She loved hearing the chickens and turkeys and watching the goats, emu, pig and lamb. A highlight was picking some delicious tomatoes right off the vine.

Lots of variety for indoor and outdoor plants and all your gardening needs. The staff were super helpful and incredibly knowledgeable. I really appreciate that. There's so much to see, I'll have to go back when I have more time. I loved the pot selection from the smallest to the largest and the prices were reasonable too. You might see the shop cat resting or the doggo Enzo excitedly addressing the goats. Oh! Grab a bite onsite or perhaps grab some fresh flowers from the little flower boutique with some good gift giving ideas.

I had been before but it was a long time ago. I was pleasantly surprised to find how large this nursery is and how it's divided into sections based on the flora type. It's almost like a display of plants throughout the nursery as they are well integrated into the environment and various areas. Both the cacti and bonsai areas stood out. They have a nice but small selection of pots. The service through out the nursery was nice and friendly. Unfortunately checking out took forever since they only had one staff member at the register. All in all a good nursery that feels more like a botanical garden and a little less like a nursery.

I often come for the Prime Ribeye as this is the best deal in town. This is cut to your specific size! I usually do 1lb steaks! I don't speak Spanish but communication is effective enough. They've got everything you couple think of from cheaper choice grated meats, prime cuts, australian wagyu, and japanese A5 Miyazaki! Place is also extremely clean and upscale which I can appreciate, I will continue to return!

When it started raining, she drove us around in her golf cart so we could still enjoy everything without missing a thing. It was such a thoughtful touch and made the whole experience feel so special. She took the time to introduce us to all the animals and was especially sweet with my son Atlas. Watching her gently introduce him to everything and everyone was honestly the highlight. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does and cares so much about the families who visit. The eggs are incredible. So fresh you can literally taste the difference. Her "rainbow eggs" are beautiful and you can tell there's such a variety. It feels like you're getting something truly special, not just a carton of eggs. One of my favorite parts is that after you buy eggs, she lets the kids hang out in the coop and play for as long as they want. There's also a little play area, which makes it such an easy and fun outing for families. And the location is perfect. It feels like a peaceful little farm escape, but you're still so close to the city, which makes it even better. Diane is truly the sweetest, and this farm is something really special. We loved every second and will absolutely be coming back.

The sale is the best I've seen where it was like $6 for 5, but used to be 5 for $5.. unless it's still that way and I'm blanking out. adhd does that sometimes.. Anywho.. Produce - 4 stars (docking one star cos the pomegranates had lots of ones that were rotting inside, but other than that I like their sales and the fact they are the most local spot that would have rambutan a lot) Ambiance - 4 stars, more so 3.5 stars because it's not that big inside , yet impressively has everything I need most of the time only complaint here.. The imitation krab salad - 2 stars. Will not recommend at all and this is coming from someone who isn't that picky. Chula location had better one, but that's just me. We love to Support local businesses here. The weekend parking can be ridiculous, so I suggest going during the week. Get your nails did next door, get some hopia too.. I love you, national city.

There's plenty of parking, and then you take a short shuttle to the entrance. You're greeted by a sea turtle outside, and inside there's a smaller area with local fish, reptiles, and other animals. My favorite part with kids is how interactive everything is. You can pet and touch the friendly rays and sharks, and the indoor touch pools let kids touch starfish and sea anemones. It's really fun, hands-on, and educational. All the volunteers are very helpful educational, good with kids. Outside, you can walk around and see local birds, hawks, and eagles while enjoying beautiful views of the bay. Bring lunch or snacks and you can easily make a whole morning out of it. Another huge plus is the discounted admission for WIC or CalFresh families, and they offer discounted memberships for up to four people. If you live nearby, the membership is definitely worth it for popping in for an hour or two with the kids.

If you have a stroller you have to take it apart and try to fit it in the front seat. No area to load equipment for kids. Which is wild. I have 3 kids and a wagon now and couldn't bring them. Next - The place is small. You can see everything in less than an hour. The exhibits lack attention. They are dirty and boring with little to no information on each animal. Every time I've gone lots of bird exhibits were under maintenance. I'm really unimpressed overall with this facility.
