Their entire farm is made up of the most adorable animals you'll ever meet. From Ricky the Donkey to Thelma the pot-belly-pig, and every animal in between. Jeff and Ronna take the time to give you the royal treatment, answering any and all questions! Jeff even jumps on the train to give you a tour around the farm! There were eight of us and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves all morning long. It's by appointment only, so get yours ASAP.

I booked the night before, very last minute, and there were no issues! Jeff and Rona were ready when we arrived and provided the most fun tour of their animals and property to our family. They were patient and accommodating with my toddler, and let her feed several of the animals. At the end of the tour, she got some time to play on the property. The giant play structure might have been her favorite part! The little train ride was an added bonus as well. You can tell that the animals are all loved and cared for as well. Made my husband and I want to quit our city jobs and go start a farm! Such a fun spot and again, perfect to break up the drive to/from Yosemite.

We came with a group to check out the Hughson Arboretum & Gardens. Our personal assignment for…read moreourselves was to take photos of every color in the rainbow. I tried my best to capture every color in nature. However there were only a few blooming trees when we went. I thought maybe if we came at a different time of the year, we might see more blooms. I'm not sure. To be honest, it was a little underwhelming, and one of my friends expressed their disappointment. It looks larger online, and we were restricted from seeing all of the plants and trees, due to the fenced-in area. However, I enjoyed the short walk in nature, and tried to capture as many beautiful photos as I could.

The instructor's are amazing! Brittney is a very very talented dancer and teacher! I'm just glad that I was able to get my daughter signed up with 8 count before they get booked. This place rocks!!! I HIGHLY recommend 8 count!

Happy Claw Arcade in Turlock is a small, cute spot that makes for a fun family outing. They offer a…read moregood variety of claw machines along with a few special games. Almost all of them only cost 1 token per play! My family and I spent about $100 and managed to win close to 13 plushies, so overall it felt worth it. The main challenge is the claw strength -- several times the claw would grab a plushie, lift it up, and then drop it once it reached the top. The weight of the plushies definitely plays a role, so some machines require a bit of strategy and patience. The staff were very friendly and even added more plushies to the machines to help make it easier for the kids to win, which we really appreciated. The space was clean and welcoming. $20 for 23 tokens is a solid deal, and we ended up spending almost 40 minutes inside having a great time. All in all, it's a friendly, clean arcade with fair pricing and fun games. We'll definitely return.

This place was perfect! We came in from Reno to visit with my grandkids. We went to the bowling…read morealley first lunch and the granddaughter kept asking to go to do the claw games. We have seen a store in Reno Nevada and we were just talking about it so I popped it into yelp and it came up in Turlock where we were headed after bowling. They had so much fun. The owners are really nice and gave them a little lesson and even propped some of them up. We spent $230 but it was well worth it. The kids were happy. Then we got the mini melts. Super fun worth every penny. Of course you don't have to spend that much but we don't get a lot of time with the grands so we were glad to do it plus, it was on our way to where we were going!

Yes, it has been a while for a review, but now I have a good reason to write one!…read more Had a really hard time finding a barn in my local area that fit my needs which I found surprising since the valley, I assumed, would have a reasonable amount of good boarding facilities just like LA did. Well, not so much. Even though this IS the land of agriculture there just do not seem to be many places, or if there are, they are not advertised properly and one will never find out. I didn't need a training/show barn, but a location with amenities such as turn out, arena and trail access. But I found so much more at Krogh Ranch! The stress of keeping my horse at a personal property location and his care were completely overwhelming me as they were not meeting our needs. Since I work in LA still once a week out of the month, being so far away and worrying about him was driving me and my husband crazy. By chance I happen to find a note on the board of our local feed store of a newer place that was holding a very cool event with training demos, yoga for your horse, dental, all sorts of cool stuff, a BBQ and raffle with prizes. Now this was starting to sound more like a place I'd feel comfortable having my sweet horse/child Easter at! We drove out immediately and after wandering around looking at the facility we were greeted by the husband of the duo. Gave us a tour while the clinic was going on and was so friendly! The facility itself is top notch. Lots of boarding space and room, one LARGE round pen for turnout, two smaller ones for turnout, pastures, an open ring for barrels/jumps, a massive COVERED barn and access to trails and miles of farm roads to meander down including the beautiful Bear Creek. The ranch is gated for everyone's safety and horsey security. A secure tack room and bathroom to boot. They also make sure all horses are vaccinated before coming onto the property, that they are shod on a regular schedule so that they know YOU are a responsible owner as well. Lisa, and now Easter's auntie as I call her, is so committed to everyone's horse care and owner satisfaction. Her many years of experience in boarding and love of horses really shows through. My silly horse cut himself recently as he cast himself rolling when I was in LA for work and she handled the whole emergency scenario for me until I could return a few days later. I am SO confident in her and her husband's care of my horse I never panicked. I was more worried about her being worried and she was! So, do NOT fear if something happens to your pony as we know they all find trouble, your horse's care is their #1 priority! Lots of additional services offered too like fly mask, turnout, mare & foaling care,training and of course med attention if you need assistance with meds/wraps. I can't express how thankful I am to have found this place, not stressing or worrying about your horse is so critical to being a happy horse owner! Also, all the boarders are so welcoming and many have been there FOR YEARS! That is a true testament to Krogh Ranch! :) Give them a call, you and your horsey will NOT be disappointed! Visit their FB page for more info! They also have a few cows and calves on the property, great things for your horse to learn about if they've never been around them like mine! Where else are going to feed a baby calf! :) http://www.facebook.com/KroghRanch
