My bf wanted to do docent-led tour, but unfortunately we showed up shortly after they closed on that Saturday afternoon (they closed at noon). We walked along the outer perimeter of the estate - hoping to get some photos, but there were some people taking photos at the front of the house, so we ended up leaving. Overall 3 stars, but rounded up to 4 stars because we did not get the full experience for a fair review.

This is one of two Light Rail stations in the 95136, and during the time I frequented it, there was ample security and plenty of parking. (I also loved that my daily fare was covered by tuition!). I'll never forget crossing over the overpass from the parking lot, seeing my train coming in from Almaden, and running down the stairs and across the platform to leap onboard before it pulled away. Those were some good times. My husband also proposed to me here in the parking lot with security looking on from the platform. (Yep, we met at the 2nd St. Station and a proposal followed at the Branham Station some 17 months later:)

The Seal World This…read moreis our second time doing this Elephant Seal Tour here at Año Nuevo and we had a great time both times--despite never catching the peak either time. The tour guides/docents are well-informed, friendly and keep the tour interesting. If you're even remotely interested in nature then this tour is highly recommended and a great thing to bring out-of-town guests to. Here's a few tips to help you plan your tour: *Plan ahead and schedule your tours early thru the Reserve California website: https://bit.ly/3HvTcn7 *Tickets are $7/per person w/ an additional $4/per "registration fee." *Tours begin in November and end in March, but peak season is mid-Jan to mid-Feb. *Wear hiking boots if possible, as you'll be marching along (possibly) wet sand for most of the tour. *While it's not a strenuous hike by any stretch of the imagination, it's going to be at least 3-4miles over a 2.5-3.5hr stretch over a semi-steep, sandy terrain. *I wouldn't recommend bringing young kids under 7ish unless they're very well-behaved and don't easily get ants in their pants. But, that's just one asshole's opinion--you do you, boo. *Technically you **CAN** do a walk-up visit but you're relying on people to no-show or cancel ahead. I wouldn't rely on it but if you're in the area and you're willing to take a chance I say go for it. *You won't particularly need binoculars, because you'll be fairly close to the seals, but if you have them they're not a bad idea. *Def bundle-up and prepare for bad weather--as they will **NOT** cancel the tour due to rain. We got pelted w/ freezing rain and they pretty much just soldiered us onwards.

BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!…read more I'm concerned that this company generates More revenue from charging people for damage, than actual rental services. There was superficial aesthetic scratches as you can see in the photo. We were told, that these tiny scratches are worth 25% of the entire cost of the part ($1400). Do you think these scratches justify 25%? In reality, it's more like 0.1% of the cost. --so how many customers will they do this to? 10? And reap a 250% return on this part? -HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS. I'm all for paying for damages but this is ridiculous. The money maker is charging customers for cumulative replacements. You're NOT SUPPOSE TO PROFIT OFF DAMAGE CHARGES. Or is that the entire point of this business? If you've been ripped off by this business, please reach out, as we may be interested in class action litigation.

Rented two Seadoo Spark jet skis from these guys from Friday to Sunday. The return process totally…read moresucked. They only have one person working on Sunday so I waited over 2.5hrs to make my return. Waited outside their gate for 40mins. Another rented was already waiting. The only person there takes 45mins to do his return inspection. After waiting for near an hour the renters in front of me finally got escorted off the property. Upon inspecting my rentals he pointed out a scratch on my jetski rental. The scratch was pretty superficial. The seadoo sparks are made mostly out of plastic and polytec unlike traditional jetskis that are made of mostly fiberglass. Fiberglass damage needs repairs to prevent more damage to the surrounding fiberglass, however, the plastic and polytec damage does not need to be repaired. The small scratch was the size of a pinky fingernail clipping from a part that was nearly the entire surface of the ski. Basically the area you would stand on. The parts price was quoted at ~$1200. His inspection required me to pay for a 1/4 of the $1200 part and 1/4 of the labor it would be to replace the part. A quarter of the price was ridiculous in my opinion. I asked if he could give me deal and give me 1/10 of the cost for parts and labor. It seemed more reasonable than paying over $300 for a scratch in some polytec/plastic that was likely intended to take some abuse. I was surprised he was even considering that small scratch as damage. It blow my mind that they would do this kind of BS to a customer. By the looks of it, this has happen before. The pictures indicate the part that would be replaced. Again, my scratch was the size of a little fingernail clipping. The part is massive in comparison to the scratch.

Technically, you cannot go into the offices but you can check out the Google store, gift shop, cafe, big art plaza, and workshops. There is free parking at the garage nearby which is a piece of art itself. You can either take the shuttle which arrives every 15 minutes or walk about 7-10 minutes to the Google canopy. Once you arrive, you'll see the different parts that you can explore. My favorite 2 things to do there is the cafe which has so many inexpensive food and drink options and also the big artwork along the plaza. Even on crowded days, the big artwork is easy to check out and take pictures. I love the big white orb which is a massive twisted, metal sculpture that looks futuristic and very cool inside and outside. The bear is cute also because it is made completely out of pennies! You won't be disappointed by the big, fun, whimsical and spectacular big art at Google. It's like a free outdoor museum. My other favorite part of the experience is the cafe. Ordering is simple and the menu changes often. The cafe uses ingredients from a lot of local farms and bakeries. It keeps the menu quite cheap as most items are under $15 and even under $10! That is unheard of nowadays. Try the potato soup and you'll thank me. It is creamy, addictive and do yourself a favor and get the big bowl. The sandwiches are top notch and they use Acme bread which is already an awesome treat. After the art, the store, the cafe; you can easily take a hike to Shoreline and check out the amazing views from the top of the hill as well. So check out the Google Visitor Experience and it has much more to offer than other Silicon Valley experiences.

It was nice and quiet, clean and signs were posted at communal areas (restrooms/sink) to remind everyone to social distance and wear a mask (however not everyone wore masks ) It was really beautiful being surrounded by the Redwood trees and fresh air! We went on a nice hike, not difficult but doable for beginners. They had a basketball court, tennis court, volleyball, soccer and baseball field to use. We brought our own basketball but I believe you can check one out at the office. It's great for all ages My only complaint and it's not against the camp at all, it's that there were so many mosquitos! So be prepared if you're like me, I ALWAYS get eaten alive !! Bring your bug spray , lotion etc.... Definitely a place to check out in the Santa Cruz Mountains.

Elkins, of the park staff was the best part of the trip. She helped us with our campfire and checked in on us across our multiple nights there. (This rating gets it's positive stars due to her hospitality!) This is a privately operated camping operation inside the big basin state park. So if you want to donate/do good for the state parks system, go for big basin redwoods state park. The firewood here is extremely expensive at $17 per 0.9 cubic feet. (compared to $5 at a safeway in the regular bay area). Even Big Basin Redwoods State Park Visitor Gift Shop had their firewood (same brand and size) for $13 so there's some clear gouging here. (-1 star) The road from Big Basin's road to Little Basin is horrible with lots of potholes for ~3 miles. (-1 star)
