Lake Elizabeth is a fun place for both kids and adults. The lake is in the middle of the park. There are also tennis courts, several playgrounds, picnic tables and BBQs, and a trail that goes around the lake. I’ve seen people with fishing poles out, but I don’t know if they ever caught anything.

This fish store has very nice displays. There are several large salt-water tanks as well as fresh water fish. The prices here are a bit on the expensive side, so I primarily come to admire the fish. My favorite part of the store is the shallow pool with the rays; these guys are about the size of a pancake and glide through the water. Very cool.

The Chicago-style deep-dish pizza here is amazing! A perfect combination of cheese, crust, sauce and toppings. Very filling, but good to the last bite. Be prepared for a very long wait – you can occupy yourself by admiring the art on the walls (all featuring Zachary’s) or stare at your neighbors while they enjoy a yummy slice of Zachary’s pizza.

There’s lots to do at Ardenwood. You can pet the farm animals. You can see people dressed in costumes at the market, where you can also by food and goods, and where you can see craftsmen ply their trade. You can see the Civil War re-enactment, complete with horses and a cannon.

Walk into this little cafe and the first thing you notice is the smell of fresh-brewed coffee. They offer a wide variety of coffees, teas and hot chocolates. This place has a great atmosphere, a very welcoming and relaxed environment in which to hang out. There are board games and newspapers to pass the time.

Hiking up Mission Peak is always fun, whether you get to the top or not. The trail is easy to follow, used frequently by families, joggers and dog lovers. It’s also a great place to drive up at night and stargaze. Be careful, though, the road is one-way in some parts and there are deer and other wildlife.

The library is a great place to hang out. There are lots of tables and comfy chairs. The fiction, foreign language and children's sections are downstairs. Upstairs is the non-fiction, the reference, the magazines and periodicals. You can use the Internet there for free (there is a time limit if people are waiting in line).

A simple building made up of whitewashed walls and timber, the Mission is a Fremont landmark. Enter thru the gift shop, where you can buy postcards of Fremont. The next part of the building is a museum display, including Native American and early Spanish artifacts recovered from nearby areas. Services are still held in the chapel, which has a peaked ceiling. There is also a cemetery where you can walk around and look at tombstones.
