There are a dozen miles of trails - from paved level paths to steep dirt trails. All of the paved paths are suitable for road cycling; many of the dirt paths are available for mountain biking. The bird life here is amazing - salt water birds, freshwater foul and tree dwellers. And a lot of seasonal foul.

I love sending my husband and children to IFly. The instructors are amazing teaching you how to maximize the jump experience. The price is inexpensive when you purchase your jump pass through Costco. The facility also has a monthly jump pass you can purchase along with personal instruction. I am getting this for my husband to use before work.

This is supposed to be the newest and greatest theatre in the area BUT.....many movies will sell out or only have separate seats available before the showing. Also beware that their IMAX with reserved seating is not luxury loungers even though it is priced as it is. They are cushioned chairs and that is about it. They do have luxury loungers in some of their theatres at this location so just pay careful attention when purchasing your tickets. Have been not impressed more than impressed with this theatre! Very expensive. It does have a bar with alcohol and their snack bar is self serve, which is kind of weird and always messy.

Massive space upstairs perfect for meetings and conferences as they have many large spaces. The food was fantastic and the building modern. Looked briefly downstairs on the museum and it looked to be very interesting and informative if you’re technoor technology inclined.
5. Central Park

Central Park (Lake Elizabeth) is a huge recreational park easily accessible with multiple parking areas. Our primary visits are for softball with multiple lighted fields and most of the time a snack bar but there are large areas for a dog park, small rental boats, picnic tables, basketball, tennis, playgrounds and simply walking the trails. For all events the primary thing to watch for is what the geese leave on the ground for you. Even if you are not visiting for an organized event it is a great place for a family outing or simply a walk to get away from the stress of the day.

7. Union Landing Shopping Center
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By jpanda168 - SF Bay Area
An outdoor shopping mall that may or may not fulfill every shopping need. No big major department stores or high end designer stores.
After catching a movie there, you have a wide selection for places to eat, from fast food to sit-down restaurants.
The way that the mall is laid out, a few buildings in one section, would give the first time visitor the impression that you would need to exit from one section, drive along Dyer, and then enter another section. Instead, you could traverse through the parking lot of one section to enter the parking lot of the other.
Because it's off of the highway 880 exit for Whipple Road, traffic to get into and leave from Union Landing can be busy, depending on the day and time of the week. From personal experience, it is busier during commute and lunch time.

Good spot for Picnicking and fishing. Mild to warm weather, but you can find something agreeable. Most families love it because it is near one or two bait shops and lots of fast foods and grocery stores. Horses are also nearby.

I took classes at Silliman Aquatic Center. So did two of my grandchildren. I had fun. And they had fun learning to swim. We liked the food center, too.
10. Mission Peak Regional Preserve

Reviewed By hikingsierra - Medford, Oregon
I hiked up the typical route and came down the Peak Road trail. The latter is steeper and longer. My Suunto sports watch said 5.54 miles forr the whole loop.
The main trail is heavily used, and I encountered several parties blaring music from a backpack speaker. Dogs are allowed, but you really shouldn't try to take a small or unconditioned dog up there-I saw several.
The Peak trail down was more scenic and far less crowded. At the bottom I saw turkeys and a coyote hunting.
