website for Oakland Zoo:

Of course there's also the Oakland Zoo which is a perfect size for a small child with tot
sized "amusement park" rides as well. One "different" suggestion is the Emeryville Marina
(go west on Powell cross highway). Gorgeous views, sail boats, picnic areas and green lawn
to run around on. No play structures though.

re: amusement park for 4-year-old:
There were a lot of rides my 2 year old and 4 year old could go on at the
Oakland Zoo. I think it's a great place for the under 6 set.

If you join the Oakland Zoo Club for $45 per year, part of the membership
includes free entrance and parking for the year for a family. Its fun and
the kids love it!

Joining either the Oakland Zoo or the SF Zoo gets you into the other,
by the way. The $45 includes admission for 2 adults and kids,
the adults do not have to be married, related, etc. Another mother
and I share a Zoo membership and it works out quite well.
