We went with a couple of other families. Everyone had a great time. Absolutely recommend going if you've never gone. It's a long day if you go right when they open. We went around 6:30, which I think is perfect especially if it's hot. The airshow goes off early, but we caught it from Costco's parking lot. Really festive and happy atmosphere. Kids everywhere. Lots of room so you don't feel too crowded and even the grass area to watch the fireworks has plenty of space. Only downside for me was the food truck lines. Some were really long especially the Lime, Burnt and TJ Pizza truck. Portapottys get pretty nasty, but that's to be expected. U2 cover band was actually quite good and entertaining. Highlight is the firworks show. At least as good as the Irvine High 4th of July fireworks show, most people thought it was better. Leaving the park wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. All around really fun event and the price is perfect.
