Pretty steep but it's a short walk. - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - Book your visit online! There are group rates and additional attendee rates, so just make sure you have the right count of people! Staff was very friendly from start to finish, and I loved seeing the enthusiasm shine through their work. It's not a huge site, so not a ton of walking involved, but there are some steps if you're worried about accessibility. Make sure to wear closed toed shoes! - EXPERIENCE - We booked a Wallaby encounter, and initially I thought it was only going to be a single animal experience but I was pleasantly surprised we were taken on a tour around the area! We did get to feed and pet the Wallaby, but we also walked to see all the different animals in captivity. They also brought out some animals for us to pet and see up close! - OVERALL - A wonderful wildlife preservation site, and amazing staff to take care of them all!

We had a small hiccup with the ac but he was immediately there to fix it. The place felt very magical especially at night. Everything was clean and the animals area were spotless as well. The property is massive giving it a private feeling. I highly highly recommend the whole experience and will be booking in the future!

This company, without a doubt, made our birthday parties simply fantastic! They are responsive, friendly, and truly knowledgeable. This isn't a petting zoo type of business. This is a company that truly cares about their animals and educating everyone about them while still providing an entertaining and kid-friendly program. Our first party was bug themed and they brought all of their creepy crawlies, as well as a bug eater. The second party was a Wild Kratts theme and they graciously customized a party for us. All of the guests, old and young, raved about them. They helped instill a love of animals in my oldest son and we are now the proud owners of a tarantula and hissing cockroaches as a result. I can't say anything even remotely negative about them! I highly recommend them for your next party!

Hire them and have a party people will speak glowingly about for years.

I already win, because I love magic. :p I'm not going to give away the different aspects of the show and the magic involved, because it's way more fun to be surprised by everything. But there was something for everyone. He made sure the audience were involved in every trick (illusion? I always think of Arrested Development at times like this) and the children were delighted every time they were called to the stage or asked to contribute. For the adults, there was the added bonus of genuine comedy and good humor. Not too long, so the kids didn't get squirmy and restless, even in the blazing heat. Not too alarming, so it was obvious he had considered the young age of the audience members and tailored the show to fit their age group while not making it childish. And on that note, I think the mark of a really good entertainer is that ability to go beyond the standard step by step of an act, and ensure that they deliver an experience that feels personalized. And afterwards - balloon animals all round! The children had a blast, the adults likewise. My friend was delighted with her decision to have Just 4 Kidz be a part of her daughter's special day, and the rest of us were delighted with the results. It's a definite thumbs up if you're searching for something fun and original, with that professional edge that promises an event nobody will soon forget.

My 11-year-old son attended Rawhide Ranch for a one-week summer camp. As part of the camp's policy,…read morechildren do not have access to electronics or direct communication with parents during their stay. Prior to camp, we arranged a simple system where he could signal me through a snack purchase if he needed help. Early on the third day, he used that signal. I called the camp and did not receive a response. After approximately eight hours, I called again and requested to speak with the camp director, I was eventually connected with the camp director, who indicated there had been an issue earlier that day involving my son and wrong medication being given. After insisting, I was allowed to speak with my son. He was clearly distressed and informed me that he had been given the wrong medication that morning. Instead of his usual over-the-counter allergy medication, he was given a high-dose antidepressant not prescribed to him and not intended for a child his age. According to the information provided to me, staff at the health office realized the error and attempted to have him self induce vomiting with a spoon, (he was instructed to stick the spoon down his throat), which was unsuccessful. They then contacted poison control for guidance. At no point during this process was I notified. After speaking with my son, I decided to pick him up immediately. When I arrived, I found communication from staff to be limited, and I was unable to get clear or detailed information about the incident despite asking direct questions. I requested to speak with the camp director, who eventually met with me. During that interaction, I found his demeanor to be notably nonchalant given the circumstances. The situation--a child being given the wrong medication and the parent not being notified--was presented in a way that did not reflect the level of concern I would have expected. When I attempted to ask for clarification and express concern about what had happened, the conversation became extremely tense. There was a clear difference in how seriously the situation was being viewed, and the discussion escalated into a heated verbal exchange. Given the lack of clear communication and the response to what I consider a serious safety issue, I made the decision to withdraw my son from the camp that same night. Following the incident, I contacted the camp multiple times. I was initially told that a refund would not be provided, though I was offered a credit for a future summer. After further communication, I did receive a refund. I also attempted to reach out to members of the organization's leadership to share concerns about the incident. This experience was extremely concerning, particularly given the seriousness of a medication error involving a child and the lack of timely parent notification.
