Or are just in the area. Ive had to apologize a few times because my son is autistic and is taking his time following basic playground rules and manners (he's getting there!) and every parent so far have been very understanding. Im sure I'll meet a Karen some day but so far everyone has been great.

One thing we noticed, though, was that no employees were walking around to check on things. It would make a big difference if staff did regular rounds every 15-20 minutes to keep everything clean and in order. Also, this place seems better suited for younger kids--probably not ideal for teenagers. The music choice could be more kid-appropriate as well. With a bit more supervision and attention to those details, this could be a really great spot."

There's so much to explore, and every room has something different that keeps it exciting. The science experiments were really cool and engaging, making it a great place for kids to learn while having fun. The whole house is designed in such a creative way that it feels like you're stepping into a playful, imaginative world. They also have a small gift shop at the end where you can pick up souvenirs. It's nothing fancy, mostly typical trinkets and gadgets, but it's a nice touch to wrap up the experience. Overall, such a fun place for families and kids. Definitely a 5-star experience and something I'd recommend if you're in the area!

To know especially that these are rescued animals and are being taken care of so carefully, giving us the privilege of being able to give them our love as well, it was a heartwarming experience. Plenty of free parking available right infront of the sanctuary. There is a cute little shop attached to the sanctuary, where you can buy their handmade truffle chocolates which are so delicious (coming from someone who isn't a fan of truffle chocolates), fresh farm eggs, honey, and other delicacies. With your zoo "ticket" you get 2 free samples of their chocolates and a hefty bag of feed for the animals. The animals are mostly in their own pens, with some together. There's even a couple of the pigs you'll find out of pens, just hanging out on the property, laying beside the building. You're able to go into the tortoise pen and feed/pet him as well, 2 people at a time inside the pen, as he does get anxious. You're not able to feed all of the animals, but for the most part you can. Each pen has a sign for which animals are ok to feed/pet and which are not. They are very calm and friendly, as long as you are too. They take the feed very gently and don't bite your fingers. On the weekends they offer pizza made fresh for the visitors, and have plenty of covered outdoor seating options to enjoy. They also offer wine tasting, but we did not partake, as we had just left a winery, but I'm sure it is quite enjoyable as well. Definitely a must stop if you're in the area and it's a 5 minute drive from the wineries!

It's probably better in the fall/winter since there's no shade and the sun was hot. Most of the cages didn't have names or descriptions on the animal's story, which would've helped improve the experience. We couldn't see the tortoise since he was in his house and no one was around to let us in the pen. The chocolate truffles are great; we bought some of those.

Went to Portals to play mini-golf for a family birthday. Three of us between the ages of 52 and 79…read moreplayed and had so much fun! PIRATES AND DINOSAURS MINI-GOLF We paid for the two 9-hole courses (pirates and dinosaurs themes). You simply retrieve another ball at the counter between plays as you lose your ball down the last hole. We thought the pirate course was the better of the two, having some animated screens and was also less busy the day we went. Both courses are indoor and glow-in-the-dark. VISUALLY STUNNING, SLIGHTLY UNINTERESTING HOLES Visually, this is one of the better mini-golf courses we've done, especially because it's neon glow-in-the-dark, although the actual holes were slightly straightforward. Many of them just had concrete obstacles in the way in different formations. Still worth doing though, especially if you're mini-golf fans like us. NOT JUST MINI-GOLF The restrooms were in the back. They have two party rooms that were both busy the day we went. There are arcade machines and laser tag and food and drink available at 'Portal 19' (21+) PRICING The price for 2 mini-golf courses was $17 each. (Spring 2026) PARKING Plenty of free parking out front. A fun place to go for children and adults of all ages! Helpful?

We came mainly for the splash pad and were disappointed to find out it is closed indefinitely. After speaking with other people at the park, we were told the City of Temecula does not currently have plans to reopen it. This information definitely needs to be updated online so families know before making the trip. Aside from that, the playground itself is very clean and has a nice rubberized surface for the kids. There is a massive toddler playground with its own separate swing set, along with a larger playground for older kids. It is honestly a nice park, and the closed splash pad is the only reason I am giving it three stars.
