Attractions in Oakland
USS Potomac
The 50m (165ft) USS Potomac was once Franklin D Roosevelt's presidential yacht; he fondly referred to it as the 'floating White House'. It's now moored by the ferry dock and is open for dockside tours. Two-hour history cruises are also held several times a month from April to October; call for reservations.

Museum of Children's Art
This museum, also known as MOCHA, is a combination children's art gallery, and children's art class, where your kids can create their own masterpieces. Not surprisingly, it's a very popular venue for children's birthdays. A lively farmers market takes place every Friday morning outside the museum, making this a particularly good time to visit.

Oakland Museum
Near the southern end of the lake is the Oakland Museum, which has rotating exhibitions on artistic as well as scientific themes, not to mention three worthwhile permanent galleries. These are dedicated to the state's diverse ecology; its history, from its native past to the suburban present; and California art, from lavish 19th-century landscapes to edgy contemporary works. The Lake Merritt BART station is a block away.
