If you grew up in the east bay and you came here on school field trips this is not the same museum. It has been beautifully reimagined and updated. The price of admission is well worth it. The museum seems never ending. You can spend the whole day here learning about California history, art, culture and natural history. We will be getting a membership so we can enjoy it all year. Also have lunch at the cafe. We got the burger and chicken sandwich and this is probably the best museum food we’ve had. Most places charge a ton for mediocre food. Not the OMCA!
