Finding outings in the Bay Area is always a joy, especially when you’re planning adventures with kids. Recently, during a special grandparents event at The Meher Schools, many grandparents shared how much they love spending time with their grandkids, and a few mentioned that they were on the lookout for new places to explore +together. Inspired by their enthusiasm, we’ve put together a list of some favorite spots to take kids—gathered from our wonderful grandparents, as well as parents and staff. Let us know if we missed any of your favorite Bay Area family activities!
