5.0 Limo 805 (4 reviews)
- Yet another stellar experience
Spent 1-2 hours Taxis & Shuttles
Coming home from Chicago was a bit harrowing because of impending inclement weather we were unsure whether or not we were going to make it out in time before they shut the airport down. We were delayed several hours. Nevertheless Limo 805 was monitoring our flight and had our interests well at hand. Where are you arrived at LAX our driver, Chris was waiting for us in baggage claim and took charge claiming our luggage and getting us to the car despite the late hour. He got us home safely and quickly. I highly recommend this company for all your travel needs See more..

4.5 Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza (74 reviews)

4.5 Paradise Falls (70 reviews)
- Well worth the walk
Waterfalls

You have to possess a certain degree of fitness to get to the falls. The trails are a little untamed in places and can be challenging if you struggle with distance. The route(s) to the falls is pretty well signposted. I went in midweek in December 2017 and I was the only one there. In the summer it gets busy, especially on a weekend and can be really noisy but if you choose your time right it is a wonderful place to sit quietly. See more..

- Beautiful Botanical Garden
Gardens

We stumbled upon this botanical garden and we were delighted to have found it. Entrance to the gardens is free, but donations are requested. There are different garden areas representing different climates. For example, desert, meadows, native, etc. The walking paths were clearly marked and easy to follow.

4.5 Conejo Players Theatre (3 reviews)
- Fun Place to See the Theatre - Conejo Players Theatre

They have a play season, and for the coming year, have such shows at the Follies, Improv, Hound of the Bakervilles, Wizard of Oz, Amadeaus, and Reefer Madness and so forth. As such, some shows are great for the entire family; some are great for a couples night out. They also do some afternoon performances. We like it as all the seats have good viewing at this smaller but good theatre. The actors and staff are talented. See more..

4.0 Los Robles Greens Golf Course (19 reviews)
- Excellent 'Conejo Uncorked' Event
Friday: 6:00 AM - 6:30 PM Golf Courses

We were at the Greens for a special wine and food tasting event the other night. What a great place to hold an event! They'd set up tables and a band near the entrance and it couldn't have been lovelier. We sampled delicious local wines and yummy food from local restaurants. The surroundings were very pretty with easy access and plenty of free parking. If this is repeated next year, we'll be there! See more..

4.0 The Dudes’ Brewing Company (8 reviews)
- The Dude's Brewing Company really ties T.O. together!
Friday: 12:00 PM - 11:00 PM Breweries

I absolutely love The Dudes'! The large tables have an Oktoberfest feel, and the vibe is as casual as any dude would abide. They are a brewery tasting room with a constantly changing selection, it keeps me coming back. No other beverages available, just beer, but beer in almost limitless tastes and styles, sure to please anyone. They don't serve food, aside from chips and popcorn, but they totally encourage you to bring in your own. Or you can easily have food delivered to you at The Dudes', they have all the local menu's. And you can always bring your well behaved doggie. For that matter you can bring your kids, you will likely see whole families there on a weekend. See more..
