The prices for retail customers are a bit ridiculous considering what they are selling. I purchased a goby and it even with slow acclimation it died very quickly. I blame myself for buying from this place and even fee guilty doing so. This is not a retail fish store. This is a place where the retailers go and understand 50% of the fish will die before resale.

Attendants were only there to make sure the balls were closed after we got inside. They were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this company.

I have a friend who only wants to meet when it's convenient for her and it's always at a playground…read morebecause hashtag: momlife, and I am starting to wonder what I am getting out of this friendship. Anyway, our recent meetup was here, which was awkward for me because I always arrive early and she always late, and when you're an awkward person to begin with and happen to be at a playground with no kids, people will probably start to notice and wonder... So I sat in my car in the hot sun on the street (no shade or lot parking here) for 15 minutes before entering this relatively small park+playground. The park side is tiny and the terrain is lumpy on purpose. Great for dogs or small humans running up hills their sizes. There is outdoor exercise equipment, picnic tables but no bathrooms. The playground itself seems typical - got the tiny kid structure and a bigger kid structure, net tunnel, slides, climbing bars, etc. that held up the weight of fully grown adults trying to pick off their kids (Sidenote: I usually take a ton of photos but because it was so crowded with minors, I thought I better not...) There is a large merry-go-round, which you don't see much of in LA or in modern times. I know because I have been to like 5 playgrounds in the last few months. That makes me an expert, dude. It was really busy on a Sunday...funday for the kids, and it's free, so parents can't complain. The park/playground seems relatively clean and new, at least the plastic equipment hasn't shown its age yet. Upon research, I have come to know that this park was completed in December 2012. Overall, cool little park if you have dogs/kids and happen to live in the area or if your friend makes you meet her here.

They don't get out enough. This was their first fishing trip. I didn't know what to expect. I thought I'd be hearing (1 hour into the trip), "Dad, I'm bored. When are we going home? Can we get off the boat?" Nope, they loved it. Lorenzo has a customized fishing boat with a top-of-the-line engine in back; a smaller engine in front (to slowly trawl the waters while fishing); a state-of-the-art fishfinder; and all the rods, hooks, and live bait (worms) that we needed. He did all the work. He taught my kids how to fish; hooked the bait; and untangled all the tangles. We caught large catfish; two smaller fish; and one humungous 6.5 lb. large-mouthed striped bass. That's right--we caught dinner. As a bonus, Lorenzo even cleaned the fish for us afterward. We'll be coming back.

Warmhearted Reptiles is a family run business. They performed at my daughter's birthday party and…read moreguests of all ages (from toddlers to grandparents) enjoyed the show and unique experience. Saul and his son were so friendly, engaging, and energetic. Their show was dynamic. They brought out the animals based on the kiddos' interests. If the kids were tired of snakes, they switched to lizards and when they were tired of those, they switched to bugs and spiders. They were as professional as they were enthusiastic. Even though little kids would go up to the stage, the father-son duo didn't skip a beat in protecting the kids and animals seamlessly. It shows that they are skilled in taking care of their animals and are genuinely passionate. In the end, even the shyest children and adults wanted pictures with the animals and I felt grateful that Warmhearted Reptiles stayed to let them do so. They took the time to let everyone have their moment. If you are looking for a reptile and bug show, do not hesitate to book them!

They introduced a wonderful variety of reptiles (and even some bugs!) in a fun, age-appropriate way that kept our little ones interested from beginning to end. You can truly tell that caring for these animals is their passion, and it was heartwarming to see it as a family affair. Saul and Kai were kind, patient, and did a rock star job interacting with both the children and our staff. All of the animals looked healthy, happy, and exceptionally well cared for. The booking process was easy and professional, and throughout the presentation we felt completely safe. They gave both the children and teachers the opportunity to gently pet the reptiles and take photos, making it a memorable hands-on experience for everyone. We were so impressed that we've already decided to make Warm Hearted Reptiles a yearly tradition for our summer program. I highly recommend them to any school, preschool, daycare, or organization looking for a fun, educational, and unforgettable animal experience!
