    Game night for our kid's PTA fundraiser
    Tan P.

    We came here on a Thursday evening since it was a PTA fundraising event for my daughters' elementary school. We have lived in Camarillo for about 10 years now and finally had a chance to visit Zander's. Overall, it's a great establishment. It's very clean inside and the games are all clean and well maintained. The game selection is so wide, there are games for all ages. There are snacks and beverages that can be purchased inside and they also host different events every night. Stop by if you are in the Old Town area.

    Potion Explosion uses marbles to determine what ingredients you have for making potions.

    Jeanne is awesome, she was very welcoming to my wife and I as we wanted to see her board game shop while we were on vacation this week. After seeing so many games we've wanted to try for years we decided to pay the very inexpensive $5 per person cover. We played 3 games over several hours before heading out to dinner at a place Jeanne recommended. The first game we had to play was Scoville as it's been on my wishlist for 7 years. It's about cross breeding peppers and was really fun. Next we played Quacks of Quedlinburg and it is a fun bag building, press your luck game. Finally we played Potion Explosion which uses marbles in a fun new way to determine which ingredients you get. Overall we had fun, and if we lived closer by we'd be here every week. We made a note to try spending at least an afternoon here each time we're down in Ventura. Thanks for having a terrific business Jeanne, your kindness and hospitality won us over and we can't wait to come back.

    See all

Now that phase 1 of the museum is complete and open we are amazed. A beautiful little outdoor theater, a play cafe and farmer's market, a real greenhouse and a Channel Islands themed playground are just a few highlights of the outdoor experience. The indoor has a nice little classroom and shop area and a really cool maker space including a cardboard "chomp saw" and lots of crafts! The staff are really kind, patient, polite, and helpful. They help transform this from a fun space into an inviting experience. You can tell how passionate they are about family learning. The museum is already amazing and a fitting successor to the library that used to be on the site. We can't wait for phase 2, when the rest of the indoor space is renovated and available!

A water exhibit would be good too with the heat! Overall we had fun but I did wish there was more to do for the kiddos.

The zoo itself is the perfect size for younger kids. They had a great variety of animals including tigers, a lion, several types of birds, and monkeys. The staff throughout the zoo were informative and approachable, making the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, a fun, easy outing that's perfect for little ones. We'll definitely be back!

This zoo is so that college students who are studying animal related programs can gain experience meaning they don't have all the animals you see at typical zoos but there were still some really cool ones! And because students are learning they have animals roaming around with them so you could potentially see a beaver or a hawk up close and in demonstration. I honestly think I preferred it here as it was slow paced and not very crowded. I don't believe they had any food here so bring snacks and their gift shop was closed. I don't know if that was only on the day we went or indefinitely. There's plenty of parking - I know it says "permit only" but I think that applies to weekdays only when classes are in session.

I had just finished my shift at work nearby and wondered if there were any good saltwater stores nearby. I searched on Yelp and found this place. The store is run in a townhome and the only way you would know about it is by word of mouth or looking online, so it truly is a hidden gem ;). Jason was fantastic! He has a nice little setup that has one of the most amazing collection of corals I've seen in a compact space. If you're an sps guy like me, then this is the place to go to. He also has a nice variety of lps and softies. All of the corals are in great health and are thriving. I bought with confidence! Jason also has amazing prices on his selection of livestock and dry goods so it really is hard to complain about anything. He was really accommodating on my visit and made sure to answer any questions I had. If there is something that isn't there and you would like to get your hands on, just let him know and he will get it for you. I can't believe I drove by this place so many times without taking the time to drop by. I'm really glad I found this place as I will be back very soon for another splurge! It is hard to leave this place without wanting to buy something! Thanks Jason! Edit: also a tip, it would be a good idea to give him a call before arriving to see if he is available to open shop as he is in and out of shop sometimes.
