Richmond offers a varied mix of attractions suited to different ages and interests. Museums dominate the landscape, with the Richmond Museum of History & Culture presenting permanent and seasonal exhibits exploring the region's past and present, while the Eames Institute houses the Eames Archives, a comprehensive collection of more than 40,000 objects related to designers Ray and Charles Eames. For history buffs, the Red Oak Victory is a World War II Victory ship museum where visitors explore a preserved naval vessel that served during the war, and Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park tells the story of American civilians who supported the war effort during World War II. Families with younger children can head to Golden State Family Farms, where children ages 2-12 play on inflatable amusements including a superslide and duck boats, or Plark Play Space, an indoor playground where children explore through climbing, jumping, puzzles, and imaginative play. The Golden State Model Railroad Museum operates detailed model train layouts representing Northern and Central California scenery across three main modeling scales. The Fluffy Cloud Experience San Francisco is an immersive music and light show centered on a towering 15-ton illuminated orb suspended in a fog-filled venue.
