Zoomars at River Street Ranch

We're one of a kind and hay bales of fun. We're good times, friendly animals and the happiest folks you'll ever meet. For the past 30 years our little zoo has charmed more than three million visitors

Old San Juan Capistrano is such a beautiful quiet place and the weather seems almost perfect for a family outing we use to take the kids to the petting zoo and did we have fun kids went crazy feeding the animals . The whole town is so lovely with trees and trails and low density buildings you can walk around to all the near by sites and the old mission is close . love this town .

The 19th hole was my favorite spot of the day! Actually this course is a really fun and sometimes challenging course to play! Greens are maintained well and all the staff are super friendly. The views are gorgeous as well. The only thing I'm not too keen on is having the driving range across a busy street. Other than that the place is spectacular. The grill serves really great food and drinks and service is very good too!
