For the price, it's definitely a little gem in Palo Alto. Having a little young, I didn't even know…read morethat Palo Alto had this zoo but we decided to take a trip one day to come check it out. You have to make a reservation I'm guessing so it doesn't get overpacked. As soon as you enter, there's a ton of indoor activities for the little. There's a dino area right outside and then on the other side is where the zoo part is. There's not a ton of animals but the animals that are there were pretty active when we were there. There was a tortoise, birds, rabbits, fish, flamingos that we actually got to feed and a few others that I'm forgetting. Again, not huge but it was enough that we probably spent about a good 2 hours there. After that, there's also a park right behind it so if your kiddos aren't tired already, they can burn off some energy there. If we lived closer, I would consider getting a pass but for now, we'll do some day trips there

Admission I've visited a couple of times - once for a…read moreregular visit and birthday party. During my first visit in May 2026, the admission was $14 per ticket for both an adult and toddler for the 10:00 a.m. reservation. If you're planning a birthday celebration or picnic, there are first-come, first-served tables at Rinconada Park next door. Venue The Palo Alto Junior Museum & Zoo is exactly that - it's a smaller, toddler-friendly museum and zoo. Plan to visit for an estimated 1.5 - 2 hours, as this should be plenty of time to explore everything. There are both indoor and outdoor experiences, including interactive activities for little ones, an outdoor zoo, complimentary flamingo feeding sessions, and a treehouse-style playground. Animals available included meerkats, flamingos, raccoons, fish, a tortoise, and macaws. Location / Parking The museum is right next to Rinconada Park and there's a dedicated parking lot. It can fill up quickly during popular reservation times and street parking is also available nearby. Customer Service The front desk staff scans admission tickets upon arrival and provides a stamp for in-and-out privileges, which is helpful if you plan to visit the neighboring Rinconada Park.

***This review is for the week-long summer camp…read more We had a GREAT experience with Safari Run this summer. We signed our two kids up (ages 6 & 8) and they said this is their favorite camp. Pros: - Length of time / it's an all-day camp from 8:30-3:30. - Variety of activities / they stay indoors most of the day either playing in the play structure area or in the party room doing arts and crafts. However, they also have a designated area in the spacious parking lot to do activities as well so the kids do get fresh air outside. - Staff / the camp counselors are AWESOME! Super patient, friendly, and sweet to the kids. Ms. Yadira, Zoe, and Jojo need a raise. They were SO good to the kids! - Drive-thru drop-off and pick-up line / except for the first day of camp, you can use the drive-thru line for the rest of the week. Very convenient, safe, and fast since there's one staff member with the sign-out sheet and another staff member helps with loading or unloading the kids. - Communication / prior to camp, we received a detailed email that included information on timing, activities, and themes for the week. We knew exactly what to expect each day. - Photo privacy / they take photos and videos to post to their social media accounts, but if you want to opt your kids out, they honor that easily. - Snacks / two snacks were provided each day, but you bring your own lunch from home Cons: Can't think of any! This camp may not be right for older kids (the pre-teens), but for the littles, it was very fun. Highly recommend!

We had the Bunny Gurus at a joint birthday party for two kids turning 6 and 7, and they were truly…read moreone of the highlights of the day! We had originally considered having a petting zoo, but after finding Bunny Gurus, we realized it was actually the better option for our party. Instead of a large setup with lots of different animals competing for attention, this gave the kids a more personal, hands-on experience with the bunnies. They were able to slow down, interact with them, and really enjoy the experience in a way that wouldn't have been possible with a traditional petting zoo. From the very beginning, the booking process was seamless. They responded quickly to my inquiry, answered all of my questions, and made everything incredibly easy. Their website clearly explained the different packages, and we chose the smaller package, which still included 10 adorable bunnies--more than enough for our party! The staff was absolutely wonderful with the children. They were patient, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the rabbits they care for. They shared fun facts about each bunny's personality and habits while encouraging the kids to gently interact with them, build trust, and bond with the animals. They made each child feel special by pointing out when a bunny seemed to like them, which really boosted the kids' confidence and made the experience even more meaningful. They brought everything needed for the setup, along with a huge variety of bunny-safe treats that kept the kids engaged throughout the event. The children loved getting to feed the rabbits, watch them do fun tricks with certain treats, and our birthday kids even got the opportunity to hold a bunny at the end! If you're looking for a unique, interactive, and memorable party experience, I can't recommend Bunny Gurus enough. It was such a special addition to our celebration, and both the kids and adults absolutely loved it!

But the kids games (floor is lava and box party) were honestly not that fun, even for the kids.

Glad we did it once, would do the same, but don't feel any desire to go back really.

Here you will make your very own customized slime creation or you can opt to buy pre-made slime kits. The entire process consists of 10 steps: 1) Choosing your type of slime. There are 6 different options: CLEAR, ICEE, CLASSIC, BUTTER, CLOUD, AND THICK + GLOSSY 2) Picking your slime scent. Options vary from fruit loops, tropical, candy crush, snickerdoodle, plumeria, + monkey farts [just to name a few]. 3) Pick your slime color. 4) Mixing the slime with your choice of scent and color. 5) Adding activator to find your preferred level of stickiness. 6) Adding Glitter + Shine. 7) Adding Foam Products 8) Adding Sprinkle Fun Mixes 9) Play with your slime. Squish, punch, pull , and stretch it to your desires. 10) Prepare to package up you creation and top your slime off with your choice of charms. Reservations are not required and the establishment offers private parties/celebrations. This process from start to finish can be quick or prolonged, depending on how much time you have or what you want. There have been instances where the process took my child 15 mins and others where she would linger for 45 mins or so. The staff here is always friendly and they take time to listen to their little clients. On a few occasions, including yesterday's recent visit, Ms. Emma was the employee to assist and interacted with my toddler. I appreciate her creating conversations, being patient, and uplifting my child during the entire process. Slime creating is a bit costly but the fun and confidence my child has when she exits the establishment is well worth it.

We brought food and the parents kinda got kicked out of the main area which was great.

A farm was set up along the way up to a trail sign where's to divide into two directions. Left is hidden villa trail, right is bunny something trail. We went for the left. It was a narrow, sloped and uneven trail, right next to a creek. The scenary was tranquil. Be careful of midsized rocks and tree roots stuck out on ground for their ankle-spraining hazards, and the sharp-edged hanging branch on tree. (My son bumped his head, causing swelling, thank God no bleeding!) Some area shady some not, bring a sun hat. Wear long sleeved clothing as there're mysterious outgrown weed bushes that might irritate your skin. Parts of ground were covered by leaves, it was easy to walk on providing landing cushion and traction. There's an archery site next to parking lot. Already signed up for my next adventure.

Once in a while the manager will set-up an adult event on Friday. It features activities that you can get raffle tickets for free lego sets like stamp collecting, getting good scores at Imagination Express, Plinker and more! One drink is included for the event! Plus the crowds are light so I was able to do lots of activities! No noisy kids too! The Imagination Express was a short and mediocre ride, it a very cheesy version of toy story midway mania. There was hardly any wait for the ride due the event. I did went on it a few times for the raffle ticket challenge. Sadly, the staff closed it a few minutes early from the event and I wanted to go one more time. Some staff are not happy to be around but I can relate for this. Some feel like they have to be here or needs to work on their social skills. But no negativity experience from this. There is also a theater area which is not too bad there. The 4D effects can be cheesy though. The good thing around this place is that there is a huge impressive lego models of the Bay Area in one room! San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Clara and Oakland! Definitely an okay place for one time only. If you don't have any kids then definitely consider going to the adult night event for this!

First time here and got the impression right away that most workers were there because they HAD to be there, not because they WANTED to be there. Not saying that all workers were like that, but at least 80% gave that vibe. Came on a Saturday afternoon and the bathroom was overflowing with paper towels in the garbage and toilets not flushing properly. When my son would go up to workers and ask about Pop Badges (because he went to LLCA and LLFL earlier this year), workers would say no even if they were wearing them on their lanyards. (Read somewhere later that you're supposed to "trade" with staff but it would have been nice if someone working took the time to explain that.) HUGE shoutout to the store attached, those workers were really kind and took the time to say hello and acknowledge my son who was celebrating his birthday. Oh! And also the train attendants.
