lot of foraging potential, and most people are amazed to find out about the different plants during our tours including how they are used as food, tea, or medicinally; these are really educational tours.”
Escape rooms
The newest activity to join the lineup is an indoor escape room, aptly named ESCAPE! at Margarita Adventures. Built and designed
by our own Mr. Gadget, Frank Rodgers. In collaboration with SLO CAPED (Cal Poly Amusement Park Engineers and Designers), Frank has designed one of the most in- teractive escape rooms in the state. The development team has lever- aged computer science, robotics, and analytics to create a one of a kind experience that can be enjoyed with family and friends.
“This first room is called Rita’s Relics,” Rodgers said. “The entire project was all built in-house, which is exciting for us, and we are building more. Plans are in the works to have three different options for people to choose from
over the upcoming year, and they are all quite technologically-based.”
Team building
Especially appealing to workers, managers, and corporations are the team building events at Margarita Adventures. Larson will customize each event based on the needs of the group, whether that involves
working on communication, prob- lem solving, or general bonding. “These events are designed to
help everyone focus and work to- gether to complete a particular task, all while having fun,” Larson said. “We will create the perfect day for your team, with additional options such as catered lunch and wildlife tours available.”
Santa Margarita
Ranch hospitality

“We have something that
will appeal to anyone – families, couples, groups of friends – we want everyone to come here and feel welcomed and safe while shar- ing exciting and memorable times together.”
