Best deal for natural hot springs on the Central Coast. All day pass for only $10/adult ($8/…read moreseniors and kids). Water flows continuously so no need for chlorine. Strong sulphur smell and algae, just like hanging out at Yellowstone NP. In fact the receptionist said their water is same underwater stream flowing from Yellowstone. We stopped by for an hour on a Tuesday so largely had place to ourselves plus 2 other regulars. Two pools connected to larger pool and a smaller standalone pool overlooking lake. 3 bathrooms for changing, with one shower. Met the owner Norman Franklin (he says he's 7th generation descendant of Benjamin Franklin). Surrounding area not much to look at, can bring own snacks and food to bbq. I didn't know about the hot springs mud so will definitely be back next time I'm in area!

This a local experience. What Yelp would categorize as "local flavor." It was a fun afternoon with…read morethe kids. The water coming out of the pipes is probably 101, but the pool is large so most of the water is around 85-90. There's a sulfur smell because it's water from a natural hot spring. The pool is gravel at the bottom and yes there is some algae. Some ducks joined in on the fun and started swimming in the pool at one point. I took some extra mud from a nice couple who had leftovers and made myself a mud mask. The kids had a blast playing with pool noodles. If you pulled onto the dirt road and saw the casual, rustic sign, kept going, parked in the dirt lot, walked in and got pissed because you didn't get a five star spa experience for $10, that's your bad.

Savannah at Sweet Escapes was wonderful to work with for a special pastry order for my tea party…read more She created a beautiful assortment of macarons, tartlets, scones, and financiers that were not only stunning to photograph but absolutely delicious. From start to finish, Savannah was kind, professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure every detail was perfect. Her talent and attention to detail truly shine through in her work. I highly recommend Sweet Escapes for anyone looking for exceptional pastries and outstanding customer service. I can't wait for an opportunity to work with Savannah again!

Another escape room adventure and another great time as we hit up Sweet Escapes today for some…read moreescape action and of course a little treat at the end. This is a unique place as it's 3 escape rooms inside of a very good bakery so you can have your cake and eat it to. We were greeted right away upon arrival and got started, we tackled all 3 of their rooms and were not only successful on all 3 but made the leaderboard for one. Here's a quick breakdown of the rooms. Academic Misconduct is very well setup and the rooms flows well. It can be a little difficult with the lighting in the room but we figured it out, they had some unique puzzles too that we really enjoyed. Confectionary Conspiracy is a very unique room, we haven't really done anything like it. There were some great puzzles, very immersive atmosphere and just a very well put together room. Sorro Bay is terrific, it was my favorite of the day the way the room progressed and the combination of puzzles and tricks in that room. It combined a lot of unique elements and added up to a ton of fun. The rooms were fantastic, if you haven't visited I highly recommend you do. Savannah was our GM and she's one of the best we've ever had. The way she presents the rooms is so great and she had us laughing through the day. Savannah is the kind of employee all escape rooms should strive for. Ending note, the macarons were delicious, we had the PB&J and Neapolitan ones and they were so so good.

We came here with Scouts for a private program and overnight camping adventure. What a special…read moreexperience! The staff here were so friendly and knowledgeable, their love of the rescue animals came through to how they shared this with us and the large group of kids. Programming might be unique but we had meet and greet of various animals, a night hike at a ranch next door, and tent set up / camping overnight. Lots of rare animals including kangaroos, bald eagles, capybara, spider monkey, python, etc Unique up close experiences including feeding kangaroos bread and bananas, feeding capybara corn and lettuce, holding a tarantula, petting a porcupine, alligator, river otters hunt for live fish, etc Facilities included clean bathroom/shower, kitchen area with running water, fridge, grill, fire pit, shaded central hang out area with couches, picnic tables, kids games, and parking. Also super kid friendly with sand play area, train ride. Also two onsite "tents" Highly recommend checking this out - does require a booking. Note that a single family can book for a private experience.

I brought my fiancée to Paso Robles for the animals (not the wine) to celebrate her 30th birthday…read more This was 100% the best animal experience we've ever had. Spoiler-wise - I was very happy that I did not read too many reviews prior to our visit. The surprise of meeting each animal was a delight, and probably would not have been as joyful if I knew what to expect or was expecting to meet a specific animal that was not part of the tour. Don't read further if you'd like to have a similar experience as us! *** We arrived early and were immediately greeted by Lisa, an animal caretaker veteran who runs the rescue with her husband. I obviously did not do enough research because I expected more guests, but quickly realized that it was just our small group of 2. Lisa purposely keep tours to a smaller group to reduce stress to the animals. Lisa was incredibly knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and clearly passionate about her work. She made us feel comfortable right away, and tailors the tour based off her observations of us, the guests. We interacted with owls, a hawk, river otters, a talking raven, teenage capybaras, an elder spider monkey, a sloth, a laughing kookaburra, an armadillo, a ruffled lemur, and many more critters! Each animal interacted with us on their own accord. She never forced an animal to do something they did not want to. After the tour, she welcomed us to explore the facilities and we saw some warthogs, eagles, and a fennec fox. All I can say is that the price was worth it! My childhood dreams of being a zookeeper fulfilled.

At night time, all the pretty lights come on!

Such a fun experience at Santa Margarita Ranch Ziplining! The adventure honestly starts the minute…read moreyou arrive. You check in at the main office downtown, then hop on a tour bus to the ranch property. Our driver was super informative and entertaining along the way. The drive itself felt like part of the experience with bumpy ranch roads, multiple gates, gorgeous scenery, and a real behind the scenes feel of the property. Once you arrive, the staff gets you geared up with all the safety equipment and everyone was incredibly friendly, professional, and great with all ages. After gearing up, you take an old Army style jeep up the mountain and that ride alone was an adventure Super rickety, steep, and fun! We felt very safe the entire time because before every single zip line, the staff carefully checked everyone's safety gear and connections. There are 6 zip lines total and each one is different with spectacular views that change throughout the course. One thing to know is that you should be in reasonably good shape because there are mini hikes between some of the zip lines. There are lots of water stations along the course, which was great, but the experience is definitely active and you do not want to hold up the group. Totally worth it though and such a memorable Central Coast adventure for families, couples, teens, and adventurous kids!

As a horse owner myself, I was a little skeptical going into a two-hour trail ride while I was…read morevisiting, but it ended up being such an enjoyable experience. It was nice to simply relax, turn off my brain, and enjoy the ride without worrying about anything else. My horse had a fun, spunky personality that reminded me so much of my own gelding back home, which made the experience even more special. The trail took us through beautiful rolling hills, vineyards, and areas full of wildlife, making for some incredible scenery. Our guide, Brian, was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly cared deeply about the horses and their well-being. The ranch also provided thoughtful extras like cold water, sunscreen, and bug spray, which were very appreciated on a warm day. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, scenic trail ride with well-cared-for horses.

Moving through the hall, you can already feel a sense of peace settling in. I love that they offer purified water at the base of the stairs -- with the option to add mineral salt if you choose (my personal fav!). At the top of the stairs, the beautiful loft space opens up as the main room. Sunlight pours through the windows, illuminating another collection of thriving plants, each brimming with prana, or life force energy. Step into the heated room and you'll find warm, welcoming lighting, a fun disco ball overhead, and the gentle warmth of infrared heating panels. Every prop you could need is provided -- and there's enough for everyone. The teachers are all incredible in their own unique ways. Dharma offers the most comprehensive class schedule in North County SLO, with start times ranging from 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., seven days a week. The owner, Jena, is a truly special soul whose calming, present energy is felt the moment you meet her. The love and intention she's poured into this space is woven into every detail. Downstairs, there's a lovely wellness lounge featuring an array of healing modalities and a space for other practitioners to host workshops -- from Reiki trainings to massage to bio-tuning and beyond. The class variety is just as rich: from sweat-inducing, kick-your-butt Inferno Pilates to deeply gentle restorative yoga; from classic Hatha to candlelit flow and stretch classes taught by instructors from all walks of life. Dharma Yoga Loft is something truly special in Paso Robles -- a town that's still relatively sleepy to the conscious community. Jena has created a space that honors those ideals while remaining inviting and welcoming to everyone, whether or not they're already tuned in to higher frequencies. I cannot say enough good things about Dharma, it's truly a gem!
