Lily the white tiger Are you looking for something fun to do on a weekend? Or do you need a great date venue for Valentine’s Day? I found this great place called Rancho Las Lomas. It’s located in Trabuco Canyon near the famous biker bar cook’s corner. I was looking at Groupon and that is how I stumbled across this amazing place. If you are looking to get married I would highly recommend this place. I have been married for years so I have not had a reason to check this venue out. They now also do zoo tours, wine tasting and beer tasting on weekends when they are not booked with a wedding.

Rancho Las Lomas wine tasting I was so excited about this purchase that I got a few other couples to join us. To be honest I thing that is the only way I could get my husband to go. When I made the purchase I didn't know that they also had other cocktails that you could try besides wine. This is a private estates that has everything from exotic white tigers, zebras, and lamas on the grounds to private cottages that you can stay overnight in.  Everyone that went with us had so much fun that we booked an additional trip to stay overnight with our families before we even left that night.

Zebra We brought the whole family back a few weeks later to stay in the cottages. I have two girls that are 6 and 2 years old so staying overnight with a white tiger was very exciting as you can imagine. When we arrived in the morning the grounds keepers took us around and let us watch them feed Lily the tiger. I truly feel this was such an amazing experience that my daughter will not soon forget. The Groupon is still available http://www.groupon.com/deals/rancho-las-lomas if you wanted to check it out.
