This review is for Jasmine. She was so sweet and so nice and she was so helpful and taught us a lot about the animals here.

Mt kids loved visiting this place. The staff is really friendly and into letting the kids touch stuff and ask questions. We can't wait to go back. Photos are of Django the bearded dragon. She was really friendly. They have all sorts of animals there.

This recreation center is one of best kept secrets in the silicon valley. They have a full size stuffed bear (you can touch it!), like those that used to live here, lots of birds and other animals. They have snakes, spiders, turtles, frogs, alive and well, plus plenty of stuff to see and touch. Kids love it, big kids love it. Ok many schools take field trips here, but it is open to all, and is very interactive. Please check it out, they love to see kids of all ages, and i will bet you will enjoy it. It sits just above vasona lake, a nice walk up the hill. It does require a week day trip, but please check it out, it is worth the trip.
