This was my first visit and I was a little bit scared to go alone with my 4 kids, but it turned out to be the perfect place to spend a Saturday. My oldest liked it so much she wants to volunteer and even my 2 year old kept himself occupied with the Legos and the trains. I cannot believe is for free!

Great place for parents with kids or field trip. Restroom, WiFi, and a small cafeteria. They didn’t charge me entrance fee on 2021-12-29. Mask and vaccination records are required.

Took two 6yo and a 2yo today, I haven't been there since the remodel - it looked great! Felt spacious and bright, the top level, anyways. There was something for everyone: the traditional basket weaving exhibit, the animals (backyard type, not too exotic), the building block structures to test with the earthquake simulator, but *especially* the train display. A whole room set up with miniature trains including a switch yard, a model town and a hilly rural area with tunnels and bridges. Absolute heaven for a Thomas-obsessed kindergartner! There's now a café, but since we're having a very un-San Franciscan heatwave we picnicked under the trees outside while admiring the cityscape. Suggested donation $1 per person, well worth it.

Fun and interesting animal exhibit for all ages. Saw the employees pet and feed the local raccoon (name is Buddy) which was priceless. They also have a duck, chickens, crows, an owl, tarantula, turtles, and more. Great atmosphere and place to chill after hiking.
