Berkeley is serviced by
the
Metropolitan Oakland International Airport which is 4 miles south of Oakland's
city center. For some destinations, the San Francisco International
Airport, across the Bay, is preferred. The San Francisco airport is actually
in San Bruno (San Mateo County — about 12 miles south of downtown San
Francisco). For

We promised we would concentrate on the attractions most folks don't hear
about when visiting California. Here is one that is almost a well kept
secret: the
Lawrence Hall of Science.
If you have kids any where between pre-school and high school age you just
have to make this a required visit.
Part of the UC
Berkeley campus, the mission of this fabulous place is to develop improved
programs for teaching science and mathematics. This place is full of
hands-on stuff that kids just love (and adults, too, if they would admit
it) - and they learn a lot while playing with the various gadgets.

Believe
it or not, this place has been around for almost 40 years but is as modern
today as if it had just opened its doors.
