Cristina E.

I had a wonderful experience hosting my daughter's birthday party at Shady Oaks Farm. From beginning to end, Chelsea was friendly and very responsive. She was able to book us last minute for a Paint a Pony birthday party. The day of was seamless. Chelsea was extremely helpful and even assisted with the decorating. The barn is spacious and clean, you have a small bathroom in there as well. She set me up with two tables for guests, a food table, and a gift table. The party itself was a blast, Chelsea was great with the kids. The birthday girl and her friends brushed, painted, and bathed Princess Priscilla. They were absolutely in love, as were all the parents. It was a memorable experience for everyone. I highly recommend booking with Shady Oaks if you are looking for a unique event venue.

we had such a blast here she kept the party moving the entire time the kids had a blast painting the ponies very cute set up under a covered barn owner is very sweet! all around amazing party!!

Goats

Definitely would recommend visiting Shady Oaks Farm for some baby goat kisses. I shopped around and was super excited to find this location, which was best priced as well As being in a good central location. Chelsea was super sweet and let us play with the goats while giving us the low down on everything you need to know about goats. They also have horse tours, goat yoga and sell sweet selling lotions and soaps.

An absolute dream come true! I've always wanted to get hands on experience with horses. Having grown up nowhere near a farm, I've been intrigued by horses for seemingly forever, and getting to paint and bathe Iris, a beautiful freckled-faced mare at Shady Oaks farm was something I will never forget. Thank you, Chelsea, for sharing your knowledge and beautiful animals.

This was an absolutely thrilling g experience. My kids (9 and 5) had never experienced a horse before. I had been looking for a place to introduce the kiddos to horses in a safe manner. This ticked all the boxes. The owner was absolutely wonderful with kids and gentle with instructing them how to meet a horse in a safe manner. To quote my daughter "Best day ever." Thank you so much.

I visited to do the painting of the horse experience and had such a memorable time. I am not an artist at all, but certainly felt like one!!! The animals are cared for, Chelsea and Devan are passionate about what they do, and their knowledge is evident of all animals. It was great meeting them; they were both personable and I will recommend this to everyone! My art represents my home, Arizona This is a unique experience that you won't find anywhere else. Book it!!!!

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!

Wondering if they've stopped seasoning their meat in order to cater to the demographic here in Atascadero.... Especially the carne asada I mean apart from having so much fatty meat, it had no flavor. The service is always great too, just a little disappointing. When I'm talking about flavor, especially for $4 a taco, I expect a hint of garlic, salt, pepper, lime, etc. I expect the meat to be marinated and flavorful. Maybe they already do that, given they do sell amazing carne preparada, but the hot food just hasn't been the same for the last 3-4 times I've gone. I like supporting local mexican businesses so I continue to go but today might've been my last. I don't think I'll be driving from Slo to Suprema Meat Market for their hot food again. The cold and prepared meats are of high quality though so this review is strictly for the hot food. I understand that they need to stay competitive with the market, but the total for 5 bite sized tacos was $22.... That's insane. For $4 a taco, I just expect more. I hope they review this and implement some change! I see that the owner reached out and I appreciate his response. Maybe I'll give it a try again.

He was really great & friendly. He also was very knowledgeable about Paso Robles and answered every question that we had. There were 10 of us and we can be a little too much, but Chris was super patient with us. He went out of his way to go back to the last winery when one of the girls left her phone at there. Really appreciate him going the extra mile. The bride to be was also very happy with how everything turned out! For anyone looking to do a wine tour in Paso Robles, we highly recommend this place. If you could, also recommend Chris! He was amazing & more! Chris - thank you so much for putting up with us! We really appreciate your service today!

He worked with all my questions and gave a ton of recommendations based off what I was looking for. He gave great options for food and made all the reservations needed for the day. We were lucky enough to have Jed as our guide for the day. Pick up was on time and we went rolling on. He got us checked into the wineries and made sure we were settled and checked back to make sure we were on schedule. He was easy going even when we decided to cut the tour one winery short and grab coffee instead. He even called to cancel the reservation- super planned and thoughtful Would definitely book with Jed again if in the area.

And whether it's Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Wine Tasting, Beer and Cocktails, Shopping, Tchotkes, there's absolutely something for everyone. My favorites here in beautiful Atascadero are Amstrdm Coffee House, Atrium Mercantile, Barley and Boar, The Book Odyssey, Carbon 6, Cielo, Kula Hawaiian Kitchen and Tasting Room, Malibu Brew House, Mr. Q, Nogi, and Whiskey and June. And all within walking distance to their beautiful Sunken Gardens. Year-round they have special events at the Sunken Gardens, Atascadero Lake Park, and the Central Coast Zoo. A great way to keep up with the happenings is visitatascadero.com

Grapevines, open land, hills, oak trees, golden grass, ranch style homes, clean, paved roads leading to multiple planned out destinations surround this low key area. It feels more like a get away city for the upper class who probably own mansions in Hollywood, but this is when they want a taste of simple ranch life. Then you also have the other half which you can tell have been living here for a long time or inherited the big pieces of property. Then of course you have the still pricey locations where the middle class lives to provide services for the Atascadero residents and visitors. Sounds like the formula used in majority of California cities, but it's nicer and cleaner here. I leave this review with one of my favorite quotes, "You can sit at the dining table, but you can't touch the silverware."

During the peak months, it can almost encircle 1/3 of the Sunken Gardens Park here. Like Templeton, it is around a nice park area. It is a mixed bag, but with less selection. During peak months, one can find tons of produce, but during the late winter the selection is rather anemic & it is likely better to try one of 4 different local FM's around SLO. Templeton is the closest to this area and has a great selection. Other FM's: Saturday [best day of the week]= 1) SLO - Madonna Plaza @ 8 AM [the major one for produce] 2) Templeton Park @ 9 AM [large ] 3) Arroyo Grande - Centennial Park @12 noon [medium] 4) Morro Bay downtown street @ 2:30 PM [Craft] [medium] Monday= Baywood @ 2PM [large] Tuesday= Tank Farm Supply @ 2:30PM or Orcutt @ 10 AM [both are tiny]; or Paso downtown @ 9AM [small] Weds= 1) AG Smart & Final @ 8:30AM [medium]; 2) Atascadero @ 3PM [med.] 3) Santa Maria Town Center @ 12 noon [med.] Thursday= Downtown SLO at night @6 PM [mixed, parking is a hassle]; Thursday Morro Bay in Spencer's Lot @ 2:30 [medium+] Friday= Cambria- Veteran's Plaza at 2PM [medium; nice drive] Sat= see above. Sunday= Vandenburg Village [SB, nice drive]- "Route 1" @10 AM [small] Other options are FM's in Solvang or even in the city of Santa Barbara. This area is great for FM's in general.

Parking on the street is an easy walk and there are restrooms available in City Hall. Check it out!
