Baldie's Café

Welcome to Camron-Stanford House, Oakland's last 19th century mansion on the shores of Lake Merritt. See the private residence and lifestyle of five prominent families who were instrumental in the development of Oakland and the statehood of California. The home has been authentically recreated through descriptions found in personal letters, newspaper articles, historical photographs, and architectural research.

Kids go wild at the Oakland Zoo! Especially when nose to nose with a giraffe, paw to paw with a tiger, singing with the birds, and hanging with the monkeys. Enjoy a fun day exploring the attractions at a wild kingdom that sprawls across more than one hundred wild acres of natural habitat, home to over 440 native and exotic animals.

Travel back in time at the Oakland Museum of California. The museum shares the extraordinary tales of the Golden State and its people through engaging collections, exhibits and attractions that explore the state's connection to its history, art and nature. Discover local artesian wares at the museum store and participate in art-related monthly community events.

The Fox Theater is a show stopper. The historic and iconic show palace elicits absolute awe from ticket holders from the moment they step inside the grand venue. The stage lights up with top entertainment acts, from Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons to Broadway musical hits like Wicked.
