Now known as CuriOdyssey at Coyote Point, this museum was recently recognized as the "Best Museum on the Peninsula" by readers of Bay Area Parent Magazine. That said, this is a must-see family attraction that features interactive science exhibits, hands-on public programs, and live animal habitat exhibits. The animal enclosures allow visitors an up close and personal view of native, non-releasable California wildlife. Your kids will love the opportunity to interact with each exhibit, so stop by the CuriOdyssey Museum while you're in town.

A lavishly decked out bistro, this restaurant offers visitors an experience of fine dining without pretension. Its stainless steel bar with cherry wood tables are perfect for a night out, but if you prefer a more intimate setting, the dining room is a dimly lit, warm environment as well.
