This was a great place to bring our kids! I worried they might get bored of it in just a few hours, but we ended up staying until closing and probably could have been there a lot longer if they didn't start getting hungry. If we lived closer, I'd definitely get a membership.

The mission of the Oakland Museum of California is to inspire all Californians to create a more vibrant future for themselves and their communities. When the Oakland Museum of California (OMCA) first opened its doors fifty years ago, it brought together three historically independent disciplines—art, history, and natural sciences—under one roof. This progressive multidisciplinary approach was to celebrate the many facets of California.
