Families journey through time at Lake Merritt evolution walk

Visitors recently had the opportunity to take a leisurely stroll through time during an event at Oakland’s Lake Merritt. Dubbed the “Billion Year Walk,” the experience provided families with a simulated journey spanning the history of evolution.

Kids and their parents were invited to walk the 3.1 perimeter of the lake and stop at the 42 information stations marking advancement in earth’s development at an event hosted by the Bay Area Skeptics.
