ZOOMARS

Do you remember when you were growing up and visiting a petting zoo? I do, my parents loved connecting with nature and always took us to traveling petting zoo’s around our home.  Well recently we discovered ZOOMARS in San Juan Capistrano, it is a fantastic place to visit with your family or have a birthday party or playdate. 

ZOOMARS is a permanent petting zoo, which is conveniently located next to the train stop in San Juan Capistrano. They have a great variety of animals to get up close and personal with. 

Our kids ages 6 and 2 loved visiting ZOOMARS, we were there for almost the entire day enjoying all they have to offer. From riding a train {my son’s favorite} to gold panning {my daughter’s favorite} to cuddling with guinea pigs and rabbits {the most fun and relaxing} we also got to pet goats, ponies, see a zedonk {in case you’ve never seen one it is the combination of a donkey and a zebra}, llamas, pigs, chickens, emu {love this bird} and the beautiful pheasants.

As you can see we had lots of fun at ZOOMARS!

It is now Spring in Southern California and when I think of Spring I automatically think of reconnecting with nature and that is what ZOOMARS is all about! They also are hosting several special events to celebrate Spring!

On Saturday April 7^th they will be hosting a Bunny Brunch in which you will get to enjoy old fashioned pancakes for breakfast with my favorite side: sausage. This event will also have photographer Lauren Johnson taking FREE pictures with Peter Cottontail. How adorable is that? For more detailed information on this special event click here
