The train ride is less than 10 minutes with no cover so we brought our hats. It's a quick ride and you pass by the parking lot and a park. My girls enjoyed it. After we played by the nearby park.

They were just starting the grill to cook the food for lunch but our girls were hungry so we left to get food elsewhere.

I've been to Vasona many times and seen the sign for YSI, though I finally ventured in today!…read more This place is somewhat of a hidden gem; while it offers a chance to learn more about endemic species in our area, it is also very small. For that reason, I would say it's great to come here but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. COST: $6 for parking, but no cost to enter! PARKING: there is a spacious lot right next to the entrance. AMBIANCE: clean, uplifting, and cozy. There are many educational toys and books, which complement the somewhat small selection of animals to see. Would come back, but would be best to combine this with a walk in Vasona or a trip to the Oak Meadow merry-go-round or train.

Reservations are not required and the establishment offers private parties/celebrations. This process from start to finish can be quick or prolonged, depending on how much time you have or what you want. There have been instances where the process took my child 15 mins and others where she would linger for 45 mins or so. The staff here is always friendly and they take time to listen to their little clients. On a few occasions, including yesterday's recent visit, Ms. Emma was the employee to assist and interacted with my toddler. I appreciate her creating conversations, being patient, and uplifting my child during the entire process. Slime creating is a bit costly but the fun and confidence my child has when she exits the establishment is well worth it.

We brought food and the parents kinda got kicked out of the main area which was great. We hung out in the mall and got to have some adult time (but were still close enough if the kids needed something).

Oak Meadow Park in Los Gatos, California, is an absolute treasure, and I can't recommend it…read moreenough--5 stars all the way! This 12-acre park is a haven for families, kids, and anyone looking to enjoy a delightful day outdoors. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the park's charm and the sheer variety of activities it offers. The playground is a standout feature, perfect for kids of all ages. It's packed with imaginative play structures, including a retired fire engine and airplane that my kids couldn't get enough of--they spent hours climbing and pretending to be pilots and firefighters. The swings, slides, and climbing structures are well-maintained, and the layout ensures there's something for both younger and older children. I also appreciated how clean and safe the area felt, with plenty of benches for parents to keep an eye on the little ones. What makes Oak Meadow Park truly special, though, is the Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad and the W.E. Bill Mason Carousel. The mini train ride, which winds through the park and into the adjacent Vasona Lake County Park, was a highlight for my family. At just $3 a ticket (and free for kids under 2), it's an affordable treat that brought smiles to everyone's faces. The carousel, with its vintage charm, was equally enchanting--my kids begged to ride it multiple times. Both are operated by volunteers who clearly love what they do, adding a warm, community feel to the experience. The park also boasts plenty of open grassy fields, perfect for a game of frisbee or soccer, and the creek-side walking paths are serene for a leisurely stroll. We packed a picnic and enjoyed one of the many tables available, though I'd recommend reserving a spot for larger groups since the picnic areas can get busy. The barbecue pits are a nice touch for family gatherings, and I noticed several birthday parties happening, with kids laughing and playing everywhere. The park's location next to Vasona Lake County Park is a bonus, giving you access to even more trails and activities without needing to drive. While there's a small parking fee ($6 for non-residents), you can park on the street for free and walk in, which we did without any hassle. The restrooms were clean, and the overall upkeep of the park was impressive--there's a real sense of pride in this community space. Oak Meadow Park is more than just a park; it's a place where memories are made. Whether you're a local or just visiting Los Gatos, this park is a must-see for a fun, family-friendly day out. I can't wait to return!

We sat closer to the bathrooms, so far enough away from the playground. If you're going to sit on the grass just be careful about not sitting in geese poop. They have several areas where they keep picnic tables. You might just want to bring a wet rag or something to clean off the space. If you're looking for entertainment for the kids, you can take a mini train ride throughout the park. On weekends they have the snack bar open. They sell candy, soda pop, hamburgers and hot dogs. Never had anything there but in case you came to the park and decided to stay a little longer, then there's food available. They keep the park relatively clean. Plenty of garbage cans so no littering. There's a beautiful creek that is close to the park.

We had the Bunny Gurus at our daughter's 9th birthday party and they exceeded our high expectations…read morein every way. Our guests ranged from age 3 to 45 including a large group of 8-9 year old boys/girls, teenage boys/girls, and parents, all of which loved every second of the experience and are still raving about it now. (almost a month later) First of all, communication and booking prior to the party was as easy as could be. We paid up front to reserve the time, and I followed up with many, MANY questions, all of which were answered quickly and thoroughly with patience and kindness. (This stood out to me as above and beyond since we had already paid.) Set up on the day of the event was also perfection, they arrived on time, checked out the space, and almost immediately had the pens and pop up tents set up... then it was time for the best part - the BUNNIES. Oh the variety of bunnies - small ones and big fluffy ones, and even one with bangs!!! They were all unique and adorable. The Bunny Gurus calmly and kindly explained to the children how to treat the bunnies with respect, and in turn the bunnies will choose to interact with them. Once in the pens, the kids fed and pet the bunnies with the hugest smiles on their faces. We could hear all of them talking about how much they loved the bunnies and how sweet and silly they were. When the kids exited the pens, the parents entered and were equally thrilled to feed, pet, and cuddle the rabbits. I've told many times since the event that they miss the bunnies and our go to phrase for "I'm stressed." has become "I could use a bunny snuggle today." This experience was truly magical - it is clear that the Bunny Gurus genuinely love and respect all of their bunnies. They are given the highest quality life, which encourages the bunnies to feel safe around humans. We were, and still are, grateful for the work they do and the chance to interact with the bunnies. The highlight of the day was when a Bunny Guru explained that the bunnies lay down when they are digesting, and they will only do this near you if they feel safe. Every child's face lit up when they looked around and saw a bunny "feeling safe" near them. If you're considering having The Bunny Gurus at your event, please do. You and all your guests are guaranteed to love the experience. They are professional, personable and take great pride in the work they do with the bunnies. In a world of rushing, stressing, and staring at screens,, slowing down and bonding with bunnies is such a special treat and beautiful reminder to enjoy the present.

We had the Bunny Gurus at a joint birthday party for two kids turning 6 and 7, and they were truly…read moreone of the highlights of the day! We had originally considered having a petting zoo, but after finding Bunny Gurus, we realized it was actually the better option for our party. Instead of a large setup with lots of different animals competing for attention, this gave the kids a more personal, hands-on experience with the bunnies. They were able to slow down, interact with them, and really enjoy the experience in a way that wouldn't have been possible with a traditional petting zoo. From the very beginning, the booking process was seamless. They responded quickly to my inquiry, answered all of my questions, and made everything incredibly easy. Their website clearly explained the different packages, and we chose the smaller package, which still included 10 adorable bunnies--more than enough for our party! The staff was absolutely wonderful with the children. They were patient, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the rabbits they care for. They shared fun facts about each bunny's personality and habits while encouraging the kids to gently interact with them, build trust, and bond with the animals. They made each child feel special by pointing out when a bunny seemed to like them, which really boosted the kids' confidence and made the experience even more meaningful. They brought everything needed for the setup, along with a huge variety of bunny-safe treats that kept the kids engaged throughout the event. The children loved getting to feed the rabbits, watch them do fun tricks with certain treats, and our birthday kids even got the opportunity to hold a bunny at the end! If you're looking for a unique, interactive, and memorable party experience, I can't recommend Bunny Gurus enough. It was such a special addition to our celebration, and both the kids and adults absolutely loved it!

The little toddlers were having a blast. They played in the ball pit, jumped on small bounce house, climbed everywhere, and went down the mini slide. You can hear their giggles and laughter across the room. As for the ballon drop, it was exactly what we inspired it to be. I would say one of the most affordable places compared to the other quotes around the area. Needless to say, it was a very popular photo area and added that extra touch we needed. The setup was about 90 minutes before the actual event time. Everything was beautiful. We will definitely use them again in the future.
