    I saw a video about this place on social media and saved it…read moreFor later, since it looked like a fun place to take my son. He is almost 6 years old, and I'm always looking for fun ideas/things we can do on weekends. We drove here from Santa Monica (about an hour). Parking is located a few minutes away from the farm. Keep moving down the trail, and you will find it. We bought tickets online, so the check-in process was easy. We purchased a veggie basket to feed the animals, and we paid some extra $$$ so my son can ride the tractor and play on the excavator. There is also a playground on site and a horse ride. It was nice, but after an hour, my son asked to leave. Younger kids will enjoy it more. It took us 1.5 hours to drive back, so we spent more time on the road than actually experiencing the farm. What I like is that there are variety of shops and restaurants around the farm, and it's cute. Boutiques to shop for jewelry, clothes, shoes, HomeGoods, all kinds of stuff, so that was really nice.

    Came by River Street Ranch and honestly... a bit overrated…read more It's a smaller spot than expected, so don't come in thinking it's a full-on big attraction. You can get through everything pretty quick. That said, it's still a nice place to check out if you're already in the area or want something easy to do with kids. The setup is clean and organized, and there's enough little things to keep it interesting for a short visit. Think more "quick stop" than "plan your whole day around it." Overall, it's decent, not a must-go destination, but not bad either. Good to add to your list if you're nearby and just want something simple to do.

    Just happen to drop by after another lfs recommended. after walking in, i am in awe of their…read morerimless tank selection. they have the exact tank i want that is sold out everywhere else. and, it happens to be on sale. i am so glad i dropped by. service is very chill. very happy there is an aquascape specific store somewhat local to me. no more driving to santa monica or west covina.

    I was shortchanged…read more I spoke with nolan that I would like to order 6 cory habrosas for pick up the next day (today) and 5 CPDs. He says he will send me the invoice to pay over the internet. I told him i would pick up from San Diego (more than 100 miles of driving each way!!!) I did not pay yet and asked to change my CPDs to 3 otos. I told him i would like 6 habrosas, at least. When i drove up to santa ana (the next day), with an invoice of 6 habrosas there were only 4 in stock. I understand that Corys prefer larger groups. Had it been disclosed ahead of time that there were only 4 corys, i would not have driven up from SD to Santa ana and the INVOICE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CANCELLED BY THE SELLER If there is not enough stock. There were not even enough otos as i requested. -This wastes my 3 hours of round trip driving (100+ miles) and gas to be short changed. ----------------- -i will have to report this to the BBB as well. -after speaking directly with Nolan, i will wait for his business to rectify this situation before i take additional actions. --------------- Edit on 12/2 after seller's response below: 1. 85 miles or 100 is an approximate. It is a trivial point given that it is a long distance drive from sd to santa ana. The crux of the matter is that you sold me 4 cories when you knew ahead of time i wanted 6. I acknowledge you are closed on Wednesday. You had employees in the shop anyway on Wednesday--they said they had to come in anyway to feed the fish for the long weekend whether i came or not. 2. The invoice i received is an automated email invoice. I can email it to you like. It has 6 cories written on it, not 4. And to your reply i am not looking for other cories, iam looking for the habrosas. 3. You knew i was there to pick up six (that is why the invoice that you personally emailed me stated 6 habrosas, which you wanted me to pay). So Eiither you or your employees did not take stock before you emailed me an invoice or you knew ahead of time that you did NOT have 6 and tried to sell me what you have. 4. The 4 habrosas and the oto cats have SEVERE red gills when they were pre-packed in bags upon my arrival. Either this is due high ammonia or red gills disease. I regret buying them. 5. A local fish store in san diego says it is bacterial and recommends medicine treatment. Since the day i picked them up They have been in medicinal treatment and it is nearly a week where the red gills have been present even with daily water changes and 0 ammonia.. I never had this experience with other local fish stores. 6 aside, i have received unsolicited yelp correspondence from your employee. Note i was courteous with your employees. They did not need to initiate any involvement in yelp which was not appreciated. 7. The only correspondence was that you would send 2 cories free of charge on monday and i would not take further action until we resolve this problem. 8. Please do not send the 2 cories, i am wary of the quality of care from your shop given the state of the cories and oto cats. Going forward I will not be ordering from this "guppy mill". And i will report this to the bbb and to other social media sites

    We had one of the worst possible scenarios for my daughter's bday…read more.. We apparently booked a party room in the wrong location (in New York!!). Hearing that, we had to figure out how to make a party of 15 guests work for a 8 year old, completely excited girl ready to have a blast with her friends My husband went in person and immediately asked for the manager. Jonathan heard our dilemma and offered to help us out. Unfortunately there were no party rooms available. But He set aside 3 tables at the back of the park, gave us table covers and everything as if we were having the party in a room. He got pizzas made, drinks and checked our party in. Jonathan took care of us without hesitation and my daughter and her friends had a BLAST! Our Sunday flop day turned into a great day to remember. Thanks to Jonathan and his team for making it possible

    We just had our son's 8th birthday party here last weekend. The entire party experience was…read moreflawless. Booking online was a breeze and each staff member I spoke with when finalizing numbers was extremely helpful. We loved that all of the plates, cups, and utensils were included, as well as pizza and drinks. All we had to bring was our cake and some extra snacks for the kiddos. When we showed up on our day, the staff that handled the check-in process was kind and helpful. They provided a rack on rollers to store all of our guest's birthday gifts, which made it really easy to roll everything out to our car at the end of our party time. We also had a party attendant that took care of all of the set up, food serving, and clean up. This is where our day really shined! Sky Zone Mission Viejo managers, listen up: Ryan P....this dude was legendary! We could really tell how much he loves his job. He helped us load our stuff in, carried our cooler up and down the stairs, and eased the set up tremendously. That was all great, but the way he interacted with the kids was next level! He brought up balloons and played keep away. The way he served the kids pizza by dropping it on their plates was making them all laugh hysterically. His energy and enthusiasm went far beyond what we could have ever expected and we appreciated him so much! He really made everyone, including our son, feel special. Give this man a raise! Now about the trampoline park itself....let's face it....it's chaos. Full and pure chaos. Kids everywhere. Noise decibel level 1,000. You can't hear yourself think. But it is what it is and it comes with the territory. More importantly, it's clean and the kids had an absolute blast! 10/10 recommend if you're looking for a high energy birthday party and don't want to put a lot of effort into planning.

    A nice park for both toddlers and bigger kids. No sand so leave the sand toys at home! However,…read morethere are swings for babies and big kids. Grass surrounding park is perfect for soccer or throwing a ball around. There are also shaded tables which are perfect for a picnic lunch or snack during the warmer days.

    The playground is for everyone to use and share obviously but when one mom decides to throw a party…read moreand has a bunch of older kids that are bullying younger ones it becomes an unsafe environment for everyone who's trying to enjoy the playground. Today at around 3:15 pm there was some kind of party with small and older kids 5-12 years of age and just one parent supervising them. There was so much going on and the kids were all over the park so there's no way one mom could be able to pay attention to every single one. Some older kid stepped on my toddler while he was on the slide and clearly no one explained to him that's not what you're supposed to do when you're sharing a playground with someone else so we had to leave sooner than we planned to. Parents if you can't handle 10 kids at once by yourself don't bring them to public places like a park instead have a party in your backyard and be considerate to others if your kids can't behave and be nice. It is such an unusual thing to witness in such beautiful neighborhood and it's really frustrating we had to go through this today ourselves.
