Walking through on the raised walkway, one enters another planet (with 'skeeters) but the quiet allows one to hear the plants grow, hear the fish and snakes. Great for kids to learn; hard to believe so close to active modern-day life. More

My kids enjoy the mommy and me programs. Membership was not worth the cost for us since we don't get to go very often. More

What a pleasant surprise as you drive off a busy Bay Area Blvd. and into the quiet of nature. The visitors center offers lots of information and includes a small gift shop. Annual family memberships are well worth the small fee as there is something going on year-round that adults and kids alike will enjoy. Great family activity. More
