Featured Preschooler Destinations


Hagemann’s Ranch Trout Farm – Bodega
Fishing is a great experience for preschoolers but sometimes the disappointment of not catching one can ruin the whole trip. If you want to pretty much guarantee that your preschooler will take home a fish or two, take a quick drive to Hagemann’s Ranch Trout Farm near the town of Bodega. You don’t even need to bring your own equipment, you can rent a pole and buy bait at the pond. And best of all, they clean the fish for you so you’re ready to fry them up as soon as you get home.

Jelly Belly Factory Tour – Fairfield
Not to far from Santa Rosa, in Fairfield to be exact, is a fun and magical place where Jelly Belly candies are made. Offering tours daily, it is a great preschooler destination and best of all, you get free Jelly Bellies! Your preschooler will be delighted as they walk through the building learning all there is to know about these wonderful candies.

New Improved Kidspot – Sebastopol
Kidspot Imagination Center in Sebastopol is a favorite play place for preschoolers and their parents. If you haven’t visited Kidspot in a while, you should go check it out. In May of 2007, it changed ownership and there have been some much needed changes happening. New play structures, new prices, and the addition of Gail’s Play Date all have contributed to making Kidspot an even more enjoyable experience for your preschooler.
