videos; art studios; and a digital workshop, plus lots more to keep them busy all day
long. Ages 5 to 18 (for further details see

5. RANDALL MUSEUM
Perched above the city, in Corona Heights Park, this small, welcoming complex
is primarily a petting zoo, with farm animals, raccoons, reptiles, and birds. But it
also offers hands-on experience with woodworking, pottery, painting, theater, pho-
tography, model railroads, storytelling, gardening, and more. The aim is to teach
children respect for nature and the environment.

6. ALCATRAZ
“The Rock” is always a hit with older children, particularly boys, who relate to the
grim, quasi-military aspects of the place. The wildness of the island's natural beauty,
as well as the ferry ride out and back, will also delight. Smaller kids might find it a bit
frightening (for further details see
Alcatraz
