@red_bluff_river_airbnb is right on the Sacramento River and has some of the best sunrises I’ve seen in a long time! 😍 🦃 Wild turkeys roam the yard, natural light floods in from every angle, and seasonal fruits grow in front of the house! Sit back and relax in a claw foot tub with beautiful river views right in the backyard. 🌲 Or chill in the living room while still feeling surrounded by nature. @red_bluff_river_airbnb offers a comfortable and unique place to stay if you’re heading to the Redding area. Here are a few exciting things we did when we stayed with them! - @reitersbakery - Quaint bakery in Red Bluff. - @yaksonthe5 - Awesome burgers on the 5! - @turtlebay_redding - Great museum! - Hedge Creek Falls in Dunsmuir - McCloud Falls - Sundial Bridge in Redding One thing that makes this Airbnb super unique is its lack of blinds! The owners want you to feel connected with nature during your stay. But don’t worry, the house is surrounded by nature and dense trees for privacy! 😂 . . . . . . . . . . . . #discovercalifornia #californianature #ilovecalifornia #naturewalk #naturewalks #californialiving #naturephotography #naturetherapy #natureview #natureloversgallery #nature_addict #beautifulnaturepic #visitcalifornia #californiadaily #outdoorsphotography #hellocalifornia #capturecalifornia #californialandscape #explorecali #californiatravel #caliinviteyou #welcometocalifornia #californiainfluencer #bayareainfluencer #travelinfluencer

I let my assumption of it using the word turtle…that I would see more then 2. Is this a cool thing to do with kids, yes. Should you spend 4 hours here for your moneys worth, yes. The cost is around the same amount I would pay for a zoo with 2x the animals. So I do think the price is a bit stiff. The building itself didn’t have much animal wise to see. Thus assuming that’s the museum part? But it’s called Exploration park? Which the park (play grounds) is attached to the museum an only accessible via museum tickets. So it shouldn’t show up as a separate google maps pin an parents assume it’s just a park to go to. That being said. The staff were all wonderful. The animal show was cool. We loved that they walked the animals close by. Highly recommend if your child can sit for 35 mins an not move nor eat. Bathrooms, ✔️ There are two play areas an unfortunately people do not know how to read signs. There was a family with larger teens throwing water bottles an jumping in the toddler baby section with their parents. Leaving the area unfortunately unsafe to let the little kids explore safety. There needs to either be a larger more obvious sign or a staff member. The parrot feeding was super cool. Respect the staff an what they say. If you know your kids can’t handle direction don’t set them up for failure an walk them inside. The map they give makes it seem like it’s massive an large when it’s really small an the font is hard to read. We missed tons due to time an unsure of where to go.
