I likes this mini golden bridge structure

Visiting the iconic Golden Gate Bridge and exploring the trails surrounding it was an awe-inspiring experience that left us with lasting memories. From the historic Fort Point National Historic Site to the enchanting Torpedo Wharf, every moment was filled with wonder and beauty.

This tiny open museum is pretty fun spot with miniature models, past vs present structure comparison and wind resistance model check (which isn’t functional atm)

Throughout our visit, we couldn't help but marvel at the engineering marvel that is the Golden Gate Bridge. Its towering presence and vibrant orange hue against the backdrop of the ocean and rolling hills were simply mesmerizing. We walked across the bridge, taking in the panoramic views of the bay and the cityscape. It was an exhilarating and invigorating way to appreciate the bridge's grandeur and beauty.

Whether you're a history enthusiast, nature lover, or simply seeking a mesmerizing backdrop, this destination has something for everyone. Be prepared to be captivated by the grandeur, history, and natural splendor that make the Golden Gate Bridge and its surrounding trails a must-visit location.

Sehr empfehlenswert, wenn man sowieso schon bei dem Aussichtspunkt ist. Man erfährt hier die Geschichte der Golden Gate Bridge, welche sehr faszinierend sind. Ergänzend gibt es noch ein paar Modelle, an denen man selbst einmal die verschiedenen Statiken testen kann.
1 Punkt Abzug da leider ein bisschen in die Jahre gekommen. Die Tafeln könnten mal erneuert werden und die Modelle instand gesetzt.

금문교에 대한 정보들과 모형들이 전시되어 있다.
당시 건설비용 $35 백만은 2016년 기준으로 환산하면 $15 억이란다.
Golden Gate 는 다리의 색깔이 아니라 Golden Gate Strait라고 불렸던 샌프란시스코 만 입구의 이름이라고.
또 개통된 1937년 당시에는 세계에서 가장 길고 높은 다리였다고.
그리고 금문교에는 아르데코(Art Deco) 양식의 구조물이 곳곳에 있다고.

This free outside area has a couple of interactive demonstrations, and well written placards showing the history and impact of the bridge.

It's a shame it's a bit hidden, everyone who is interested in the bridge should spend 15m here!

Take some time to view the informative placards, the display models, and wonderful history of the bridge including design and construction. Very cool exhibits.
