Review:
The Center for Wooden Boats is a maritime museum unlike other museums, because its collection of traditional wooden crafts is not on display. Instead visitors take the boats out into the water and learn how to sail or row while they learn about how the old mariners lived and worked. The museum is particularly interesting for those who are interested in maritime traditional skills, old boats, or just in being on the water. If you are looking for romantic date ideas in Seattle, this is a great place to visit. It is almost like a playground where you can stroll along the docks and, if you feel like it, grab a tool and help someone fix something. Alternatively, you can take a course or workshop and learn about repairs.
There is a very fine line between the people who work in the museum and those who are just visiting. You might come as a tourist, but you will probably leave with wood shavings in your hair. The Center for Wooden Boats is located in South Lake Union.
