Parks & Nature

This place is so unique. There is no place like that I know of. Walt Disney was inspired by Fairyland to create Disneyland. Kids love it!

Wonderful redwoods. These are third growth Redwoods but they are still majestic! There were once huge redwoods bigger than Muir Woods here in Oakland. Nice play park for kids too. Great spot for picnics.

Really lovely little park not far from the house. Probably my first choice for a picnic. Amazing stone work stairway and landscaping. Play structures too.

A little farther from the house but worth the trip for the stream train that usually runs on the weekends and I think year round in the summer. It goes through the forest and there are cute miniature "towns". Great during sunset. Kids love it but I would go without kids too!

This is a super simple unassuming place for good bagel and breakfast sandwiches that we used to get to take to Dimond Park.

Nice Italian restaurant with some interesting foodie options. Good wine. Nice outdoor seating. Can be packed on weekends. So close to the house! My favorite close by restaurant.

This is a bit far from the house but I am listing it because it was great with a small child due to their enclosed sandbox so adults can eat and drink while the kiddies play.

Drinks & Nightlife

This is more like a biergarten with a big selection of beer and some wine. Great outdoor seating with a view of the Lake. You can bring kids. The food is pretty good too. Sometimes there are DJs.

Arts & Culture

We would go here Friday nights for the Food Trucks and the music. Plus, the museum is open late and half price. Great museum--much better than expected! Get food from the Food Trucks then have a picnic in their courtyard. If you have kids they will love to run around.
