Merced National Wildlife Refuge
Merced,
California 93635
"Nice view from my window..."
I would rate this a lot higher, except there's only one place near the entrance to get out and walk around. The rest of the time you're in your car driving a big, scenic loop. We'd rather get out and have a chance to explore on foot. It's worth going to see, but strictly for kids who would enjoy the view from the car window.

"Fun, but not free"
It's $6/vehicle. During the off season there usually isn't anyone at the entrance booth. But, in summer expect to pay to get in. I love going midweek, it's usually not very crowded (especially in the spring/fall) and it's very relaxing. It has a little playground and lots of picnic tables and grills.

"Cheap and fun :)"
We've been here several times with my girls. They've dubbed it "cowboy town," and look forward to going at least once every summer. We always make a point to do some gold panning, followed by a trip to the candy store so the girls can each pick out a *huge* all-day lollipop.

"Best Ballpark"
We love seeing the Giants play. The stadium is beautiful, and there isn't a bad seat in the stands. We've been up in the view reserved and down in the lower box and have always been able to see all the action.

This is a very family friendly park. We took our kids there last summer and they had a blast on the giant slides. The staff at the slides were very patient and helpful as my nervous daughters decided which one to go on (large or small). The attendant at the bottom of one of the slides even volunteered to take a picture of us. I thought that was really sweet.

We went on Father's Day and after the game, children and their dads got a chance to go down on the field and run the bases. That was such a thrill for my husband (and my girls thought it was fun, too!).

California State Railroad Museum | kids travel, kids activities
California State Railroad Museum
111 I Street,
Sacramento,
California 95814
"Fun for both kids and adults"
This beautiful museum is so much fun! Inside the museum it is very dark, with spotlights on each of the exhibits. You can take a free tour or just wander through by yourself. You'll see actual train engines, passenger cars and all sorts of freight cars.
