(So is the upkeep which is so interesting to watch if you happen to be there when routine maintenance is needed) Several feet above the forest floor you get a perspective unlike anything else Ive taken siblings, cousins, friends and their kids, and honestly anyone who wants to come with me I love the zoo, I love the skywalk.

The Redwood Sky walk is located in the back left side of the zoo, it is a self guided tour. The skywalk slowly increases over 100 ft above the beautiful forest floor below and is about a 1/4 mile walk. I am afraid of heights, but felt safe walking along the trail. Most of the walk is over the park nextdoor to the zoo, as you are looking down from high above and you can see tiny people & dogs walking the trails below it was so cool. We could also see the bears in the zoo from high up in the trees, we had a better view of them than could see them below on the zoo trail. Be sure to look up at the majestic redwood trees along the trail, and when on the platforms you can touch the redwoods, and learn alittle about them with the information boards. It was an amazing experience, being so high up in the Redwood trees. It was Breathtaking and beautiful. I felt safe walking the trail as they had guardrails that go along the trail and was pretty good width across for people to walk by. People who are nervous of the wooden suspension bridges that move when others walking on them can walk about half way through trail before reaching these bridges and walk back the way they came. We will always remember this trip to Eureka, and cannot wait to bring our granddaughter here next time. Enjoy your adventure!

Nice visit at the garden [Eureka CA]…read more Just outside the zoo's northern perimeter is the Sequoia Park Garden on W Street. Street parking is available just outside of the entrance. The forecast was partly cloudy in the mid 50's. The garden isn't very big but I enjoyed the variety of flowers that were in bloom which is generally between May and September. Our visit was during the Memorial Day weekend. Took some time taking lots of photos of the colorful blooms including a collection of gorgeous dahlias... wish they had labels for all the flowers for us who are botanically illiterate. Flowers are beautiful subjects for photography that's why I love botanical gardens. The garden also featured a wishing well and a gazebo for small gatherings and events and, also, a small sundial, unfortunately, there was no sun at that time to tell the time of day ツ Sadly, we weren't able to go across to the park. Hubby already had too much walking for the day ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Review #3771

Old town Eureka has so much to see and do... It's a fantastic area to just wander…read more All kinds of different shops from antique shops, to clothing, shops, to shops where you can buy items from Humboldt County. The chain "restoration hardware" started right here in old town. They also have both new and used book shops. One of them is the bookLegger, which has both. A fun shop to stop in is Seymour's novelty shop. From Whoopie cushions, to pink flamingos, to everything in between. There is also a "California visitors center", where you can go in and get local tourist information. There are some great places to eat, from restaurants to otherwise. My two favorites are "los bagels" on 2nd St., and "living the dream ice cream". at the foot of F Street... In season, you can take the Humboldt Bay Harbor tour on the Madaket, a historic boat which used to be a ferry before the days of the Samoa Bridge. During the summer. They have a big open air market on Friday night, and the old town Fourth of July festival is another open air market. That is also lots of fun to visit. The crown jewel of old town has to be the Carson mansion.... A beautiful old building. Unfortunately, it's not open to the public, as it's a private club, but if you know a member, or you can get get in as part of an event, it's really nice on the inside. There are some homeless people in old town, but they pretty much stay to themselves, the best thing to do is just use common sense. You will have a great time here. On the first Saturday of every month, is the popular "arts alive festival." From 6 to 9 PM, they have live music, late night, gallery openings, and businesses celebrating the local vibrant arts scene. It's very popular, and another great event.

Main attractions in Old Town are: Harbor walk, be safe as the homeless can be aggressive here. Many good dining options, including Lost Coast Brewery Cafe, Brick & Fire Bistro, Five Eleven, Phatsy Kline's Parlor and Lounge, etc. Eureka Visitor Center - Another one of my highlights of the trip, but then I happen to crash the grand open party! Dick Taylor Craft Chocolates. Carson Mansion - Looks good from the outside. Close to the public. Main attractions in Eureka are: Micro Breweries - So many to choose from, the most popular one is probably Lost Coast. Of course we went to both their locations and a few more other breweries. The Redwood Curtain Brewery also stood out for us on this visit. They also have Cider companies, but that is not my preference/not my drink of choice. Sequoia Park - I enjoyed this. A nice easy walk/hike. Sequoia Park Garden - Really small, but still very nice and beautiful. The caregiver was also really friendly. Sequoia Park Zoo - If I had young kids, I would have enjoyed it more. My daughter enjoyed it. Atmosphere - Historic, victorian homes, art, etc. Kind of reminds me of Napa or Carmel... Small city, but I am told the largest for their county. I believe the largest coastal city is between SF and Portland, OR. The city is approximately 14.5 sq miles with 26.5k population. Service - Good. Mostly self service walking around Old Town. Price - Depends on what you buy, eat, or drink. Owner Comments - Congrats on Eureka's success since 1850. 1856 Incorporated. 1874 - Reincorporated.

Historic Military Fort [Eureka CA]…read more There's a lot to take in historically from Fort Humboldt. Although this site seems peaceful now, at one time it was the hub of a conflict between settlers and Native Americans. We walked through the grassy park area stopping to read interpretive signs along the way educating ourselves. The history of Fort Humboldt State Historic Park dates back to 1853. First, one of the most famous military personalities to serve here was Captain Ulysses S. Grant, the future U.S. President and commander of all Union forces during the Civil War. He was stationed here as Captain of Company F, 4th Infantry, in 1853-1854. His story is shared in historic signage and markers. No wait... FIRST! Fort Humboldt State Historic Park is haunted! The GhostTube app captured some anomalies when we used it. I posted a couple of videos. During its glory, the fort had 14 buildings: Officer's Quarters, barracks, a hospital, a blacksmith shop, a horse stable, and even a bakery. Wooden markers can be seen at the park indicating where they once stood. The reconstructed Surgeon's Quarters and original Fort Hospital remain standing till today and I wonder if they open the doors to visitors during park hours. One part of the park are collection of exhibits not related to the military history: railroad equipment and machinery used in the early days of 150 years of local logging history including a Donkey engine.

As you exit, there is a small amount a flat parking spaces at the trail head, park and walk in - usually easy access as not many people stop at this cool sanctuary.
