Oakland sits across the bay from San Francisco and is known for its friendly neighborhoods and love of sports. It has a busy port and green hills.
Feed the animals at the Oakland Zoo, ride the merry-go-round at Children's Fairyland, and picnic by the water at Lake Merritt.
This pretty lake in the middle of the city is a great place to walk, spot birds, and rent a paddle boat.
Children's Fairyland is a storybook park with rides and puppet shows made just for young kids.
