edit: there's so much to address here, but you're…read moremanipulating the stories to paint yourself as a frail old woman who can't do anything wrong. that's a lie. first of all. i never gave you permission to call me "Sky", you just started doing that because you couldn't be bothered to put the effort in. my name is Skylar. second. i have experienced quite a few things i mentioned here. otherwise, i wouldn't have mentioned it! i know how you are and im not stupid. i wouldn't speak on something i don't know about. however. we're not the mean girls - you are. but you're too stuck in your own way to realize your wrongdoings. not naming names, but we are not the only people to feel this way. you talk badly about volunteers, employees, interns, and customers behind their back - all while talking sweetly to their face, calling them "Lovie". you have no right to tell us that we are "mean girls", as we're just standing up to you after the things you've said and done to us. also stop stalking my social medias from the KCL accounts. i see it and it's weird. :) original: this review is based on my personal experience as a volunteer. this was previously a 5-star review, but after spending more time around Cindy, the owner, I've changed it to 1 star. i volunteered at KCL for a year and consistently saw sick cats (worms, respiratory issues, vomiting, etc.), largely because Cindy refuses to use proper disinfectants. aside from one product mandated by a vet, cleaning relies on essential oils and herbal soaps, which are not sufficient for disease control. the employees and interns are genuinely kind people, and my opinion of them hasn't changed. However, due to Cindy's behavior, i stopped volunteering and visiting entirely. the lounge was once under investigation because of her behavior, and based on my experience, those concerns were valid. Cindy presents herself as compassionate, but she is manipulative, unprofessional, and often cruel. She talks badly about employees to others, slut-shames staff, dismisses sexual harassment, spreads personal and intimate information, and retaliates when employees or volunteers set boundaries. volunteers are guilt-tripped into overworking, and those who say no are treated differently. she also speaks disrespectfully about paying customers and regularly gives unsolicited medical opinions despite not being a doctor. when concerns are brought to her, she deflects blame, refuses accountability, and dismisses criticism. Cindy claims KCL is struggling due to lack of visitors, but the high prices, tense environment, overall mismanagement, and homeless camp in the parking lot may be why. i sent her a detailed message explaining my concerns; her response was dismissive and condescending, and she took no responsibility. the cats, staff, and volunteers deserve far better than this leadership.

We booked private experiences with the baby capybaras and then a separate private session with a couple of the adults -- and it exceeded every expectation. The babies were absolutely adorable, gentle, and so interactive. Getting that up-close time made it feel really special and personal. The adult capybaras were just as amazing. Calm, sweet, and fascinating to observe. The staff took the time to share so much educational information about the animals -- their behavior, care, and personalities -- which made the experience even more meaningful for my kids. It wasn't just cute photo moments (although there were plenty of those!). It was educational, hands-on, and thoughtfully organized. My kids were beyond excited and are still talking about it. If you're looking for something unique, family-friendly, and unforgettable, this is it. We will absolutely be back!

Lisa's Teahouse of Horror is within the Simpsons Fast Food Plaza in Universal Studios. It's a great…read moreoption for those looking to eat a bit less heavy while in the parks. My only gripe is nothing is made to order - it's all pre-package items for grab & go consumption. However, we all know Lisa Simpson is a vegetarian so this the horror teahouse fits her just perfectly. They do have tons of salads (though some have fish or chicken in them), hummus, turkey wraps, fruit, yogurts and veggies. Overall it's a much healthier option than other quick service restaurants in the park, though not completely vegetarian. You can find seating outside or a ton of seating inside the food court area.
