HOW OLD IS THE KID?
The exploratorium is a great hands-on
science museum for kids of all ages..
and there is an aquariaum at pier 39
and an even better one in Monterey.

there may even be one near golden gate
park...i remember a round-a-bout donut
shaped tank with a current that flows
and the fish and sharks swim "up-stream"
it is at the CA academy of science.

i am 3-4 hours from the bay area,
and not likely to be there during
your visit.

have a good one!

Gilroy is a bit inland,but iam
fascinated with the circus trees
at the Gilroy gardens amusement park.
