Nearby places
A year-round Sunday market downtown where you can shop produce and local vendors while listening to live music.
Downtown Walnut Creek's playground: a train play structure, roller slide, climbing 'rocks', four baby swings, and a sand-and-water play area, steps from the library, Creek Walk, and Iron Horse Trail. The natural pairing with a downtown errands-and-lunch day.
A public library with a kids' nook full of children's books, a play area, and a small cafe.
The toddler-and-preschool playground of Walnut Creek: small, modest structures close together so one parent can see everything, shaded benches under three big oaks, and paved loops where little kids lap on trikes and scooters.
Walnut Creek's family breakfast house with a dedicated just-for-kids menu (silver-dollar pancakes, chicken strips) and staff who don't blink at highchairs - the weekend pancake institution.
The huge model railroad has thousands of feet of track and an hourly night scene show. Go on a public open house weekend.
