Star Eco Station is a great place to visit! Had an amazing time, and the staff is very friendly! Excited to see the sloths! one of them wasnt sure if he wanted to eat or sleep :) he attempted to do both .... sleeping won.

We had a great experience visiting our first time. My toddler son was able to touch some of the animals (stick insect which he held briefly, some lizards, snakes) which was exciting for him. In addition knowing that these animals were rescued and getting their needs met is wonderful. We will definitely come back again.

Best place hands down! For everything. From just going to visit to having a party. All the staff is so knowledgeable. And the animals are there for reasons that need to known to the public. Just had my daughters 12th Birthday there and it was amazing.

It was a cool place, but the prices for any extras were way too high. To touch the sloth it was 100 bucks? The admission price is deceptively low. How bout make it 25 or 30 on top of admission? Go to Animal Tracks folks, the admission may be higher but you get to touch lots of animals and doesnt cost extra.

Took my mom and nephew here not knowing what to expect. Cool little sanctuary with nice staff but you can see everything in less than 30 minutes if you just walk through lol. We were done in about 45 minutes but it was worth it.

Four of us did the $190 Star Eco Station tour and LOVED it. We got to hang out and pet a Fennec Fox, Prairie Dog and much more. We also did the Siberian Lynx experience.

Pricing information wouldve been great online, but upon arrival and with the given tour, i was amazed at the information the tour leader gave and had to give. What was more impressive was the wide variety of wildlife that EcoStation helps maintain. You will learn about some interesting background stories that all the pets have. It was great for me and my family and we truly enjoyed it.

What a hidden gem in Culver City. While babysitting I ventured there with an 8 year old that loved it! A family feel with so much to offer. The guided tour was great, with so many species and neat things to see. Nice size parking lot in the back and handicap accessible. Thanks so much folks, well be back for sure!!!

I took my grandchild to this wonderful place for the afternoon. The entrance was so inviting and thought provoking in terms of what was to be seen inside. There was a lush garden like setting at the entrance, palm trees with coconuts hanging, and various succulent plants scattered about. He and about eleven others were simply delighted. They had hands on experiences of actually touching several animals. The guide was absolutely OUTSTANDING, clear explanations for all the questions from the youngsters. The guide was patient and utilized age appropriate vocabulary for the group and the pace was also appropriate (not too fast, not too slow).The habitat of the animals were explained as were how they arrived at the Eco Station. Opportunities were afforded the youngsters to walk about, & explore freely. Hand sanitizer was readily available and provided to all to ensure a minimal chance of bacteria staying on the little hands. The little ones were allowed to take pictures without flashes. This was an excellent adventure for my toddler grandchild. There was ample free parking available! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Great place to bring your kids. They have hour long tours on the weekends starting at 10am. Show up early as they do fill up. Highlights are the bobcat, hedgehogs, and parrots.

Review №20

Definitely worth the trip! It only takes an hour to do the tour. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable about all the animals in the facility. Its hot and humid in the enclosures, but we had a great time. Its reasonably priced and worth checking out. The kids even get to interact with some of the animals.

No parking, my family tried to park and the parking lot attendant told us no paking in the lot we had to use street parking. Even though there were open spaces. There was no street parking available not even paid parking. When I pulled in to drop off my family he barked again not to park there. I told him there was no street parking and I was dropping off my family. While I was waiting behind a car in the street to park while another family was loading up he got on me again and said I could not park there. When I told him there was no street parking either he said well you can’t park here. After telling him AGAIN there’s nowhere to park he shrugged it off and told me O needed to move. Needless to say the staff there is ridiculous and provides no help to customers. I would never return.

This Is my new favorite spot to take the kids! We have fallen in love with so many of the characters we met inside, there is 100% positive vibes inside, the people there are very knowledgeable and the rescues are all individually exceptional. Im going to get a membership as soon as we can. Also I want to mention that they really do have a great set up in there for the rescues that have often times been mistreated in the past by ignorant pet owners and the volunteers that help out are very patient and knowledgeable about all of their various needs. This Is the most important business I have ever been asked to comment on and I really hope to help more people interested

I didnt know about the Eco Station but we loved the Earth Day Celebration (food, rides, games, prizes, karaoke, Eco stations (reptiles & butterflies), face painting. Very reasonable ($) for other festivals. We will go again!

Great place to allow young kids to see rarely seen animals up close. But staff is not really skilled to accommodate children under the age of 10.

We are a long time part of the STAR family. We started off with STAR camps, including weeks at the Eco Station. Our daughter attends STAR Prep Academy, closely connected to the Eco Station, and 9th grade science was based on the Eco Station. Highly recommend!

My son and I love this place. They have cool animals and the entrance fee(cant remember prices) and donations are all for a good cause. Definitely worth my money although I do wish it was a little bigger. But overall a good place to take the kids.

Loved this place! Remeber it from when I was a kid, but somehow enjoyed it more as an adult. Its a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon and pet some reptiles! They also have animals up for adpotion which is a major plus. Youll get an awesome education on the sea life and mammals. Definitely a fun spot for children.

Star Eco Station is a great place to take your kids, learn about animals, and even adopt one yourself. Id say the proper age range to take a kid here would be 3 and up. Since this is a guided tour, kids under 3 can get a little bored, even though the tour guides are dynamic, fun and engaging. This is literally a tour of their facilities, where you are guided room to room by a guide. For the majority of the tour, you are taken into rooms, shown fish/animals/birds/insects, and told facts about them. In a couple of the rooms the guide will take out an animal or two to allow for touching.Its a good tour for the price, with different rooms based on the type of wildlife. You can adopt animals as well!Pro tip - they have their own parking lot, be sure to park in it and not in the road/alley that leads to the lot.

Fantastic place to teach kids the value of respecting all kinds of animals. The staff is friendly, passionate and knowledgeable. Dont expect a zoo; this place is the manifestation of their history of saving exotic pets that are abandoned. This includes alligators!

Excellent place for a family outing. Especially with the little ones! A lot of things to do around here. Its open to the public on the weekends from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and the last tour is at 3 p.m. The tours begin at the top the hour every hour. They have animals like birds and reptiles. You can get a tour of the facilities and there are special events throughout the year like Earth Day and art festivals. Its very affordable and I highly recommend a visit once or twice a year at least!
