The 2-star Super 8 by Wyndham, which has family rooms, is a 4-minute drive from the Habitot Children’s Museum and is 3.2 miles away from the Lawrence Hall of Science.
• If you like the idea of spending some time in the beauty of nature, think about staying near the UC Botanical Garden at Berkeley. The 3-star Bancroft Hotel is located just a 5-minute drive away from this botanical garden that stretches across 34 acres and is home to many rare species of plants. The UC Botanical Garden at Berkeley was established in 1890 and is situated on the university campus.
• For travelers staying in Berkeley but traveling further afield, you could stay in one of the hotels near the Downtown Berkeley BART Station. This Bay Area Rapid Transportation system links Berkeley to the San Francisco Bay Area and from here, you can visit various neighboring counties.
