plastic fantastic

Paint and pixels are not the only materials employed by Bay Area artists. This is the last weekend for you and your grandkids to catch the Holiday LEGO show in Palo Alto at the Museum of American Heritage. Clever imaginations have taken these little blocks and built them Bay Area landmarks, miniature cities, castles, sculptures, even human […]

bear hunting

Bay seniors interested in introducing their grandkids to the splendors of the UC Berkeley campus might want to meet on the steps of Sproul Hall this Saturday, October 17 at 10 am for 90 minutes of Bear Hunt Bingo. Cards with pictures of the various bear sculptures around UC will handed out and the kids […]

your genius grandchildren

Bay seniors concerned that their primary grade grandchildren may be falling behind the tech moguls of tomorrow might want to schedule a visit to Curiodyssey at Coyote Point in San Mateo. Their current exhibit “Backyard Science” is set up in the gardens and includes a giant ear with ambient sound tubes, a “superhuman” vision device […]

Bay seniors may occasionally regret that Walt opted not to open his first Disneyland on Angel Island (there were apparently serious rumors for a few months) but if you are looking for nearby massively fun theme park adventures with your grandkids, consider Scandia in Rohnert Park. Traffic on 101 is hellacious so plan to leave […]

Bay Area seniors who want to thrill their grandkids with something more joyous than visiting a mall Santa might want to consider reserving seats on the Train of Lights which glitters its way through Niles Canyon. Every year the historic trains (part of the first Transcontinental Railway built in the 1860’s) are festooned with hundreds […]

down and dirty

Bay seniors have great resources for entertaining/educating their digital grandkids. This Saturday July 7, for example, East Bay Parks is inviting everyone to Crab Cove in Alameda to learn more about mud than just recipes for mud pies. You’ll explore the bathhouse aquarium, then tromp through the surrounding mudflats. It’s from 10:30 to 11 am […]

docs of the bay

Bay seniors with animal loving grandkids will hear a chorus of “awwws” when they visit the Marine Mammal Center at Sausalito’s Fort Cronkhite. This weekend the Center, a kind of hospital and rehab for sea creatures, is holding one of their monthly Marine Science Sundays with a special focus on sea lions. Patients generally include […]
