Maybe book this company for your next corporate event. Those things shouldn't have to be painful. These awful retreats where you are stuck with your boss and coworkers out in the woods without cell phone coverage. Trust falls and all sorts of other nonsense. Kids birthday parties - reminds me of a recreation of Mrs Doubfire.... now he knew how to have fun - you could recreate that scene from the movie. Rabbits and all sorts of other little friendly animals. One little guy stuffed his nose in the hay and got it all over his face - and one of the caretakers was quick to brush all that away and make him beautiful again. Every piece of fur perfectly in place. Little kids need this sort of experience. Too much cell phones, video games, TicTac. Don't let your kid turn into a zombie in front of the television - get some petting zoo action!!

This is a sad "pumpkin patch". Was a just a parking lot and you can walk the whole thing in 5 mins…read moreor less. We asked for a refund but the employee said they don't do refunds. The area had few activities and wasn't managed well, you literally just go in and go wherever and no one is monitoring the jumpy houses. Safety concerns. Our family ended up leaving and going to an actual pumpkin patch, Spina Farms. What a $70 waste of money for tickets, and they even tried charging for 6 month old baby. Highly don't recommend.

Wilderness Cubs is absolutely amazing--one of the best decisions we've made for our daughter!…read more Living in Marin, we regularly take her hiking, so I was initially hesitant to sign her up. But once we did, we couldn't be happier. Wilderness Cubs isn't just about hiking and running around outside--it's a fully immersive educational experience. Our daughter gets the opportunity to learn about reptiles, amphibians, farm animals, insects, local plant life, and so much more, all while exploring and having fun with her friends. The live animal presentations are incredible, and the amount of information she retains and excitedly shares with us at home makes us feel so lucky to have found this program before she starts elementary school. In addition to hikes and animal visits, the children create nature-themed art projects, read books related to the day's lesson, and learn to identify local birds, animals and plants around Phoenix Lake. I love that now when we go hiking she's is the one telling us and her little sister what type of plant or bird we are looking at. If you'd like your little one to stay longer, there's also a fantastic afterschool program available. Wilderness Cubs has been such a wonderful experience that we're already planning to sign up our younger daughter as soon as she turns three!

They spend their days hiking, learning about nature, interacting with animals, and do the cutest daily projects that are both educational, outdoorsy, and fun. Not to mention getting to hang out at one of the most beautiful trailheads in Marin. Teacher Lesley has created a fun, comfortable, and outdoorsy experience, and our son comes home covered in mud with the biggest smiles on his face every day. It's so fun to see how much our kiddos can learn and enjoy by just being in nature with the class!

There's so much to do, climbing, building, exploring, getting wiggles out, and even a quiet room to chill. You can tell the folks behind it really thought through everything. The vibe, the décor, even the website feel so neurodiverse-affirming. They have tech to help build community around members too. We live in Novato so the distance makes a membership tough right now, but I'm hoping we can join in the summer when school isn't in the way. I'd love to see Spirited Play Labs expand to more places as this is the future IMO (please come to Novato, I'll help!). For families like ours, where typical play spaces can feel stressful or isolating, this place is a true gem, welcoming, thoughtful, and hopeful for the future. Thank you!!!

Faster than your average merry go round and we loved it!…read more I was a bit confused regarding pricing but left it alone, we were there to have fun and it isn't pricey. They claim Thursday and Friday to be "family days" and chaperones ride free -- chaperones are for children 36" and under. However, children 2 and under do not require tickets. Therefore if my 2 year old is free and chaperones are free, I was confused why we had to purchase a ticket for my husband. We are a family of 4 -- I purchased 1 for me, 1 for my oldest, and assumed the 2 year old and chaperone would be free as advertised but we ended up paying for my husband and only my 2 year old rode for free so the chaperone riding for free on family day's is a bit deceiving. However, we all had a great time and would come back again. My oldest wanted to ride the spinning tea pot instead of the horses and I was a bit dizzy after lol, it doesn't seem to go that fast when empty (we watched the ride before we got on) but when you're inside of it, omg lol proceed with caution but it was a blast! I couldn't stop laughing. Definitely would add this to your list of places to go before summer ends! Add it to your day along with the steam trains and visit to the little farm less than 5 minutes away.
