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. From the venue floor, to the pinball games on the second floor (with casino games and setup as WELL.. gotta bring in your own dealers etc. for that), a mic and music setup with popped popcorn for our guests.. oh did I also mention there's a whole DINER that you can rent and have your caterers make shakes and floats?! 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. Junior and The Great Highway staff are so hospitable I wouldn't hesitate to refer anyone here or even throw next year's party here ..

I am not a huge fan of indoor playgrounds because they are usually dirty and parents dont watch their kids. This place is not like that at all. First its spotless, they even make the kids wash their hands when they enter! The area where the parents sit to watch is directly in front of the play structure so you can have eyes on the kids all the time. Of course when you arrive for the first time you have to fill out a waiver. Which is understandable, what makes this place different is instead of my twins standing there while I fill out the waiver amd try to keep them under control, one of the amazing staff members asked if it would be ok for the kids to go in. FANTASTIC! Obviously this wouldnt work with smaller children but my twins were able to go in, take off their shoes, wash their hands and start playing before I even paid. This is such a blessing. After I paid and they explained the rules about food and water and where to eat AND then another staff member showed me where my kids shoes were and where I could be watching them. The staff is so incredibly nice and the place is super clean. I was so impressed. My boys played for over two hours and even made a friend. We will definitely be back !!!
