    oakland zoo is nice and I am sure he will enjoy it. closer to fremont there is ardenwood farm, they have a petting zoo there which is very much enjoyed by kids. my 2 year old loved it when we took him there on memorial day weekend.

    Ardenwood Historic Farm | East Bay Regional Park District

    in san jose there is happy hollow zoo.

    we also like lake elizabeth in fremont - it's quite close to my house infact. they have a lot of birds there, and the play structures are very very nice too.

    at 17 months he is a bit young for the museums, but california academy of sciences in sfo and the monterey bay acquarium are nice to visit.

    What about story time at near by libraries. You get meet moms like you. It is free and short. You cna pick up some books too . Kid scan develop reading habits.
