Magic Mountain Playground at Coyote Point

Part zoo, part science museum: native California animals (otters, bobcats, eagles) plus hands-on science exhibits, right on the bay at Coyote Point.

Bayfront Hilton with an indoor pool (rare and valuable in foggy SFO-land) and direct access to the Bay Trail for stroller walks with plane views.

Burlingame's oldest park with a playground rebuilt in 2019: slides, nets, climbing walls, swings and outdoor musical instruments on clean synthetic turf. Tennis, dog park and picnic areas too.

A playground beside the community center and the ball and soccer fields, so it's handy while a sibling is at practice.

Pizza place with a proper kids' menu (cheese or pepperoni pizza, or 'chicken in a blanket' with ranch and carrots, drink included) in a casual setting.

All-suite waterfront hotel with an indoor pool and free full breakfast, and a separate living room for after the kids' bedtime.
