"It is truly an oasis! \nThe 11,000 sq. ft. building houses desert critters, exhibits, environmental classes for children and adults and a gift store that sells Seeds of Change! Lots to do for the kiddos. \nThere was even a \"Meet and Greet\" the animals class going on when we were there. The staff are very friendly and helpful. \nFour miles of paved and dirt trails for walking, hiking and even biking paths intertwine the park. Plenty of trees for shade. \nFishing with an urban permit is allowed. Just don't know what the maximum you can keep.\nNo jungle gym around. Just a little pony wall for the kids to walk and balance on. They still had a blast!\nThe Ramadas are open for reservations. I would say they hold about 30-50 people. \nCheck this place out and don't forget to go online for class schedules."^^ . "3"^^ . "2011-05-11T00:00:00"^^ .
