Fodor's Review:

Though slightly off the main drag at the south end of Lake Union, the center is a great place to launch your expedition if you're interested in exploring the water (or just the waterfront). Check out the 1897 schooner Wawona and the other historic vessels on display, watch the staff at work on a restoration, rent a boat at the Oarhouse for a sail around the lake, or have a picnic.

  • Cost: Free
  • Open: Museum Jun.-Aug., daily 10-8; Sep.-Oct. and Mar.-May, daily 10-6; Nov.-Feb., daily 10-5. Boat rentals start at noon most days; call to confirm hrs
