In the way of tribute bands, the show is always a bit more special if it's an act that you can no longer see. When it comes to taking on a timeless catalog, you can't do it better than the Fab Four. Setting the standard for not just tribute acts but for musicians everywhere looking to re-create the song of the Beatles, the Fab Four is a tried and true replication of the original. Running the gamut from the Beatle-Mania era to Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club to Rubber Soul and the White Album, The Fab Four pay homage to the Beatles in both sight and sound. Tending to every detail of the performance the band not only looks and sounds the part but they even go so far as to use a lot of the same vintage gear that would've been seen on stage at a Beatles show. Whenever The Fab Four plays the Grove in Anaheim, each performance is nothing short of memorable. Grab a ticket and find out why the band makes it's way back every year.

Bringing to the life the world of Michelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo, and Rafael, the Discover Cube of Santa Ana has transformed the legacy of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles into a educational vehicle. Creating four different components within the same exhibit, kids (and adults) can explore the ninja dojo, the Streets of ew York City, the Turtles' commons and Donatello's Laboratory, all of which boast interactive applications of math, science, and problem solving scenarios. Designed to encourage kids to flex a bit of brain power in addition to some healthy physical activity, guests can take on the role of the masked crime fighters for the afternoon. The only thing missing is the pizza.

Visitors and enthusiasts alike will get the chance to follow the winding tracks and admire the intricacies of a hobby that for many is true passion. It's pretty tough to check out model trains and be upset. Here is your chance to get into the spirit a bit early.
