Burritos (both breakfast and lunch/dinner options) are phenomenal. Don't plan to go inside, I'm pretty sure it's drive-through only. Very popular spot for rush-hour and lunch-hour traffic, so plan accordingly!

The butterfly enclosure is really cool, however it's way more than just butterflies! You can hold a tarantula (Rosie), pet a starfish, and play on the nature-themed indoor playground. I would especially recommend this place for any families with kids under 10!

This is our kids' favorite hike! It winds through a valley with plenty of shade, criss-crossing a stream that has very large, flat-top boulders to walk across. Super easy hike. You can't get lost. There aren't any great views at the top, but it's still one of our hiking staples.
