Has anyone noticed the rate hike for charging in the Wheeler Plaza? I could have sworn it was $0.25 per kWh but now I am seeing it at $0.51? Does anyone know when this hike happened?

Question Basketball for 2.5 year old

2 Upvotes

Does anyone have any experience putting their toddler in the “Rebound Basketball - Parent and Me” activity at Burton Park? Thinking about signing up my 2 and a half year old for the next summer session starting in late July, but was a little wary since the classes are from 12:05-12:30pm which is usually when we eat lunch right before his afternoon nap. The other soccer and swim classes he’s joined have had a “free” session to try things out before committing to the paid classes, but I couldn’t see anything on the Parks and Rec website about free trial for the basketball classes. Thank you!

Hiller Museum

11 Upvotes

Thinking of bringing a couple of 13yo boys to Hiller on a Sunday to experience some of the interactive demos and such. The boys are pretty advanced when it comes to robotics, science, engineering. Still good for them or are they too old? (And while Im at it, any recos for a family-friendly pancake house or some such between San Carlos and Millbrae)?

UPDATE: appreciate y’alls brunch recos, even the ones serving $20 french toast 😳 … but still trying to suss out whether my 13yo boys will be too old for this. It seems like the premium activities would suit more, but it’s recommended we get there at 10a to signup for those tix, meanwhile they land at 9.30a then might need to eat…
