The Bay Area Discovery Museum is free every first Wednesday of the month….which is tomorrow!

We just went this past weekend and had a blast. Located in Fort Baker in Sausalito, the museum is a series of converted historic army buildings with indoor and outdoor exhibits. Bean truly could have spent an hour just playing all of the outdoor xylophones (they were truly melodic too, so that a toddler banging away at them produced quite nice music.) We had to convince her to keep going so that she could spend another hour at the marooned boat, complete with play kitchen in the hull.

And you must be thinking, are you standing there for an hour while she plays on a boat? We were, with no complaints given the absolutely stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge and sailboats on the bay. We stood around chatting with friends and enjoying the view while the kids entirely occupied themselves. A perfect Bay Area adventure.
