Our tour guides were hilarious, entertaining, and did an amazing job making us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire experience. They even sang Happy Birthday to him at the end of our zipline tour as he repelled from the tree. They really made the tour memorable. We also reserved one of a Treehouse for an overnight stay, and it was absolutely beautiful! It had such a fun glamping feel and was fully furnished with everything we needed. I was worried I might be cold overnight, but there was a heater that kept the treehouse nice and cozy. The staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating from start to finish. We truly had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend Sonoma Zipline Adventures and the treehouse stay to our friends and family. So much fun, beautiful scenery in the middle of the forest. Great accommodations, wonderful staff, and definitely worth it! We can't wait to come back!

I really wanted to enjoy my visit to Quarry Park Adventures because the park itself is unique and…read morehas a lot of potential. Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by poor staffing and customer service. The biggest issue was the wait time. We waited over 45 minutes just for the zip line, which is unacceptable considering the price of admission. It was obvious the park was understaffed, and the lack of organization created long delays throughout the day. If you're only planning to do a few activities, I don't think you'll get your money's worth. The only way this place makes financial sense is if you're spending the entire day there. What made the experience even worse was the attitude of some of the staff. Instead of being friendly and helpful, several employees came across as short-tempered, rude, and irritated whenever guests had questions. Customer service is a huge part of any attraction, and it felt like some staff members didn't want to be there at all. The park itself is a cool concept and the quarry setting is impressive, but management seriously needs to address the staffing shortages and customer service issues. Paying premium prices only to spend a large portion of the day standing in line and dealing with unfriendly employees left a very disappointing impression. I won't be rushing back anytime soon.

I loved that this tour includes some amazing and beautiful natural wonders as well as a little bit of history. The place was very easy to find and a quick 30 min or so drive from Jackson. There is a lovely little store to check out before or after your tour as well. The chasm is a cool 58 degrees which was nice on this 90 degree-ish day. It is a little on the steep side with lots of stairs and a few areas where you definitely need to duck from the rocks but was worth it! The limestone cavern is just amazing with breathtaking stalagmite, stalactite and very rare helictite formations. These helictites look like they defy gravity and grow in amazing curling directions. Incredibly, there is a blue lake at the very bottom of the cavern that can be seen from way above - unfortunately we are unable to access that far down but man I wish I could! We learned the lake has tiny little shrimp that live in the pure crystal waters and the only place they are known to exist, mind blowing. Our tour guide was great and shared so much knowledge and history. History: The chasm was discovered in 1854 long after the Miwok people had already lived in the area. Of course, the discoverers wanted to try and cash in on their discovery so they began charging folks and would literally lower them by rope into a hole in the ground with some candles precariously balanced on a plank of wood. Luckily we have stairs and nicely built platforms with cave lighting to see this amazing magical national landmark. Definitely worth the visit!

We were gifted a beautiful day on the river with multiple sightings of wildlife including fish jumping, ducklings, geese, and even a bald eagle! The best part was getting to see the kids do something, get scared, have a blast doing it, and then ask to come back for more intensity next time. I really appreciated the guides for their hospitality, humor, and kindness. However my main piece of feedback would be a friendly reminder that nature and outdoor recreational activities are a form of escape and respite from our every day life, so being more mindful of the topics of conversation brought up during the ride is very important to the atmosphere.

Right away they had a cart with my daughter's name so that guests could place the gifts and their shoes. The host also took our cupcakes, goody bags, and party decorations so that they could set up in the party room. Our birthday package included 70 minutes in the Space World and Candy Land Playground which all the kids loved! Afterwards the host called my daughter's name through a megaphone and asked all guests to head over to the party room. Party room was 50 minutes. Our party package included 1 X-Large Cheese and 1 X-Large Pepperoni pizza with 15 juice pouches. We ordered one additional pepperoni pizza and a 2 Liter Dr.Pepper for a reasonable price! They use Pizza Guys as their pizza vendor, which we've tried before and love! Party room was so organized with everything we've brought and the host made sure to hand sanitize everyone's hands. He served the pizza with gloves and the service from him was fantastic! Afterwards he served our cupcakes and goody bags! My daughter opened up all her gifts and towards the end of the party we still had about 10 minutes left so the kids were able to play a bit more. Host also puts all of your left over decorations, food, drinks, gifts into the cart so that you can take it outside to load back into the car. Highly recommend having a birthday party here! Host does everything so that parents have time to speak to everyone, host was very organized and helpful, kids had a blast playing, and host cleans up everything afterwards! My daughter loved her birthday party at Wacky Tacky and said it was the best birthday party! Thank You Wacky Tacky, we will be back! :)

We booked a party room on a Saturday and it was busy! The staff greeted us at the door and helped us all get checked in. You only get 10 minutes before the room to set up so luckily we had all the balloons blown up and just had to put it together. No outside food except for cake or cupcakes. They use pizza guys which was good! The kids get 1 hour of play and 1 hour in the party room. My daughter likes to play here and we bring her here occasionally and she always has a ton of fun

I specifically wanted to go on a small cruise ship and she enthusiastically recommend Silversea Lines, which I'd never heard of. With only 350 passengers, this was a fantastic, luxury cruise with our every need catered to. It was amazing, all inclusive, and my husband, a first time cruiser and skeptic, loved it! Lucked out and had good weather taking wonderful shore excursions whale watching, hovercrafting to a glacier and flying in a float plane to a lodge where we feasted on fresh Alaskan Crab. Shonne was very professional in booking our cruise, hotels, airfare and helping with special requests. Couldn't have done it without her. In fact, she even pulled some 'strings' to have the Vancouver Symphony play an outdoor concert on the Vancouver Waterfront when we disembarked just to celebrate MY birthday. Now that's a GREAT travel agent. Highly recommended!

From a scary haunted house to spooky mini golf and spooky laser tag. It is nice that Sunsplash offers more than just summer activities. Sunsplash is keeping up with the times with having an Omni VR arena for those gamers wanting an immersing experience. Arcade games are also offered here for those gamers wanting something more tame compared to VR. There's a snack bar on site and parking in the parking lot. They offer group parties if that is something you are looking into for a big event. I do recommend you check out Golfland Sunsplash when you are in Roseville because fun can be had by all!

Their staff appears to be very cognizant and focused on safety, which is appreciated and appropriate - the lifeguards are well staffed, on watch, and seem to be very focused and serious about their jobs. There are even signs saying not to bother the lifeguards when they are watching the water. We had a BBQ that was sponsored by Sunsplash catering - nothing crazy about the food, but standard hotdog/hamburger buffet line. Sodas/ice cream/snacks are available in the park and accessible. Arcade and minigolf are cool and well maintained. The gokart track is short but seems fun (not as fast as K1 cars). Parking is well organized and they do have an overflow lot available as well. Overall, a positive and fun experience, but I can imagine that for the regular season prices that they charge, it can be very expensive for a family to spend the whole day here.

Or maybe you are already a fantasitc surfer, but don't feel comfortable travelling to Costa Rica by yourself for a surf vacation? If this is you, I HIGHLY suggest booking a trip with Pura Vida Adventures. An amazing woman and friend of mine, Tierza, started this business about 4 years ago, and I was part of the very first all girls camp.....and I can't possibly iterate how empowering, fun, beautiful and enriching my experience was....probably because of all the tequila I drank while I was there. My memory is a little foggy ;-) I fell so in love with the area, Malpias and Santa Teresa, that I now travel back on my own to enjoy the same beautiful coastline, waves, rainforests, and people (THE HOTTEST men I have EVER seen living in one tiny area in my life!!) Here's a great quote that a girl from my camp wrote at the end of our trip...I think she sums it up very well: "Start by imagining the perfect week: surfing, yoga, wonderful food, beautiful women, falling asleep to the sound of the waves every night - wake to the sounds of tropical birds in the morning. Maybe see the stars like you've never seen them before. Start telling time by the direction of the wind and the tides. Forget what day it is. How hard can you paddle? Drink? Laugh? Double that, and that's Pura Vida." Although the camp caters to all women groups, they do have some weeks throughout the season that are coed....so, if any guys are interested in this, check out the calendar on their website. www.puravidaadventures.com To get a discounted rate, pay 60 days in advance of your trip. NorCalWomensSurfClub members get an even bigger discount, and joining NCWSC is free and easy to do on their website. So, I highly recommend that for savings....and it's a great way to meet other female surfers. This is one of the most amazing times I have had travelling...and I try to travel as much as I can. It definitely took some months off my life, at least off of my liver, and I think there's a video of me riding a mechanical bull that I wouldn't want my parents to see floating around somewhere on the internet....but, so worth it. I made friendships that will last a lifetime....and it gave me the confidence to begin travelling solo.... Pura Vida

Costa Rica is so beautiful and the people are so welcoming. From the second I arrived at Pura Vida…read moreAdventures, I felt so welcomed and at home. The hotel was the perfect combo of luxe, jungle living. Steps from the ocean, the property was exactly what I was hoping for. The pool was a nice touch and the open air restaurant on-site was fresh and delicious. Now for the surfing and yoga! I was a beginner at yoga at the time and Cris was an amazing instructor. I felt completely comfortable and excited to push myself to learn more. The open air yoga studio overlooking the ocean was so peace during each morning yoga sesh. So, even though I have lived in San Diego my whole life, I waited until my 30s and going to Costa Rica to learn to surf. Crazy! But I am glad I did, because the rolling waves in Costa Rica were so perfect to learn on. The small groups at Pura Vida coupled with the super experienced instructors really helped me feel like I was getting one-on-one attention. I was so proud of myself for pushing through my fear and riding waves in. By the end of the week, I was both refreshed (mind) and exhausted (body). With two small kids at home and a demanding job, Pura Vida was the perfect getaway to reenergize my mind and spirit. I also loved heading into town- such a quant place with good restaurants and fun people. We also zip-lined one day, which was so amazing - Starting at the top of the jungle canopy with the most amazing ocean view, and working our way down to the beach! When I got home, I bought a surf board and began surfing in San Diego. Although, I must say, I like the waves in CR better. :) https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g635538-d12727804-r525853077-Pura_Vida_Adventures-Santa_Teresa_Province_of_Puntarenas.html#

He had lots of knowledge about the California gold rush and it was nice to learn about it as an adult who didn't grow up in CA (I'm sure my 12yo loved learning about it too). While we camped at Earthtrek, it was super helpful that our trip included breakfast, 2 lunches (one lunch mid-rafting trip), and dinner. All meals were delicious and it was nice that there were gluten free options. The OARS site is spacious, with clean facilities, and a small shop for items. Now on to the rafting experience! For some background, my husband was the only one who had ever done it so my kiddo and I were newbies. Along with another kiddo and adult, we rafted through class 1-3 rapids and I never felt that we were not safe (despite me being the weakest swimmer in the family). Alec was truly a guide in every sense of the word. He prepped us before taking on the rapids - gave us the route we would take, what to expect in terms of how we were to paddle and what we had to do. We played some fun boat games and spent some time floating in the river which my husband and son loved. Also included were the always fun brain teaser riddles that had all of us entertained during the floating portions of our trip. After completing the class 3 rapids and all staying in the raft, we felt on top of the world and wanted to do more! If you have ever thought about trying white water rafting, do it - you won't regret it! It's truly an experience and a great time in nature with the family. OARS is a professional and inclusive company, with great guides!
