Jack London Square station is beside Oakland’s waterfront district. The Oakland Museum of California is a longer walk inland, so give that choice a larger window.
Times to reach each place are planning allowances from the station, not measured routes. Check directions, opening hours and accessibility before you go.
Walk along the marina and waterfront, then browse the district’s dining options. The short station approach makes this a flexible place to spend a break between trains.
