We had such a great time at Lemos Farm! It's one of those places where kids are instantly happy and…read morebusy, and parents can actually relax a little (rare combo, honestly). There's plenty to do -- pony rides, train rides, animals, play areas -- and everything is well organized and feels safe. What I really appreciated is that it's not overwhelming or chaotic like some bigger places. The staff were friendly, patient with the kids, and everything ran smoothly. It felt like a genuine, wholesome experience rather than a tourist trap. Perfect spot for a family day, especially with younger kids. We'll definitely be coming back!

IMHO I've always…read morewanted to see what was inside Lemos Farms. One can't miss seeing the Lemos horse that is always decorated for seasonal events and holidays, when driving down Hwy. 92. It appears that there is only one in-and-out entrance to the farm, which could prove to be a challenge especially during the Halloween event. Somehow, we made it in and found parking in their lot. What surprised me was the admission price to enter the properties' activities. For an adult, the price is $17. You can buy gold and silver passes which offer more activities. The kind lady at the ticket booth explained that the ticket covers your basic rides, which in hindsight seems like a good idea. I've been to another pumpkin patch in Morgan Hill that doesn't charge admission but does for its rides, but you get to choose your activity. I've probably spent the same amount as what Lemos is asking. However, we chose not to stay and left. At the time we arrived, it was very crowded and I'm sure lines for the rides would be long as well. We just wanted to take pictures of the Halloween and pumpkin decorations, and paying $17 each to do that wasn't going to happen. I'm sure it was lovely, but I won't really know.

No discounts for going but they do have some pop-up/ food truck type places here. This is on the outside in front of the entrance. Admission was a little expensive in my opinion. I think it was $29 and it was 5pm-8pm. It was a cool experience with the IlluminOdyssey and fun activities they had. It was raining off and on the First Friday of January. The kids weren't able to play in the playground because it was wet and it was kind of hard to see the animals because they were hiding. I think it would be best to go here when daylight savings time begins so it's bright outside still. I would definitely recommend going here at least once.

We had a small-ish group of kids ranging from 2 to 5 years old and hosted it at our home. We originally wanted to host it in our yard, but the weather gods decided to send gusty winds and cloudy skies our way that day, so we relocated it inside. Bunny Gurus, Ahmed and Yusuf, were awesome. They were able to set up quickly and let us know the most suitable, stress-free options for the bunnies. The kids had sooo much fun! I will say that there was a bit of mess after the event, so be prepared if you plan to host indoors. The space we had were along some couches and there was still wood chips and bunny poops. BUT honestly, it was totally worth it and nothing a vacuum and mop couldn't pick up. Booking was easy - just submitted an inquiry online to get prices and availability. The bunnies were great - though way bigger than I originally thought they'd be! Very sweet and soft and even though the party was for the kids, I felt calmer and happier to have held the therapy bunnies for a few minutes too! Definitely recommend!

We were especially impressed by how much attention Julian pays to safety. He separates the animals while our toddler was petting ducks.

Terry made booking a snap, and followed up with confirmations, details on what to expect day of, etc etc. On the day of the event, her team Frank & Eduardo were early, communicative and just lovely to work with. The set up is a cut above, with sunflowers and little touches layered in throughout. It's not easy to wrangle the animals, a bunch of 3 year olds and eager onlookers passing through the park. Frank & Eduardo did it all with grace and ease. And last but certainly not least, you can tell these animals are very well loved and well taken care of. Which makes it all work. Terry & Team, thank you for making my daughter's 3rd birthday an event she will NEVER forget!

We stayed in touch over the next several weeks before settling on an August date. We braved the high temps and winding roads to arrive at the ranch. It's a beautiful space on a hillside and you can see the herd and their guardian llama as you pull into the parking lot. We learned a lot about the alpaca life cycle, fed the boys, and my daughter got to hold and carry a cria. We bought two cute alpaca shaped soaps. I didn't experience any of the negativity others have complained about. It is a working ranch so it's not a petting zoo or a tourist attraction. Go with the flow and you'll have a great experience.

Just like most of outer sunset, you can expect many cold and cloudy days. They are open 10am-5pm, year round. We came recently on a cloudy and rainy day and it was not crowded at all. I don't know if it was the rain, but most of the animals were pretty active that day, which was pretty cool. Watching the giraffes eating when we first got there was pretty nice. Our favorite exhibit was the penguin exhibit on penguin island, especially because we came for the penguin feeding. It was so cute watching the penguins eating their fish, hiding in their island dome, and swimming around the island. Another favorite were the black bears because they were very active, running around their enclosure, going swimming, climbing the walls, and playing with each other. The aviaries, insect zoo, flamingos, lions, and kangaroos were nice to see also. The SF Zoo is a pretty good size so you'll need a map and you'll get plenty of steps in if you walk all of it. We had a good time, even though some areas were closed and some animals weren't home.

Upon entry, look to your right and you immediately feel like you are on a safari in Zimbabwe. Simply stunning. 2 stars for the virtual pod station because the girl working was snarky. She was of Asian descent if anyone cares to look at schedule on Wed. Around 4 pm. ($9 extra to ride). Absolutely needs to be moved to a non hospitality position. Everything is from your phone. download, enter all (and I mean all) info and cc to pay for tickets. No other options available. Bye bye are the days of paying with a human being. And she was of no help... with her attitude. Ugh. My grandude did love the 7 minute virtual Whale movie. There are 4 choices to choose from. The one thing I want to mention is how deeply sad I felt for the larger animals. Silverback gorilla, bears, rhino, lions, etc. all seemed deeply sad and just sat there looking bored :( especially those like the big bird from Australia that was alone... made my heart sink. I know that a lot of animals are rescued.. but at this point.. I think they might be better off living their best life in their natural habitat. The giraffes & penguins seemed happy...but that was about it. I'm being serious. The wolves just going around on their small trail doing nothing... they need to hunt!! The play area was epic. The carousel was nice but again... bored attitude-y employee. $4 extra. bathrooms too far & in between. Nothing new there. About 3-4 exhibits had nothing. I'm so glad we went on a Wednesday... it wasn't busy at all. Parking $13... not too bad. Most of the car chargers were broken. 2 out of maybe 10 were working according to security. need to get those fixed. But the good news... close parking for EV's. But very limited. You definitely need to do this trip. take snacks and water... they don't check your bags. Have fun!

If you're looking for a peaceful coastal escape, Fitzgerald Marine Reserve is such a hidden gem…read more The tide pools here are the biggest we've ever explored--so much to see and wander through (definitely best when the tides are low!). We even spotted a baby seal, which made the whole experience feel extra special. The beach itself is calm, quiet, and beautifully blue--perfect if you're trying to avoid crowded, touristy spots. I personally skipped swimming since there's a lot of visible coral/rocky areas, but honestly, this place is more about exploring than swimming anyway. Just a heads up: there's about a 10-minute walk from the parking lot, but it's totally worth it. Overall, such a cute, peaceful place to spend a day by the ocean.

On a sunny day,…read morethe trees will provide you cool shade but the sunlight will filter in and bathe everything in the most gorgeous light. We brought the kids tidepooling here and they loved it. Check ahead for what time low tide will be so you can plan accordingly. The main entrance to the beach from the visitor center is closed but you can walk 10 minutes over to the Seal Cove staircase and go down to the beach and rocks from there. Bring rainboots or shoes with good grip as the rocks are slippery. You'll see plenty of anemones and hermit crabs and will spot a couple of small fish darting by. If you're lucky, you'll even see a starfish! After being on the rocks for a bit, you can relax on the beach before heading back. Parking is a bit limited - there is a private lot but it fills up quickly but it shouldn't be too difficult to find street parking in the surrounding neighborhood.
