Suggestions for Museum near Alameda

James C. • July 29, 2013Really good museum and the men are veterans that served. They really know what they are talking about. Need to keep History like this ship alive for future generations.

Duane M. • March 31, 2018Not just a static display. You can take a Bay cruise at this presidential museum.

Maggie S. • January 29, 2017What an amazing collection! I spent several hours at the museum and still didn't see everything. There are lots of interactive exhibits that would be great for kids.

Kate R. • May 14, 2013Gallery sitters love to be sat on.

chris • March 13, 20105 rooms of pinball! I went for a party and my company is having an outing here next month. Great place for a date, or just killing a few hours. Support them!

Angel M. • July 6, 2019A good number of my favorite arcade games including all 80s music playing. Please note that there is a $6.00 for one hour fee or $12.00 for all day. Unlimited playing!! I definitely will return.

Aaron P. • February 24, 2015First time visitor. Planetarium and laser show were very cool. Had sandwiches for lunch and they were surprisingly delicious despite their $10 price tag. On that note, the place was filthy...

Sara C. • January 1, 2016Very quiet. Rich in history & hospitality. There is also a seed lending library!

Anton S. • May 3, 2015Get the tea service.

Jon S. • February 24, 2014They have a cute gift shop.

Mortiche W. • June 30, 2017Great for kids/ adults alike, esp for those with SPD. Clay sculpting, tempera paint, 2-3 tables w/ preset crafts you can try and copy, plus a room with magnet tiles and books. $5 per person/3hrs.

Marion R. • February 5, 2018Really great set up with lots of awesome exhibits! The cafe is adorable and the coffee is really well priced for an art museum cafe!

eric b. • June 13, 2020Great contemporary museum with lots of surprises in the collection. Interestingly a large selection of 20th century German art that you don’t always see in other museums of it’s kind.

Farshid K. • June 12, 2013Great space, lots of interesting nature and science experiments, widgets, maps, etc; nice view of the bay

Sylvia • July 2, 2012A wonderful place to sit and relax after a visit in the gallery.

Libby L. • June 18, 2017Small but mighty. Lots of stuff to interest both older and younger kids. Great view of the bay

Jonathan F. • May 17, 2014Look. You gotta check this space out. It's got photography, architecture, video games, 3d printers, laser cutters. This might be ground zero for making cool stuff in SF.

Kendal C. • August 14, 2018A smaller, cool museum in SOMA. Exhibits change often so there's always something new to look forward to every couple months. They offer discounted admission for students.

Richard Alexander C. • July 12, 2019Make a reservation for their (free!) guided tour. It's wonderful.
