It is a quite popular park since there is a little farm with cow barn, attracting many little kids. The view at Wildcat peak is great, three main bridges can been seen clearly. The Bay Bridge, Golden Gate Bridge, Richmond Bridge. The parking lot has a restroom and can be quickly filled up.

Nice place to bring your family here. The number of animals have declined over the years. There seem to be less each time I come back. You can bring lettuce or celery to feed the animals. No other vegetable is allowed. If you are not interested in animals then go to the visitor center, which is more educational. There are also trails nearby that you can hike.

A very nice area with many hiking trails, scenic viewpoints, and a lot of fun activities for family and kids. There is a farm where kids can feed farm animals. There is also a fun steam train ride around the forest with very nice views. Along the roads and hiking trails there are multiple viewpoints with a panoramic view of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge.

A great place to see animals born type setting. They have geese and ducks and chickens of all kinds as well as a big giant pig and cows and goats etc. Lots of fun for people who love animals.

We finally got to take the grandson to a small petting zoo for free. He had so much feeding the livestock animals which included cows, sheep, goats, bunnies, chickens, and ducks, and also saw 2 huge pigs It's a great place to bring the kiddos to learn about animals and run around in the grassy field If you come bring lots of Lettuce and celery only to feed the animals
