It feels much more spacious and creative than other DIY spots we've visited. We've since gone back for camps and casual weekend visits, and she always finds something new she wants to make. The custom comic book and stuffie stations are especially fun and unique. The staff has also been consistently kind, patient, and helpful every time we've been there. Such a fun place for creative kids.

A farm was set up along the way up to a trail sign where's to divide into two directions. Left is hidden villa trail, right is bunny something trail. We went for the left. It was a narrow, sloped and uneven trail, right next to a creek. The scenary was tranquil. Be careful of midsized rocks and tree roots stuck out on ground for their ankle-spraining hazards, and the sharp-edged hanging branch on tree. (My son bumped his head, causing swelling, thank God no bleeding!) Some area shady some not, bring a sun hat. Wear long sleeved clothing as there're mysterious outgrown weed bushes that might irritate your skin. Parts of ground were covered by leaves, it was easy to walk on providing landing cushion and traction. There's an archery site next to parking lot. Already signed up for my next adventure.

DEFINITELY, go to their website to read the rules, how to get there, hours and other information. I…read morethink the GPS led us to the residential area parking and there's no parking there for the public so my boyfriend left me there and I thought he meant that I should just go there myself and there is NO signal here so I had no idea where he was at for over an hour and he was so close to calling the city to report a lost child lol. We went in the mid morning and it's a fairly bright, well lit path there that's not too far or difficult and there were lots of other hikers and travelers so at no point did I feel like something bad was going to happen. The farm is also true to its name because I did get to see a momma deer and her baby right at the entrance of the farm near the barn picnic table area. Neat! It's a great place to see animals too since aside from the deer and farm animals I saw a quail and its chicks, as well as lots of ground squirrels. The chicken are in a coop and pen but some hop out and walk around the farm. Love to see the pigs, sheep, goats, cow, bunnies, ducks and geese too. Would love to one day see the farm cats. There's lots of informative signs and flyers throughout the farm of all reading levels and how much information are on them, and there's small interactive parts too and you learn about the work that goes into working on a farm and what these animals provide for people. The docents and volunteers are also very helpful and are happy to answer questions. Lots of benches and seats in the shade too so you can sit back and take in the scenery and the animals hanging out. You can see the little gardens that they have there and I guess on some days some of the other buildings are open too. I don't mind coming back, but this time, I won't make that same entrance mistake again.

The walk is about 20-25 minutes but it's worth it! The farm is FREE of charge, & they have quite a few variety of animals & sights to see. They close at 4PM, so make sure you go fairly earlier. We got there around 2 on Saturday & still found parking to walk over there. They are also always looking for volunteers so if you know anybody, send em there!

There isn't much fun stuff to do in Palo Alto if you're a tiny tot, but this place seemed like it was created for the little ones! Would highly rec if you are in Palo Alto for a day and want to bring your young child somewhere. There are different parts to this - a museum, and also a mini zoo. The museum has all sorts of fun activities, similar to the Bay Area Discovery with building blocks, magnets, trains, cars, tops, etc. The mini zoo is also quite fun with a variety of animals, although not many. The quality of the animals was great, though. They had a feeding hour for the Flamingos when I was there, and although my toddler was not interested, it seemed like the staff stayed for the whole hour, and made sure that anyone who wanted to do it had a chance to do so. Other animals there included a free-roaming peacock! The only draw here is that it's a little small, compared to a real zoo, or a real museum such as the Bay Area Discovery Museum, or the California Academy of Sciences. That being said, the price for this museum was quite reasonable, at $14 per person over 1 year old. Even for the 1.5 hours I was there, I thought it was well worth it! Free parking too. If in the area, I'd definitely stop by again.

Clean bathrooms, nice shaded picnic area, and I like that there's locked gates for all the entrances. They have a variety of play options with lots of seating and shade.

We have visited two days in a row and there has been a small vendor selling ice-cream, chips etc which was a nice treat.

Very relaxing ride that takes about 10 minutes. All seats are uncovered so make sure to bring your hat or sunscreen. Right next to the train is an antique carousel, tickets are also $5 per person.
