stuff to do in Eureka,Ca

The Zoo in Eureka is "free" (donations accepted) and worth a few hours of your time especially if you have little kids. They have a cute petting zoo with brushes to allow kids to groom the animals as well as a cute interactive barn to show kids where things come from. By all means take a stroll along the waterfront and through oldtown. In the summer there are free concerts that attract all walks of life. A short drive over to Samoa is where beach access is and you can view downdown Eureka from the other side of the Bay.
