I fell a couple of times (a little rusty!) and the employee was quick to come and ask me if I was okay and even helped me get up.

Got an IT job somewhere and learned more in less than a year by my self than the two years plus I spent here. I'm not even in IT anymore.

I don't even know what to say except stay away from this "college". It is a complete waste of…read moremoney, and IS NOT all it is hyped up to be. All they care about is the money, and not the students. I needed my diploma and other certifications they had of mine for a job, and they almost didn't give it to me because my large chunk of money I owed the school wasn't paid off. Ridiculous. I could have my RN by now had I stayed away from this place. I'm now 20k in debt for a program that A) I can't even transfer my credits out and B) is honestly about equal to high school classes. The only classes that were helpful in my program were my medical terminology, CPR and clinical classes. Most of the teachers, except for a select few, are awful and teach you by literally reading out of a textbook. The financial aid staff are very rude, and they don't really help you find a job as promised. Most of the classes you take are not very necessary (depending on your program) and are more of a "take these so the college gets more money" classes. Also, I barely even used the books that cost me a large chunk of $$ as well. I learned 10x more in the first month I started working as an MA from the doctor I worked for, than I did in 2 years at empire. I regret going here, and often think about suing them to pay back my student loans.... I now work as an LVN and graduated from empire in 2017 with my MA AA. Save your money, and go through the JC or Sonoma state where you actually will learn something, and have a better path/connections to your future.

There are different events that happen monthly and every holiday. I forgot what this specific event was called. Maybe a back to school or something with the school theme where they had giant yearbooks as a photo prop. That was hella cool. There events where you may have a chance to meet some of the talented artists on the Schultz team. Very family orientated and so much fun for kids AND adults creating art and memories. There is a ice rink available year round equipped with a dining area! A must visit for all Snoopy lovers!

I feel very lucky to have a place like the Children's Museum of Sonoma County right here in Santa…read moreRosa! There are so many fun, hands-on activities and special events for kids, which makes a membership absolutely worth it. We especially love the extra-large Light-Brite, water play area, and art room, but there is SO much more to explore. Totopia is also fantastic if you have little ones under 3--it's such a great space for them to play and explore. My only complaint is that the museum can get pretty crowded, so I definitely recommend getting there early if you want a little more space to enjoy everything. I'm also really excited and grateful that they are planning to expand the museum, which will create more exhibit space and hopefully help with the crowds.

This is a non-profit children's museum in Sonoma county in Santa Rosa. It's fun for all ages…read moreespecially if you're a kid at heart. It's centrally located in town and very close to the Charles Schultz (Peanuts/Snoopy) museum which is pretty well known. Pluses: - fun for all ages, but especially the littles both indoors and outdoors. - pretend play areas indoors including a dentist office and a medical clinic and a fast diner. All 3 were a hit w/my kids. - lots of other hands on activities inside to include a treehouse where kids can load apples and send them up and down baskets, my kids love that when they were little. - very popular air launchers to shoot wind spinners. - a huge manual pinball machine that is super fun, my kids never tired of making the pinball launch over and over. - a miniature train set that goes around, it's on the 2nd floor. - plenty of outdoors activities and play areas. - a little stream for water play, little kids love that. - a real life former medical helicopter (a bit random, but still cool). - a climbing structure, and a few other play areas also. - so many ways to tire your kids out, guaranteed a good nap on the way home and they'll prob sleep a lot that night. Minuses: - The building indoors is really quite packed. The different features are each thoughtfully designed and very nice and colorful, but it can get crowded here. - Pretty expensive admission. We got a discount, but I think their prices have increased. All in all, a great little place and good for creative play for kids maybe up to like 5th-6th grade at most, but best for 9 or younger probably.

Each person took 10-15 min to exchange their cards and coins to points. It's literally the dumbest machine ever invented. I do not recommend the arcade. Brad B if this is true, then train your staff better because we asked twice if there was a faster way. Why give out tokens? Just put everything on a card and then just swipe it!!! We had to watch the machine count backwards from 7000, 3000 and 2000 AFTER all the cards and tokens were put in (it took a while).

Met a sweet teenager boy who while we waited for an air hockey table to get free (the one we swiped our card on got charged but did not throw up the disc), without us even realising charged his table for us and presented us with a disc. Enjoyed playing the game and many more. ** Some of the machines in the arcade are not working properly, they charge the card but show an error post that. That leads to wasting of credit on the card. Happened thrice with us on that same day. There is a nice and well stocked prize vault that provides kids' toys, souvenirs in exchange for tickets (electronic now) earned, that also is a nice and seamless experience. The bowling experience was great as always though running very busy, it being a Sunday evening. The Epicentre game on arcade is a nice place to be at for some fun, excitement, adrenaline rush, beer, pizza, snacks. Recommended :)

The fried pickle spears were lightly breaded and were deliciously tender. The onion rings were crunchy and sweet, giving a nice contrast to the La Toxica Burger. We got the burger medium rare, it was topped with pepper jack, grilled onions, and a jalepeño stuffed with cream cheese. The Hawaiian bun was sweet and fluffy, which my baby enjoyed. The patty was very juicy and flavorful.

Howarth Park is truly one of Santa Rosa's gems! It's amazing how much this park has to offer, and…read morethere really is something for everyone. Families can enjoy the large playground, with climbing structures and slides. There are also paid attractions, which are seasonal. My family has enjoyed the miniature train and carousel, plus pony rides and the Animal Barn, where kids can meet and pet the animals. Then there's beautiful Lake Ralphine, where you can fish or rent paddleboats, kayaks, and canoes. The lake is also a peaceful place to sit, enjoy the scenery, and watch the wildlife. For those who like to stay active, Howarth has miles of hiking, walking, jogging and biking trails, with connections toward Spring Lake and Trione-Annadel State Park. There are also tennis and pickleball courts, which are currently under construction. It's also a wonderful place for birthday parties, picnics, field trips, summer camps and group activities. And I love that you can have a completely free, relaxing day walking the trails, enjoying the playground or having a picnic, or add some of the paid attractions for an extra-special family outing. Whether you're looking for outdoor exercise, family fun, nature, fishing, boating, playground time, or just a beautiful place to spend the day, it's hard to beat having all of that in one park
