Questions parents ask about Redwood City

What can you do with a toddler in Redwood City on a rainy day?

Downtown's library branch is a few steps from the square, so a rainy morning can be storytime plus a dry lunch without moving the car. The indoor list for Redwood City shows what's scheduled.

Are these activities free?

Square events and library programs are free by design; the marina and trails cost nothing beyond parking. Anything ticketed links out to the organizer so you can check the price before you go.
