The actors where fun and engaging and wow could they sing. The most magical moment is when santa shows up and the fact that he spends one on one time with every child is worth it. Is there room for improvement absolutely. The set up before getting on the train is just thrown together and you don't feel like you're at the north pole at all. The gift shop feels like a last minute idea, again just thrown together. If my kids weren't so young this probably would have not been worth it but they are and still believe in the magic of Christmas so it worked for us this year. Plenty of parking Bathroom is quite a ways away from the train so make sure to go before heading toward the train. Tickets are a little pricey in comparison to the value of event. If it weren't for the actors one on one engagement with our little ones and santa this would have been a flop so kudos to every single one of the performers for truly making the whole experience.

There are model trains, and a vast train library on one side, on the other side, pictures, lanterns, tickets and all kinds of stuff relating to trains going back decades. If you are a fan of history or trains, I think you will enjoy this. There was also a very nice staff member inside who chatted with us for awhile and told us about some of the movie and TV productions that have been done around Fillmore and Santa Paula relating to trains. If its a train, chances are it was filmed around there. Did ya know Throw Momma from the Train was done there? Neither did I! It was fun to talk to him and learn about the upcoming RailFest they are having March 27th and 28th. you can learn more about that here http://www.scrvrhs.com/ Oh, and one of the most amazing things, this museum is FREE!

An adorable man named Kenny was operating the model trains that occupy about a quarter of the space…read moreas we arrived, just about closing time. Kenny proceeded to talk our ears off for over an hour! He told us all about the area, the agriculture, the filming that takes place, his time in the service (he was a veteran of Japan, Korea, and the Middle East back in the 60s or something), his opinions about the high speed rail, and his knowledge of the highways all over the West. All we saw of the museum was the model train set and Kenny so I can't really speak much about it, but the place gets 4 stars just because of him. May we all be in such good shape if we ever live to be his age, whatever that may be.

Who doesn't want to shoot at zombies while on a moving train? You ride the train for about 15 minutes to a field full of zombies. I suppose there could be more zombies but they had about 8 which I thought was a fair amount. Most of the zombies did come close enough so you could actually shoot them (and trust me, we all went crazy lol). A few were too far away but you could still hit their barriers! The actual shooting time was pretty long too, we probably went by the zombie field 10 times! Yes, you have to pay for extra ammo but hey I think it was totally worth it lol. Not sure why everyone seems to hate this train. It was a totally unique and fun experience. I'm pretty sure my boyfriend and I will do it again in October!

Not as expected. For $50, you would think you get unlimited ammo. But nope,. Around 240 rounds…read more Then they have the audacity to charge $5 for another set of 100 rounds. I counted 9 zombies on the field. Some are standing so far from the train it would be impossible to hit them. Some are just standing there, covering their crotch area, while some are actually playing the zombie role with their hands up. Don't be fooled about the 2 hours. More than half of that time is spent sitting inside the hot cabin that doesn't have a working a/c. It was fun when our group finally get to go out and shoot, but again, not enough paintball. Plus they walk around with a tip bucket?? Please. The only thing that made it worth it is the little girl with the scary costume who never broke character. She walked around entertaining the bored guests. Don't waste your money next year. What a ripoff!

However, only two…read morestars for the part over at Central Park in Fillmore It's like trying to learn a new board game; the rules don't make sense of you haven't played before. We went to Bennett's first, then back to Fillmore, arriving just past 3:00. The festival was supposed to last until 5:00. We were hungry and looking forward to trying some BBQ. Not to be. There were a plethora of trailers with barbeque teams from Bakersfield and other far-flung places, but no one seemed to be cooking anything. Okay. We walked around the area with various booths and didn't see many food options. There weren't any signs about how it worked, and no one to readily ask, either. Dear Hubby was getting annoyed, because it was confusing, plus he was ready to eat. We finally found an unmarked booth where we were able to get info. Apparently, all the grill masters came in for a BBQ competition, but only 3 were offering food for sale. Huh?! You had to buy tokens for $2 a piece, which got you a small taste of some of the meats, like pulled pork or chicken. One of the 3 booths had already sold out, so it was down to 2. There weren't other complimentary options like roasted corn, or other usual festival food. So odd! Overall, it was disappointing. Maybe the organizers shouldn't bill it as lasting from 9 to 5, when there's not much available by 3 p.m. There was free parking, and a DJ playing music in front of City Hall, but the energy level was pretty low key.

The long and winding road to Sow a Heart Farm goes like this - doctor recommends I give up dairy…read morefoods / we try vegan cuisine at Sage Bistro & hear about Owner Mollie's farm in Fillmore / Sow a Heart turns up on the Ventura County Farm Day list! Of course we were going to check it out. Perfectly, we had our three year old granddaughter with us, and this farm venue was perfect for her. Once we parked she immediately found the Children's Garden / play area. Swings, slides, an airplane-inspired teeter-totter, a wooden train to explore, trampoline, and much more awaited her energy. The play structures weren't fancy, but the kids were having a great time. The host asking guests to check in explained all the activities going on at different venues. Guided tours happened several times during the day. Visits to the animals were encouraged. We checked out "Spike the Tortoise" in his custom enclosure, and a playful litter of kittens in their own space. We also caught a tactor-drawn hay ride for an overview of the farm animals' area, plus row crops, and much more to see in a peaceful setting. They are only open to the public on certain days, but we were told that private tours may be arranged. If you have the chance to visit, I'd definitely recommend it! And now I can't wait to go back to Sage Bistro and enjoy more dairy-free foodie taste adventures.

*** CSA Box #3 *** I…read morehad high hopes for this, our third CSA box. It was the mid price point between the two boxes that we had previously tried (County Line Harvest #1 & Edible Gardens LA #2 - see respective reviews) so I thought maybe it would be the winner. Also, it's from the farm that is owned by the the family behind Sage Organic Vegan Bistro, which is in my opinion the best Vegan restaurant in Los Angeles. I thought it was pretty cool to learn that they have their own farm supplying produce to their restaurants, and that we were able to get CSA boxes from their farm. To order this farm box, you must place an order by 4 pm on Thursday for Friday delivery (via their website). $50 is inclusive of delivery. If you opt to pick it up yourself, it's still $50. My order arrived some time between noon and 1 pm on Friday (I did not receive an email or text, but I know that it showed up some time in that window based on when I checked the doorstep). The box was large and I laid the contents out on my counter as I always do: 2 Leeks 1 Head of Cauliflower 1 Head of Cabbage 2 Heads of Broccoli 3 Tomatoes 2 Small Boxes of Cherry Tomatoes 4 Avocados 4 Lemons 2 Grapefruit 11 Oranges Lacinato Kale 4 Cucumbers 3 Beets 1 Small Bag of Peppers 4 Carrots Romaine Fresh Mint A couple days later, the vegetables that we have yet to consume are already wilting or browning; with the others, it felt like we had cut out the time and middle man between the farm and the grocery stores, but not the case here. One of the lemons was even a little moldy when it arrived. We determined that the fruit & produce is not any fresher than what we get at Whole Foods (and in some cases even a little less fresh, which we can't quite wrap our heads around) and the quality also about the same. Not bad, just not on the same level as the other CSA boxes that we got, and definitely not worth $50.
