The zoo is huge and was a lot bigger than I expected. It took about 3.5 to 4 hours to completely walk around the zoo. I love the gondola ride up to another section of zoo! I managed to takes these pictures of the exhibition. I'm sad how I didn't get to visit the Savanna section because it was temporarily closed. If you have EBT or Medi-cal, the tickets ONLY cost $1 to $5/per person with FREE parking!

If you grew up in the east bay and you came here on school field trips this is not the same museum. It has been beautifully reimagined and updated. The price of admission is well worth it. The museum seems never ending. You can spend the whole day here learning about California history, art, culture and natural history. We will be getting a membership so we can enjoy it all year. Also have lunch at the cafe. We got the burger and chicken sandwich and this is probably the best museum food we’ve had. Most places charge a ton for mediocre food. Not the OMCA!

The docents really make the experience. Their knowledge is impressive as is their dedication to sharing the legacy of the Hornet. We opted for the additional engine room tour and our docent's knowledge impressed my engineer Dad who specializes in power generation. Touring the Hornet makes you appreciate the luxuries of freedom afforded by the sacrifices of many brave young Americans who had hopes and dreams just like us.
