Kids can gain an entirely new perspective on the exhibit by climbing up to the “attic” perch. How Things Workįrom household appliances to a circuit board and a Mini Cooper, this exhibit reveals the inner workings of familiar objects to spark children’s curiosity and encourage abstract thinking. The bay and water room features a play structure offering different tactile experiences, while the forest and habitat room offers plenty of interactive areas to explore, and a black-and-white wall mural by Steven Valenziano features animals and plants that are native to Marin County. Landscape-inspired rooms invite toddlers to crawl, feel and hop through themed environments, all the while gaining an age-appropriate introduction to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) learning concepts. This year, the museum has completed a major $20 million renovation of its campus, with five new research-backed exhibits designed by renowned architecture firm Olson Kundig and Design Principal Alan Maskin. Here’s a look at these new spaces.
But the real draw here are the interactive, learning-oriented exhibits that keep kids, from tots to 10-year-olds, engaged, excited and exploring - earning much gratitude from weary parents and caregivers. The museum’s spectacular Fort Baker setting in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, in the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge, is a definite perk. Beloved by local families for more than three decades, the Bay Area Discovery Museum (BADM) in Sausalito welcomes more than 350,000 guests a year.
