Our son Cruz has been going to Sugar Sweet Farm since he was 6 years old. Last summer, as he was…read moreapproaching 12, we thought it would probably be his final camp season. We were wrong. He signed up again this year, and when we picked him up today, he couldn't stop talking about all the fun he had--just like he did when he was 6. Seeing that kind of excitement after all these years truly melted our hearts. Now, Cruz is already looking forward to becoming a counselor one day. Elizabeth, Farmer Bubba, and the entire team are simply the best. You've created a place where kids make memories that last a lifetime. Parents, if you're looking for an incredible summer camp experience, Sugar Sweet Farm is the place to be. Thank you for all the memories.

I brought my 16month old nephew to here. We had so much fun and had an amazing day here…read more Sign up and sign the prior visit. Lots of animals and activities for kids. Turtle, chicken, snakes, lizards , dogs, bunny, horses, rabbits.. etc For activities; play grounds, face painting, art class, play room I would definitely bring him here again.

Where do I begin? We absolutely loved our visit here! You can tell Wes and his wife love their…read moreanimals so much and take such wonderful care of them. We booked the Mini Pig Experience and added on a visit with the mini cows: Adeline, Shasta, and Sedona. We really enjoyed our conversations with Wes, and he made the entire experience so fun and memorable. Their ranch, along with the time we spent with the beautiful pigs and cows, gave us the chance to disconnect from the stresses of everyday life. We received a complimentary bucket of greens to feed the pigs. Definitely wear clothes you're comfortable getting dirty in - the pigs love the mud, and they also love cuddling up with you! We would love to visit again and stay in their Stargazer Suites that overlook the cows' ranch area!

SoCal Mini Pigs is not just a petting zoo. It's a special place where visitors can interact with…read moremini pigs, from petting to feeding and even adopting. Visits are by appointment only, so my husband and I booked a session on Valentine's Day. This was hands down the best animal experience we've had, thanks to the amazing staff and adorable animals. The animals were friendly, engaging, and active, which is a testament to how happy and well cared for they are. Each party is given a complimentary bucket of lettuce to feed the animals, with more available for purchase. We got to pet and feed not only mini pigs, but also goats, ducks, chickens, and even a large, handsome turkey. And because it was Valentine's Day, the staff passed around glasses of sparkling wine for guests, which was an extra special touch. The setting is tucked away in a mountainous area, making it feel like a hidden gem off the beaten path. It was the perfect stop on our way to San Diego. We're definitely looking forward to returning again next time!

We had a great family outing at Fox Point Farms! It's a…read morewonderful place to bring kids. The farm is cute and well maintained, and the tractor barrel ride was enjoyed by kids. Admission to tractor ride included picking a vegetable and animal feeding/petting. The market is adorable, and we really appreciated that many of the ingredients used in the prepared food sold are organic and locally sourced. We ordered the pizza and salad, and both were fresh and delicious; our kids enjoyed them too. Parking onsite is limited, but we had no trouble finding nearby street parking and walking over. There were also plenty of clean bathrooms, which is always a plus when visiting with young children. Overall, a fun, relaxing experience for families. Great place to take guests.

Yes! There was one vegan sweet treat in the case. A Summer Fields Cookie - Coconut and Sweet…read moreCorn. It was so flavorful. Lime zest was sprinkled over the cookie in addition to some coconut flakes and a glaze over part of the cookie. Definitely a re-buy. Tried a new-to-me Kombucha as well. There are so many items in the market, but it doesn't feel crowded. I was able to get the last bag of Steep & Sourdough English Muffin Sourdough Bagels. I just noticed that there is a little sticker on the bag - Best in Show from the 2026 San Diego County Fair. Now I'm extra-glad I picked them up! I wish the pizzas offered a vegan cheese. The tacos had one vegan taco, but as an fyi, their beans are vegan. There is a great open space for picnicking, playing, or watching soccer! Fun little playground with a great tree to play on.

This zoo is massive and an amazing spot for any animal lover! Come early to snag a parking spot…read moreand to give yourself time to enjoy as much of the zoo as possible. The area is teeming with not only healthy animals but also amazing flora and landscaping. Aside from the printed signage to learn about the animals, there are volunteers in red shirts to teach / answer questions. To say the zoo has a lot of animals is an understatement-- from polar bears to giraffes, Komodo dragons, koalas, and countless species of monkeys, I can't fathom how much science it takes to feed and care for them all! The SD zoo is also one of the only places you can spot pandas and a platypus! The queue for the giant and red pandas but shorten significantly in waves (we didn't even wait). The platypus was a lot tinier than I imagined and very elusive, but it was still pretty neat to spot it for 2 seconds as it zoomed by. Loved how you could bring your own snacks/food and drinks into the zoo and sit in any of their eateries for a break. There were plenty of well-kept restrooms around the premises. Come early to snag a parking spot and avoid the traffic! (P.S. There is actually a SD Zoo Safari Park further north with a different experience! Check it out :D)

We spent a good 6 HOURS, at the San Diego Zoo. We were amazed by how fast the time went by, THERE…read more We always start with the GUIDED BUS TOUR. We like sitting in the front row, and we're supposed to board. HOWEVER, they forgot the priority group, UNFORTUNATELY!!! We had to wait for the next bus. ONCE ON, and going, we saw TIGERS, HIPPOS, LIONS, BIRDS, ELEPHANTS, AND CONDORS. When we got off, we went to the Giraffes. We heard that one of them was celebrating a BIRTHDAY. We were also told about feeding them today, AND I DID THAT FOR ONLY $8.00!!! It was then off to the Koalas, and then to the BABY BABBON. We then stumbled upon something really rather beautiful in AFRICA ROCKS, the Bird Cage large enough for paths of people to walk through on two different levels. NEARBY, tucked away in the trees, A JAGUAR, of all things!!! We were lucky to get to see Penguins being fed by a trainer. It was fun to see the it done IN LIVING COLOR. OBVIOUSLY, they, the penguins were hungry. FINALLY, we rode the SKYRIDE, rt. REALLY, REALLY FUN. SEEING EVERYTHING from above, including the Pandora Bears. We LOVED EVERYTHING!!!

More stuff to see and do than Bates Nut Farm. I truly wish there was more crowd control with the tickets for the event because it became hard to enjoy after 10am. Like maybe maxing out the event tickets would have been nicer for each time slot. I will plan to be back for the next trucks event definitely!

Oma's Family Farm is such a special little gem. Everything feels thoughtfully put together, from…read morethe animals to the open space, and it's such a fun, wholesome experience for kids and parents alike. You can really tell how much care goes into maintaining the farm and creating a welcoming environment. My little one had the best time exploring and interacting with everything. It's one of those places that feels both relaxing and engaging, which is hard to find. I do wish the playground areas were open daily because they're such a highlight and would make it even more of a go-to spot during the week. Overall, we absolutely loved it and can't wait to come back

A beautiful wildlife preservation site where you can enjoy animal encounters with exotic animals!…read more - PARKING - We parked on the hill past the entrance of the business, and walked down. Pretty steep but it's a short walk. - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - Book your visit online! There are group rates and additional attendee rates, so just make sure you have the right count of people! Staff was very friendly from start to finish, and I loved seeing the enthusiasm shine through their work. It's not a huge site, so not a ton of walking involved, but there are some steps if you're worried about accessibility. Make sure to wear closed toed shoes! - EXPERIENCE - We booked a Wallaby encounter, and initially I thought it was only going to be a single animal experience but I was pleasantly surprised we were taken on a tour around the area! We did get to feed and pet the Wallaby, but we also walked to see all the different animals in captivity. They also brought out some animals for us to pet and see up close! - OVERALL - A wonderful wildlife preservation site, and amazing staff to take care of them all!

Living in the area my entire life, I had never been to this location until recently. When entering…read morethe area, you are greeted and asked to sign liability waivers. You can do so either via QR code or traditional pen/paper/ipad. Kids, Vets, and adults all have their own pricing. Mine was $16 to enter for an adult. There are llamas, goats, chickens, bunnies, horses, and other animals about. Coming here reminded me of when I was little going to similar farms in Modestka canyon. There are opportunities for kids to ride a train, play on a horse, feed the animals, dig sand using kiddy tractors, and search for gold. I had alot of fun watching the kids play and creating memories with my little guy and his mommy. It can get hot now that the weather is heating up, so I suggest taking into consideration when you visit, bringing water/hydrating, and snacks if needed. Bring your sunscreen and hat. There are areas where you can sit and tables. 10/10
