    Wow! A hidden gem that exceeded my expectations! Took the kids here for the Labor Day holiday. The staff is very friendly, informative, and accommodating. They had alot of animals to see, lots to explore! It was so hot outside but it is very well shaded with trees. All the paths and enclosures had the breed of the animals or reptiles along with names and how they were acquired. I love that this is an animal sanctuary for rescued and rehabilitated animals who cannot return to the wild. Rather than a zoo holding animals that could live in the wild. So many for the kids to explore, lots to learn here, even for adults. It was an amazing day for us! We had Groupons and paid extra for a private viewing of an Armadillo. The kids were able to touch and learn one on one. They have a small lot or lots of street parking. I highly recommend!

    What a random yet awesome little zoo/learning center. I will say the animals here are much better quality than that you would find a large zoo. I came here for a private party for my friends birthday so they had tables for us setup to have lunch with food we brought and they had an hour animal showing that we got to touch animals such as armadillos and lizards. Pretty comfortable private room and after the party we were able to check out the other animals in the back and admission came with our party price. In terms of everything in the back you got to see many exotic type of animals that you wouldn't see at a zoo. They have many different types of monkeys, alligators, snakes and much more. Parking - This is where it could be rocky. They have a small lot that fits maybe 10ish cars otherwise you have to do street parking on the local streets nearby.

    Such a Fun place for all ages. All animals/reptiles look happy. First time I visit and I can't wait to go back. Small place but there's a lot to see. Friendly welcoming staff. Parking is very small but there's a ton of street parking as it's located in a neighborhood.

    Out guide showing us the armadillo. So much knowledge! Thank you!

    Love this place. Not only because it's close to home but because of their mission to be a sanctuary to so many animals. We recently went to their evening event to checkout their nocturnal animals and we had so much fun seeing the animals at nighttime and learning so much about them from our guide. We've been here a few times and it never disappoints! Visit and support this center!

    The Wildlife Learning Center is SO cool. When my nieces were in town (aged 5 and 7 at the time), I thought the Wildlife Learning Center would be something they'd find fun. A private tour for 4 ran us $350 which I thought would be reasonable for some personal one on one time with the animals. They have a small parking lot and a small gift shop upon entering. Bathrooms are in the gift shop area, as well, and it is where you meet for the tours. It was so cool to have our own private 90 minute guided tour. We pet a sloth, a porcupine, fed a tortoise, fed lemurs, pet snakes - it was so incredibly fun and interactive. Animal lovers will be in heaven! The animals are well taken care of and they only have animals that cannot be released or are being nursed before being released. It's truly a haven for them plus a learning experience for children & adults alike. Even though I did a private tour, they do have normal admission for $16 if you'd just like to go and check out the animals. Also, the posted that all animals have been safe thus far through the fires. They were evacuated then brought 'home'. THANK GOODNESS.

    My friend brought me here back in 2014. Instead of giving presents for our birthdays, we treat each other to experiences and since we are animal lovers this was a special treat for both of us. WLC was established in 1998 as a refuge for wild animals born in Zoos across the world that were either rescued or displaced. Currently, it is home to over 50 species and even has a giraffe. This non-profit center is a wonderful place. A visit here provides an educational experience, and you also get to interact with some of the animals. My friend treated me to a tour, so we got to feed the sloths, which she loved! And, had the opportunity to pet a Fennec fox, which I loved! We had a wonderful time, and it was a memorable day for us both. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and eager to share their knowledge and the animals were all well cared for. I often refer this place to people and suggest coming here if you haven't. It's a fantastic way to spend the day.

    A hidden gem in Sylmar! Small but beautiful little wildlife center. For people with young children, this place is perfect. Less overwhelming than a large zoo, and you can clearly see where the money goes--back into these wonderful animals and the education behind it. Friendly staff, and affordable. I would say the only recommendation I have is to put more stable grounding for people with disabilities especially with in a wheelchair. The rocks are challenging to push a wheelchair through. Otherwise, we were very happy with our experience. Would go again!

    We just had my son's birthday here and it was amazing! The staff are so helpful and helped set up everything for the party. The space was right next to some of the animals, which he loved! They also brought out a specific animal my son requested to see. The center itself is such a cute setup and I love that most of the animals here were rescued. Thank you so much for making my son's birthday so memorable!

    Love the faces!

    Lions, tigers, and bears oh my! Well, maybe not but servals, porcupines and a giraffe oh my, and so much more! I had been to Wildlife Learning Center before, but we had not done a tour. For my great nieces birthday, we decided to book an Adventure Tour, and I highly recommend it. The tour is 1.5 hours, however, ours ran a little longer, and our tour guides were just phenomenal, and so informative! My entire family was just thrilled to touch and feed so many animals! The giraffe and the porcupines were so friendly, sweet and just downright adorable! Luckily, it was a cooler August day, especially since our tour was at 9:30 AM. I recommend an early tour as parking can be a challenge, and by the time we left, it was pretty packed. We had such a memorable experience, I had to make sure that I reviewed WLC before the end of the 2024, as this was one of the highlights of the year! I would love to do it again, and I'm sure my family would as well!

    10/10 stars to everyone at Wildlife Learning Center. If you're looking for a fun place to visit and/or host an event, please consider the Wildlife Learning Center!! We hosted a birthday party here and it was so much fun! The team members for our party met us at the front 30 minutes before our event, helped us set up and walked us through the event timeline. The party area was well organized and efficiently spaced. It was adorable to be between the monkeys and the lemurs. They had outlets available for us to use for fans and such. We were also able to leave the birthday cake in the fridge which was great considering it was a hot day. When the guests arrived, they were given a wristband color specific to our party. They were then free to roam and explore or come hang out at the party area. As they slowly trickled back, we brought out the cake and enjoyed it while the team taught us loads of animal trivia. We learned about parrots, bunnies, porcupines, insects, snakes, etc, etc. The animal interaction portion was a total hit! At the end of the event, the team members for our party helped us tear down and pack up. They wiped down and sanitized the park tables before packing them away. Our guests all left with nothing but positive feedback. A couple notes: 1. At no point did we feel rushed. We thought the 30 minutes beforehand wouldn't be enough but the team was so fast, we were set up in no time. We then thought we wouldn't have enough time for the animal interaction portion before they closed. Nope, they moved through that portion smoothly as well. The team who assisted us was honestly amazing. 2. The animals all looked well cared for and interacted with their handlers positively. Whenever we had a question, the team always answered "I have seen" or "in my experience" which was refreshing to hear as it felt they had formed personal relationships with the animals. Bonus: the animals all have fun names! 3. Parking: They had mentioned at the time of booking the parking lot was small and they were not kidding! There are maybe less than 15 spaces and the entrance is snug. Considering the park is open to the public as well as your party guests, carpooling is definitely recommended!

    Mini zoo experience! In and out in less than an hour if you're reading and intrigued by everything. Other than that, not much else to do here. Giraffe was no where to be found: but for a jolly price of $100 per person we can book an experience which will get you in to practically vip experience and you get to feed: not really a steal if you ask me. Other than that, not impressed. Make sure to check out Groupon before buying full prices admission. Save yourself some money. Needs an upgrade for sure!

    "Tiny but mighty" is what my child said after visiting this wildlife learning center. It's cute, educational, and a cozy size. Many types of small animals and birds with a reptile room. I appreciated the informational facts and stories about the animals they are rehabilitating

    We needed somewhere to drive on a Sunday, so my wife found this place on google, we did not know what to expect, but the place exceeded our expectations. It's a small place but the enclosures are well kept and all seemed to have the animals as advertised. Snakes, Lemurs, Owls. Monkeys, Armadillos with the "Zoomies" etc etc. Great for children. Will for sure go back in the future.

    How long does it take to see the Center with a regular admission?

    It depends on how long you want to look at each animal, but I'd say 30-45 minutes. It's pretty small, but worth the visit.

He loved the variety of activities and made so many new friends. He came home with fun stories each day. I loved that they offered a variety of options from 2 days/week to 5 days. We returned last summer and an unexpected and sudden medical event threw our summer for a loop. They were beyond kind and accommodating.

    My son attended Adventurewood camp for the first time this week. For the most part he enjoyed…read morehimself -- particularly the characters they introduce throughout the week. However, we decided to pull him out for next week because of a very disturbing situation. He shared that a counselor had pushed him with both hands on his shoulders during a capture the flag activity. He had dropped his flag and was putting it back on when a counselor (he didn't know her name) pushed him back hard enough to make him lose his balance and fall. She also barked "you need to reset!" She didn't ask if he was ok or help him up. You'd think if this was an accidental push and he fell over she would say something like "sorry bud are you ok? Here let me help you up" but nope, not a word. A friend he's attending camp with witnessed the whole incident. Since I pick them both up in the afternoons they both recounted this situation to me and both of them noted how inappropriate her behavior was. I immediately reached out to Michael, the owner of the camp. He said he wanted to identify this counselor and get her side of the story. Understandable. My son felt uncomfortable going back the next day but I reassured him it would be handled and offered to drop him off in the morning and stick around to talk to Michael and the counselor. I wanted him to feel safe. Michael identified her (her name is Carson) and said he wanted to talk to her first, which he did a few feet away from me. I heard her say she didn't push him. They then walked over to me and she again denied everything. So we asked both kids to come over and recount what happened. They both did -- in front of her -- and reiterated she pushed him. She denied even touching him. So Michael suggests at this point that perhaps it was an accident and my son responds by saying "how do you push someone like that by accident?!" No response. So I ask her, are you saying these kids are lying? She again said she didn't touch him and at this point we send the kids away. I'm incensed because not only does she gaslight both of them to their face but tells this bold faced lie to her boss in front of the campers and me. I tell her I believe them and I think she's the one lying. At this point she gives me this dirty look - angry, irritated and almost rolls her eyes at me. I turn to Michael and say "and now she's giving ME an attitude?!" Unbelievable. In a follow up call, he tells me how good of a person she is and that this is shocking for him to hear but that she doesn't seem like someone who would do something like this...that she's getting her teacher credentials and he knows her really well. I am getting the vibe he doesn't actually believe any of this and he sounds very skeptical. I respond by telling him that it's almost always surprising when people exhibit bad behavior and that even teachers do bad things...that doesn't make her any more credible in my eyes. He acknowledged that. In fact, it's worse because I would be really concerned to have someone like that teaching a kid. Lack of empathy, accountability, and integrity. I mean, I think it's great he's trying to have her back but there are moments in life when you need to draw a line and act swiftly...these are one of those moments. Because ultimately, this impacts the reputation of your camp. I told him that it would be good to offer training to his staff in case this ever happens again in the future and honestly he sounded baffled and asked me to clarify...I said well maybe tell your staff not to give dirty looks to a mom who's clearly upset that her son just got pushed by a grown adult at summer camp?? I told him that the response to this situation could've resulted in a totally different outcome. Had she said something like "I really don't recall pushing you but if I inadvertently did and made you feel bad I'm sorry - I didn't mean to do that" - I would've went home that morning feeling fine about the situation. When I told him this he said that he's not going to police all her reactions, that she's still young, that she's still learning and made all kinds of excuses for her. Exhausting. Apparently she got a "warning" and will sit out of the flag activity (umm, ok...). He seems like a smart guy and wish him nothing but success in the future and I was earnestly trying to offer advice for how to handle a situation like this better but it fell on deaf ears. I really hope that some kind of learning comes out of this for both of them. Oh and to top it off, my son's friend told her mom that Carson was giving her looks several times throughout the day today and when she asked what kind she said "side eye" looks. NOT COOL. My son also said she was kind of mean to him but wondering why they were even in close proximity when Michael said they'd absolutely be separated and would not see each other? Validates we both made the right choice by pulling them both out. He offered a refund but I'm still pissed about the situation.

    I recently completed the 4-week introductory pottery course and had a fantastic experience. The…read moreinstructors are incredibly patient and skilled at breaking down complex movements--like centering and pulling walls--into manageable steps that were easy for my brain to follow. The studio has a really wonderful, creative energy that I looked forward to every week. It served as a great 'sensory reset' and a way to focus purely on the tactile experience of the clay. Particularly seeing other members body of work. My only minor wish for the future would be a bit more shelf space for student projects! As I got more into the flow of creating, I found myself wishing there was more room to store work-in-progress pieces between sessions. Each purchase of a course provides access to membership hours where you can come in practice before the classes. They provide the base tools in a black case and if you need more clay it's $25. That being said, the quality of instruction and the community more than make up for it. I'm so happy with the projects I made and I'd definitely recommend this course to anyone looking for a new creative outlet! As a note there's a waiting list to become a member after completing the course. So don't hesitate!

    Had a great time with some friends. Highly recommend as a group activity. Great instructor and…read moreended up with a beautiful new piece.

    We hired this company for my son's birthday party, and while the kids enjoyed the show, our…read moreexperience was far from smooth. The scientist didn't bring enough supplies, several children didn't get to participate in the slime activity, kids cried, I looked unorganized, It was really distressing and embarrassing. The scientist forgot some other materials as well and offered to have more sent, but it ultimately wasn't possible because of our location, even though we had paid a $100 distance fee. The show had to be adjusted and cut short. We also provided some materials from home. The company offered a very small discount that felt almost insulting given how much we paid and how many issues there were. They added so much stress to my day. I cannot confidently recommend them.

    I have used this company many times for birthday parties for my children. The scientists are always…read morevery engaging and the children are always occupied with learning science for as long as the scientist is teaching, I usually use their services for an hour and add on services like the cotton candy and rocket launch. They were a hit for my 5 year olds birthday party this weekend! I am a very happy customer! They traveled to Calabasas for us (with a travel fee of course) and it was worth it. They were on time and kept the kids busy for a long time! I would definitely use them again.
