Everyone goes to Lake Merritt to walk around the lake. People will be playing music, drumming, on the water people are kayaking and rowing, there's a great restaurant overlooking the water called the Lake Chalet. Around the Lake Merritt area, there are tons of lovely shops, yoga studios, places to grab a bite and other interesting places like the Oakland Spice Shop (my favorite)!

My god-daughter has loved this place for ages (she's 8!). 10 acre theme park - Walt Disney based his theme park on this one! Children's Fairyland has delighted children and their parents since 1950 with whimsical storybook sets, gentle rides, friendly animals, and live entertainment. "Most amazing place to take the kids in California" -- Buzzfeed.
