“Believe the hype! I went here based on the great reviews and I had an amazing experience. Stayed for almost two hours and it wasn't nearly enough time to immerse myself as much as I would have. I'm not exactly an art buff, nor a nature buff, but as someone who loves to travel and learn, I found so much to enjoy in this unique artwork. The audio tour accompaniment - especially getting to hear the artist himself navigate you through his work - was a great addition. The museum staff were lovely, as well.”

“This is one of the greatest community centers in Palo Alto. Everybody is so nice and friendly. Can't wait to go back to pre-Covid19 days where everyday and every week there is an event planned out by this community center. Good old days. Please get the Adas Cafe in the community center more active. We all miss the options of walking out of library or the community center and grab a cold or hot drink with a dessert or a small bite. Thank for your work Mitchell Park Community Center.”

“My interactions with Vista Center started because of a referral from my doctor. She said I didn't walk with confidence and this could be helped by using a cane. I thought blind people used canes so I was a little surprised since I have low vision. At any rate, I went along with this keeping an open mind.Vista Center reached out. I was first visited by a nice gentleman who interviewed me to determine the need. Then I was visited by an environment specialist. This very friendly and knowledgeable lady proceeded to put tactile markers on my microwave, stove and laptop. She also made some lighting recommendations in addition to introducing me to an app for my phone to help read my snailmail. After providing tons of literature, she left. Next, I was visited by an O & M Specialist. This friendly and knowledgeable lady brought mobility canes with her and let me try them after some instruction. After providing the specs for the cane that worked the best, she left.At this point, it was up to me to decide how to go forward. Because of these very knowledgeable folks, I have made all of their recommendations. As a result, life is soooooo much easier now. Cooking no longer involves multiple trips to the cancel button. I no longer have to find the printscreen button on my laptop. The house lighting is much brighter with the huge plus of being energy efficient since many replaced bulbs were non-LED and/or old spirals. When the cane arrived, I took the cane to the back yard and walked around with the skills I had learned. Even a familiar place was easier to navigate with the cane. I went out to the store with the cane for my weekly trip. It usually took about 2 hours. With the cane, it took 1 hour 15 minutes since my confidence bucket was full. I had the O & M Specialist return for an unfamiliar route in my neighborhood in addition to a short, familiar path for her to supervise and check me.Besides my doctors, these folks truly know and understand the world of sight impairment. They met me where I am and never made me feel belittled or stupid. It was truly a breath of fresh air being with people who actually understand my issues and know how to help. I also learned that canes are not for only blind individuals but are hugely helpful for us low vision folks. I can't thank Vista Center enough for improving my world. I realize now that I didn't know that I didn't know. Vista Center is truly a goldmine find and I HIGHLY recommend them.”

“I was a member a long time ago. I fell away and now all these years later understand that these disciples are truly on the right path. Ever since I fell away I've never felt the same or seen the world the same. The fire that was once there is finally gone. The Bible said this would happen to me but my pride keeps me away. Anyways I really hope u make the right decision if someone has shared their faith withyou! GO and study with them It really will change you forever!”
