We came here at the beginning of winter break for a day trip farm experience for the kiddies and it…read morewas really great! The whole experience was about 2 hours and our ranch hand Deanne was super friendly and great with the kids and animals. All the kids were able to get a turn milking the goats and took pics the animals, it was s very personalized experience. Maxwell even got to feed and walk Freckles. We even got to drink the goat milk that we milked (super delish BTW). We didn't do the overnight stay but saw the house and it's huge and adorable! It's definitely something we'd be interested to do with a bigger party. Serina is also a fantastic host. I can't wait to see all of their plans come to life!

They damaged the bar pretty bad. there is scratches and peck marks all over the side if the doors. I completely understand the birds run freely and we're on a farm but I think when your renting out airbnbs and there can be damage to your property there should be a safe parking area. There could have been a little bit more effort done from the Airbnb host to keep her renters leaving happy. Hopefully this doesn't happen to other guest.

I was not disappointed, in fact, I was delighted. Their staff was welcoming and friendly. Their vendors were the example of the Sunshine. They were bright, polite, professional, and helpful. Cheers to the dream coming true for our High Desert Citizens who hoped something like this market place would happen! I am learning a lot about the 2022 Apple Valley Community... I am learning of the Local Legends and The Families. I am seeing the love, compassion, and kindness. The Makers, Dreamers, Artist, Curators, Go Getters and The Hustlers visions and dreams are here taking a healthy advantage of the opportunity to Thrive. I want to give a special thank you to Free Spirit Boutique who earned an unofficial 5 Star rating for their beautiful items. My wife is delighted with their gorgeous attire. As well as all of the other vendors who we interacted with. For those who we did not interact with, we will catch you on the next visit! See you again soon. :)

It's such a gem to have in the area…read more There's space for children to play, and open space for throwing frisbees, or having a picnic, or reading a book. Plenty of space to walk your dog. There's at least two lakes that I've seen and numerous hiking trails several of which I've enjoyed. Some people like to fish, I'm not sure which type of fish are in the waters. There's also horse trails and bike trails. Most of the trails are accessible whether you have a motorized scooter, cane, or wheelchair, you can enjoy the nature trails. There's a variety of different wildlife and birds. A great place to bird watch. There's cows nearby. I love cows! There's clean restrooms, but they never have soap. There's overnight camping available and space to keep horses, not sure if it's for overnight horse lodging. I'm grateful for the Regional Park card they offer to veterans. That's a huge benefit and I appreciate it. I recently discovered the Celeste De Blasis Memorial Garden which was so beautiful it made me emotional. It's nice to see things like that in this area. This is a beautiful park and one of my favorite parks to visit. It's open daily from 7:30 am to 7pm.

There is a fee per day/per car ($15 as of this writing), so plan accordingly. While I didn't camp, I did see some stunning campsites right next to the water and in beautiful condition. Lots of great hiking spots, lots of folks fishing and overall a wonderful atmosphere. There's even a Frisbee golf course. Very clean and well-maintained. Parking is included in the entrance fee.

They have a good variety of exotic animals, and one of the best parts was being able to get pretty close to them and even feed some of them with the help of the staff. The workers were very friendly and made the experience enjoyable, especially for a family. The prices were also very affordable. The sanctuary itself is fairly small compared to a traditional zoo, but I actually liked how close you could get to the animals. Parking was spacious, although just be aware that you have to drive down a pretty long dirt road to get there. I do always feel a little bad seeing animals outside of their natural habitats, but overall we really enjoyed our visit and thought it was well worth it. If you have a family and want to take the kids somewhere to see some exotic animals up close, or you're simply an animal lover looking for something different to do, I definitely recommend checking this place out!

I don't remember the instructor's name, but she was super nice, helpful, and had a good sense of humor. It was a full class with various personalities in the room, and she was calm and smiled the whole time! I was so disappointed seeing some of these other comments. These types of painting classes are meant to have fun with family and friends, not to paint the Mona Lisa lol. Having said that, perhaps consider adding special 3-5 hour occasional "level 2 or level 3" classes for those artists with more experience and want a more detailed painting. I don't know the name of the man who answers the phone every time we call the business, but he has been the nicest, most accommodating person! We couldn't make the night we reserved for and he was able to credit for another night (last night). We had a bunch of questions too, and he always answered the phone and professionally answered all of our questions. I have been to tons of other paint places and all you get typically is a recorded message. I live 70 miles away and would rather drive here to take these classes with my son than to take paint classes in Temecula... It was soooo fun, thank you Flying Colors!!! Aidalyn/Ashlyn/Amanda

Nice BYOB night out. They have a small stage with camera to magnify what the artist is doing as she…read moretalks the group through step-by-step instruction. If you're a strong artist this maybe too elementary for you, but if you're average or below in the painting department this is a good way to develop some skills. The time of the event is two hours, for me, time was too crunched and I felt rushed to keep up and finish. Some brushes are a bit damaged and don't make the markings you may intend so don't expect perfection. The day we went they ran out of some paint colors- this is disappointing and should not happen at a business specializing in painting. I recommend always having backup paint and a person circulating for paint color refills. Additionally, I'd recommend making this a 2.5 hour event, you need an extra 30 minutes post instructions for patrons to touch up/ finish their creations without feeling it's time to cleanup and get out. Although it's BYOB my lesson learned is to bring a cup with a lid as painting neighbors don't mind sending paint splashing off the canvas. Overall, this would be a fun event with friends or reserve for an office party.
