Nocturnal Wonderland

Okay but can we talk about the black light tunnel? We had so much fun throwing paint on each other and running through the tunnel hahaha Like a bunch of kids. Of course, we were not sober doing this and thought it was the greatest thing ever.So I noticed- it looks like there are two different Nocturnal Wonderland Yelp pages. I'm not sure which one is the official one. But I'm leaving a review on both pages just to be sure lol Lots of fun! A big party with fun, loving people. All about the lights and music. Good vibes and happiness all around. These rave events are just a blast.

Picture this ~You're nestled into the mountains and as the sun comes down you can watch the mist settle on top of them. Talk about beautiful...This venue is great but be prepared to walk a far distance from parking your car to the entrance and then walking some more from one stage to the next up & down the mountains. I really don't mind because you get a serious workout but you'll be exhausted once you factor in dancing your ass off as well.I remember telling myself that I would go nuts once a year at EDC but here I was a few months later. It was a lot more personal as the amount of visitors per night was around 22K vs EDC at around 135K. This creates a much better overall experience with so many less crazy people. When it comes to the acts themselves you actually get a little closer to them. The crowd is all over the place from your old school ravers to young kids, hippies, artists & musicians. Everyone is here to feel the music and get lost in the beauty of it all. As the cool breeze started to come in it felt pretty amazing when you find yourself in the middle of a large crowd going crazy. The visuals on the big screens are amazing and it's very artistic, especially when the wolves come out in the wolves den. This is the largest stage and goes the hardest. I found myself here most of the evening and am already itching to dance under the stars once again.

I can't believe this was the 20th Anniversary for Nocturnal Wonderland.And they did not disappoint!From Friday night at the Sunken Garden hosted by Basscon to Kaskade closing out on Sunday, there was so much to offer and not one beat missed.My highlights:*Dancing on Main Stage for Sander Van Doorn. I was 10 feet away from him with thousands of people in front of me. There are no words.*Getting DOWN with Flosstradamus! Probably one of my favorite sets that weekend.*Bringing back old school with SASHA. Make way-old time ravers ahead!*Catching the sunset on the beautiful grassy slopes of San Bernardino and gorgeous mountain background.*Making Kandi at the Kandi making station and trading them away*That moment when there's tens of thousands of people in the crowd...and your boyfriend finds you. (Love you Kyle H.!)Nocturnal consists of 5 stages: -Labyrinth: The Main one. The big Kablooey. Find all the biggest headliners and trance gods here-Queen's Ground: Also a big heavy-hitter stage. Bigger range of EDM styles, including Dubstep and Eletro-pop.-Sunken Garden: It was all Hardstyle on Friday (Basscon), and ended with all trance by Sunday night (AnjunaBeat).-Upside-Down Room: small side stage filled with house and funk!-Temple of Om: small side stage with a beautiful Buddha statue filled with more downtempo beats and grooves.I felt like Upside-Down Room and Temple of Om were so small and out of the way and was overshadowed by the bigger stages. Nonetheless, there was something for everyone and there was plenty of space to move and find a place to dance at any stage.20 years in the making. What a beautiful celebration at a beautiful location. If you feel burnt out by EDC, this is the one to go to!

Loved the decorations and lights. The large spiky orbs glowing luminescent orange were gorgeous strung along the trees. Once I parked my car in the dirt lot and passed by the people trying to jump the fence, and got through the line of scantily-clad girls and pat downs, it actually felt a little magical. The main stage even had not only fire, but a water display and fireworks.I wanted to get a beer but it was $16. I choose not to be one of the thousands of people here with double or triple digits in their checking account (My boyfriend and I looked at a few ATM receipts for fun - a balance of $120 was the most ballin).I'm personally not a huge fan of the drugs and everything associated with festivals like these, but I am an audiophile for electronic music and beats. It would have been cool if there were more rides, but all they had was the swings. Tip: Nocturnal also offers camping, but it looked awfully cramped with no solace of trees.

Friends and I went to Nocturnal Wonderland last night. So... We are a wee bit on the old side for this (40s), but if you enjoy this kind of music and dancing, this event is amazing at any age. Never felt out of place. We sprung the extra money for the VIP section (ok, we're old we can afford it lol), and it was well worth it. Tables, seats (!!!!), bathrooms without huge lines (!!!!), and a less crowded dance area. You don't really need to worry about reserving a table or chairs, stuff is available all night. The music was awesome. Just amazing. Lights and effects... so much fun. Loved. And we were able to see all the best and biggest DJs from the comfort of our VIP area. You can even get close to the stage without the crowds. We left a half hour before the end and had no trouble getting out of the venue (common complaint).Downside is, it is dusty. And dirty. And we all came home a bit hoarse (not from yelling) with noses filled with black stuff. That explains why some people were breathing through bandanas!

One of the better EDM events I've attended in 2015. Went to the 20th anniversary - all three days, solid lineup. Getting in/out of the area isn't too bad either. I've experienced much worse.Got a crap load of free candy here too. Pretty much ate that most of the time. Sour punch FTW!!!!!I only knocked out one star because of the layout/theme of the stages. Why the hell was the labyrinth main stage so much smaller than the queen of hearts stage...??? They probably should've switched the locations of the two.. the queen of hearts stage definitely had a bigger area. Also the staging lights could've been a lot better - especially for their 20th anniversary.Bathroom situation was good. There's indoor bathrooms at this amphitheater (it's a bit out of the way but I always found it to be worth it). Would like more of a variety in food booths/ trucks though.

Fun filled nights with wonderful people, great music and amazing lasers. Held at the NOS even center, there is plenty of room for people to roam around and explore the different tents holding a variety of well known djs. Tons of security walking around making sure everyone is safe, event staff happy to help you out to find a bathroom or a water station that provides free water. The place is sort of clean, there is people walking around sweeping the floors, bathrooms are porter pottys (not so clean but there is always a staff member ready to give you a new roll of toilet paper if needed). There is also tons of different characters walking around. We were able to see walking mushrooms and giant flamingos. This was our first year attending Noc and it was pretty darn hot!! But that didn't slow us down from enjoying a wonderful weekend.

This was my first time in a rave. They have Nice lighting, music and ambiance. I enjoyed the rave so much!

Don't bother with the Secure Ticket, you need to jump through too many hoops to get a return... you're much better off selling the ticket for a refund

Be careful so many people got their phones stolen. Other then that it was great other then the traffic
