Happy Hollow is such a fun place for families with young kids! If you have little ones, this is a…read moregreat park to spend the day. There are so many rides designed just for younger children, and my son had a blast exploring everything. Our absolute favorite was the helicopter ride where you pedal to make your helicopter fly higher into the air. It was such a unique ride, and he couldn't stop talking about it! The outside play area was also much bigger than we expected and was adorable. It gave the kids plenty of space to climb, explore, and burn off energy. The petting zoo was another fun stop, and we loved the cute sand digging station next to the tortoise exhibit. While the animal exhibits aren't as large or extensive as some bigger zoos, the variety of rides and play areas more than makes up for it. Happy Hollow is really the perfect mix of a zoo and an amusement park for younger children. They also have a full café with plenty of options, including pizza, snacks, ice cream, and even healthier choices, so it's easy to spend the entire day without leaving the park. The only downside during our visit was that I wish more of the rides had been open. Even so, we had a wonderful time and are already planning another visit. Next time we'll arrive earlier so we can enjoy even more of what the park has to offer. Overall, it's a fantastic family destination, and we'll definitely be back!

Danny the Dragon and the rollercoaster ride were down for maintenance which sucked -- my oldest was most excited for these ones, we've never been before but in every video he's come across these are known as the "not to miss rides" He did however, enjoy/love all other rides which is the main reason for the 3 star review. Most animal enclosures/exhibits were covered. We saw no more than 10 animals here during our visit. My son was surprised this was called a "zoo" lol. It was super disappointing. The goat petting area was appreciated, it did keep my kids entertained for a bit. It was pretty busy for a Thursday but lines for the open rides moved quickly. The playground however, does get full quickly lol. It was a hit for my kids as well. Food: you're better off packing your own snack/lunch. It's self serve and quick which is appreciated but let's be honest, the quality was horrible. The cheeseburger was so hard to eat even my husband was disgusted. He had the grilled chicken sandwich and said it was "okay" My kids had macaroni and cheese, it was Kraft so couldn't mess up there lol. Pricing is also ridiculous but expected. We paid $60 for 2 burgers, 2 fries, 2 Mac and cheeses Overall, probably wouldn't return, it was an hour drive and just not worth it with all the closed down things, wish they mentioned this on the website -- only the rides are referenced

For the price, it's definitely a little gem in Palo Alto. Having a little young, I didn't even know…read morethat Palo Alto had this zoo but we decided to take a trip one day to come check it out. You have to make a reservation I'm guessing so it doesn't get overpacked. As soon as you enter, there's a ton of indoor activities for the little. There's a dino area right outside and then on the other side is where the zoo part is. There's not a ton of animals but the animals that are there were pretty active when we were there. There was a tortoise, birds, rabbits, fish, flamingos that we actually got to feed and a few others that I'm forgetting. Again, not huge but it was enough that we probably spent about a good 2 hours there. After that, there's also a park right behind it so if your kiddos aren't tired already, they can burn off some energy there. If we lived closer, I would consider getting a pass but for now, we'll do some day trips there

We recently took our son to the Palo Alto Junior Museum & Zoo and had a great time overall. It's…read moreone of those places that's perfectly designed for younger kids. There's a little bit of everything, from hands-on science exhibits to animals, climbing structures, and the dinosaur garden. What I appreciated most was how interactive everything was. The exhibits encourage kids to touch, build, experiment, and play rather than just look at things. The zoo itself is small, but that's actually part of the appeal when you're visiting with young children. We saw flamingos, meerkats, rabbits, and other animals without having to spend an entire day walking around a massive zoo. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it was incredibly crowded. It felt like every exhibit had a cluster of kids around it, and it was sometimes hard for my son to get a turn or really engage with certain activities. I understand it's a popular destination, but the crowds definitely took away from the experience a bit. That said, it's easy to see why so many families love this place. It's clean, well-maintained, educational, and genuinely fun for young kids.

The Great Highway is a unique venue in San Carlos that features classic cars and an old-timey sock-hop-era vibe. We are obsessed.

I was born in '92 but this venue has me wishing I was around in the 50's. Roz was incredibly thoughtful and knowledgeable about how we should throw our holiday party. We brought in a third party caterer but everything else was so seamless and efficient on the ground.

This delayed review is for my experience throwing a birthday party for my son's 5th birthday in May…read moreof 2026. We had an excellent experience. We met with the manager prior to the birthday for a walkthrough of the party space, and we coordinated our group going from our party to the Lego movie after the party. I had a million questions as a detailed planner and the team were incredibly efficient at answering all of my pre questions so that I could ensure my guests had all if the information upon arrival. Ultimately, we had a 5 star experience. This is an excellent venue because your group is together for the party and then everyone can free play and explore for as long as they want afterwards. It was so delightful to see all of the kids and parents engaged in their activities of choice when the party room ended. We learned that all of our guests had a blast and many kids are still talking about our son's party to this day. This is on par price wise for the jumping birthday places, so we felt like we had a unique and fun birthday experience for about the same price as we would have paid for the standard jump birthday. We've been to 4 birthday's at the same jump house business this year, so we loved mixing it up for our guests. The facility is awesome, staff are super friendly and the experience is wonderful! At the end of our party, a super sweet employee helped us make 2 trips with their wagon to our car with gifts. She packed all of our gifts in our car and we were on our way! Such a wonderful experience end to end.

Bathrooms were clean enough. Coffee tasted decent and was $3.85. If we go next time, will try laser maze and train ride. Didn't see the train ride until after we exited.

***This review is for the week-long summer camp…read more We had a GREAT experience with Safari Run this summer. We signed our two kids up (ages 6 & 8) and they said this is their favorite camp. Pros: - Length of time / it's an all-day camp from 8:30-3:30. - Variety of activities / they stay indoors most of the day either playing in the play structure area or in the party room doing arts and crafts. However, they also have a designated area in the spacious parking lot to do activities as well so the kids do get fresh air outside. - Staff / the camp counselors are AWESOME! Super patient, friendly, and sweet to the kids. Ms. Yadira, Zoe, and Jojo need a raise. They were SO good to the kids! - Drive-thru drop-off and pick-up line / except for the first day of camp, you can use the drive-thru line for the rest of the week. Very convenient, safe, and fast since there's one staff member with the sign-out sheet and another staff member helps with loading or unloading the kids. - Communication / prior to camp, we received a detailed email that included information on timing, activities, and themes for the week. We knew exactly what to expect each day. - Photo privacy / they take photos and videos to post to their social media accounts, but if you want to opt your kids out, they honor that easily. - Snacks / two snacks were provided each day, but you bring your own lunch from home Cons: Can't think of any! This camp may not be right for older kids (the pre-teens), but for the littles, it was very fun. Highly recommend!
