Park With a View--Randall Museum

Ok, technically the actual museum isn't a park but it's located inside a park. The Randall Museum is a cute little hands-on childrens museum with all kinds of exhibits and animals for the kids to touch and get up close to. But the best part was the caboose they had set up downstairs! Oh my, Timo was in heaven. And if you think it couldn't get any better...they had buttons inside that made all the different train noises (steam, whistle, etc.) We sat there for what seemed like FOREVER while Timo hit all the buttons over and over and over again. Gotta love him for his passion of trains!

After we pried Timo away from the trains we headed back upstairs to the earthquake/lego area. They had these platforms that you could build lego buildings on and then press a button that shook the platform...simulating to an earthquake. Needless to say we spent another good chunk of time at this exhibit.


The animal area was really cute but the animals were somewhat elusive. Timo loved the bee area though...

We decided to take a stroll outside on the nature path and discovered the amazing views from the park grounds. You could see the Bay Bridge on one side and Twin Peeks on the other.

We saw a lot of nature on the trail and the kids loved being able to just run free outside...oh and Timo, who is really into climbing these days, trying to scale the big rock...
