    Hired critter Christina for my son's 7th birthday and it's safe to say.. we had a blast!! All the kids were so engaged and so happy and Christina did an amazing job of controlling the whole situation (we had around 20 kids) and we couldn't be happier ! Thank you!!

    What an experience! This is so much fun and educational specially for reptile enthusiasts like our son. Alicia and Christina are such an awesome team! They not only made our son feel so special but all the guests well. Thank you for making our Son's party so memorable.

    Jurassic Jessica and Critter Cristina was amazing. The animals were just too cute! We had our TK, Kinder, and 1st grade students absolutely loved petting the animals. Tupaca the alpaca was THE highlight of our day. I highly recommend this company for your school or other gatherings!

    The Camels were my favorite!

    Such a wonderful experience coming here and meeting the animals! Our tour guide, Alicia was amazing! She was super kind, fun and educated! 10/10 would recommend coming here!

    Owner Cory is very sketch. Tried to book his camping site through Hipcamp for father's day weekend. Thought I could escape for a night, and enjoy the zoo with my kids the next day. Though I have a job and family so can't be completely off grid. His campsite advertises it has WiFi and cell service.. Justtttt after I made the booking he said, that's actually not the site, it's a different site. No wifi or cell service. And NO REFUNDS. Craziest bate and switch I've ever seen in my life. Very unethical. Very shady. Will likely have to dispute on AMEX.. Thanks Cory!!

    My 4 year old and I did a private tour with Christina and 2 of her friends and moms today. We all had a blast. Christina was great with kids and was the perfect guide and educator for their age range. I would highly recommend this as an activity.

    Cory and the entire Reptacular team are amazing! They 1000% earn all the five star reviews they have. My goal for our wedding was to have a great time and party. Cory was so accommodating and allowed us to make that happen, no problem! Even our coordinator was surprised at how easy they made the entire setup and tear down process. We had around 150 guests and we all fit great, the staff were around and had everything under control like parking and trash. They really allowed for our entire wedding day to be a blast. We had herbie the camel join us and the petting zoo for cocktail hour, nobody expected it and it was a great surprise for guests. Cory and his wife really made it about us, and with so many people coming up to us, they made pictures a breeze.

    We've used Reptacular Animals for 2 separate parties over the span of 3 years: a reptile experience and the deluxe petting zoo. Each time, the kids had an amazing time and raved about how much fun it was and how nice the handlers were. The animals are all clearly well taken care of and the handlers are informative, patient and kind! They interacted with the kids and even gave them some fun facts to learn. Would highly recommend!

    We were so happy that we had our wedding here! It's only a few minutes up the mountains but it feels like we were somewhere magical! The staff was amazing and very attentive. A huge shout out to Diana who not only coordinated the day of our wedding reception but went above and beyond to make our night special. She does it all, please do yourself a favor and make sure you get her to coordiante your event. This truly is a magical place.

    Reptacular Ranch was a big part of why we loved our wedding. Animal lovers will obviously be obsessed, and even the boring animal-neutral people in your life will come away with some great stories. Cory was very easy to work with and accommodating across the board. The staff was super friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Feels like you're in the middle of nowhere, but you're close enough to take a quick Uber back to the Valley. The venue already has a fun aesthetic, but there's still plenty of opportunities to make it your own with decorations. One little thing that I loved is that the hills keep the sun out of your eyes in the ceremony space, so we were able to have a 3pm ceremony (in November) and no one was getting blasted with the sun.

    I had the best time at reptacular ranch. I was on TikTok and there is a organization called Los Angeles social events. I saw there would be camping and it was at this ranch. I was so excited and it met my expectations 100%. The owners Cory and Jen are amazing. They have a great family and have build this place from the ground up. 15 acres I mean just wow! It's very clean and the animals are well kept. It's crazy how it doesn't smell. You would think a ranch with all of these animals it would have a smell but it wasn't that at all. Christina one of their workers you could tell knows so much about all of the animals. From their breed to their age etc. (goats, sheep, lamb, alpacas, dogs, lizards, rooster, emus, camel, tortoise, donkeys etc) I did camel riding and it was my first time. Not as scary as I though and they give a demonstration to ensure you're safe and comfortable. They also have 100 weddings per year. We saw guests get tours on the space and as a event planner I will highly recommend this place to my clients. Looking forward to coming back here!

    We hosted our son's 4th birthday party at our house, and Reptacular Animals made it truly special. I was in touch with Jen who helped us create a customized mini exotic mix of animals + petting area which was a perfect fit for our little ones. The kids were engaged and excited. The petting area was a definite hit and a perfect suggestion. A big thank you goes to Jen, who was fantastic with the children. Her patience and genuine care really shone through as she worked with our young, hands-on learners. She was excellent at being educational but also meeting the kids where they were in terms of presentation, information and what i'd call "little kid random off topic " questions. It's clear that she loves what she does, and she takes great pride in sharing her well-cared-for animals with everyone. The entire party was built around the unique experience provided by Reptacular Animals, and we wouldn't hesitate to do it all over again exactly the same way. Thank you a hundred times over for making our son's birthday so memorable!!!

I knew that planning a wedding with 2 young kids would be very difficult and stressful, so I convinced my husband on investing on a planner. From the initial consultation, I knew Yami and I would get along with our shared love and enthusiasm for Disney. I saw her wedding photos and I knew that she could help me achieve my dream wedding. And she did! Yami brought on strong recommendations for different vendors and made sure I could get the best value for what I am looking for. Without her, I wouldn't have known vendors who are so talented and creative and made my wedding so beautiful. Yami is also super creative! She made me my seating chart, my welcome sign, and even signs for my kids to hold during the ceremony. She made sure that the details that I wanted were honored and that my family would be able to enjoy the day. My husband and I were able to create core memories with our kids and that is something priceless for me. My guests have told me that I have set the wedding bar so high. The only complaint I got was that we got so much food! (Which in Filipino terms, is a compliment). If you are a future bride looking for a planner who can give you your dream wedding, definitely check Yami out!
