For Memorial Day weekend we went to the Bay Area to visit family and friends. Our first stop was in San Jose to re-visit Happy Hollow. Since we bought the Discovery Museum annual pass, we were able to get in free with the reciprocal entry program. That plus our first visit to the Discovery Museum pretty much paid for the pass!
When we arrived at around noon on Friday, there were a lot of field trip kids so it was a bit crowded. However, once they went home, the lines were much shorter and we were able to do everything we wanted in less than three hours.
The bathroom in the new parking lot was cute and colorful, so I decided to snap a pic.
Our first stop, just like last time, was the carousel at the entrance.
It is nice how the kids can ride together without an adult on a lot of the rides.
We happily accompanied the kids on the mini-roller coaster that n was not big enough for last time:
Here is a picture of the Danny the Dragon Ride, which is apparently some sort of childhood icon for many who grew up going to Happy Hollow. However, we were surprised by how many people in the Bay Area have not heard about this place.
