10 Things to do in Vallejo That You Shouldn't Miss
Vallejo (/vəˈleɪ(h)oʊ/ və-LAY-(h)oh; Spanish: [baˈʎexo]) is a waterfront city in Solano County, California, located in the North Bay sub-region of the San Francisco Bay Area. Vallejo is geographically the closest North Bay city to the inner East Bay, so it is sometimes mistakenly associated with that region. The population was 115,942 at the 2010 census. It is the tenth most populous city in the San Francisco Bay Area, and the largest in Solano County. Vallejo sits on the northeastern shore of San Pablo Bay, 30 miles north of San Francisco, the northwestern shore of the Carquinez Strait and the southern end of the Napa River, 15 miles south of Napa. The city is named after General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, a native Californio, leading proponent of California's statehood, and one of the first members of the California State Senate; the neighboring city of Benicia is named for his wife, Francisca Benicia Carrillo de Vallejo.

There's a lot to like about this museum. I wish we could have had a guide to explain things and answer our questions, but the exhibits are well designed for self guided tours. The most interesting exhibit by far is the control room of the USS Mariano G. Vallejo. Getting good photos in there is tricky because of the lighting and limited angles, but you can do pretty well if you're persistent.

Reviewed By Popovtown - Vallejo, United States
Very popular way to commute or take a day trip to the city. Ferry is clean, crew is professional and friendly. Very dependable and always on time! What more can you ask for! Passengers are respectful and crew does not allow for children running on boat. Love taking my nap and in 60 minutes I am getting off at the ferry building.
