Hayward Shoreline Interpretive Center — Attraction in Hayward

Grateful for the staff here and the HARD programs for kids and toddlers... Very good value and experience for a small cost.

The programs range from science experiments, exploring, and even crafts to take home.

The toddler ramble is run by Anne, and she is amazing. Best of all is that almost all of her activities are recreate-able at home with common goodies or from a supplier she is willing to share.

The staff is also very knowledgeable about the marsh and shore and the toddler ramble concludes with a nice walk to a local edible plant called "pickle weed." Always a hit...

We celebrated our child's birthday here. The location was just perfect, the party room large, staff very helpful and activities amazingly fun and interesting for kids. Everyone loved it! Caitlin and Zoey were very friendly and super fun. They work so well with kids that the event was a breeze for us, the hosts. I'd definitely recommend this place especially for birthdays for kids under 3- 10. Great fun even otherwise to visit and a lovely trail to walk during good weather. Note: bring light jacket at least and comfortable shoes if you plan to have outdoor...

Parking is roadside.
