The Oakland Zoo was awesome we been to a handful of zoos this has been my favorite so far. You have to buy your tickets online for a specific time pulling up around our designated time, parking and getting in was super easy. There is a lot of ground to cover we opted for going up the Gondola first up at the top we saw wolves, a jaguar, bears, and more they also have their cafe at the top up there which has an awesome view - it may be a little crazy trying to find a table as everyone is there with their family but this particular day weather was perfect so we sat outside and had an awesome view. Would definitely recommend. They have another little lift for $5 per person that takes you directly over the Lions - that was surreal they even let out a little roar while we were going over the top it was insane. There was so many animals it was awesome. They also had some cool reptiles and a little insect room. All in all would definitely recommend be ready to walk.

I feel we nailed it on our timing. We got there before they opened and were first in line. When we got inside we headed straight for the far end of the park and worked our way back. We were able to catch many animals being fed and almost all of them were out and about. We also didn't have to wait in line for the ride or wait to get close to the animals. The weather was perfect and the animals seemed to be putting on a show. The lions were roaring and playing, the monkeys and chimpanzees showing off, and more. It was a fantastic experience and a wonderfully kept up zoo. The animals seemed well taken care of. I value that.

I'm a teacher in San Francisco, and I'm always on the lookout for the best field trip experiences in the Bay Area. The Oakland Zoo has become one of our absolute favorites. Over the years, I've tried several of their educational options: the first year we booked a wildlife assembly (we were the only class there), the second year we participated in the ZooSchool program, and this year we explored the self-guided option. Each experience has been well-organized and engaging for students. In the past we never had time to ride the gondola or explore the zoo on our own so we never collected Zoo cards. My students this year loved collecting cards throughout the day, but what really stood out was an Oakland Zoo staff member who went above and beyond at the end of the day. He took the time to trade cards with my students and make the experience feel extra special. The Oakland Zoo is, in my opinion, far superior to the San Francisco Zoo in terms of both educational value and visitor experience. We'll definitely continue returning year after year. Highly recommend it for teachers, families, and anyone looking for a meaningful and memorable day at the zoo! I also attended glowfari for the first time last year and WOW! It is worth every penny. The decorations are up and it's looking EPIC this year.

It's a good Zoo, but the access for people walking is difficult. The lower entrance was closed and we have to walk the road with all the cars. There is a "sidewalk", but we had to walk around it using the road most of the time. The installations are great and big for the animals, bigger than other zoos, and there is enrichment. The workers were really nice and enthusiast, explaining facts about the animals and the conservation efforts. The views from the California Trail are excellent, you can see Oakland and San Francisco skylines.

Had an amazing experience! There are so many fun learning areas and awesome playgrounds for the kids. The animals were super active, the gondola rides were a bonus, and the bay views were the cherry on top. Definitely a place we’ll visit again!

It was my first time to Oakland zoo and it was such a fun time! We went around 1pm on a Saturday, it was pretty hot and luckily some animals were very active! Favorite exhibit was grizzly bears, wolves, giraffes, we went to 3 different bear exhibits and they were all so cute. Definitely take the sky ride! We took it and were able to see sleeping lions resting underneath the shade further back in their exhibit. If we didn’t take the sky ride, we definitely wouldn’t have been able to see them. It also has great views of the bay! We also did the train ride- this one took a bit long to get on as there were so many families and large parties. This is the only way to access wallabies and emus. It was fun to see emus up close- but maybe would skip if you’re short on time and the train line is too long. Definitely would come back again to enjoy the park- who doesn’t love animals?

I have loved the Oakland zoo forever, for their top-notch habitats, husbandry, and ethics. But today I had such a unique experience and felt like I needed to leave a review. I went with my family around opening this morning, and shortly after we took the gondola up to the upper zoo area, it had to be temporarily shut down for safety. The staff (specifically the EMT) checked in with us regularly to answer our questions (like if the cafe would still be opening with only a small handful of people up there- it did! And when the shuttles would be coming to take us down). It was kinda fun to have a more "private" experience at the zoo since nobody else was able to come up, and to get to see the veterinary hospital in a normally private section of the zoo as the shuttle took us back down. But the point of my review is just how wonderfully all the staff handled the weird situation (and my in-law's redundent questions, haha). Definitely eat at the cafe- it was yummy and the outdoor view over the bay was beautiful. Unfortunately, the gift shop is currently closed for construction.

Got to the ballpark early to see BP. The Redbirds were in town. The Giants fans were friendly. The staff at Oracle were some of the nicest people you would want to meet. Just about everyone was smiling as they asked if you needed anything. The views from anywhere in the park are amazing. San Francisco is truly reprinted throughout the ballpark. They even have a trolley car! Lol. Awesome. The Willie Mays statue is a thing of beauty. It was the 1st thing I searched out. Arguably the greatest player ever and was a better human being. Truly missed. Mr.National podcast had a great time and shall definitely return.

First Time at Oracle Park — Absolutely Stunning! ⚾️🌉 This was my first time watching a game at Oracle Park, and I’ve got to say — it’s probably the most beautiful stadium I’ve ever been to. The atmosphere, the views, and the energy were all incredible. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect, and the food options were top-notch — plenty of variety and great quality throughout the park. Everything from entering the stadium to finding our seats was smooth and convenient. The traffic flow getting in and out was surprisingly easy, nothing outside of the norm for a big event like this. Overall, it was an amazing experience watching the San Francisco Giants here. If you ever get the chance, Oracle Park is 100% worth the visit — easily one of the best stadium experiences out there! 🧡🖤

Oracle Park is one of the most beautiful ballparks in the country! The setting right by the bay is absolutely stunning, with amazing views of the water and the Bay Bridge. The atmosphere during games is electric, and the park is always clean, organized, and easy to navigate. The food selection is excellent from classic ballpark snacks to local favorites and everything feels fresh and well-prepared. The staff is friendly, and every seat offers a great view of the field. Whether you’re a baseball fan or just visiting for the views, Oracle Park is a must-see experience in San Francisco.

Best park in America. Views are incredible and there is no bad seat in this stadium. Night games have a magical feeling. And day games are fun to be next to the water. The food is amazing. They have options for everyone, and the popular item is the garlic bread crab sandwich. 10/10 dish. No better MLB stadium out there!

I love this place. Very fan friendly. There are all sorts of statues and plaques commemorating giants baseball heroes and milestones. you could come on an off day and just walk around the outside looking at those for awhile. Parking is kinda crazy though. If you can get a spot close to the stadium as early as you can online. Otherwise it's a quite a walk. Also look into taking the ferry over. It's much cheaper than parking and takes you right to the stadium!

Giants vs Yankees...This is a beautiful ballpark, and we watched a great baseball game, but the standout was the fabulous crab sandwich, on buttery sour dough, purchased from the stands behind the outfield. This stadium is beyond fan family friendly. The views of and from this stadium are amazing. One of the real highlights of attending a Giants game at Oracle Park is the fabulous (pricey) crab sandwich here at Crazy. Though the crab is real and great, and the bread is toasted perfectly with butter. We could only wish for less wind lol. But the great sandwich makes up for any small discomfort. Have a brew with it, and it ends up perfectly. 100% recommend!

Pretty cool area around the stadium. A little hard to figure out which entrance is open for regular public when walking in for a game. Lots of food options all around. Get club tickets for cool history. The club level was fantastic. Staff inside were pretty nice.

A very educational Museum with lots of information on the fantastic little cable cars you can get throughout San Francisco. Highly recommend you ride the Cable Cars while you're here, they're incredible fun, and a good way to see the sights too. We paid $35 on the MUNI app for unlimited rides on both Buses and Cable Cars. If you ride the Cars and are then interested in learning how they work, then visiting this FREE museum is a must!

💚 Fans infrastructure or public transportation history will be in heaven at this museum. 💚 Visitors are able to fully view the mechanics, in operation, powering the cable car lines throughout the city. 💚 The museum is full of displays and historic photos. Many with the sole purpose of explaining how the cable cars operate. 💚 Great gift shop! 💚 FREE admission!

Amazing displays, we can see the infrastructure powering the cable cars around town, as well as displays outlining the history of cable cars around San Francisco. this place is great for anyone who is interested in history and San Francisco!

If you hate interesting in learning first hand how the cable cars work or are in the area, the visit is worth the time. The entrance is free and the museum provides easy to understand information regarding the operation of cable cars of San Francisco. There is a nice souvenir shop in the museum too.

I was blown away at the complexity of the cable car system and the inside view you get here. There are many wonderful stories about the cable cars here, you will receive quite an education by spending an hour or two here.

Wow, that was such a great experience! It’s totally free to get in, and you get a super cool look into the history of San Francisco’s cable cars.

Great layout, free admission, neat to see how it all works. Good little gift shop, but they only took cash and we had to put back dome of the items we wanted to buy because we didn't have enough money on us.

This was quite a nice section of San Fran with the Ferry Building, the Port of San Fran and the markets / food sections. There's a couple of street shops too which had some unique items which was cool. The food markets are not too bad although some were closing up at 5pm on a weekday. There is a bit of homeless action going on down there though so whilst we didn't feel unsafe or anything - it's something to be aware of especially if you are tourists. I probably wouldn't be walking around at night which is a shame as it looks like it would be beautiful then. Walking there or catching the train is quite easy. There are ferries taking you to Oakland which we didn't do but looked worthwhile (we just couldn't find a reason worth going there). We ended up walking up The Embarcadero which was really nice and easy to walk. We nearly ended up all the way back at the Fisherman's Wharf in 30 minutes or so.

Beautiful place to walk around. The whole area is just really nice — lots of shops, lots of food, and plenty of spots to sit down and take in the views. It’s also super close to Pier 39, which makes exploring both really easy. I’d definitely come back again and spend more time here. Highly recommended.

My first time taken a ferry since I became an adult. It was incredible! The staff was super friendly i met Dj cheerful attitude has a way of brightening the room. His optimism and good humor create a more pleasant atmosphere for everyone around them. He has a welcoming smile."I have no doubt Dj will continue to be a positive influence in all his future endeavors." The ride was peaceful! The water was liberating! I'd be definitely,be riding the ferry more often.

The Ferry Building is a must-visit in San Francisco with so many great food options and local shops all under one roof. The farmers’ market is lively and full of fresh produce, and the views of the Bay Bridge make it extra special. It’s a bit pricey, but the quality and atmosphere make it worth the trip.

It's a nice place on seashore where you can do good shopping in ferry building shops and can have some awesome snacks with coffee. Behind the ferry building, it's a very scenic place to view the cable bridge and also city's skyline. There is Mahatma Gandhi's statue also behind the ferry building. As an Indian, it was a proud moment for me to find this statue here. His message written below the statue is so much relevant in today's world of wars between the various countries. There is a good sitting area behind the ferry building.

How has this place not yet been ruined? This whole neighborhood tho, has mostly prevented/blocked/crushed Market/Tenderloin drift. If your compassion excludes helpful structure, it's just toxic "charity" not compassion.

Overall, I liked everything, but the area around the building wasn't perfectly clean, and there were queues in the toilets, too, and they weren't very clean. Overall, I had a good impression, and of course, there were quite a lot of people everywhere.

This is a must-see attraction in SF. Everyone loves to see or drive down this path. The view was gorgeous from the top, and the flowers were in bloom. Great pics to take, and I preferred to walk to really take it all in.

Beautiful street but not worth the hype. It was so busy with tourists and cars. Worth going for the view on top of the steps

Nice views from top and bottom of the street. Likely more picturesque in the spring with all of the flowers in bloom

So fun. Such a hard walk up the hill but worth it going down. Gorgeous, unique

This is my third time to this attraction. The scenery here is still pleasing to the eye. I like to see tourists from all over the world being intoxicated in this way. It is very romantic.

This is a must see. Everyone should experience this beautiful street. We walked down and back up and also drove down this street. Highly recommend doing all three. The flowers we so amazingly beautiful.

Great to see absolute disaster cars everywhere. Honking. People taking illegal turns I don’t blame them some of the time it’s a nightmare to get down the road. I got there from the top maybe it’s better at the bottom? But I didn’t bother was complete mess. The traffic cops do there best but it’s overwhelming.

Pier 39 is one of the most fun and lively spots in San Francisco! It’s full of energy, with beautiful views of the bay, Alcatraz, and the Golden Gate Bridge. The atmosphere is festive, with street performers, music, and the famous sea lions lounging by the docks a highlight for everyone. There are plenty of shops, restaurants, and attractions for all ages. You can enjoy fresh seafood, take a boat tour, or just stroll around and take in the views. Everything is clean, safe, and well maintained, making it a perfect stop for tourists and locals alike. Pier 39 perfectly captures the charm and excitement of San Francisco a must-visit destination that combines great food, entertainment, and stunning waterfront

Sea lions, sunsets, and a lively boardwalk vibe Pier 39 is one of those places that instantly feels alive, a mix of sea breeze, music, and the occasional bark of a sea lion echoing from the docks. I didn’t need to buy any tickets in advance; the main attraction, the sea lions, are free to watch if you find a good spot by the water. It’s one of those simple yet memorable moments where you just stand there, camera in hand, and enjoy their lazy, sun-bathing charm. The pier itself is full of options, cozy restaurants, souvenir shops, ice-cream stands, and smoothie bars. I didn’t get to try everything, but everything I did try, from snacks to smoothies, was genuinely good. The staff were friendly and helpful everywhere we stopped, which made the whole experience even better. Nearby, there are a few attractions like the Ferris wheel and some boat tours that might require tickets, but they’re optional. Honestly, just walking around the pier at sunset already feels like an experience on its own. If you’re coming by scooter or bike, I’d recommend checking how busy it is first. Scooters are manageable, but on crowded days, maneuvering a bike could be tricky. All in all, Pier 39 is more than just a tourist stop, it’s a place to slow down, take in the bay air, and feel the pulse of San Francisco by the water. 🌅

My family and I really enjoyed our day stroll at Pier 39. The weather was perfect when we visited! It was a bit crowded in some areas, but we still found plenty of nice spots to sightsee and walk around. There are lots of great food options and cafés to choose from. Finding a restroom was a bit of a challenge, but overall, it was still a wonderful day!

Pier 39 is one of the liveliest and most iconic spots in San Francisco — full of energy, colors, and that unmistakable ocean breeze. You’ll find street performers, souvenir shops, seafood restaurants, and of course, the famous sea lions lounging on the wooden docks. It’s especially magical to see the sea lions in the evening, as the sun begins to set — the light turns golden, the crowds thin out, and the whole pier feels calmer and more cinematic. Watching them bark and play against the backdrop of the sunset is one of those small San Francisco moments you never forget. ✨ Tip: Come around sunset for the best atmosphere, softer light, and the perfect mix of sea breeze and golden glow.

Fun place to spend a little time. Easy shopping. Got to see some sea lions and had a yummy bowl of chowder in a bread bowl and freshly made donuts. Great view of Alcatraz at one end and San Francisco at the other!

The typical place for all tourists to visit at least once. A few carnival-style rides & attractions for kids, Bubbz Gumps restaurant a Mexican & surf themed casual restaurant & bar ,biscoff cafe , Hard Rock cafe. There is a In & Out burger joint just a little further back past the ship wheel.

Visiting fisherman’s wharf was probably the highlight of our San Francisco trip. So many cute shops, the best place to buy any souvenirs for your family and friends. The Biscoff Café was so good as well as the ice cream shops. Highly recommend!

If you are in San Fran, you have to visit Alcatraz. I used Alcatraz City Cruises and I recommend them. It is a smooth process getting to and leaving the island. Once you are on the island, you can take a guided audio tour or explore on your own. From a historical perspective, it is worth checking out and it gives you a really new perspective on how the "Rock" was used and how it has evolved over time. Being there and experiencing it is a lot different than reading about it or watching shows about it.

What a wonderful time i had. Great tour. Thank you Brian Stannard for all you explaining and knowledge. I look forward to reading your book. What a time I also got to meet a former inmate William G Baker. #1259.

This tour was a lot of fun. Enjoyed learning the history of the prison and hearing stories of other things that happened. A nice ride out and great photo ops. Book your tickets ahead and plan on spending at least 2 hours to do the walking tour and self guided tour.

Loved it! The audio tour was really great and informative! Got a full walk through with the tour then you are free to wonder around and see more of the Island and can always go back and look at the block all over again if you want! Was a great time!! We did the night tour and it wasnt to packed.

If you visit San Francisco this tour is a must. Recommend going on the Park ranger walk. It's very informative. The audio tour, while in the cell house was also well done. Park staff were very friendly. Take the time to enjoy this national land mark.

We opted for the Behind The Scenes Tour and are very glad we did! We've been to numerous prison, penitentiary and jail museums and wanted to see all of this one, the alpha omega of prisons! The tour includes places not accessible without a guide so we got to see more than most. Our tour guide was amazing, he was very knowledgeable of both the military prison and the federal prison eras which was greatly appreciated. He eagerly answered questions and happily elaborated on any areas requested. Getting to go underground through the tunnel and mote and learning how they were used during both eras was fascinating. The behind the scenes part is pretty quick, we were whisked from one spot to the next and although our guide said he'd wait until the entire group was reassembled, he started way before we all got there! Had to be super quick up those steep hills! Also included was the Night Tour and the audio tour so it's a complete look at Alcatraz! We thoroughly enjoyed the Indian Occupation exhibit and highly recommend going through all of it, it's quite moving.

We visited Alcatraz recently and really enjoyed the experience! The boat ride was pleasant, and once on the island we had access to a very informative audio guide that helped us understand how the prison operated during its time of use. I especially liked that you had to walk and listen at the same time, it made the visit more immersive! The ticket was a bit expensive, but we’re really glad we went!

We arrived on a Saturday around 10 AM, and there were already many people in the park. Since the park is quite large, it didn’t feel crowded. We chose the Stream Trail, which is a loop trail. It took us about two hours to complete the loop. Most of the trail is shaded, making it very comfortable on a summer day. There is approximately a 30-minute hike uphill, so I recommend carrying a hiking stick for those who may have balance issues. The trail itself is beautiful and well-maintained, with lots of redwood trees, and most hikers were very friendly and courteous. There are plenty of clean restrooms at the trailhead, and I highly suggest using the restroom before starting the hike. Additionally, there are several large parking lots, and we had no trouble finding a parking space.

Kimmy and I hiked here for time. We both impressed. Long paved trails with bathroom and water stations along path. Trail gently sloping and easy to walk. If you are more adventures, review map at trail head. Highly recommend. Kimmy gives 2 paws 🐾 up.

Love this place. Taken my mom and friends and everyone enjoyed. There are some bugs so bring spray and you can't get lost all the paths ends up leading you back out just remember if you go up come back down. Beautiful trees and birds and sometimes you can hear the creek running and it's so nice. There's lots of parking and the park stays open late and it's free after 5pm so it's nice in the summer to have 3hrs or hike or outside time before dark. I've met some really interesting people some from New York even a cat that's famous on Instagram. There's dogs and they are supposed to be in leashes but not always just be careful and keep an eye out. There's a ton of bathrooms. The air is so great I always feel 1000x better each time I go.

Beautiful redwood park. Wide paths. Saw bike riders there. Lots of bathrooms. Nature wonder land. Free parking during the week. Great place to get a nice hike in and de stress. Passed by a playground. Dogs on leashes! Passed by a picnic area.

Beautiful hiking trail with lots of large Red wood trees which makes it shady and cool in hot summer days. You may see some lady birds and squirrels. Horse riders, runners and hikers share the same trail.

Beautiful park and great place to go for a walk and enjoy the nice weather! Took a quick trip to Oakland and went here to see the trees and took a nice walk. Very nice and clean park to visit!

For being to close and easy to get to it’s great to enjoy some nice trails with pretty views. I didn’t plan well so just went out and back about 3 miles and it was nice. Probably a good idea to look at all the different trails and plan a route but even just wandering was nice.

The Blackhawk Museum is absolutely amazing! We've already been there twice and every time we are blown away. The animals inside are so realistic — it feels like you're seeing them in real life! Even though we are big animal lovers, we discovered so many species we had never even heard of before. It's such a fun and educational experience. Outside the museum, there are plenty of food options with restaurants and stores nearby, plus a great playground for kids. It’s the perfect place to spend a whole day with family. Highly recommend!

The Blackhawk Museum is truly a hidden gem! The exhibits are absolutely stunning, from the incredible classic cars to the unique cultural displays that make you feel like you’re stepping into another world. Everything is beautifully curated and presented with such attention to detail. The museum is spotless, well-organized, and easy to explore, whether you’re a car enthusiast, a history buff, or just looking for an inspiring day out. The staff is welcoming, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. It’s the kind of place you can come back to again and again because there’s always something new to discover. Highly recommend for families, friends, or anyone who loves learning and seeing something extraordinary.

My son heard about the Blackhawk Museum from a friend, I was a little skeptica to visit since we had to drive an hour and 15 minutes, thankfully I was pleasantly surprised. What a fun place! The had a variety of displays. There is a car display, privately owned the owners are sharing with the museum. There are rare cars to see ip close,what a treat. There's an exhibit on China, the wild west, nature something for everybody. We didn't give ourselves enough time to explore the wild west, we need to go back. The staff were all very professional and helpful.

The museum hosted the San Ramon and Danville Chambers of Commerce for a fantastic networking mixer. It is a beautiful location for any event, and its exhibits are unique—no other museum in the East Bay can compare! Thank you for a really fun evening!

Absolutely amazed at the size of this museum, beautifully designed with incredibly detailed displays. Very clean , extremely friendly staff . There is a plaza with Plenty of little shops and restaurants and a playground for kids adjacent to Blackhawk museum.

Nice Place to visit. Special Concession for Senior citizen. Ticket once Purchased is valid for whole day.Personal collection made available to the public. The car section, China section and the wild west section are amazing. The African wood carvings section has a small collection, but it's also beautiful.

Amazing excellent spent 3 hours and could have spent more time. Obfuscation placards and friendly staff

The employees are doing the best with what they got. Typical amusement park food was over priced and under temperature. lol. At least they have over priced cold beer to soften the blow from the over priced room temperature food. The kids had fun and that’s what really matters. Thank you to the lifeguards. Without you guys all us parents would have to be on edge all day. 🛟💪🏽💪🏽

Great place to chill this blazing hot summer time. Take your whole family and friends and relax to the cool pools around its vicinity. Meet new friends, share great experiences. Clean surroundings, cold water, great cabana and shelter to stay-in. Snacks/foods was adjusted, before it was 3hours to take refills, now its 4hours. It was a fun experience!

We visited on 7/13/2025 and had a mostly good time. The kids had a good time in the wave pool, on the slides, etc. As others have said, they could do a better job moving people thru the slides more quickly and efficiently, but it was good enough for what it was. Also, the men’s bathroom by the end of the day was an unhygienic disaster. They really need a separate, dedicated changing area. The really odd thing is the food situation. Many places we went for food, we were regularly told that the menus were not accurate in showing what was actually available. The attached photo shows the entrees and says “Served with fries.” I read this to mean that all items on this screen were “entrees” and all included fries. I did four orders of pizza and four kids meals and none of them came with fries. When I asked about it, the cashier said that only the first two items came with fries. That is certainly not indicated in any way on this menu. It feels like a bait and switch. I then made a second purchase for two orders of fries and the cashier failed to produce a receipt for the order even though I asked her for it within seconds of paying. She looked around for the receipt and asked a coworker for help and they came up empty handed. She then shrugged and said there was nothing she could do. I was not happy and she knew it. When I got back to my cabana, I then noticed that my fry orders were of two different sizes. I paid the same amount for the two orders, why would they be different sizes? What is going on here? Between the inconsistent food quantities, inaccurate signage, high prices, and inability to get a receipt when requested, I couldn’t help but feel exploited. As you can see from the screens, we are paying a lot of money for food that is mediocre at best. They should at least update the digital signs so that they are accurate and the employees should deliver us a correct order and produce receipts when requested. I’m still giving this place three stars (really 2.5 stars feels more accurate) because I want to be fair and the experience, aside from the food and the bathroom, was fine (grading on a curve). However, if we’re going to be gouged on the food, at least be clear on what we actually are, and are not, getting for our money and make sure that everyone is able to get a receipt for every single purchase.

There are workers that look like they’d rather be somewhere else. Why are they there in the first place? It looks like they are getting paid to stand and stare at nothing. Especially in the kids slide areas. There are numerous times where the kids slam into each other because they don’t watch how many kids go down the slide. My nephews got hit in the back and I caught one of the times when it happened. Also if a worker asks a little kid if they are tall enough to ride the ride, is safety on the top of their mind? How can they ask a little kid? Shouldn’t they be the ones to check?

Great on a hot day. Get tix in advance online as they are cheaper. No food allowed. A small locker cost $11. Lines were long and not all the slides were in operation

Coming from Texas, this place lacks some things for us. It's small, 2 of the main rides were closed, the drop slide only one slide was working, I think it's beyond ridiculous that you have to rent out tubes for the day. Very little lay out chairs. On the positive side the park is very clean, the staff was really great.

My experience here was terrible to say at the least. I will not be returning. First of all, the food is unnecessarily expensive, almost all the big rides were closed, and the same songs were playing on repeat the whole entire day. I also rented a cabana for $250 which promised a ceiling fan and beverages, and NEITHER of them were fufilled. In addition, after the main pool was closed, there was a goose in the pool. The bathrooms are also beyond disgusting, and I am not over exaggerating. I am very unsatisfied with my stay and DO NOT RECOMMEND TO OTHERS.

The Ferry Building has my favorite coffee shop in it as well as a top room, so it's a social hangout spot while you wait for the ferry to arrive. I've only used the ferry itself once, and it was an easy experience. It can get EXTREMELY busy, so make sure to give yourself plenty of time. My favorite thing about the ferry building? THE VIEWS. The whole area is beautiful. It's right across the water from Mare Island, which make for beautiful scenery. Make sure to stay and walk around and enjoy the waterfront.

Can’t complain, fast, efficient , and quiet boat, only thing I can add is that they should and NEED to clean the windows so we can actually see out to the ocean

We love taking the Ferry from the Vallejo Ferry Building. It’s the perfect travel experience into San Francisco. There is a walkway along the water, a nice coffee shop, brewery and restaurants for convenience while waiting to catch the ferry.

It’s an amazing adventure to get on this. Minus point is the size of the ship is kinda small.

Absolutely avoid parking in the assigned parking area! It’s not worth it. You might as well drive to San Francisco yourself. My family and I drove down 3 hours for a Giants game. We thought taking the fairy would be fun. Came back and our Cadillac converter was stolen from our car. This WAS DONE IN PURE DAYLIGHT. This place definitely lacks security. There is absolutely no security cameras. Sketchy people parked all around that will sit there for hours watching people as they leave. Homeless tents everywhere and doubled the 3 hours we were gone. Last time we choose to go. Environment is not safe.

The Ferry ride was fine. We parked in Vallejo and took the Ferry to SF , and stayed 3 nights. We came back and our car was broken into. Broke the small window in the back. Nothing was stolen but they went through my cargo bag.

This was lots of fun. I can see why people chose this method of transportation over BART! It was spacious, clean, there were bathrooms, had a great view, you can eat and drink on the ferry too! I don't know why it took me so long to try this. It was a little more expensive than other forms of commuting, but definitely worth it! On the return trip, there was a Ferry employee that told us stories and made everyone laugh. It was great weather and lots of fun to sit outside and watch the water! I don't ever want to take BART to get to San Francisco again! Once it got dark, it was such a treat to enjoy the lights from the deck. I would like to ride the ferry every day.

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom is, overall, a nicely designed park that offers an interesting mix of thrill rides, family attractions, and animal exhibits – somewhere between a zoo and a theme park. 🎢🦓 The park is clean, well laid out, and has something for everyone. Up until about 5 PM, I had a really good time – great atmosphere, nice weather, and a fun day overall. One big plus was the Oktoberfest event that happened during my visit. 🍺 Of course, it doesn’t quite reach the level of a real German Oktoberfest, but I have to give them credit – they put a lot of effort into making it feel authentic with themed decorations, music, and matching food and beer. It was a really fun and well-done touch that added to the experience. 🎶🥨 And I say that as a German. Unfortunately, things went downhill later in the evening. I went across the street to check in at my hotel and tried to re-enter the park at 6:10 PM for the Halloween event, but was denied re-entry because of a park policy stating that guests can only re-enter until 6:00 PM. The park wasn’t even close to being full, so the rule felt unnecessary and inflexible. Even after speaking with a supervisor, there was no exception, no understanding, no real effort to help. That’s sadly the kind of poor customer service Six Flags is known for – sticking rigidly to rules instead of showing flexibility or basic guest consideration. It’s especially disappointing because I would have gladly spent more time (and money) in the park that evening, especially with the Halloween and Oktoberfest activities going on. On top of that, the ride operations were, as usual for Six Flags, very slow and inefficient – dispatches often took five to seven minutes per train, which kills the pacing of the day and causes unnecessary waits. Bottom line: A nice park overall, with an interesting mix of rides and animals and a well-organized Oktoberfest that showed real effort and heart. But the lack of flexibility and poor customer service left a bad impression. With better operations and a more guest-friendly attitude, Six Flags Discovery Kingdom could easily be a top-tier park – unfortunately, this visit left me with mixed feelings and just two stars.

Fright Fest was fun and the Halloween decorations were really good! They turned on fog machines as soon as it got dark and had scary characters walking around. My son had soo much fun it was like being in a real haunted graveyard. It was a long walk from the parking lot to get to entrance I suggest dropping people off by the front. They have great roller coasters. We rented a locker for $22 which was soo helpful. The average wait for all rides was 45 min to 2 hours so that was tough for a group of boys under 12 yo. If the lines were quicker I would give it 5/5. It's a long walk back to the parking lot.

I had a great time at Six Flags even though a lot of the reviews I see are negative. Good: - We got the FLASH Premium pass and it was absolutely the right call - we barely waited in line, and when the Batman ride opened at night we got on after about 15 min in line instead of 90 minutes - We went for the Fright Fest as well, and the mazes were well done! I liked the haunted mansion the best, club fear wasn't that great since it was very empty and not as many actors inside. The spooky vibes were great and the actors seemed to have a good time - My favorite rides were the Joker, Batman, and the Wonder Woman Lasso ride, that's definitely the longest ride. Superman was also high thrill. - The park wasn't super busy on a Saturday, and parking was easy as well. Very walkable - Dolphin show had cool tricks, but the talk track is definitely for kids Bad: - Food is really expensive, $20 for basically a single slice of pizza and salad - Gets really hot during the day, but cool during the night so bring layers Overall this was a really great experience and would come again

What a mighty park for its size! Good variety of roller coasters and friendly park staff. Lines are long as usual but if you can afford a flash pass it makes the day that much more enjoyable. The cool thing is they have a mini zoo in the back of the park. The animals were so cool to look at and offered a nice change to the loud and hectic front of the park.

Great park! Grab a flash pass if you're visiting for the day, they have some fantastic coasters that you'll want to ride multiple times! Scare Feat was meh, I wouldn't pay for any of the mazes again, but it was great to ride their iconic coasters at night.

It use.to be a great place for rides and animals, but it's depressing to see less animals and expensive to eat, perhaps they offer more over the summer. I went in late October, only offered the dolphin and walrus show, dolphin show was cute, the walrus show was boring. The aquarium is a joke, like 1 small shark, 1 or 2 nurse shark, a handful of big fish. The cheetahs were active though and plenty of them compared to other animals. A lunch of burger, fries and a drink for one person is 30! Funnel.fries were good but 17 bucks is crazy. They don't take cash

It's decent. Some rides gave me a headache and would not recommend. Food is decently price and around the same price you'd get at any other cedar fair parks. Their scare fest is really small and very wimpy than from what I've expected. But overall, their sea lion and dolphin shows were great!

Absolutely beautiful building and proiperty with mediocre wine and service. We came earlier in the day and thoroughly enjoyed an olive oil tasting at their “Pressed” location so we expected similar service here, but it fell short. The wines were decent, we bought a case, but there were only 2 we liked enough to buy. The guy who did our tasting seemed disconnected from us, though he tried to be pleasant. Overall, we weren’t impressed.

We visited this winery on a Wednesday and were able to walk in for a wine tasting without a reservation. Our server was very knowledgeable and gave us information on each wine, where the grapes grew, and other interesting facts about the family. We ordered a charcuterie board and also sampled the olive oils in their olive oil shop. We stayed in Sausalito and were able to get here in about 45 minutes.

Beautiful place to spend an afternoon tasting wines. We found the place while driving and were not disappointed. They have gorgeous outdoor seating where we enjoyed their wine looking out the vast field of the vineyard. Their food menu is not extensive yet the choices will fill you up. We ended up ordering pizza with bruschetta. We were a group of 4 so we tried their white & red wine. The prices were reasonable for a bottle and the wines were really good. You can bring kids but i would recommend making an adult trip to this place.

We had a great experience at the bar with the bartenders Sam and Tim, after taking a look in the shop there and trying some pretty spectacular olive oils and balsamics. I bought a 6 pack that I put together with my favorites and just know I will be bummed when I run out, being from Chicago will make it hard to just go and stock up again but wow their carmalized onion balsamic is beyond words. I ended up joining the wine club because of how amazing the service and wine was. The chocolate wine shot was fun. The wine is poured directly into a piece of chocolate. Beautiful property and A++ would recommend.

Beautiful building and property! Service was excellent! Thank you Lauren for a fantastic wine tasting and Genevieve for an exquisite olive oil and vinegar tasting. This was definitely our favorite stop!

I'm from Utah. This is my favorite winery, hands down. Everyone is so accommodating, the wine is fantastic, the grounds are phenomenal, and the experience is always the best. I bring cases of wine home because I can't get it in Utah. I could rattle off a handful of different times where everyone; like literally the whole winery went above and beyond to appease me. I visit every year. Multiple times in some years, and Jacuzzi is just always a high mark above...everywhere else. *FAVORITE*

We came without a reservation and they were so kind to fit us in, very beautiful property, loved the bread oil tasting, the chocolate shot was fun and Derek was great! Would definitely come back!

Very nice winery but the tasting was a little commercialized compared to others. The location is located near a highway but the grounds were beautiful. The views were nice as well. The tasting was average as we shared a waiter who explained the wines but would end up having to leave to help other tables. We sat with many others. The wine was pretty good and the Charcuterie we ordered was good.

Domaine Carneros is known for their bubbly, but they also have fantastic Pinot Noirs. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and the perfect single stop before hitting DT Napa so my parents from out of town could experience the beauty of Napa Vineyards. The service was wonderful and we were so happy with how tastings were executed: they bring all the glasses and wines out together, pour each glass one at a time and give their spiel for each one as they are pouring, and then they leave you to enjoy each one at your own pace (as opposed to pouring them one at a time and constantly interrupting your group convo/not allowing you to tasting each one to decide which is your favorite) highly recommend if you like bubbly or pinot noir!

Very beautiful place. I believe our waiter was named Neil. He has some amazing green eyes! He was friendly and helpful. Great explanations.od the wine and the Peruvian pairing. It was truly just "bites.". So eat before you go! We ordered charcuterie as well, but still ended up going down the street to get food after. I definitely could have eaten a whole bowl of the stew!

My visit to Domaine Carneros was absolutely lovely. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable—they took their time explaining each wine in our tasting flight, which made the experience both fun and informative. The tasting room had a calm and elegant atmosphere with beautiful vineyard views through the windows. It felt peaceful and relaxing the entire time. The wines were excellent, especially the sparkling ones, and the small cheese and snack platter was a nice surprise (I honestly can’t remember if I ordered it or not!). The place was clearly popular, but it never felt crowded. I’ll definitely come back again—and yes, I’m including a video because pictures alone can’t capture how nice it was!

Domaine Carneros was a highlight of our road trip! Our server was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his job, making our experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was peaceful and inviting, perfect for sipping wine. The wines were absolutely delicious, and the sparkling rosé stole the show—it was simply delightful! We visited with friends, and everyone had a wonderful time. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

Great experience. I strongly suggest a tasting room reservation as this place is usually packed. And aim for late afternoon, this is when things slow down a bit. Bring a camera or charge your phone because there are great photo opportunities as you make your way up the stair. Yes, I just said stairs, and there are quite a few of them, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes. Everyone was able to choose their own flight selection, we paired it with the caviar flight and charcuterie board. And the food tasted amazing. We bought the mimosa sugar cubes on our way in and trust, they helped with some of the flight samples. The atmosphere was warm and inviting (we opted for the indoor seating, and lucked up and landed a spot next to the blazing fireplace). Overall we had a great time, and will definitely be visiting again soon. If you have never been this is definitely one to add to your bucket list.

This was the first winery i visited on my Napa trip and it was a great way to start, i think if i ended with it i may have been underwhelmed. The location is gorgeous and perfect for photos, the lighting is perfect. The pours are generous and i enjoyed all of the wine we got to try. They have food available to add on, we got their charcuterie board and it was pretty overpriced but it paired well with the wine. The service was okay, it took a while for anyone to help us and our waiter spilled wine and water while pouring a few times. Overall, this was a fun time and it was on the cheaper side for a wine tasting so it was definitely worth it!

Sonoma Plaza is one of those rare places that feels both lively and peaceful at the same time. Surrounded by historic architecture, boutique shops, and incredible restaurants, it’s the perfect place to stroll, relax, and soak in the charm of wine country. The park at the center is beautifully maintained — great for families, couples, or just sitting with a coffee and watching the world go by. Whether you’re into wine tasting, art galleries, or simply enjoying a scenic afternoon, Sonoma Plaza is a must stop. There’s a timeless quality to the place that makes you want to linger. Highly recommended for both first-time visitors and locals rediscovering its magic.

Beautiful landscaped square with many shops and restaurants around it. Tuesday was market day with food stalls, local sellers and live music. Many people brought their own outdoor set up and picnic. Nice atmosphere

We have always loved coming here and through the years it has never changed. Boutique hotels, great wine and amazing food. It is great for a couples getaway and lots to do with kids also. The square is something you need to see. It is also rated in the top 10 Fourth of July fireworks displays in the country. We went last year and it was unbelievable.

Lots of spots to tuck into, shops, eateries, ice cream, wine tastings, liquor tastings and more. Very walkable. Sweet little square/park in the center. Lots of parking (3 hrs).

Great downtown area, very walkable with a unique variety of shops, restaurants and tasting rooms. Spent much more time in this concentrated area than anticipated. Great people, great experiences, great time.

This is such a nice place. I'm returning in two weeks. Places to stay like the Eldorado, where I stay and lots of restaurants and shops to keep you busy and the beautiful Sonoma square to enjoy

Quaint square within Sonoma. Beautiful walk, lined with cafés, shops, and restaurants. Highly recommend visiting.

One of the best outlet malls in the North State. Great prices & selections. We were there this past weekend & found shoes for all my kids. The North Face also had a 60% clearance sale!! Needless to say, it was like Christmas in March!! Time to do an epic haul video.

Vacaville Premium Outlets is definitely a go-to spot if you’re looking to score great deals on name-brand items. I recently visited and was impressed by the variety of stores and the discounts available. I found some amazing deals at Zales, where the prices on select pieces were significantly marked down—perfect for a special occasion or just to treat yourself. I also found some great finds at a few other shops, especially on shoes and seasonal apparel. The outlet layout is spread across two main sections, so be prepared for a bit of walking, but the grounds are generally clean and easy to navigate. Parking can get crowded during peak hours, but I was still able to find a spot without too much hassle. Most stores were well-stocked and the staff were helpful and friendly. It’s not the most upscale shopping destination, but if you’re after variety, name brands, and solid discounts, this is a great place to spend a few hours. A solid outlet experience overall—and worth the stop if you’re in the area or looking to do some serious bargain shopping!

My family absolutely LOVES the Vacaville Premium Outlet Mall! We live a few hours away and drive over the hill for about 3 hours each direction to shop here. We come a few times a year, especially during holidays when sales are fabulous! We shop at about 75% of the stores, making purchases at most. We spend a nice chunk of change each time but we make out like bandits with sooo much stuff! Always happy with our experience. Thanks to ALL the employees who put in so much effort to make our time there great and well loved.

Honestly, this is my go to outlet mall. I love how much parking there is and I feel the stores do carry quite a bit of selection as they’re pretty big compared to Livermore. I always find something in this mall, so definitely recommend!

Vacaville Premium Outlets has become a second-class outlet center in recent years. Many premium name-brand outlet stores have moved out after the San Francisco Premium Outlets opened many years ago. The phase one section of the outlet center still has some good stores, but the phase two section is pretty empty, or it has only a few stores I want to shop. The old design with the parking lot in the middle of the outlet mall is also outdated. Most of the shoppers drive their cars directly to the stores they want and skip everything in between! So the less famous stores will have a hard time Survive!

I went to Bath and Body Works. Plenty of products in stock and the staff were amazing. Kory (I can't remember the rest of her name 😭) and Bella were very knowledgeable on the products and offers available 🔥 excellent customer service deserves recognition ✨

Nice premium outlet! All kinds of brands. got huge parking lot not too crowded.... Lots of public restroom, vending machines, Unfortunately NO restaurant at all .. you will get to see only food truck! And some vendors..However must say had an great tacos truck there, must try from them.

The inclusion of winery-only selections in the tasting menu was a highlight, offering a unique opportunity to savor wines not available in retail. The host was friendly and knowledgeable, enhancing our understanding of the wines. The ambiance provided a relaxing and laid-back environment, allowing us to truly unwind.

While the main winery north of Napa is closed for renovation and additions we went to the tasting room at Arch and Tower in downtown Napa. Our host was very knowledgeable and gave us great regional information. I was honestly pleasantly surprised at the wine quality since Mondavi is a big “grocery store brand” wine. The options in the tasting were either Mondavi Estate wines or exclusive to their wine club / tasting rooms.

Must-go winery and never goes wrong! Their souvenir shop was wonderfully renovated during pandemic. I bought their wine opener(great quality with wooden box) as a gift for multiple times🎁

Gone are the days you can just pull up at a winery or tasting house without a reservation. We wanted to check out the grounds as we were early for another reserved tasting nearby. It’s beautiful and spacious. Though we were not able to go inside-the outside grounds were equally scenic and gorgeous

Very impressed, one of the godfathers in Napa, the wine tasting with Vince giving us info re the wine and background on the vineyard was amazing. The setting was awesome, a beautiful day.

One of the most famous winery in Napa valley. Tasting was excellent. Wines were awesome and it was more pleasant thanks to our wine expert Vincent. Our family spent a wonderful time here! We bought 3 bottles of wines we've tasted and got 15% off. Thanks again for making a precious memory for our family.

Wine boutique had very little variety. Only two reds and two whites available for sale. They sell it at Costco for the same price. And visitors are only allowed in the shop. You must book a tasting to have permission to walk the winery. Not even customers can. Waste of time.

A different vibe than some of the other wineries in the area— in a good way. Frog’s leap feels down to earth, and friendly. We brought a dog and enjoyed the selection of wonderful wines while exploring the gardens and taking in the sights of the beautiful grapes. I had a great time, just note there’s no outside food allowed, which I believe is a county regulation, so make sure to snack up before you go!

Frog’s Leap is a beautiful winery—the gardens are stunning, and there are a variety of charming seating areas that make for a relaxing visit. We arrived a bit late and appreciated that they still accommodated us, though it meant the tasting felt a bit rushed. The wines were good, but considering the price, we expected a more engaging experience. The tasting focused mostly on flavor notes; we would’ve enjoyed more background, stories, or insights about the winery and its history. Still, a lovely setting and a nice stop in Napa overall.

My step son recommended Frog's Leap, and I'm glad we listened! The wines are spectacular, and the property is absolutely gorgeous. The gardens invite one to release the stress of life and relax. I really needed this! The staff is excellent and a special thanks to Jaz for all his knowledge and guidance!

We had an amazing experience here! We were treated so well, had a picturesque tasting on the porch with stunning views, and enjoyed delicious wines in a friendly, fun and unpretentious setting. Highly recommend this organic, family owned winery - a must visit!!

If you're looking for a relaxing day sipping wine on a beautiful property, you need to visit Frog’s Leap. We spent the most peaceful afternoon tasting their wines, strolling through the gardens, and just soaking in the serene atmosphere. A perfect escape!

highly recommend if you want a casual wine tasting experience with gorgeous gardens to roam. the photos don’t do it justice! the staff were so kind and the overall experience was amazing!

Great morning tasting at the Garden Bar at Frog’s Leap! Check-in was a breeze and the grounds are breathtaking - so many flowers, herbs and vegetables. We brought our toddler who greatly enjoyed the orchard, chickens and sheep dog (Sadie) patrolling the property. Wines were delicious as well, especially their red blend. Shoutout to Nathalie and McCoy. A perfect morning!

We had the most amazing experience at Mumm Napa! Maddie was absolutely wonderful – she was incredibly knowledgeable about the sparkling wines and shared so much fascinating history with us. The tasting on the Oak Terrace was spectacular, with breathtaking views that made the experience even more memorable. The sparkling flight was delicious, with exclusive selections that felt truly special. Maddie’s hospitality and attention to detail made our anniversary celebration unforgettable. Highly recommend Mumm for anyone looking for a beautiful setting, world-class sparkling, and outstanding service.

Don't threaten me with a good time and bubbles! The answer is Yassssss. It was a Sunday afternoon and I was heading out if the area. Stop the car it's a bubble emergency! We didn't have reservations but we were able to get in. Snaps big snap the the ambience as a whole and the tasting outside patios! From the screens to block the sun, the views for days, the picture potentials, the educational, and warmth (from bubbles and vibes). Our server-Brando! Shout out by name sir. I appreciated the education and delicious pours! Definitely bought a bottle to go. Wanted a sweatshirt but having children and cream is a no honey. Highly recommend!

Lovely views from any seat. Great service and selection. We liked every tasting. Knowledgeable servers who nailed every description. Central location in Napa Valley. Multiple options of venues for tastings.

We had a nice visit to Mumm Napa - this was not our first visit, nor was it our best. This winery attracts a lot of “girl groups” so it has really changed from the experiences in the past. It has the feel of a bachelorette party (it’s all very pink and party vibe) now instead of a nice, relaxing spot. I’m sure that is super fun for those partaking in the groups, but it’s not the vibe we had known in previous visits. I love the sparkling wine at Mumm, it is always delicious - however my husband was disappointed to learn that they no longer serve the delicious still Pinot Noir we had enjoyed in previous visits. Still beautiful views and delicious sparkling wine!

I had a great time at Mumm. I celebrated my 30th birthday, we received some free goodies. Our server I believe was Austin and he was awesome! I loved it so much I became a Club Member. I can’t wait to go back in November to p/u our shipment.

It was awesome!!! Conner was totally amazing! Ask for him when you come!! He was very personable, friendly and I definitely recommend him as a server! We even became members!!! Looking forward to our next visit!

Chad was absolutely amazing! It speaks to the company when you have an employee of 19 years! 🍷✅ when you visit Mumm Napa ask for Chad and do the Mystery tasting!!! So fun and a great pour!!!!

We have been members at Bogle for a couple of years and this is by far the best winery to have a membership at. They value their members and make you feel right at home every time you come to visit. The winery is kid-friendly making it the perfect way to spend an afternoon. They have amazing events all year long and really curate each one to perfection. They also have a large suite of incredible wines that keep us coming back time and time again! Definitely worth a trip out to Clarksburg if you’re not from the area!

This winery's selection of reds and whites were very tasteful for various meals. Am very pleased, comfortable to bring both varieties for hosts, hostesses, and different occasions. I know the party will enjoy the selection(s).

The staff are AMAZING!!!💫 I can not stress this enough. The wine is also great and the price point was something that caught me by surprise. We had a picnic and enjoyed a tasting. Definitely telling everyone about Bogle and the magical experience I had.

A very nice hideaway winery. The wine tasting was the best. Scenery and atmosphere was amazing! We really enjoyed our time here.

We have visited quite a few wineries and can say this is THE most beautiful, relaxing and enjoyable setting we have discovered! I'm sure you are aware of the popular Bogle wines found in stores. We discovered their Reserve Chardonnay, only sold in their winery and found it to be the best Chard we have ever enjoyed! Ended up buying a case. Will return for their wine tastings Thursday through Sunday. The outdoor atmosphere is relaxing, comfortable and elegant. With cushioned seats as well as Adirondack chairs shaded under three giant Sequoia trees surrounded by the vines, it's a perfect venue for couples, singles and even large groups. The drive here is also a treat winding along the Sacramento Delta rivers. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and visit this wonderful winery! Super friendly staff, a great shop for treats and mementos as well.

We had the most amazing experience at Bogle family vineyards when we visited the Sacramento area in July all the way from Sweden. We were recommended this great place by our friends in Sacramento and are so happy we went, We tried 10 different wines, and they were all very tastefull. This was during the heathwave so we forfeit the beautiful gardens and had the tasting in the air conditioned upstairs which was very nice. Our wine guide Hyathy was such a loveley, friendly and knowable person making sure we had the best of times. We spent the better part of two hours trying the wine and ended up getting quite a few of their tastefull and affordable bottles to take home. We cant wait to come back another year and we really recommend this experience if you like to visit a friendly and affordable vinery!

I have been a member of Bogle for longer than I can remember... from the Friday concerts to the new wines such as the 20 Acres, the new Phantom's Juggernauts etc they have always been a VERY consistent producer of good wines. The Chardonnay's to me are their best wines... they have expanded to maybe 4 now? All are unique and very good in their own right. The new tasting experience is wonderful and rival what we get in the Napa, Sonoma area. Bogle remains our local go to winery! This past weekend we had a tasting of the Element [AL] wines. Working for a division of CalEPA I recognize and support Bogles efforts towards sustainability.

Had a great experience at V. Sattui Winery! Our host was very knowledgeable and shared amazing stories that really enhanced the visit. The wines were excellent—some of the best we’ve tasted. The location is gorgeous, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy. Plus, their fine food market is impressive with a fantastic selection. Highly recommend stopping by!

Review for V. Sattui Winery - St. Helena, CA We had a wonderful experience wine tasting at V. Sattui Winery. The reservation process was simple and straightforward, and check-in at the front was quick and pleasant. We were seated right away at the Mercato Bar, where Jacob, our Bar Sommelier, made the experience exceptional. He was knowledgeable, energetic, and genuinely welcoming, which set a great tone for our visit. The wines we sampled were delicious, and the cheeseboard was excellent -- especially the tiny yellow pickle peppers, which became my favorite item. The on-site market offers a great selection of snacks, and all of their wines are available for purchase to take home. This winery also has a beautiful outdoor area, making it perfect for a date or a picnic. The grounds are stunning, and the staff were consistently kind and attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would happily return.

The V. Sattui Winery in St. Helena is definitely representative of the more traditional Italian vineyard. I went with my family in early July 2025, and immediately felt as if I had been whisked away to Tuscany. Despite the stunning architecture, there was quite a bit of construction 🚧 happening - and much of the vineyard seemed to be cordoned off. We decided to visit the vineyard the day of, and this was no problem because we didn’t need a reservation. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and open to patrons that purchase wine. It has a relaxed, picnic-friendly vibe which equally made it inviting. Their wines for sale were plentiful and well-curated, with standout Chardonnays and a few delightful surprises among the rosé and dessert wines. The on-site deli is a great bonus - and perfect for grabbing small bites, sandwiches or charcuterie to enjoy on the lawn. Overall the staff were super friendly despite being very busy, and the wines we tried were delicious!

Wine tasting made easy and affordable! Also a lot of fun when Bart and Eduardo team up to serve the customers. It’s difficult to find a place that offers such a wide range of grapes and varieties. The tasting customers sit around a large ring shaped bar. The premium tasting consists of five wines. There’s no rush and tasters have plenty of time to clear their pallet prior to moving to the next wine. We had a blast and suggest you give it a go.

We visited Sattui Winery in Napa and enjoyed the beautiful grounds and relaxed picnic area. The tasting experience was nice, with a good variety of wines to choose from. The deli had a great selection of cheeses and snacks to pair with the wine. However, it can get quite crowded, especially on weekends, and parking may be a bit tricky. Overall, it’s a charming place to spend an afternoon, especially if you enjoy casual outdoor wine tasting.

For the ones that believe in divine intervention, this review is for you. My husband and I decided to celebrate our 10 year anniversary at this winery. We had a tasting booked for 12 o’clock. The grounds were gorgeous and beautiful. It was a perfect day for wine tasting. Once we entered the tasting room, we were going to the bar to the To the right of the room, but something in my spirit told me to go all the way to the back bar, and that is when I was able to be served by Justin. His customer service was superb. For once in my life, I did not feel like I was a black woman in Napa standing out, but I just felt like I was an individual being taken care of the right way. Justin just made you feel important. I do not know what y’all pay Justin but he definitely deserves a raise. and this was my first time coming to the winery just an FYI!

V. Sattui Marketplace offers an overwhelming and truly impressive shopping experience that stands apart from the typical winery visit. The marketplace provides a gigantic, meticulously curated selection of specialty foods. The cheese and charcuterie offering alone is massive, showcasing exceptional quality across various styles and origins. Beyond the meats and cheeses, you can find a breadth of local and imported olive oils and other gourmet items. If you are looking to build the perfect picnic basket with high intensity flavors and complex, ready-to-eat pairings, the V. Sattui Marketplace is the definitive destination in Napa Valley.

It's a nice well kept trail adjacent to UC Davis. There are redwood trees planted there many years ago and plants with their name on a placard in front so you know what you're looking at. The "lake" they're building right now hasn't been completed so the creek is dirty and muddy but promises to be clear and full of life soon. It's adjacent to free parking on the weekends which is a plus and within walking distance to a Farmer's Market and restaurants.

The atmosphere is refreshing and peaceful, with beautiful flowers blooming all around. It’s a perfect place to observe and learn about nature

The walking trail for the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden starts at the parking lot of the Davis Commons Shopping Center. It’s a great place to talk a walk before or after eating at one of the great restaurants at the Davis Commons Shopping Center. There is a paved trail that leads you along Putah Creek that runs through the UC Davis campus. You should be able to walk to the UC Davis Arboretum within a mile or so. It’s a peaceful place to walk, ride your bike or walk your dog. You will see plenty of wildlife and various plants/trees along your walk. This trip we probably only walked about 0.5 miles and turned back around as my mother-in-law was getting tired. If you are in Davis, you should stop by and take a stroll to enjoy nature.

A lovely trail to recharge on a summer evening after a workday. An easy walk along the creek, passing through gardens, pines, redwoods, and oaks - perfect for finding shade on hot summer days.

A beautiful little path winds through lots of wonderful spices and different plants. Holding hands with my loved one is the best thing.

Spent so long trying to figure out the parking. I didn't have time to even go in the arboretum like I planned. I called ahead of time downloaded the amp parking app. Before I went there was told if I had trouble going to headquarters I went in there was towed to park in any sea lot did that but that was for all day not hourly as I needed. So then I called the parking department they told me the amp doesn't do hourly right. By then I was hungry, got something to eat and tried to renew or pay for parking and couldn't do it. So I left without even going in the arboretum. The parking sucks. It's not user friendly. Very confusing and so frustrating. There's got to be a better way for visitors to go to the arboretum

Great place to walk, to ride or just to spending time in nature.

Had the opportunity to drive for their Football team while they were in Montgomery,Al.What a great group. From their students to their coaching staff. Very professional,polite, and overall great group to work with . This University should be very proud of the professionalism that they all brought to Alabama. Hope to work with them again .

Awesome University of California campus at Davis, the most Northern UC campus in the state. Home to the Aggies (started as an agricultural college and as opposed to UC Berkeley who are the townies) the campus is spread out and beautifully planned. The nearby college town of Davis is full of interesting student life and culture.

The girl who answered the phone did an amazing job. Her suggestion to reach out to the company in question was the correct move and I had missed that. Kudos to her. She's a good one.

The classes we had were fun, educational and very informative. Hopefully I’ll take more as the program I’m interested in offers quite a lot. Highly recommend!

I take 2 of my dogs to specialty care at the UCD Vet Med Teaching Hospital. Their care has been excellent. Today I used the outpatient pharmacy services. I needed the meds right away and picked them up within 48hrs. Sometimes the traffic is horrendous, but that's not the school's fault. They are providing services I cannot get anywhere else locally.

Lots of cheating, plagiarism, they don't honor Junior College Grades as part of GPA, overpriced - degree does nothing to open doors. Would return degree for refund and attend better institution. I don't recommend coming here. Student body / population is very rude and classist. At the end of the day this is a mediocre state college - not Ivy League. Go to ANOTHER School!

Provided water for the Davis Turkey Trot! It was such a wonderful day filled with runs for all ages and even furry pets. So glad that we got to share clean oollee water to all the participants! Thank you UC Davis !

Phenomenal museum with works by world-class artists that are household names and also a treasure trove of pieces by regional and emerging creators. The price of admission is well worth its value and I spent a solid two hours here. I would have stayed longer save for my parking meter running out! I loved the modern art on view. The only downsides were that the layout is a little confusing with how the new and old buildings connect, and that the cafe closes a little early. Other than that, I definitely plan to visit Crocker Art Museum again!

During a heatwave that extended into the weekend, I was trying to think of a family activity/outing that would keep us cool. My 13 year old (who has a fondness for art & history) suggested that we visit the Crocker Art Museum. My wife and I hadn’t been in years (I believe the last time I visited was when I was in grade school), so we loved this idea and were excited! Unfortunately, this was a last minute decision, so we would only have 1.5 hours to enjoy before they closed. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a friendly employee at the desk who issued our tickets. We started at the French art exhibits, which if I’m being honest, I found to be boring and a bit depressing. However, this feeling quickly dissipated when we entered the modern art sections. One of my favorite pieces of artwork was “Empanadas Dulces/Sweet Turnovers;” something about seeing a multigenerational family coming together to accomplish one goal is beautiful to me. Overall, we enjoyed the Crocker Art Museum and are planning a return visit for the near future (this time around we’ll plan for a longer visit)!

We had a great time viewing all the wonderful art selections. The Museum had an event the day we went. It was pretty interesting. We went on Sunday. It's free or you can give a donation to enter.

The Crocker Art Museum is way bigger than we expected—there’s seriously so much to see. We didn’t even have enough time to finish the third floor! Every room is filled with beautiful artwork, from classic pieces to more modern installations. It’s the kind of place you could get lost in for hours. Definitely planning to come back soon to see the rest. Perfect spot for a date too—relaxing, inspiring, and easy to enjoy together.

Went Saturday, October 4th. Large museum, alot of different exhibit themes. 3 stories of old and modern art. Alot of native American memorabilia. Alot of polynesian ancient figurines. Alot of modern art, something pleasing for everyone. It takes a couple of hours to walkthrough all the exhibits. A great choice to spend a day, it's within walking distance to old town Sacramento.

I had a nice time with my best friend at the art museum and I enjoyed the museum also. And I took quite alot of pictures of the art. Beautiful art.. 😃🥰

Amazing collection from time periods and variety in types of art. Carefully curated art pieces nicely positioned and placed. Beautiful display setting, lighting, spacing all done perfectly. One of the top best art museums.

Free entrance.open only weekdays. There is a gift shop but it's kind of hidden. No restaurant. MANY bathrooms on every floor. About 1/2 the rooms aren't accessible but they have the others set up as they were for their their period theme. If you like this kind of stuff definitely worth visiting. Top floor has portrates of the previous governors of the state.

A must-visit when you’re in Sacramento! The California State Capitol Museum is beautifully preserved and full of history. The architecture is stunning, from the marble hallways to the grand dome, every corner tells a story. The exhibits are well curated, offering a fascinating look into California’s political and cultural past.

Its free and a lot of information if you choose a tour guide. It was lovely to hear the music as we walked in the Capitol; they are having musical selections which varies during the week. It was very nice visit. The capitol is beautiful and regal. Im glad they decided to keep it just as it was. The attendee (forgot her name: curly hair and beautiful spirit) at the gift shop was so welcoming and amazing 👏 🤩. We had a nice time

This is a really interesting space and could be worth a stop if you’re in town — it’s free to enter (brief security checkpoint accessible on 2 sides), and takes just a few minutes to cruise the palatial halls and get some breathtaking neoclassical architecture! The millwork is spectacular, with carved bears on the bannisters and rich filigree on nearly every surface. If you appreciate nothing else, the craftsmanship is next level. It’s almost perpetually under construction, so be aware that not all areas are always accessible and the space is actively being used for government functions — so be respectful around the more private sections while cruising around inside. The ground floor plays host to a few historical rooms preserved for your viewing pleasure, and a small exhibit or two depending on construction. The elevators are full of gorgeous art-deco metalwork and operate relatively quickly. You can also climb the elegant stairs on one side of the main rotunda. There’s a cute gift shop and restaurant in the basement as well. This is quite a structure. If you like epic structures you’ll probably enjoy a quick stop in as I mentioned before. Grounds outside are good for photo ops too.

Interesting free self guided walk through of historic portions of the Capitol building. Current exhibits focus on historical photography in and of California. Some impressive architecture and craftsmanship to be enjoyed.

One of the most beautiful capitals I've visited! There is a lot of construction going on currently but you can find paid street parking. They give tours. There's a robotic coffee shop nearby that's really neat too!

Being at the capitol felt meaningful as someone from Maine to visit the Capitol of another state. They have scheduled tours during the week, usually every hour from ten in the morning until four in the afternoon. You can sign up at the information desk right inside the rotunda. Downstairs there is a small museum with exhibits and a short film about the building's history. They also have a few restored offices that show how things looked in the past. It was good. I learned a lot. Outside is a large park area, about forty acres, with guided walks available on certain days. There are trees from all over the world, war memorials, and plaques that give a sense of the state's past. It felt quiet and informative, not flashy, but steady and respectful. More than anything, it made the idea of state government feel a little more real.

We visited the railway museum right when it opened and were warmly greeted by the staff as they opened the doors. The ticket prices are quite affordable, and the museum itself is clean and well-maintained. The staff and volunteers were friendly and knowledgeable — they took time to explain the history and details of the trains on display. The museum features a wide variety of train exhibits, and there’s even a dedicated floor for kids to play with model trains and watch them move around, which was a fun highlight. Parking is available either at metered street spots or in a nearby garage, which costs around $20 per day. Overall, it was an enjoyable and educational experience for both adults and kids.

When seeing a museum of mechanical engineering i absolutely believe the people that restored and continue to maintain these locomotives and cars are beyond expertise. The staff is absolutely wonderful and knowledgeable. Perfectly located in old sacramento for a whole day of fun.

Had a fantastic time at the California State Railroad Museum! As two adults, we weren’t sure what to expect, but we ended up having so much fun. The scavenger hunt was a great touch, and the exhibits are very interactive with full-size trains you can explore. The museum is well-maintained, with a lot to see and learn. Staff members are friendly and clearly passionate about what they do. A must-visit if you’re into museums or looking for a unique, engaging experience in Sacramento.

Probably one of the top five railroad museums I’ve been to in the country. Very well done, plane to read, and space for the little ones to run around too. Don’t miss the model trains and the kid play area on the second floor!

Went here on a Friday around 4pm not to crowed. Lots of history, great info, but you really need at least 2 hours not 1 hour we were speed walking, but still saw and read at least 85%. No senior or disabilities discount. May just have to go back.

Top notch experience for 1-90 years old. Real historic train carriages and locomotives on display with knowledgeable staff that will engage in interesting conversation. And that $12 per person fee is a steal which is less than half the price of nearly every museum nowadays! Second floor section is dedicated to model trains which brings smile to children. Highly recommended

Be prepared to have your mind blown! This place was a must to see with or without kids. First the cost of it was inexpensive to other museums. Child 6-17 was $6, 17+ was $12 free under 5. Interactive museums are truly the best way to learn and this was a well thought out museum. We also enjoyed that they had many old timers who knew all about the history and trains walking around as volunteers who clearly loved and enjoyed talking to kids and adults alike. The history museum is next door and was such a let down in comparison so maybe skip that one or see it first, before you go into the train museum.

Great tour, Emily knew her history and brewing process. What a huge place! Tastings were lovely.

Having been on beer tours all over the US, Sierra Nevada's remains one of the best. Informative, casual, and really lets you get into the mix of things more than others.

I meet with customers here a few times a year. The food is great! The staff always seem so happy and helpful. But you know, beer is involved, so I guess I would be happy all the time too! 😉

Best place for drink and lunch .

We had a blast doing the Still the One tour. The group was relatively smaller and led by a knowledgeable tour guide. We received a few beers on the tour, got an inside look at the rest of the brewery, and learned a lot! Our favorite part was drinking straight out of the tap with fresh beer only brewed about 3 days ago. We’ve done the local tour here but this is definitely worth the $25 walking away with a crowler, goodie bag, and a ride on the Time Machine!

I had a delicious lunch at their restaurant then took the brewery tour. We had Emily guide us through the brewery which started with a beer sample and she was very knowledgeable. The 45 min tour ends with beer also. I highly recommend this tour and lunch. 5 stars

Great tour! Fun to learn their history and rub and smell some actual hops! Beautiful, older, kettles from Germany there too. Great surprise tasting at the end! Restaurant on the grounds too.

Lovely place for recreation. Theres lots of birds here so its good for birdwatching or casual walking, not as good for mountain biking

Such a beautiful park with tons of shaded areas and space for the family. During the summer they have lifeguards. There is a snack bar, restrooms for you to rinse off, a nice creek next to the pool and a toddler area (water is very low for kiddos to enjoy 🥰). Plenty of picnic tables and you have a park next to it plus plenty of hiking and paved trails

It's a beautiful day today and as the sun is beginning it's slow descent the bright and warm colors of summer, the sound of the creek rushing by me...it just feels like home. I would not want to live anywhere else on Earth but Chico, right her and right now...

A bit busy with kids, but such a nice area to picnic or lay in the grass and read a good book. Really happy I decided to venture out there today & I will definitely be heading back tomorrow for round 2!

It's wonderful to smell and stand by the Redwoods another gift from God 🙏

Great park. I think they filmed one of the Robin Hood movies here.

Nice natural swim hole for the kids. Has bathrooms garbage cans and concessions.
