Lookout CoveīADM’s outdoor boat exhibit, a longtime favorite of museum guests, has been replaced by “Faith,” a larger, more accessible, decommissioned commercial fishing vessel from Bodega Bay with multiple interior and exterior levels to explore. Kids can gain an entirely new perspective on the exhibit by climbing up to the “attic” perch. How Things Workįrom household appliances to a circuit board and a Mini Cooper, this exhibit reveals the inner workings of familiar objects to spark children’s curiosity and encourage abstract thinking. The bay and water room features a play structure offering different tactile experiences, while the forest and habitat room offers plenty of interactive areas to explore, and a black-and-white wall mural by Steven Valenziano features animals and plants that are native to Marin County.
Landscape-inspired rooms invite toddlers to crawl, feel and hop through themed environments, all the while gaining an age-appropriate introduction to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) learning concepts. This year, the museum has completed a major $20 million renovation of its campus, with five new research-backed exhibits designed by renowned architecture firm Olson Kundig and Design Principal Alan Maskin. Here’s a look at these new spaces. But the real draw here are the interactive, learning-oriented exhibits that keep kids, from tots to 10-year-olds, engaged, excited and exploring - earning much gratitude from weary parents and caregivers. The museum’s spectacular Fort Baker setting in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, in the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge, is a definite perk. Beloved by local families for more than three decades, the Bay Area Discovery Museum (BADM) in Sausalito welcomes more than 350,000 guests a year.
