They…read morehave an incredible variety of fish, coral, aquarium plants, decor, and supplies for both freshwater and saltwater tanks. No matter what you're looking for, chances are they'll have it. The staff is very knowledgeable about everything aquarium related and is always happy to answer questions or help you find what you need. The owner (Andrew) is truly a gem, and you can tell that he and his family put a lot of care into running the store. It's also a very family friendly place, and I'd definitely recommend bringing your kids to check it out. They have an amazing service team, and it really shows that everyone knows what they're doing. Every time my family and I visit, we're greeted with kindness, and they're always willing to help, offer advice, and show us around. You can really tell they care about their customers and have a genuine passion for the aquarium hobby. I always enjoy coming here and would highly recommend it to anyone, whether you're just getting started or you've been in the hobby for years.

He deserved to live out the rest of his long life in a place where he can stretch his fins, and Aquarium Connection is exactly that place. The tanks are immaculately clean, the owner and staff are enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and you can just tell that they genuinely care about their fishy friends. They accepted our pleco with open arms, gave us tips about how to catch and transport him, and overall made us feel so much better about surrendering Fred because we know for certain he's somewhere where he will be well loved and very well taken care of.

We were looking for a smaller, more manageable zoo to take our little one and came across The…read moreTeaching Zoo at Moorpark College on Yelp--so glad we did! This place is such a hidden gem. It's very affordable with easy parking, which made the whole visit stress-free from the start. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by friendly and helpful staff who let us know about an upcoming animal performance so we could plan our time around it--such a nice touch. The zoo itself is the perfect size for younger kids. They had a great variety of animals including tigers, a lion, several types of birds, and monkeys. The staff throughout the zoo were informative and approachable, making the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, a fun, easy outing that's perfect for little ones. We'll definitely be back!

THIS IS NOT YOUR TRADITIONAL ZOO! If you come here hoping for a vast institution with a lot of…read moreanimals, you will be disappointed but with that being said, I personally really enjoyed my time here. This zoo is so that college students who are studying animal related programs can gain experience meaning they don't have all the animals you see at typical zoos but there were still some really cool ones! And because students are learning they have animals roaming around with them so you could potentially see a beaver or a hawk up close and in demonstration. I honestly think I preferred it here as it was slow paced and not very crowded. I don't believe they had any food here so bring snacks and their gift shop was closed. I don't know if that was only on the day we went or indefinitely. There's plenty of parking - I know it says "permit only" but I think that applies to weekdays only when classes are in session.

I grew up coming to this place on weekends and in the summer. It's a great way to kill a few hours…read moreand a lot of fun for kids. They have a decent variety of stuff for kids of all ages. The maze and shadow room are fun for big and little kids. The dress up clothes were great fun for them as well. Lots for them to do when they finish painting, while they wait for their painted creations to dry. They don't fire the creations in a kiln or anything, but the plus side is, the plaster pieces are cheaper, and you get to take it home the same day, unlike other places where you have to pick it up a week later. We came in on a weekday summer morning at opening, so we were the only ones in the place. There was a gentleman, I assume the owner, working. He was quiet and definitely didn't want to get too involved in anything. The variety of paint colors available wasn't as good as it was years ago. It also used to be in condiment bottles that somewhat prevented the kids from squirting too much at one time. I'm guessing that they probably see a lot more paint waste without those. Be forewarned that this is the type of place where you really are left to your own devices; no one is going to sit with your kids and give them tips on painting or anything like that. You will want to try to talk your kids into really filling in all the white space. The glossy spray that they use to "finish" them doesn't stick to the plaster if there is not paint on it. The facility is in some need of maintenance. There were lots of signs on things letting you know that a machine is fickle and only takes certain quarters, which you can get up front, or the sign on the women's bathroom saying "Bathroom door doesn't lock. Use men's." Um... okay, or you could just run to Home Depot in the morning before the store opens, pick up a new doorknob, and replace it. Yeah, it takes time and money, but my guess is that the doorknob lock didn't break this morning. Sign looked like it wasn't recently made. Moreover... there are two single stall bathrooms, why is one men's and one women's? They should just both be unisex, since that is what is suggested. Other than a bit of laziness on the part of management in terms of maintenance, it's a fun place, and the kids had a fun morning, which was the goal, for a lot less than I'd have paid at somewhere like paint a dream.

I was very sad to hear that their facility closed a few years ago but grateful that they are still doing events and parties. A small thing that I would recommend is start accepting cards because not everyone carries cash. On that note, the prices are very reasonable. Thanks for the wonderful party!

There are all sorts of fun power ups, "generators" to be shot for extra points, and the design was two story. Which meant of course, the 12 year olds took to the high ground and took out all the adults. Best of all was the staff. There were so kind, accommodating, and helpful. My boys were really excited they won enough tickets to get a big prize and the staff was so great with them and patient to boot! Plus, they made cotton candy right then and there for all the party members. Fresh cotton candy is amazing. Normal price, only 2$. One change I'd love--wine added to menu to go with the beer. ;) Thanks to everyone at Lazertag Extreme!!

Absolutely love The Little Gym in Simi!! Started taking my baby here a little over a month ago (at…read more9.5 months) and I regret not knowing about The Little Gym earlier because I would have taken her when she was much younger. When I first discovered the world of baby gyms, I looked into both here and another gym in the area. I ended up choosing The Little Gym because of 3 things: 1) Proximity. We are in Simi and I would have made the commute to the other gym if it was that much better, but it's not 2) Diversity. This might have to do with it being Simi Valley, but I liked the ethnic diversity that the neighboring city was lacking 3) Instructors wearing masks. I like how the instructors wear masks here. I feel like it sets a precedence for everyone, and shows care and concern for others. Not everyone wears masks and that's ok, even I myself only wear it some of the time. But something about them wearing masks I feel sets a good example of safety and cleanliness and is reassuring. My daughter is her happiest at The Little Gym! We love taking her there and will continue to take her there as often as we possibly can, even though we will be moving away from the area. Thank you Mr. Evan, The Little Gym classes are always the best part of our days!
