I am a scientist and was at the museum today with my two kids. We've been there maybe 15 times in the past two years. I am writing to say that the museum RULES. Let me repeat: IT RULES. The exhibits are brilliant and totally in touch with the need to get kids outdoors and connected with nature.” -Anna Weinstein

“The perfect combination of indoor and outdoor experiences is a highly appealing aspect of the Museum. The exhibits and performances offered indoors are educational and really enjoyed by both of us, but we also love playing outdoors, particularly on the boat.” -Mike Broneau, father of Alexandra

“The location is awe-inspiring. It is so specific to San Francisco. My husband and I grew up in the City and the Museum captures the magical essence of the Bay. There are no other places that combine site and content so well for kids.” -Natasha Boas, mother of Jacques

“The kids get so excited here!” -Sue Baum, teacher, Jefferson Pre-K

“Alvarado Elementary has long recognized what a special learning environment the Bay Area Discovery Museum provides. Our students, teachers and parents enjoy your exhibits and school programs.” -Phyllis Matsuno, principal, Alvarado Elementary School

“Teachers describe the Bay Area Discovery Museum as an authentic experience that honors all members of the community,” – Jane Mancina, Junipero Serra Annex Child Develop Center Site Director

“Fantastic. It was wonderful. Staff had a great time. Parents thought it was wonderful. [The children] visit their pictures every day. They are covered in fingerprints.” – Doris Smith, Marin Community Child Development Programs, Novato Children’s Center Site Manager / Lead Teacher

“The children were so excited they couldn’t stop talking about how they went fishing, the brooms, and the tree they could crawl through. Staff was really great at holding their attention. We had too many adults who wanted to go.” – Shirley Lee, Commodore Stockton Child Development Center
