Q: I am interested in knowing about any live petting zoos for children in East or North Bay. A: The Oakland Zoo has a petting zoo area in the Children's Zoo.
Tilden Regional Park in the Berkeley hills has a "Little Farm" that
has farm animals that kids can pet. Tilden also has a merry-go-round, steam
train rides, a swimming lake, pony rides, playgrounds, picnic areas, an
environmental museum, a botanic garden, and miles of hiking trails. Also,
nearby is the Lawrence Hall of Science, with its hands-on science exhibits.
In Walnut Creek, there's the Lindsay Wildlife Museum. It has a "Pet
Library," which offers participants the opportunity to check out a live
rabbit, guinea pig, hamster or rat for one week. See: http://www.wildlife-museum.org/ For more ideas about places to go in the Bay Area, see: http://www.locallinks.com/places_to_go_in_bay_area.htm

In Reply to: Maze, posted on October 08, 1999
Q: I am trying to locate the Maze somewhere around Vaccaville or Fairfield.
A: You are probably thinking of the "Wooz," a large outdoor maze that
was constructed in Vacaville. It got a lot of publicity a few years ago,
but I haven't heard much about it lately. I found a listing for it:
WOOZ PARK INFO
Assuming it's still there, it should be east of the Nut Tree, visible
from I-80 to the south.
