LeRoy King Carousel - This historic carousel came from Playland-at-the Beach, an early 20th century amusement park at Ocean Beach. The horses on the carousel have been beautifully restored, down to the horse hair tails on the horses. Fun for the little ones.

Children's Creativity Museum - This art and technology center has hands-on fun for kids and parents. In the Animation Studio create animated movies, or produce your own music, stories, art creations, inventions.

Children's Garden - In the Children's Garden, relax in the playground with a climbing structure, slippery slides and tubular slides, a sandbox (with water for your sand creations), a pint-sized hedge maze, and water to play in. Table and chairs in the shade.

In the summer are free children's programs - rhythm and music, circus and juggling, Chinese acrobatics. Check the calendar.

Ice Skating Center and Bowling Center - Older kids will want to try ice skating (year round), or go bowling. The 12 lane Bowling Center has kid-size bowling balls, and bowling classes.

Martin Luther King Jr. Waterfall - On a warm day, this waterfall is a wonderful place to play. Dabble little fingers in the water, trace the water flow from the upper pool, down a series of "cataracts" into the lower pool. Go behind the waterfall several times (you might get a little wet). Next to the waterfall is the Esplanade , a wide grassy area to run around. Bring a picnic and sit out in the sun like lizards.
