No one was there even though they were open and we couldn't buy food. We stood by the sign for a bit, walked around, then realized we pot the cash in the big metal box and walk in. It's on the home system. We paid the $2 per person to go in. They only have a few animals there to pet but they all seemed nice and used to people. Most of them walked to us wanting to be pet. I only wished there was someone there so we could've gotten food to feed the animals. Iwould've given 5 stars if they had that. Overall for the price it was totally worth it. If they charged more I probably wouldn't have gone but for $2 totally worth it to the kids.

We found out about the Dana family was given a Mexican land grant of thousands of acres called Rancho Nipomo. The sweet lady behind the info desk offered a tour of the Adobe home for $10 each. We immediately said yes and off we went. We learned that William Dana was a Sea Captain who married into the Santa Barbara Carrillo family. They built a large adobe home to accommodated 21 children. The house has been lovingly restored to demonstrate the Dana's life during the Rancho period. Outside is a vegetable garden and a vineyard with mission grape vines. The scenery is beautiful and I could just imagine what it was like to live there.

I recently went to the Allan Hancock College Winery for the first time with my SO. Great wines…read morewith great service. The wines themselves are excellent and easily compete with Santa Maria's other offerings. I tried all of the wines on their tasting flight, and it's nice to see that the college grows so many different varietals. Some of my favorites were the Albariño (bonus points for growing this varietal on site), Chardonnay, 2015 Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Malbec (the only non-estate offering). I ended up taking a bottle of the pinot home. The service is great! We had a first-year student helping us who was very knowledgeable about the wines and the enology and viticulture program at AHC. For reference, this was on August 17 around 3 pm, so whoever that was, major props to you! The current schedule for the Fall 2018 semester is Friday, 2-6, so make sure to stop by if you're in Santa Maria!

The school hosts tastings on Thursdays between 11am and 5pm in Room 211 of Building O on their Santa Maria campus. As a small-production winery, the students give the wine a lot of attention from grape to glass. The attention shows in the wine with some of them being astonishingly good and hard to believe they are the work of students. Part of the magic is that the students work under the guidance of long-time winemaker Chris Brown, grow grapes under the guidance of one of Paso Robles' most well-known growers, Ric Fuller, and enjoy the benefits of a program administered by the ever resourceful Alfredo Koch with connections throughout the industry and with UC Davis. The strong academic team and the enthusiasm of the students make for a great blend. (I couldn't resist the pun!) But seriously, the wine here is good and because the winery is just getting its start, the wines are currently all under $20, a great bargain considering some of the grapes are sourced from the donations of prestigious terroirs spanning the Central Coast. Plus, you'll be supporting students on their path to careers in viticulture and wine making!

First time visiting this theater and it was a great experience overall. All aspects of the place…read morewere clean: the entrance, the kiosk area, the concessions area, bathrooms, and the theater we were in. Purchasing tickets were a breeze and the concessions worker was a big help with recommending seat options and snacks. The sound and video quality were great. The initial commercials before the previews varied in volume between each. Popcorn, drinks, and snacks were fresh and delicious. Booster seats were available for the little one to enjoy the movie. Manager on duty was active setting up display and helping guide foot traffic. All staff overall were professional and courteous. Parking is plentiful due to multiple parking areas around the mall. Outside Macy's parking area may get crowded but has many disabled parking spots if needed.

They only bummer is that they completely got rid of and painted over the Murals by Mr. Fast and they don't seem to do Nat Fast Day anymore. But they do tons of events, everything is run so well now. They added a gate by the front entrance, so you don't have to worry about your kids running out the front door anymore, and they fenced in the garage door on the sides opening so kids can't just run into the parking lot from there either. They are doing daycare again, summer camps. They have snacks and drinks for sale at the check in desk, they added outside picnic tables with umbrellas out front so you can pop out there to each lunch. There is a Security Guard in the parking lot now which makes things feel a lot safer! All in all this place is absolutely worth the membership fees now, and we happily renewed last year after the change over and seeing all the work they were doing immediately to fix the issues. The AC is fixed, they added seating for parents, so you're not just milling around aimlessly while your kids play. Definitely go here and check it out. They do fun birthday parties too

The museum also has an air station and an outdoor play area with water chutes, which adds even more fun. The price is very reasonable, and the snacks available for purchase are affordable as well. A thoughtful bonus was that they even offered free formula. Overall, it's a fantastic spot for families with young kids.
