sweeping views, redwood groves, the petting zoo, children’s train through redwoods and the classic Tilden Merry-Go-Round. Little Farm at Tilden Park — pet goats, cows, and pigs (bring celery or lettuce!).
We like the cafe (upstairs) best
The Cheese Board Collective — iconic pizza and live music in North Berkeley. Sourdough crust.
Rockridge Market Hall — European-style food hall for snacks or gifts
UC Berkeley Campus Tour — wander through Sather Gate and the Campanile tow
Iconic grocery store. One of the best internationally.
Point Reyes Day Trip — about 1 hour away but an unforgettable coastal drive for guests extending their stay.
Sausalito & Marin Headlands — coastal drive with ocean views, 40–50 minutes away
Napa or Sonoma Wine Country — ~1 hour north, ideal for extended stays.
Oakland Hills’ Chabot Space & Science Center — great for stargazing.
