Great for all ages. This is a mix of a massive playground and a hands-on / look at this cool thing museum. So much to do with beautiful golden gate bridge views. We spent a lot of time at: - art studio & brick area (Legos & cardboard making stuff with glue guns) - pretend play at the stationary train/train station; and at the full size boat! - big play/climbing structure with interactive science-y parts to it - huge sand pit - tot area with soft play - “how things work” with inside look at plumbing, pianos, appliances & a huge kitchen area for pretend play / learning about the kitchen Tips: - stroller friendly - cafe is great with many healthy options. Plenty of tables, but no high chairs. - bring layers for the wind, a towel & extra clothes / rain boots if the bubble bash is happening - if bringing a grandparent or somebody who cannot walk around much, they can either pay & sit inside on the many benches, or sit on the benches outside the museum, by the water. It’s gorgeous.

Firstly, the views from this museum are stunning! You can easily take a family photo with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background. Parking is free. Secondly, I love how this museum is set up - there are large outdoor play areas and indoor science & art exhibits. We took my 2 month old in a stroller. There are plenty of stroller parking areas before you enter the indoor exhibits. My 4 year old toddler was more into the outdoor play areas like the giant sandbox, the bubble foam area, the playground with the fishing boat, and the foam blocks area. Because the path forms a loop, I was able to walk baby in the stroller so he would fall asleep. Other family-friendly amenities: All restrooms are family restrooms; they are large enough to bring your stroller in, and they all have changing tables. Designated quiet nursing & feeding spaces The Bean Sprouts Cafe is onsite and has healthy kid-friendly options. Tips: make sure to bring a sweater or jacket. It gets windy!
