didn’t welcome us or say hello. When completing the waiver I had a question and he just waived his hand. He was just rude, not even a smile. This was our 1st time here and he made me feel like I was a bother.”

“How did I not know this wonderful place existed?! We were looking for unique and interactive options for our daughter's 5th birthday party. Our search led us to Craft and Light! From the get go, communication was amazing in regards to setting up and securing the date, time and party details. Our instructor Robin was prompt on party day and was so kind and thoughtful. Several parents at the party were asking about this place, how we found it and interested in coming back for parties of their own, whether it be for one of their adult workshops or birthday parties. The kids LOVED making slime and the craft allowed for a perfect amount of time for lunch/cake time as well. 10/10 recommend Craft + Light Creative Arts Studio. Thank you for making our daughter's birthday party a dream come true. She is still talking about it!”

“Great lil Art Studio in the Bixby Knolls area in Long Beach. Awesome place with different art medium classes & I had my Daughter's Bday party there. Kids had a GREAT time! Really nice owners, cool spot, local, clean facility. Near other shops, bakeries, restaurants, and local brewery. 5 stars!”

“Just finished a nice long weekend getaway with the dog. We booked the Oceanview suite to take advantage of the spacious rooms and had a great time. There's a lot of neat little perks to this hotel. Extremely dog friendly Water station available all day Coffee available in the morning (complimentary) - I also saw some free pizza slices by the coffee bar Wine social hour (complimentary) S'mores kits to enjoy with their fire pits You can borrow items for the beach and also boards and bikes. Dog beds Vinyl records players with a library of vinyls ( the collection was okay had a lot of beach vibe type of albums ) + more Like this place thinks of everything. The stay was very pleasant and all the staff were very friendly to engage with. It's centrally located to the beach and pier along within walking distances of plenty of shops and restaurants in the area. I highly recommend this hotel if you're planning a beach getaway”

“Very large theater, 10? Selections to choose from. Reclining chairs, selection of adult and other beverages. Parking structure and surrounded by eateries. Beach Blvd and Edinger.”

“Everything was really great and clean. Quick and easy. My room did smell like someone had previously smoked a cigar in it. It didn’t bother me enough to complaint and switch rooms, but I wish it didn’t smell like that.”

“It's good to have the Stand Up Comedy Club in Bellflower, so close to my house. Comedian Jiaoying Summers was very funny. Food and drinks were pretty good too.”

“Getting married here was a dream come true. First of all, the Ebell team was extremely easy to work with. Katie and Jen were responsive, kind, and helpful! Their vendor recommendations list was also great!

The Tres LA catering and drinks were delicious. The short rib was melt in your mouth luxurious, and they have a wonderful hors d’oeuvres selection. They also were extremely accommodating and helped us make our menu almost entirely gluten-free!

The wait staff and bartenders were extremely professional and the timing of the food was impeccable!

They have gotten the flow of weddings down to an art form here. The event seamlessly transitions through spaces and the staff changes the rooms over without anyone even noticing.

Lastly, the whole venue is unique, charming, and full of character. Replete with high ceilings, modern chandeliers, abundant natural light, vibrant greenery, and beautiful tile work, the central courtyard is truly stunning. The parlor feels like a welcoming living room that is full of character, with eclectic art and comfortable seating, and even a working piano. Lastly, of course the dining room is elegant and classic with its warm wood and large windows. 11/10 recommend getting married here!!”

“I love visiting this Japanese garden. It's so tranquil and serene and I get to visit my alma mater.

Be sure to make reservations. There is a parking lot just across of the garden. Parking will depend on the amount of time to choose.”

“Late Review, but worth it! I hosted a party at The Loft on 12/13/2025, and it was truly an amazing experience from start to finish. I began searching for venues around October and came across The Loft online. From the very first tour, I was genuinely impressed. The space is beautiful inside and, most importantly to me, extremely clean. You can tell right away that they take pride in maintaining their venue, even during showings, which I personally think says a lot. The event itself was so much fun, and the entire planning process felt smooth because I had incredible support from Charlotte and Dominique every step of the way. They were communicative, helpful, and always willing to provide guidance when needed. I also really appreciated that The Loft allows outside vendors, which made it easy to fully customize my event and bring my vision to life. Whenever I needed recommendations Charlotte and Dominique were happy to connect me with vetted, reliable vendors, which was a huge plus and made planning even easier. Overall, my experience was fantastic. The space is spacious, CLEAN, and well-maintained, but what truly sets The Loft apart is the level of care, communication, and support from the owners. That's incredibly important to me when booking a venue, and they absolutely delivered. I can definitely see myself booking with The Loft again in the future. Thank you so much, Charlotte and Dominique, for everything you do!”

“If you are looking for the best candy themed business in LA County make sure that you visit. Candified is located in the Belmont Shore community of Long Beach CA. They have so much your mind will be blown so be careful. They hold private parties for all. You need to come in and take in all of the varieties to choose from. See you there!”

“My wife recommened this place after she had birthday lunch w her class members yesterday. I was curious about this restaurant so we decided to celebrate for lunch on Valentine's day. We got there around 12. All tables were filled except some patio tables. Thank God!! We sat at the round table in the middle of dining area. Haha...great spot and we had the golf course view. I love golf course view and makes me relaxed, comfy. As lunch menus, they are more burger and sandwich specialty restaurant w affordable prices, great quality, and good ambiance as a bonus. I am almost shocked about such low prices of wine, margarita, and foods. Most of restaurants have double prices for the wine and food. I got bacon bluecheese burger w half fries half onion rings, magarita, a glass of Merlot for the drink, my wife got tender chicken w fries, same Merlot. My 1st taste for margarita was not strong, very mild, wishing they put more tequila and give more flavors. It took lots of time until we got the foods. But we were o.k. talking and looking at the Green thru the window. For my burger, loved the brioche bun w chargrilled patty w lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, grilled onions, and blue cheese crumble. Wow!!! Tasty like real fancy burger. Fries and onion rings both were so good. For my wife's tender chicken, first huge portion of 4 tender chicken strip. Super crunchy!!! She loved the tender white chicken meats. Overall, the lunch service is little slow due to the many customers but the price, portion, ambiance are great. I want to come again for the weekend brunch. They open at 7 in the morning. Pros Parking: 4 stars, enough Ambiance: 5 stars, so comfy, great view Price: so Cheap for the wine, even foods $13 Quality: 5 stars Service: 4 stars, slow during lunch time You need some patience.... Cons No Tacos....they have nacho, quesadilla, and tostada. I wish they have street tacos on the menu. Great place for the elders, birthday, some events.”

“This year has been spent at numerous convention centers across California. I'd say the Long Beach Convention Center is a solid 4 star. Definitely not my favorite, but a solid spot. The orientation and shape of the convention center doesn't feel the most spacious or comfortable and noise from breakout rooms carries into other spaces. But the pros are that the location is convenient with lots of restaurants close by. Post-conference happy hours can easily be housed at the nearby hotels making it a short walk to the fun!”

“It was a really fun experience, and we would definitely do it again. At the middle of the experience the sound and the whole video game started to cut off, and we had to remove our equipment and get out of the room to ask for help. The staff was able to help us and continue with the experience, but it did take some time to reset the game and put on the equipment again. Other than that, everything was great.”

“Great theater with a great sense of community! I saw Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein here last night and it was a great movie going experience! Highly recommend.”

“I never expected to find such a cool historic site in Compton. The adobe building dates back to the 1800s and gives a glimpse into early California ranch life. The docents were knowledgeable and really brought the history to life. It’s small but charming, with beautiful old furniture and grounds. A real hidden gem for history buffs”

“First time visit during 2024 Kwanzaa celebration. WOW! Who knew Long Beach had such an engaging dynamic art scene of Black artists! Painters, crafters, all had their works on display. Given the diversity of Long Beach there may also be displays of art from other Melanated people, and others, too. That night I was focused on the Black artists. Still, the variety of artists and art mediums was impressive. Once again, a treasure. A rare gem in Long Beach. It reminds me of the William Grant Still Arts Center in LA. Worth the 30 minutes drive from LA. When you go, buy something. Enhance your home with original art. Support local artists!”

“Don't stay here expecting modern amenities. Do stay here if you want a glimpse of the past. We stayed in one of the Family Suites with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Room was clean and comfortable, but walls are thin. You will definitely hear your neighbors so bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper. Exploring the ship was amazing. By staying at the hotel on the ship you can basically explore 24 hours a day if you're so inclined. My only negative is that vegetarian/vegan food choices among the various dining options are very limited.”

“This center,was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, WONDERFUL for our wedding anniversary reception!! If I can do this again! 100%i would every 5 years!! Food, catering is "Superior"?????????”

“Thank you so much for helping me pull off Edgar’s surprise birthday! Everyone was so kind and accommodating. This place made the moment so speciall highly recommend!”

“I'm in love with this aquarium!! It's such a cool experience where I get to just have fun. It's really nice to just relax and chill out with friends or family. I love seeing all the different animals and I swear I learn something new every time I go!! It's usually around $50 per ticket which is pricey for me so I don't go too often but when I do I feel like it's totally worth it. I've only ever gone to the aquarium but I'm looking forward to checking out the whale watching one of these days! I feel like there's a whole bunch to look at and it tends to look really fancy to me. I highly recommend checking it out once! The employees are kind and there's a couple that seem super into showing all the cool things these animals can do which is great! I love learning from someone who is passionate about their job!”

“Clean facility and rooms. Friendly staff. Free breakfast. Indoor pool. Good sized rooms. A great place for business, solo, or family travel. A great value. I'd like an onsite bar and restaurant, but this is not that kind of hotel. I highly recommend this place...”

“This experience was so fun & therapeutic! My brother treated our family to a session and we had a blast…we all loved our time here! The owners were so helpful, knowledgeable and coached us every step of the way. We got to take home one of a kind scarves! An experience to remember forever ❤️”

“Knottscary Farms, was a blast!
Took my 10 1/2 yr old last night,per her request, and had a scream of a time. My voice won't recover for another week. Loved it so much. We also went to the boo-fet dinner meet and greet. Food was all amazing. Monsters meeting was good to do before hand took some of the edge off.(At least for this old lady, who was terrified!) I highly recommend doing this.
Great job done by all the monsters.”

“Hosted three events in this space and it's my top pick for an elegant space with plenty of free parking and professional staff. I'd double the amount of stars if it were possible for this rating!”
