summer; )
One of the coolest things in town, fascinating to both kids and adults, is the Army Corps of
Engineers' solar-powered visitor center. Housed in one of the old (and cold!) Marinship
warehouses, it's a 1.5-acre hydraulic model of San Francisco Bay and the delta region.
Self-guided tours take you over and around it as the water flows.
Bay Area Discovery Museum MUSEUM

$11, free 1st Wed each month; 9am-5pm Tue-Sun; )
Just under the north tower of the Golden Gate Bridge, at East Fort Baker, this excellent
hands-on activity museum is specifically designed for children. Permanent (multilingual)
exhibits include a wave workshop, a small underwater tunnel and a large outdoor play area
with a shipwreck to romp around. A small cafe has healthy nibbles.
Plaza ViƱa Del Mar PARK
( MAP GOOGLE MAP )
Near the ferry terminal, the plaza has a fountain flanked by 14ft-tall elephant statues from
the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco.
Activities
Sausalito is great for bicycling , whether for a leisurely ride around town, a trip across the
Golden Gate Bridge or a longer-haul journey. From the ferry terminal, an easy option is to
head south on Bridgeway Blvd, veering left onto East Rd toward the Bay Area Discovery
Museum. Another nice route heads north along Bridgeway Blvd, then crosses under Hwy
101 to Mill Valley. At Blithedale Ave, you can veer east to Tiburon; a bike path parallels
parts of Tiburon Blvd.
