This is a good gem I wasn't expecting. I came here for a private after hour event. After checking out some of the lobby information table, I went into the visitors center. There's a lot of information of building ships during the second world war. Then past this, you want into a map of the Bay area water ways. It's very different as the water ways is the focus point and not the land masses. I'll definitely comeback for another visit.

Very cool museum. Unfortunately when we went they were doing repair work and we're not running the model, but it was still really cool to see the model. The museum also has a nice video and lots of displays explaining some of the history of the model. Definitely would recommend checking it out if you're into history and/or engineering museums.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this place. I was the first one through the door in the morning and luckily the museum director happened to walking through and greeted me, I asked a rather in depth question and got the most knowledgeable and in depth. Which lead to more questions, director gave me at least 30 minutes of their time. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Bay Model is a working hydraulic scale model of the San Francisco Bay and Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta System. While the Bay Model is still operational, it is no longer used for scientific research but is instead open to the public alongside educational exhibits about Bay hydrology.
