It's rare to find someone who combines clinical expertise with such compassion and a holistic approach. Highly recommend!

The Crew, Jake, Wes and Sarah were amazing and very knowledgeable and cheerful individuals. They really added to the experience! The views of the landscapes were very scenic and when you get to the top of the loop, you see a beautiful view of the coast! This adventure is about an hour long and definitely worth it! You get to enjoy the beautiful outdoors and get in some not too strenuous exercise too. Sadly, this business will be closed permanently at the end of August 2025. This is a must before then and you'll definitely enjoy every minute!

On the email it doesn't provide crunchtime with the Tigers which starts at 4:20 and then Buddy's bedtime which starts at 5pm so good thing we arrived at 2:40 for checking in since by 4pm Angie was already gone. We stayed in the #1 bungalow which was nice, Angie was able to add my 2 daughters on the reservation so they set up the futon as a bed. Sam was great for the crunchtime tigers feeding but the other gal who didn't introduce herself for the Rhino bedtime seemed flustered and not friendly at all. After watching the mandatory video of how the rhinos came to VQ, we proceeded to their area. Another gal (Danielle?) joined her and same no welcome, no friendliness. Almost felt these 2 gals were forced to interact with other humans and sure they prefer the animals. At night the Lion constantly roared which didn't bother me since I was knocked out. Angie delivered the continental breakfast which was nice. 9:30 we went to feed the camels and once again the 2 non friendly female staffers were back at it with the camels. Angie and Sam are great and made the visit memorable and worth it. I did knock off a star since if we would of arrived close to 6 as mentioned in the email, we would of missed the 2 activities offered in the evening.

The bungalows are spread out with tall grasses in between so there is plenty of room. There is a viewing area overlooking the zebra/rhino/water buffalo area that is great to eat breakfast at. In the afternoon they bring you 2 different animals for a private viewing, we had a skunk and an alpaca. In the morning we got to feed camels! For extra at 5:00 pm they have a rhino bedtime experience where you get to go into the rhino sheds and then give them pats and rubs! What an experience! Also included is one day at the zoo and they even bring your breakfast at your bungalow! We loved our visit!!

Since my last review, I've brought several people over that have bought their bows there. All…read morewalked out with a top-tier experience (and bow). A few notes after reading the reviews. 1) Jim is really the peak of bowmen....an archer's archer. I've gone hunting with others that have previously hunted with Jim. They told me that Jim took an Alaskan bear at 105 yards with a single arrow. When I confronted him with this, he said, "naw, it was only 100 yards"...... 2) He's been the paid factory rep - the face of the factory - for at least one bow manufacturer. Not an honor lightly achieved. 3) His whole family shoots at the expert level. Some will be there for training events. 4) Jim as a million stories and will give selflessly in showing you, your friends, your class, your league how to shoot. However, he does not suffer fools lightly and if you come in with the "customer's always right" or some other attitude, he will feel no need to help you any longer. Conversely, he is great with kids and clumsies. If you've ever noodled the idea of trying out a bow (I hate using long bows, but compound bows are great fun without pulling yourself apart), I highly recommend that you go visit and ask to try out a rental bow for an hour. Very inexpensive. If you don't get hooked, there's always chess or scrap-booking...... Jim - it was a privilege to shoot my first real bow there. My daughter is your biggest fan. I'll be back soon.

I rarely leave reviews, but I had to make an exception after the experience Jim gave us at the…read moreshop. I walked in with very little knowledge and walked out not only with everything I needed to get started with a longbow, but also with a wealth of insight and guidance. Jim took an incredibly generous amount of his time to make sure both my partner and I were set up for success, answering every question and making the whole process feel approachable and exciting. He didn't try to oversell anything at all one of the most up front and honest blokes I've come across. It's honestly the first time I've been to a shop that shows this level of care and attention to newcomers, it was an absolutely brilliant experience. Because of Jim, his mate Travis, and everyone else we met there, this is quickly becoming a serious hobby for us. If you've even thought about trying archery, do yourself a favor and stop by, Jim will have you feeling confident and eager to start shooting in no time. No amount of online bow shopping or research will compare to chatting to Jim about what you need! Huge thanks to everyone at the shop, you're all fantastic. Looking forward to those longbow shooting events! Can't thank you all enough!

Someone in a review below called this Zoo"quaint"...I would compare going to this zoo to riding on a private jet vs taking a commercial plane. Thev had all the exotic animals you'd expect (Lions, tigers, rhinos, bears, alligators, leopards, kangaroos, zebras, cobra) and the overall venue is cleaner and smaller and much less tacky than typical big-city zoos. I can't imagine why anyone would go vet his place less than 5 stars so I looked at the reviews below...one person said they wished there were more food options. There was a snack truck and plenty of beverage machines. I didn't really mind that there weren't giant pretzels or whatever else you get at the SF zoo. Also I thought the price was fair - the woman at the front desk even pointed me towards a discounted Groupon ticket available online and immediately helped us save $5 per person. Last comment...all the animas were much closer and easier to see than at other zoos. Im not sure my photo below of the rhinos does this zoo justice.

We practically had the whole place to ourselves. ​The setup is great for families. It has different levels, and the walking isn't bad at all. It's stroller-friendly and accessible, which made a big difference. ​Seeing the big, well-designed enclosures and the happy-appearing animals squashed the "zoo guilt" I sometimes get. The environment felt great. ​My favorite was all the big cats. Hearing the Lions roar echo everywhere was unforgettable. We also really enjoyed the big field exhibit with the zebras, rhinos, and all the horned beasts roaming around. Even the birds and the neat little amphibian display were cool, even though I'm not usually into that stuff. ​If you want an easy-to-manage wildlife experience, hit up the Monterey Zoo first thing in the morning. It's a fantastic, accessible spot, and you can tell they are doing things right by the animals.

For the mess around the park I did see some however I think that's more of the parents' job rather than the park maintenance itself. I look forward to visit this place soon
