        Have done this for 10 years and its a wonderful afternoon spent. The area is enclosed and safe for toddlers, and GREAT for school age kids. There are several adults in costume to help guide kids through the many Rancho activites and Crafts, most who have been doing this for years. The spirit and fun is great at this precious little jewel of a site, both historically and geographically. A great afternoon 12-4! Collapse
