The New Marine World Theme Park in Vallejo, at the northeast end of San Francisco Bay, is a family favorite. In this one-of-a-kind wild animal and sealife park you can come closer to animals from land, sea and air. Featured shows include: killer whales, sea lions, lions and tigers, elephants, chimpanzees, exotic birds and water skiers. Plus, there are great exhibits on sharks, butterflies and aquaria galore.

Include a stop at historic and quaint Benicia near Vallejo, a Civil War era armory that is now a favorite of antique hunters and boutique store shoppers. Or, explore nautical downtown Vallejo and its nearby retired Mare Island naval base, the oldest on the West Coast.
