More than a vacation guide, this fun and educational book is loaded with hundreds of ideas for year-round learning in the San Francisco Bay Area. Rather than focusing on a single visit, this book helps parents introduce their children to new things and support their growing interests through seasonal and special exhibits, events, performances, and classes. Activities and outings are organized by interest area, and a directory of classes is provided to help get children involved in everything from star gazing, ballet, and whale watching to chasing butterflies, picking fruit, and riding trains.
