# Calistoga with kids, without a tasting room

6 things to do with kids in Calistoga that are not a winery. A geyser that erupts every 15 to 30 minutes with a petting farm beside it, a petrified forest on two short trails, a state park with redwoods and a seasonal pool, a museum with a scavenger hunt for kids, and two town parks, one built to be reachable by stroller and wheelchair.
