As we all get older, we create bucket lists. My wife and I sat down and put together a bucket list…read more One of her items which she considered to be a simple one was for us to go horseback riding. She had been horseback riding as a kid and really wanted to relive that experience with me. I on the other hand had never been on a horse before. I didn't want to tell her that I was feeling nervous or that I had some concerns about getting on a horse. But I did tell the lady who owns the farm privately and she helped me get comfortable. She helped select the horses from my wife and I, and although my wife had experienced as a child, the owner stated our older bodies are much different now and she picked a nice gentle horse for my wife and I. She took extra time to show me how to properly sit on the horse, keep my feet in the stirrups and hold onto the reins. In talking with friends they explained at most farms you normally get led by a human being around the circle a couple of times and that's horseback riding. At Spring Tide Farm they took us out and we rode the horses! The owner was a patient woman who was so kind to her animals as well as us humans. She explained she's been doing this for 50 years and the horses are like her children. She explained that her love for horses, not only extends to her horses, but those that she boards. The time seem to fly by, my wife and I had a great experience together. Time for the next thing on our list.

Staff was great. I forgot her name but really she was great…read more I went with 3 friends to cook Thai. We get Thai takeout, and I was excited about learning the specifics of a good pad Thai and fresh summer rolls. The pad Thai recipe was simply not tasty. I brought most of it home and my husband didn't complain, but really, it wasn't great. May be because they use no nuts, which is great for most families. But also, it didn't have any bean sprouts in it, it just wasn't good at all. We also made chicken satay that I have already made again, and that was pretty good. However, I learned how to use rice sheets and make summer rolls which was wonderful. I made different ones when I went home but they were a huge hit. Huge. Lots of fun to hear about them and how to most easily handle them. To me, it was like when I originally heard how to handle puff pastry, or phyllo sheets or make my own sushi. We had a great time, it was expensive, but it is a luxury and it was a great time. Everyone had fun. Their staff was just amazing though.

Joelle and Meri give wonderful care and will love your children like their own. For new parents especially, Cedar St. Kids takes the anxiety out of leaving your child with someone else.

Joelle helped us out with our first when we were both working longer hours and the flexibility was greatly appreciated. Your children will be safe, loved, and happy here.

If I could give this place a zero, I would. My daughter's…read morefirst day at camp was traumatic to say the least. I called three times before the start of camp to get a tour, my son had worked there two summers so I assumed my daughter would feel comfortable as well, but never got a call back. I was told there was a pool, and kids would be taking swimming lessons- so I asked about her float vest and was told it was ok; her first activity was at the pool and they made her take her floatie off which scared her. The changing rooms are dark and she was afraid to go in alone. Someone stole items from her lunch.... And in the world of a five year old that was enough, but unfortunately the list goes on. I called and talked to someone claiming to be an executive, and instead of hearing me out and trying to figure something out - I was constantly interrupted and talked over. It was completely unprofessional. Transitions for children can be difficult, but this camp is more concerned with making money than caring for children.

Einstein's Workshop is a creative kid's dream. It's basically an indoor play area, filled with…read morecreative type toys, as well as a computer room where every kid plays, you guessed it, Minecraft. - There are lego tables, tables for Kinex toys, others whose names I forget. Two ramps for testing out lego car creations. A 3D printer, printing stuff. Neat room. Off to the side are other classrooms or private rooms for parties. The kids mainly hung out in the main room working on legos, and others stayed on Minecraft for the whole time. - My one caveat was that it's very boy-oriented stuff. The girls we took didn't find much interest in legos or Minecraft. So, they weren't that thrilled to be there. - There is a 3D scanner in an adjacent building; you can have your body scanned and turned into a 3-D sand sculpture. Creepy/cool! -

At the end of the week I asked him to rate his experience on a scale of 1 to 10. His answer - 'infinity!' Next up - I'll be signing him up for a Mindcraft/into to electronics class. Can't recommend this place highly enough.
