Must-see attractions

Oakland Museum of California

　　Every museum has an educational mission, and this one is dedicated to California. You'll find rotating exhibitions on artistic and scientific themes, and permanent galleries dedicated to the state’s diverse ecology and history, as well as California art, from traditional landscapes to re-imagined cartography. Start your weekend here on a...

Crown Memorial State Beach

　　Along the western shore of Alameda Island, Robert W Crown Memorial State Park sees flocks of East Bay locals on a sunny day. The sandy beach stretches 2.5 miles along the San Francisco Bay, and windsurfers love riding the gusts from across the bay. There are picnic spots and grilling...

Museum of Art & Digital Entertainment

　　If you love video games, the MADE is the heaven you go to when you die and are all out of extra lives. It's a museum of sorts, but more a sort of time-travel arcade filled with video game consoles ranging from Playstation 4s to Neo Geos to Atari 2600s....

The pretty waterfront location is worth a stroll, especially when the Sunday farmers market takes over, or get off your feet and kayak around the harbor. Contemporary redevelopment has added a cinema complex, condo development...

Children's Fairyland

　　This 10-acre kiddie attraction dates from 1950, and we're not sure if it's been overhauled since. We mean that as a compliment! Children's Fairyland, with its little Aesop and Grimm Bros themed attractions, has all of the nostalgia feels. There's a raw authenticity to the faded Peter Rabbit gardens and...

Chabot Space & Science Center

　　Stargazers will go gaga over this kid-oriented science and technology center in the Oakland Hills with loads of exhibits on subjects such as space travel and eclipses, as well as cool planetarium shows.
