Parque Tropical

posted by fhenderson on 8 December 2010 at 12:33

Our whole family went here for the day and we had sucha lovely time. We took a picnic and enjoyed it by the lake which was perfect (and cheap). The place is beautifully designed and executed and there are so many lovey birds around just flying freely. Don't forget to walk to the Mirador del Rio before you leave the car park either!

We were a bit apprehensive about bringing our children on holiday as they are quite young, but it went well, especially the day we went here. Sucha fun park, based on fairy tales, complete with the owl and the pussycat abd three billy goats gruff! Great place!

Mexican Heritage Plaza

posted by dcarter on 8 December 2010 at 12:16

This place was perfect for showing my children what mexican culture is all about, since all they know about is the food and that's about it! The square is great, with a lovely garden, and the kids really loved the mural. We also saw a mexican play aimed at kids as part of the annual festival which we were lucky enough to catch.

Aquarium Bay

I adored this place, amazing! It was so cool to get to go in all the tunnels and see all the shars and fish swimming all around me. So informative too, I got so much out of my day. Would recommend to adults and children alike.

Bay Area Discovery Museum

posted by visaman on 8 December 2010 at 12:12

My kids, 7 and 5 had such an awesome time here. Thre;s so much for them to do inside and out that they kept saying they wanted to come back! The wave workshop was the top hit and I'm glad because I love to see my kids learning and playing at the same time.

557 McReynolds Rd, just over the golden gate bridge from SF, great views of the city
