Bay Area Discovery Museum

Bay Area Discovery Museum is a hands-on children’s museum located at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge in Sausalito, designed for children ages 0–8. The museum campus sits within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and features accessible parking, accessible restrooms, and paved pathways throughout the outdoor and indoor exhibit areas. Strollers are welcome throughout the museum, and service animals are permitted on the premises.

The museum offers discounted admission for EBT, SNAP, and WIC cardholders, as well as reduced rates for military personnel and veterans. Babies under one year old are admitted free. The site is reachable by public transit, including ferry from San Francisco, making it an option for families without vehicles.

Visitors report that the outdoor areas can involve some uneven or sloped terrain given the location within a national park setting, and that parking on busy weekends can be limited. The museum is generally noted as stroller- and wheelchair-friendly, with staff available to assist guests with questions about navigating the site.
