The same trip we went to Point Reyes, we also went to Lawrence Hall of Science at University of California at Berkeley. It was an amazing place!
UC Berkeley sits up in the hills overlooking the bay area. Here you can see the Golden Gate in the hazy background.
There were so many "hands on" science exhibits to see and do. There was also a seasonal exhibit there during the time we were there about the Circus. It was all about the circus, and there were things to do and pretend you were part of the circus.
Marissa and Meghan practiced their trapeze skills doing flips and bouncing up and down.
Jacob wasn't tall enough to do the trapeze, so he did the tightrope walking instead.
Here is a vide of Jacob doing it:
After building the tall towers, Jacob loved watching them come crashing down.
Hannah treated us all to a puppet show.
Outside there were water activities, earthquake exhibits, and all kinds of things to do.
The kids loved playing on the life size whale, (above) and the greatly magnified DNA Double Helix (below).
