The word Eureka means “I have found it”. When you
arrive in Eureka California you will understand why this is
the appropriate name for this California
North Coast
town. Walk through the old seaport town for a glimpse of history, or kayak down
one of California’s
rivers. You are in redwood country here so take a drive and explore northern California’s great
Redwoods.
Eureka
California has a fabulous Discovery
Museum that kids will truly enjoy on your Eureka California
vacation. There are many interactive things here for the kids to explore, such
as how they can make electricity or captain a ship. This is a fun learning
experience that you can make part of your Eureka
California vacation for a very
small admission fee. The kids really enjoy the displays and activities at the
museum, gaining answers to many every day questions.
The
Samoa
Cookhouse is an absolute must on your Eureka
California vacation agenda. For a
real home cooked meal, and all you can eat of it, this place is fantastic. In
1893 this was a camp for logging. Now it is a great restaurant. It is very
casual and anything you eat, you can buy to take home with you, such as a loaf
of homemade bread. Enjoy your meal and then take your time looking around the
gift shop. Some pretty special items to choose from. The menu changes daily, so
make it a favorite on your Eureka
California vacation. Don’t forget
to take a walk on the beach. You can hear it right outside as you enjoy your
meal.
The golfer in the family will enjoy a stop at the Eureka
Golf Course. This is a great eighteen-hole course, with regulation length
greens. It is a 70 par course with a pretty nice driving range. The fees are
pretty good, not designed to break the bank.
