Planning notes
💡
Treat outdoor play and an indoor EcoCenter visit as separate options. Check the center’s open days if indoor learning is essential to the outing.
The nature area includes build-with-nature zones, a rope bridge, and a tree cave.
School visits, camps, and guided tours use their own schedules and booking arrangements.
The dated tour schedule on the official page ends in May 2026; contact the center for new tour dates.
Do not assume a continuous Bay Trail connection to India Basin during waterfront construction.
