Great volunteers, very knowledgeable about all the animals…read more On August 17, 19, was free adoption day called clear the shelter and save a pet at this no kill shelter. What a great turn out, so many people who hopefully will provide a great home. They had dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, roosters and even horses. Normal fees are around $50 for adoptions, today that feel was waived. The savings could go towards the pet supplies.

Staff was very pleasant and friendly which made the donation process timely and efficientread more

My wife and I have been shopping at this Goodwill location for many years and have always enjoyed…read moreour visits. Unfortunately, our most recent experience was very disappointing. As soon as we walked into the store, we noticed a significant change in the atmosphere. There appeared to be a new manager on duty, I assume we've never seen him based on his name tag it appeared to be Abraham-Manager. Unlike our previous visits, no one greeted us when we entered. What stood out even more was overhearing this individual speaking negatively about other employees near the front of the store. The cashier's response and body language made it seem like she was uncomfortable and hesitant to speak up. The overall condition of the store was also noticeably worse than what we've come to expect. It was the emptiest we've ever seen it, merchandise was scattered throughout the wrong sections, and several areas appeared messy and unorganized. The store simply did not feel welcoming, clean, or well-managed. We've supported this location for years because of the friendly staff and positive shopping experience, but this visit left us disappointed. As a result of this experience, we will no longer be recommending shopping at this location to friends and family. We hope management takes these concerns seriously and works to restore the welcoming environment that once made this store a great place to shop.

What an amazing place that I honestly didn't even know existed! The people working here are so knowledgeable and good to the cats. The girls had the best time playing with the cats as well!

This is such a loving place for these cats. Also, shoutout to ASAP for being so good with the girl scouts who visited them as well!

This Goodwill store, which opened a few days ago, replaced the Big Lots store in Camarillo…read more The space is enormous, with many clothes, shoes, electronics, books, knick-knacks, toys, and other miscellaneous items. You could spend a couple of hours perusing the aisles filled with items. Some things seem pricier, but dig deep, and you can find reasonably priced stuff! I was sad Big Lots closed, but Goodwill is an excellent choice for people like me looking for a bargain!

Way overpriced. An old faded Kirkland sweatshirt was 12.99, kids t shirts are 5.99, they mark…read morethings so high and I'm really not sure why. I see the same things week after week because no one wants to pay so much. Why not price fairly so that the inventory won't sit and get taken to the bins? The staff is friendly. A lot of the items don't have tags either so you can't purchase. I was hoping this would be a great store but I don't recommend it.

Wonderful community museum with amazing outdoor space and special events. We have enjoyed the…read morebirthday parties and pop-up events for years, so much that we were inspired to contribute. 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!

I saw a lot of promo and marketing for Kidstream children's museum on IG and FB so I thought it…read morewould be a great idea to check it out with my husband and my 19-month-old daughter. It was easy to find in Camarillo and there's a lot of parking in a private lot. Entrance is a bit awkward because you go in hallway to check in at a circular booth to get your tickets scanned (pre-purchased online) and a wristband for the day. All the employees are very nice and helped answered any questions. We arrived on a Sunday at 12:30pm (opens at 12pm on Sundays) so it was surprisingly crowded and really hot. We started off in the outdoor area and I applied sunscreen on my toddler since there wasn't too much shade in the outdoor play area. It was mostly a lot of older children and kids compared to my little one. I appreciate the different play stations so it seemed like there's a variety of activities for everyone. Some of the older kids loved sliding down the hill with cardboard but that activity can be done at the SB Zoo too, which also has a hill. My daughter loved the fox puppet so it was adorable to see her play with the campfire station and other kids + parents joining in. We also checked out the indoor room but it was super crowded and I was bumping into parents and the small lego pieces were not age appropriate for her. The smaller outdoor room from that indoor room had huge building blocks that my daughter could play but with the sun shining strong that it was just too hot to play and there was minimal shade. I think there's a lot of potential here when my daughter is older for imaginative and social play but she's too little for the museum. The membership is $150 for 2 adults + 1 toddler for future reference and you can apply visit's admission to upgrade to a membership. I like how they have a tables/chair party set up for possibly a birthday party event so that's great they can host. Interested to see how this place does in the near future!

Food Share is such an important resource and lifeline to Ventura County! The staff at the…read moredistribution center truly care about their mission, and it definitely shows through their actions. At a former job of mine, Food Share allowed the educational non-profit organization I worked for to shop weekly for fresh produce to distribute directly to elementary school students and families served in need, many of whom struggled with food insecurity. This partnership was vital, and very much appreciated by all because it helped improve food access throughout our community at wellness fairs and nutrition classes. Thank you for your hard work! I will never forget about the huge difference Food Share continues to make in countless lives throughout Ventura County, and the value they place on equity.
