We live in San Jose, and we prefer taking our kids to Sacramento. It's clean, and there are plenty of fun kid activities. They love the train museum and Old Town Sacramento!

You will miss out on Fort Point (very, very cool, particularly when the re-enactors are in), the Golden Gate, the Exploratorium, Twin Peaks, and the Zoo (better than the Oakland Zoo). Mission Dolores is also worth a trip from SJ.
