Center for Wooden Boats

Frommer's Review

This unusual little museum is basically a collection of wooden boats. Most are tied up to the docks surrounding the museum's floating boathouse, but some are stored on the dock itself. Dedicated to the preservation of historic wooden boats, the center is unique in that many exhibits can be rented and taken out on the waters of Lake Union. There are both rowboats and sailboats; rates range from $15 to $45 per hour (call for hours of availability). Free classic boat rides are held on Sunday from 2 to 3pm. Adjacent to the center, you'll find the 12-acre Lake Union Park and the South Lake Union Historic Ships Wharf, which is home to a handful of historic vessels.
