👍👍 My girls and I had a great time. Damien was awesome and he provides life jackets. He also takes photos of your time on the water and airdrops them to you after the event. So you don’t have to worry about taking out your phone and dropping it in the ocean while cycling. We did have a bit of a problem...

Vintage Aircraft Co
Tourist attraction
👍👍 I did the 40 minute airplane ride and it was amazing! My pilot Tom was super friendly and knowledgeable. Well worth the money flying in a WW2 plane with some small modifications. Can't wait to do it again and maybe even adding the aerobatic experience.

👍 Awesome view of San Fran and Pacific. Good trails start from here. Visitor center is small and it was closed on the weekend I went. Get a map from the visitor center or a ranger as the trails and signs can be confusing here. Parking fee is $8 cash; self-service money-in-envelope drop. Trails are gre...

A little crowded if the place gets packed, they need to find a bigger space soon. Wonderful artwork for sale from old pinball table artwork t...
