My family only had one full day to spend in San Francisco so we set out to make the most of it. The day began at House of Air, a huge trampoline-filled building located at San Francisco’s Crissy Field. I take that back- the day began with us scrambling to find enough spare change in our wallets to make bridge fare ($6.00 is obsene!) followed by our GPS leading us deep into the city and far from the true House of Air location. We we reached the Financial District, I knew something was very wrong and after some research I discovered that the House of Air website actually warns that GPS will take you to the wrong location. Oops! Luckily, my husband is excellent at manuerving the crowded and crazy city streets and got us to our destination just 5 minutes late. Phew!

As soon as we parked, we lept out of the car and ran to the entrance to make as much use of our hour long session as we could. We noted that the House of Air has an incredible view of the Golden Gate Bridge (a reaccuring theme in this trip) but didn’t have time to fully enjoy the vista. We had to get inside and jump!
I can’t begin to explain just how much fun House of Air truly is. My daughter was a bit nervous to jump on the super bouncy trampolines at first because they propelled much higher in the air than the typical bounce castle. Luckily after about 5 minutes, she was completely sold on the experience. Although I can say with 100% certainty that my kids had a blast, I think that my husband and I may have even had more fun. There is just something about letting loose and bouncing to your heart’s content that is good for the soul. It didn’t take long for my husband to find his way into the dodgeball room. It was truly hysterical to watch my 6’5″ husband play dodgeball in a room filled with teens and preteens. He must have looked like a giant with a menacing red ball to the kids on the other side of the court. While an hour doesn’t seem like very long to spend at a trampoline house, I assure you it is plenty of time. Bouncing is a great workout but our aging joints and bladders were definitely feeling a bit jossled by the end.
After all that bouncing we had worked up a good appetite so we headed up into the Marina District and had burgers at Barney’s, which has won awards for serving the best burgers in San Francisco. The atmosphere was casual and family friendly but the burgers were gourmet all the way. Besides having a menu with about 15 different topping combinations, the restaurant also gave diners the option to choose a beef, chicken, turkey or veggie patty for their burgers. Being the purists that we are, both my husband and I went with the beef patty, which was large and flavorful. I dined on a very spicy chipotle burger, which was definitely up my heat-loving alley. Paul must have been dreaming of more tropical temperatures because he went with the Maui Wowie, which he gave two teriyaki splattered thumbs up. The kids weren’t in a burger mood but the kids menu had many burger-free options such as hot dogs, girlled cheese, and chicken fingers.
After lunch, we decided that no trip to San Francisco was complete without a ride in the Twizzlermobile down Lombard Street. I have been to San Francisco dozens of times but had never actually driven down the street, famous for being the most windy in the country. I always had the “that’s what tourists do” mentality but today I face the reality that I am, in fact, a tourist. Riding down Lombard Street may be touristy but its also pretty fun. I think some of the most fun I had was when I hopped out of the car and tried to race down the hill through the crowds to get a good shot of the Twizzlermobile winding its way down the road. I felt like a member of the Hershey paparazzi.
We spent the afternoon at the Exploratorium, a hands-on science museum and San Francisco institution located at the Palace of Fine Arts. I have fond memories of enjoying the Exploratorium without my kids but this was the first time they were old enough to enjoy and understand the exhibits. Though my preschool-aged children weren’t interested in everything inside of the museum (many of the exhibits are geared towards ages 7 and up) , they did find plenty to keep them occupied during our 2 1/2 hour visit. My son was attracted to anything that related to balls including levatating balls, launching balls, and running marble balls down kid-created tracks. My daughter loved the exhibit that allows kids to create art using a wooden stick to manupilate sand on a spinning table and making the time lapse move forward and backward in the life cycle of a fungus. My favorite will always be the volcanic sand which has magnetic properties and is just so fun to play with!
We ended our day with family and friends who met up with us at Off the Grid, a popular weekly food truck event that is held at Fort Mason on Friday evenings. It was here that I was able to meet up with Liling and Brennan, the masterminds behind Trekaroo. It’s always great to have our little Trekaroo family together, and good food only sweetens the pot. Though my family enjoyed all the food we sampled from the different trucks, we concluded that Chairman Bao had the leg up on the competition with some amazing pork belly buns. The only downside to Off the Grid is that the lines are long and the seating is sparse, creating an environment that is not ideal for little kids. That being said, my kids love food trucks (they have been well-trained) and enjoyed the company of our group until Mr. Sandman started pouring extra doses of sleep dust into their eyes and it was evident that it was time to pile back into the Twizzlermobile and head back across the bridge for the night. Tomorrow, we take on Big Sur!

Berkeley is a vibrant and spirited place that may surprise those who still see it as the counter-culture center of the Sixties. Free speech and “flower power” are forever in the city’s DNA, but Berkeley has evolved into a culinary and cultural travel destination with a “green” soul. The tree-lined streets of Berkeley offers creative, educational and fun experiences for every member of the family. From fun art activities for children to several kid-oriented museums, there’s always something lively and festive right around the corner. Here are Trekaroo’s top picks for things to do in Berkeley with kids:
.
Walk among roaring, stomping, realistic-looking dinosaurs at Lawrence Hall of Science- UC Berkeley:
Explore the prehistoric world like never before in Dinosaurs Unearthed. Scientists, engineers, and artists designed these creatures to be as lifelike as possible. The gigantic animals open their jaws, blink their eyes, and move their limbs. See the Hall’s dinos spring to life — if you dare! Dinosaurs Unearthed features amazingly real animatronic dinosaurs, a hands-on fossil dig site, articulated full-size skeletons, actual dinosaur fossils, and interactive multimedia stations. Younger visitors will have fun in the Young Explorers’ Experience. This special exhibition area features activities designed for visitors aged 2–7 years.

Ride a scaled down steam train at Tilden Regional Park:
Tilden recreational activities have become a happy tradition for generations of East Bay youngsters. From a carousel ride and a picnic to a swim at Lake Anza and a stroll through the botanic garden, Tilden has variety to delight everyone. Ride along the scenic ridge of Tilden Regional Park on a scaled-down steam train or visit the Little Farm. The Little Farm features a variety of farm animals including cows, sheep, goats, rabbits, chickens and pigs. Several heritage breeds are preserved here, including Milking Shorthorn Cattle. Visitors are welcome to bring lettuce or celery to feed the animals.
Tilden Park’s Lake Anza is a favorite getaway. Its sandy beach is open to the sun and sheltered from the wind, with lifeguards posted during the swim season. There is a beach access fee to the swim area, which has changing rooms and picnic grounds are nearby. The lake is open for fishing throughout the year and kids under 16 are welcome to fish without a license. The lake is not stocked, but has naturally occurring largemouth bass, bluegill, sunfish, and channel catfish.

Adventure Playground has been written up as a top 10 playground in National Geographic:
The Adventure Playground is a wonderfully unique outdoor facility where staff encourage children to play and build creatively. Come climb on the many unusual kid-designed-and-built forts, boats, and towers. Take a ride the zip line or just hammer, saw, and paint. Adventure Playground is designed for children seven years old and older, however younger children are welcome as long as they are within arms reach of a participating adult. Next door to Adventure Playground is the Shorebird Park Nature Center, a solar powered facility built out of straw bales and recycled materials. Here you’ll find a 50 gallon salt tank, a 30 gallon fresh water tank and displays on marine mammals and birds.

Cesar Chavez Park offers a wide range of recreational opportunities in a marina setting with spectacular views of the three bridges, Alcatraz and Angel Island. Home of the Annual International Kite Festival in July, this park plays host to the most serious kite flyers in the world. Every year, they make their pilgrimage to Berkeley to demonstrate their kite-flying prowess and present their amazing kite creations. In addition to watching the kites, the Berkeley Kite Festival offers free kite-making lessons and kite-flying lessons. If you don’t have a kite, you can purchase one at the giant sales tent. The event is free, and each area of the festival provides a different glimpse of what kiting has to offer. You can bring a picnic or purchase food from the vendors at the festival which will offer hot dogs, barbequed chicken, pretzels, ice cream, and corn on the cob. If you go, Bring a blanket to sit on, and bring sweaters for everyone, since the breeze out on the Berkeley Marina can get pretty dang chilly.

When the first big winter storm hit the California coastline, our family clapped for joy because it meant that the High Sierra’s were getting their first serious snowfall of the winter season. This past weekend, some parts of Lake Tahoe got as much as 2 feet of snow in one night.
Last year, Trekaroo sent out our Superoos to uncover which are the best ski resorts around the country for families. Lake Tahoe is California’s premier ski destination and one of our top picks for family-friendly ski destinations. It boasts epic scenery, world class ski resorts, proximity to the San Francisco Bay Area, comfortable ski conditions, lots of activities for kids, and good restaurants that are welcoming to families. Just about every ski resort in Lake Tahoe welcomes families with open arms because skiing and snowboarding are such wonderful sports that families can enjoy together. However, ski resorts are definitely not created equal. Depending on what’s important to your family here are our recommendations for the best ski resorts in the Lake Tahoe area for snow lovin’ families.
Best All Around Family-Friendly Ski Resort – Heavenly Ski Resort
There are lots of reasons why Heavenly Ski Resort consistently gets raving reviews from Trekaroo families. This large ski resort with lots of intermediate runs families are able to ski together happily for a large part of the day. In addition, families with young children who are still learning to ski have lots of options for full day or half day ski school programs at Heavenly’s first class ski school. Heavenly’s Day Care offers care for wee ones as young as 2 months old in their CA licensed nursery. Heavenly Day Care even offers unique ski-play programs for 3 and 4 year olds who are ready to be eased onto the slopes but still mostly just want to free play. This excellent program allows young ones to experience skiing and snowboarding in an age appropriate way. We also loved the delicious on mountain dining options that offer heart warming favorites like burgers and chilli, but also healthy options like fresh salads and gourmet meals for those who like to dine well. Having dining areas littered throughout the vast mountain makes it easy for families to take frequent breaks and rendezvous for meals.
But, that’s not all, Heavenly Village and Adventure Peak offer lots of non-skiing activities from an extreme tubing hill, snow shoeing, ice-skating and snowmobiling, to a relaxing scenic gondola ride with epic views of Lake Tahoe. Trekaroo was also very impressed with the friendly and attentive staff at Heavenly. From parking lot attendants to ski instructors, everyone was friendly and eager to help families find their way around, stay safe and have an unforgettably happy day.
As if these are not enough of reasons for Heavenly to earn big kudos from Trekaroo families, Heavenly has struck it golden with us because they’ve found a way to provide all the bells and whistles of a world class ski resorts at a competitive price. One day lift tickets for the 2009/2010 season were $82/adult (2010/2011 lift ticket prices haven’t been announced yet). All other comparable ski resorts have lift tickets that ranged between at $71-83/adult. But their season pass tickets are a phenomenal deal. Read more about that below. The other activities at Heavenly aren’t particularly cheap though, but you can always be sure you are paying for a top notch experience.
Although Heavenly does not offer their own accommodation, there is a variety of family-friendly accommodation in South Lake Tahoe. Some like the the reasonably priced Embassy Suites are within walking distance of the Gondola. Timber Lodge by Marriott offers luxury accommodations steps from the Gondola.

Best All Inclusive Ski Resort for Families – Squaw Valley
Squaw Valley is another favorite Ski Resort with Trekaroo Families. It’s probably the most expensive ski resort in Lake Tahoe, but Trekaroo families think you get exactly what you pay for. Squaw’s lodging is luxury all the way. You arrive at Squaw Village and you never have to leave. Upscale stores and restaurants abound. The staff at Squaw and their partner establishments located in Squaw Village sure seem to understand how welcome their guests Ski School is fully equipped to accommodate kids ages 3 and up at all levels of skiing and the facilities have fun play areas. The cable car ride up to High Camp is a big hit with families while High Camp offers stunning views of Squaw Valley, ice-skating, hot tubs and a heated pool. There is lots of space to build snow men for little ones who aren’t ready to hit the slopes up at high camp, white down at the base of the Cable Car, you’ll find a climbing wall and other amusements. All in all, Trekaroo families mostly agree that for the premium you pay to stay and ski at Squaw, all your needs as a family are very well met.

Best Value Kids Ski School – Alpine Meadows
Alpine Meadows Ski Resort is a smaller ski facility on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe. However, it runs an excellent Ski School Program for children. Trekaroo families love the more affordable prices for both their half and full day programs. Alpine is also less crowded, so it is likely that they can accommodate you even if you don’t have a previous reservation. Alpine Meadows offers ski school for children as young as 3 years old. Half day lessons are $113 and full day lessons are $143 which include lunch and all equipment rentals. It’s a deal when you compare the rates to some other good ski school programs in Lake Tahoe that will run you a bill at $200/day/child. Unfortunately, Alpine Meadows does not offer day care for younger kids or a ski-play program so you’ll have to figure out something else for your young kids who can’t ski all day. There is a small but adequate indoor play area if you have a nanny or adult hanging out with your little one in the lodge. Alpine takes the safety of children very seriously and gives each child a Falk GPS tracking device so that your child will never go missing. Trekaroo families like Alpine because the prices are just a little lower but the ski school program is well run.

Ski Resort with the Best On-Site Childcare – Minor’s Camp at Northstar-at-Tahoe
There are just a handful of ski resorts at Lake Tahoe that offer on-site child care. Trekaroo families were very impressed with the childcare at Northstar-at-Tahoe called Minor’s Camp which accepts children ages 2 to 6 years old. Located at the golf course base, the large and spacious facility is cheerful and filled with fun activities. Your child will perk up the moment you enter. This is a CA state licensed facility with a low adult to child ratio of 1:5. The set up and staff were so welcoming that even little ones who usually have difficulty separating felt very comfortable at Minor’s Camp. And did I mention the big bonus? Parents get one free adult lift ticket when you book your child for a full day at Minor’s Camp? What a deal!
If you have little ones younger than 2, the only ski resort that offers childcare from 2 months and up is Heavenly Ski Resort which also has an excellent day care.

Best Place to Teach Kids to Ski Yourself – Soda Springs
If you are bent on teaching your child to ski yourself, you might consider a visit to Soda Springs. Their prices are unbeatable and there is a area called “Planet Kids” that has small bunny slopes equipped with a magic carpet where parents can work on “pizzas” and “french fries” with their wee ones. It sure beats hiking up your child between each little run. For just $25, you can enter planet kids (includes ski or snowboard rental). If they get bored of skiing, they can ride down the small tubing hill or ride the tube carousel. It’s a little chaotic at planet kids, but is about the only ski resort that the do-it-yourself parent can benefit from the use of a magic carpet.

Its where land ends and the massive Pacific Ocean begins. A place where the city becomes less urban and more wild. The views are sweeping and the trails are perfect for a family friendly adventure . Its San Francisco‘s Lands End, a portion of a larger treasure known as the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
Land’s End is full of hiking adventures, opportunities to see the remains of ships that
met their fate on the rocks near the bay, and even cannons that were once built to
defend the city which are still facing the ocean as though awaiting a call to action. Amongst all that
nature and history, there is even a world-class art museum, the Palace of the Legion of Honor, which is
home to works of art by some of the greats including Picasso and Rembrandt.
There are many ways to enter the recreation area, but the main trail head starts on El Camino
Del Mar at the base of the park. The beginning of the trail is also the first viewing area. The
vista point unfolds into a view of the entire bay with the Golden Gate Bridge slightly east, Marin
Headlands to the north, and the vast Pacific Ocean to the west as far as the eye can see. On
clear days (there aren’t that many of them in foggy San Francisco) there are numerous
sail boats all over the bay and under the Golden Gate Bridge, adding to the picturesque
view. Sometimes large freighter ships pass through the bay on their way to Oakland and San
Francisco, and on rare occasion a military ship can be spotted.
The main trail starts right from the initial vista point. The trail is rather easy, so even small
children wouldn’t find it too challenging. Most of the trail is surrounded
by bushes and small trees for hiker safety. Sometimes there are intervals without much
surrounding vegetation and views of the ocean open up all over again to remind the hikers
that they really are walking along a huge cliff with jagged rocks right underneath. Parents are
advised to keep a close eye on their children because as enchanting and magical as the hike
can be, it can also be dangerous.
The main trail isn’t very long, but there are plenty of fun things for kids to do. Since the beaches of
San Francisco are largely covered with jagged rocky cliffs, over time there have been a number
of ships that have crashed into the rocks and run aground. Some of the remains of the ships are over 50 years old
and still present today.
People interested in joining such a hike can do so by visiting this Group Hike Through Land’s End.
Another great destination is Fort Miley which was built to protect San
Francisco from potentially invading ships. Old 19th century style cannons can still be found
facing the ocean at various spots that are now overgrown with thick vegetation. Kids to get a great kick out of seeing or
climbing on an old cannon if they find one.
After a few hours of hiking on trails with arguably some of the best views in all of California, make time to visit the Palace of the Legion of Honor, a
museum which is right inside the park. Not only does it have a place to buy snacks and take
a little break, but it is also home to some of the greatest artists in history like Picasso, Monet,
Rembrandt.
Parents who manage to get their kids interested in the museum tend to be most satisfied with
the day because after all, it is a rare parent-dream-come-true when the kids are active and
learning at the same time.
As mentioned earlier, the museum houses works from some of history’s greatest artists and
sculptors. While Picasso’s works are understandably not the most comprehensible to children,
the museum has a section with ancient art that might be more fun for kids.
Whatever part of the park you have time to explore, the day is sure to be fun, educational, awesomely exhausting, and
unforgettable.

Welcome to 
Last Thursday we highlighted parks in the Seattle area that are some of the regions best. This week, we are traveling down the coast and visiting some of the best that San Francisco Bay area has to offer. These are the kind of places residents hold dear and are willing to hop and in the car and brave bay area traffic for. These are also the parks that parents should bookmark for their future Bay Area vacations because there is no better way to end a day of sightseeing than letting the kids run off their excess energy on at an amazing playground. Here a few of my favorites from the list:

Pony rides, the train, and paddle boats are all part of the fun at Howarth Park in Santa Rosa. The playground is both unique and fun with its Land of Imagination theme. The large playground is broken up into prehistoric, Native Americans, Rancho Santa Rosa, Old West settlers, and modern times sections. The dinosaur dig and water play areas are especially popular. Read reviews on Howarth Park Playground here.

I could write an entire post touting the many great sections of Golden Gate Park (and probably will some day!) but we couldn’t have a list of destination worthy playgrounds without including one of America’s first. Built in 1887, families have been visiting Koret’s Children’s Quarter (formerly known as Children’s Playground) for generations. There are play structures, swings, and sand boxes, but our favorite will always be the long cement slides. Read reviews of Koret’s Children Quarter here.

This amazing Berkeley playground is both fun and eco-friendly. This playground will be permanently under construction and the visitors couldn’t be more pleased. Here kids and volunteers can build the playground using scrap wood, old nets, and lost of imagination. Work tools and safety gear are donned as kids hammer, sand and paint away. In order to earn a tool to use, kids must pick up five pieces of trash. Forts, tunnels, bridges, pirate coves, and towers all brought to you by the power of imagination- this is many kids’ idea of what heaven must be like. Read reviews on Adventure Playground here.
I hope these three playgrounds perked your interest and that you will check out the other seven on the list. If you know of some Bay Area playgrounds that you think the rest of us should be aware of, add a review! Without your knowledge and insight, Trekaroo wouldn’t exist.
