Chabot Space & Science Center is a nonprofit science museum, observatory, and educational center located in the Oakland Hills within Redwood Regional Park. Founded as an observatory in 1883, the center inspires curiosity about astronomy, space exploration, Earth science, and STEM through interactive exhibits, immersive planetarium shows, hands-on learning experiences, and historic research telescopes.
A true East Bay gem. Pro tip field trips leave at 1pm so after you have the place to yourself. Only con we went on a Friday and the theater had no shows today. Friday and Saturday night 730-1030 they have free telescope đź” viewing but is weather dependent . We saw Jupiter in great detail. Free parking, planetarium shows were included in admission, and great AC made this a Spring Break treat.

The mission of the Pardee Historic Home Museum Inc. is to encourage learning, understanding, and appreciation of Oakland’s early history, the contributions of three generations of the Pardee family to the City of Oakland and the State of California, and to preserve the Museum’s history, home, contents, and gardens for the community’s education and enjoyment.
Parse Family Museum was like a time capsule with incredible detailing and collections inside. Our work group was able to secure a private garden afternoon tea with 3 courses of goodies and all the english breakfast tea you could ask for. The women there were lovely and patient with us and even gave us each a thank you gift to take home. Following the tea and treats we took the tour which lasted a little over an hour sharing the homes history across 3 floors of unique treasures and facts. There is plenty parking both free and paid on both ends of the street just not directly out front. The ease of access as you come across the overpass made it all the better to get too! Definitely a place I will return to with family.
