Open

Sausalito

"definitely nerdy — but also impressive" (Nomad)
"Literally shocked by the size of the model!"
Check out the Liberty Ships WWII exhibit too

Wander a 1.5-acre working hydraulic model of the entire San Francisco Bay and Delta, built by the Army Corps of Engineers before computers took over. Interactive exhibits on tides, currents, and sea-level rise make this free waterfront spot feel like a science playground for curious minds of all ages.
