“My wife and I recently walked about the Niles Canyon Railway museum while waiting for one of the Niles Concerts in the Square (the area in front of the museum) to begin, and several years ago we took a ride on one of the restored trains. It's a little gem of a railroad museum in one of the old historic railroad towns that dates to the intercontinental railroad (1869). The museum resides in an old historic train station, not the original, but turn of the 20th century. The train ride and the museum are a great family outing. Kids, big and small, will especially love the train ride.”

“Small museum with lots of historical things. Staff is very friendly and explains everything, takes you back in time. A must visit for kids and toddlers. They have a telegraph and a dial up phone. Historical photos of the Depot is hanging on the walls.”

“Interesting stop on our visit to Niles. Our docent was very knowledgeable and it was a nice tour. I'd like to go back and enjoy a movie! It's tiny and the gift shop is bigger than the museum itself. Worth a look!”

“The train of lights is a historical, magic event to enjoy with your family. Years ago I tried to participate but I couldn't get tickets on time, I didn't know how. This was my third year able to buy tickets. How I do it? This year in October 13th, the tickets sale started at 10am. I work on Saturdays but at 10 am I told my customers to wait few minutes to make my reservation and buy the tickets (there are thousand of people in front of the computer buying too) Why the high demand for this event? There are so many tourists coming, people from many Countries. As I said, it's a magical ride. The workers are so friendly and caring specially with disabled people (I saw it) they are patient but they are old too, they need helpers, volunteers. I'm afraid this event would stop one day if we don't support them. Children enjoy it so much! I wish I knew about people looking for tickets, since I had two extra ones. If someone needs help getting tickets just ask. It will be a big mistake to stop trying just because it's difficult to get tickets. Let's keep our Christmas tradition alive!”

“Great family fun, lots of history to be found here. You can sit in the exact same buses you've watched on the big screen. Contact them for when they're going to have the annual open house, lost of fun. Phone and email best way to communicate, website is much outdated.”

“This review is actually for Ardenwood Historic Farm, which is part of the wonderful East Bay Regional Park District. We went to see monarch butterflies but humans’ collective industrial-technological “Midas touch” on this glorious globe of ours is decimating their numbers and there were none to be observed. Still, this site is a true gem for its tranquility, modest-yet-charming collection of hoofed and assorted small animals as well as fowl of various forms, meandering paths, scattered picnic areas, and lots of child-oriented scheduled activities. The peacocks are fearless. Part of the special educational opportunity provided by a space like Ardenwood is that the learning is as much about how to simply enjoy *being* in an idyllic setting as it is about more concrete informational learning. Just being at Ardenwood for its immersive pleasures could very well be its primary draw, while the other “stuff to do” is the trick to get you there. Either way, it’s definitely worth a visit.”

“Small anthropology museum, with student built exhibits which have spanned multiple anthropological fields. These exhibits are tied closely to the regional intricacies and ethnic groups represented across the campus, and are a work of passion for the CSUEB students; with a great interest in respecting the many communities who contribute invaluable experience, skills, knowledge, and history to the museum.”

“Friendly people works/ volunteers here. They welcome you with a big smile. Place is very clean. On second Thursdays of the month, they have Tot time activities for only $5. Also have a breakfast place inside called Cannery Cafe. They serve delicious sandwiches and breakfast items. Also have some great employees and customer dervice as well. A nice little gem found in Hayward.”

“Gorgeous historic home and grounds open for tours. The house was built by Alexander Dunsmuir for his bride in 1899. The house was decorated beautifully for the holiday season and also had lots of holiday photo opportunities outside for children, as well as two bouncy houses. There was a high tea event available, tickets available online and had sold out by our arrival. Friendly and helpful staff were plentiful. Parking was $15. Disability Information: Disabled parking available on request, with drop off and shuttle available to the house. The lovely walk through the grounds is on a paved but slightly bumpy narrow road that gently ascends to the house, which sits on a small rise. The road is perhaps 1/8th mile long. There is a ramp to the back door, but tours enter through the front and people are carefully routed in one direction only. Some stair climbing is necessary to see the house; I did not see any elevator or disabled access to the second floor. The restrooms are nearby in another building, but require either ascending a fairly long stair up the hill or using the slightly steep ramp walkway tucked around the back. Printed information throughout the house offered no Braille. The movement of foot traffic through the house moved at a fairly good pace, but if one wishes to move at a more leisurely pace most of the time there is room to allow others to pass. A lovely place to visit and we all very much enjoyed it!”

“I went here for a field trip and it was amazing! The bathrooms are clean, fun activities, the planetarium was amazing and super cool. I didn't any of the food because my school brought us lunch. We saw 5 different fire colors, and they made fire out of a powder! Totally recommend coming here”

“Sweeping views of Oakland, UC-Berkeley and SF. Would be great at sunset, too”
Address: 1 Centennial Dr, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA
“This place is awesome. To start, you're high on a hill and the view of the bay is spectacular, especially at sunset where it's really mind blowing. The various exhibits on display are usually really cool and lots of times they have interactive displays setup so everyone is very engaged including the kids. Great place to go. Definitely a must for watching a sunset on a clear night!”

“I was here for a community event, which, and this is a great thing, overlapped with at least two other community events. First, getting to the museum is incredibly easy. There's a BART station a block away, and a large, multi-level parking garage within. For a Friday night event, I paid $7 cash to park from 5:30 - 8:30pm. That is amazingly affordable. Once I arrived and parked, I walked toward my main event in a large auditorium. However, on the way, there was an Off the Grid food truck smorgasbord, a small community-based craft and gift sales, and live music. Since I was early, I got to enjoy those fun things of which I was completely unaware. The auditorium's event space was very nice. Quality sound system, comfortable seating, and good lighting. The event went smoothly with prompt support from museum staff as needed. After the event ended, the security staff let us know 10 minutes were left before the museum closed for the night -- I wandered by a couple families going into a rain forest exhibit right at the announcement, and I checked it out briefly. What a great place for kids and community! Would definitely go back for more events, especially if they have music and food trucks.”
