Amazing experience with Zovargo for my daughter's birthday this past weekend! Communication for…read morebooking and pre-event confirmation was amazing and the staff was great with the kids, and put on a great program for our event. We booked the larger party option for 16-35 kids and when the date was approaching and we thought we may end up with a few more than expected, they were flexible and communicative about our options. Come game time, it turned out we didn't exceed the limit so the team remained flexible and delivered the original plan with ease. Set up and break down was insanely fast. They kept the birthday girl completely engaged and loving every minute of the program. They made her feel like the star of the show while keeping her guests engaged as well. When some kids got a little squirrely, they were gracious and patient and kept the program rolling. We throughly enjoyed the fun, different element that Zovargo brought to our party. We highly recommend!

Oma's Family Farm is such a special little gem. Everything feels thoughtfully put together, from…read morethe animals to the open space, and it's such a fun, wholesome experience for kids and parents alike. You can really tell how much care goes into maintaining the farm and creating a welcoming environment. My little one had the best time exploring and interacting with everything. It's one of those places that feels both relaxing and engaging, which is hard to find. I do wish the playground areas were open daily because they're such a highlight and would make it even more of a go-to spot during the week. Overall, we absolutely loved it and can't wait to come back

From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the owner, Elizabeth, who was incredibly kind and inviting. The tour was well organized and never felt rushed.

The animals are exceptionally well cared for (which is so important to us) and are wonderfully social and curious. The entire experience was relaxed, thoughtful, and absolutely delightful. We had such a fantastic day! The farm store is adorable, and the jam is amazing. Highly recommend visiting this special place!

Our special needs son, age 6, loves animals. We found this sanctuary online when looking for places…read moreto take him to. It quickly became our favorite place, we visit once a week. Every time we drive through those gates, it feels like stepping into a different rhythm -- slower, softer, and full of heart. There's a calm that settles over me the moment I arrive, like all the noise of everyday life fades into the background. For a few precious hours, time seems to stand still. We spend our visits surrounded by the most amazing animals, each with their own story and personality. The people who care for them are just as special -- kind, genuine, and truly devoted to every creature on the farm. They always greet us by name, take time to chat, and make our son feel like part of their family. He loves to feed the sheep, who are so patient and gentle with him. I love learning each animal's name and backstory -- it makes every visit feel personal and deeply grounding. If you ever feel weighed down by the world, this is the place to go. It's impossible to leave without feeling lighter, calmer, and a little more connected to what really matters. And as a bonus -- they grow the most delicious fruits and vegetables right there on the farm, fresh from the earth that gives this place so much life. If you are looking for a special place to take your family, I highly recommend it!

This is the most special place I have ever been to, I've never been more happy. If you love animals…read moreyou have to check this place out! First off it's huge and you are allowed to feed and pet ALL of the animals! They have so much to see! Cows, pigs, camels, and even a zebra!! I never thought in my life I'd pet a zebra, this experience is just incredible! They even have turkeys and peacocks that roam and even came up to us for some food! All of the animals were super friendly and adorable. We even saw the smallest mini horse ever that was so cute. There are also cats that roam the property and one of them followed us throughout the whole place. Can you ask for a cuter tour guide?! They also grow their own produce and sell eggs. We picked and cut our own pumpkins and left with some duck eggs as well! Overall this was just the most fun experience I've ever had. I regret not purchasing the membership because ever since I left I keep thinking about how bad I want to come back! This is definitely a hidden gem and a fantastic experience.

SoCal Mini Pigs is not just a petting zoo. It's a special place where visitors can interact with…read moremini pigs, from petting to feeding and even adopting. Visits are by appointment only, so my husband and I booked a session on Valentine's Day. This was hands down the best animal experience we've had, thanks to the amazing staff and adorable animals. The animals were friendly, engaging, and active, which is a testament to how happy and well cared for they are. Each party is given a complimentary bucket of lettuce to feed the animals, with more available for purchase. We got to pet and feed not only mini pigs, but also goats, ducks, chickens, and even a large, handsome turkey. And because it was Valentine's Day, the staff passed around glasses of sparkling wine for guests, which was an extra special touch. The setting is tucked away in a mountainous area, making it feel like a hidden gem off the beaten path. It was the perfect stop on our way to San Diego. We're definitely looking forward to returning again next time!

However the girls that run the little store when I am there are not friendly nor do they generally have answers for questions. I've tried to have a conversation with them but they are inconvenienced by my existence. Half the stuff is miss marked and some don't have ingredients. They ring up the wrong items and when you point out they rang up the wrong item or the item has a sticker with a lower price they are put out by having to correct the wrong item and wont even correct the price. Overall I will be looking for a closer person with eggs without corn because after several visits 1/ever 2-3 months I'm over being treated the way the girls treat me.

I wouldn't hesitate to use them again for a future party. Price, value, selection- nobody even comes close!

I love visiting this place and try to make a visit every year. I have been several times at this…read morepoint and I always have so much fun! For starters, it is a great place to bring people of all ages (as long as they aren't afraid of birds). You get to feed the birds, talk to them, dance with them, take photos with them, and feed the koi fish in the koi pond! I have always made my reservation online the night before I wanted to go and had no issues booking. I do recommend going earlier in the day when it is a little less busy and the birds are hungry! I believe the fee has gone up the last couple years but right now it is sitting at $10 per person which is still not very expensive at all in my opinion. You can also stay as long as you'd like. The volunteers are very kind and welcoming and are very knowledgeable about the birds. It is great to speak with them to learn more. Pro tip- I do feel that the sanctuary can get a little windy and cold so make sure to bring a light jacket and some water just in case!

We stopped by later in the afternoon as a spur of the moment thing, so some of the birds were already ready to head in and there were fewer out.

There are still plenty of birds to see, which is sad in a way, but it also shows why a place like this matters.
