Went to visit son and did a ghost tour with museum and very interesting and fun with variety of places to visit with presentations that were varied from dry descriptions of the paranormal in that area, to 1st person theatrical presentations and created a nice variety and saw much of the downtown area. The museum is free, but this tour had a cost, but reasonable.

Been to numerous county fairs and none of them beat the Alameda County Fair. It has exhibit halls, shopping, 4-H, art work, technology, numerous stages for musicians, horse racing, and lots of food. It's the only attraction I would call ... heaven!
