Lawn area with shade- great to bring a blanket and relax
Patti F.

We've lived in this area for so long, but this past weekend we had our first visit to the Blackberry Farm pool. Reservations are currently required so make sure you reserve your spots online beforehand. There is ample parking and you check in at the booth before entering the pool area. You aren't allowed to bring your own inflatables, but you can check out floaties and life vests for free. You just need to leave your ID with them. There are 2 pools, and one is pretty shallow (3-3.5") and perfect for toddlers-preschoolers. They have a water slide but it's closed due to Covid (during summer 2022). I loved the big lawn area, where families laid out picnic blankets under the shade. There is a small cafe with a limited selection of food and snacks (e.g. curly fries, chicken strips, corn dogs). There are 3 outdoor showers and one has a detached shower head so it's convenient for kids. There's also an indoor shower and bathroom stalls as well. Bonus- there is a small playground just outside the pool area. It had lots of shade during the afternoon around 1pm. We really enjoyed this community pool and I would recommend it to other families!

What a great spot to connect with nature in the middle of busy Silicon Valley! I got a chance to connect with a ranger who was super friendly and helpful and gave me some pointers. I went on a small walk here and saw multiple deer and owls. There is a lot of greenery and a creek that runs through the park. There is a pool on site but is closed now for the cold season. There are multiple volleyball courts. The picnic area is huge and requires a reservation.

Very nice park for gatherings without any pretense of rides or distractions other than the swimming and picnicking. Very fun place!

We visited the tortoise ranch today with three first grade classes, and it was honestly my favorite…read morefield trip I've been on so far, and my son's favorite too! The kids and adults all learned so much about tortoises, and the whole experience was incredibly informative, hands-on, and just so cool. How often do you get to get up close and personal with giant tortoises like that?! The owners were so knowledgeable and kind to open up their home and space to all of us. You can tell how much they care about their animals and sharing what they know with kids. Such a fun and unique experience, and we can't wait to come back again with my youngest for his field trip!

We went on a field trip with a kindergarten class (ages 5-6). Everyone was really excited to visit…read moreand it felt like we had discovered a hidden gem at first. Unfortunately, the experience quickly changed due to the rude behavior from the owners. During our visit, the owner yelled at the children - YELLED. This video is just a small example of what happened. There were multiple instances where both the man and his wife raised their voices not only at the kids, but also at the parents. While the children still managed to have fun, the overall environment felt stressful and uncomfortable for many of us. We understand that managing large groups of young kids can be challenging, but the way the situation was handled made what should have been a positive field trip feel uneasy and disappointing.

My friend from Germany wanted to ride a horse while visiting the states, so I very last minute…read morecalled Garrod to see if they had any availability. I was easily able to book a private guided ride with just the two of us and an expert rider. Our guide was so nice and equipped us with everything we needed to have a safe, but fun trip. You can tell the horses are very well taken care of and loved by the staff at the stables. The tour itself had beautiful views overseeing Los Gatos. It was a reasonably priced experience and absolutely worth it!

I want to give this farm a 2.6/5 since the scenery was nice even though my trail ride got cut short…read moredue to the rain. The horses are on the older side for the trail rides, fyi. One of the horses, Elmo (20yo), does walk a little funny. I rode Ben who was a nice horse, snacked a lot, but overall a little silly horse. One of the guides told me to pull on the reins harder to get him to stop grazing, but I didnt know if he had a bit or not. I didn't want to hurt him. Elmo did try to bite Ben, but the guide brushed it off as horseplay. I didn't think it was since he kept trying to create distance between them. Upon mounting and adjusting the stirrups, I noticed that the saddle kept leaning to the left. I asked the guide if the saddle was okay and not ready to slide completely to the left, but she told me that it was just uneven ground. During the whole ride, I had to overexert my left leg to distribute my weight and not fall off. We stopped to double-check the stirrups halfway, but the guide only checked my right stirrup. I tried speaking up, but she ignored me. The guide's horse also got angry with another horse which a child was on. He looked about 10 years old and he seemed scared. The guide's horse did try to kick the other one. One of the ponies had a muzzle on due to biting. He did try to bite a teenage girl's leg. I couldn't tell if she worked there or not, but she seemed pretty young. A 7 year old was mounted on the pony and he did not like it. He kept reversing and shaking his head. The next day, I felt really sore in my left leg. I thought it was because of the bumpy ride, but the soreness kept getting worse. I couldn't (still can't) walk properly, lay down, or bear weight on it without being in pain. I talked to my friend who does dressage and she told me it was because of the left stirrup and saddle was set incorrectly. I wish there was an adult guide alongside the ones who looked about my age (17-18) because it would make others feel safe (especially ones with little kids) to know that there's another adult who has a lot of experience. I'm not saying that the teens are inexperienced, but based on what I've seen and been through... it seems like the best option.
