Erin’s Notes on San Francisco with Kids
Definitely check out the California Academy of Sciences! The albino aligator and the octopus are worth it alone. CA Academy of Sciences for both 4 and 7 yr old (if you’re a member, go on the Members morning when you get in an hour before the public; if not, buy tickets online and go early; Planetarium show starts at 9:30, Rainforest opens at 10:00, aquarium/living roof open all the time) Friday nights at the de Young are also really fun with Tut themed activities for kids and music. King Tut for 7 yr old, maybe not for 4 yr old (drive/park at the museum garage or along the perimeter driveway, go midweek at the 9:00 am viewing and get the audio tour for all participants). The fact that Tut became king at age 9 (a 3rd grader!) and died at 19 was a big selling point. Randal Museum (they have a great model train set there) Stern Grove does SUnday music in the park Farmers Market at the Ferry Building Ferry ride to Sausalito Ghiradelli Square (ice cream) Tour AT&T parkJust a thought if you are in GG park, of course the playground and carousel are a fun stop there as well. The tower at the deYoung is free if you are across at the Academy of Science even if you aren’t checking out the King Tut exhibit.
One thing I’ve wanted to do but haven’t yet is go to the Conservatory of Flowers – they had an exhibit that was miniature recently that i think may be gone but there is one now called Edible Expeditions.
Children’s PLayground – GGP
We tried Alcatraz with friends who had slightly older kids (9 and 7 yo) and I wouldn’t recommend it. It was too lengthy, too conceptual and for the younger ones, way too scary and dark. Maybe a hike on Angel Island instead.
we like taking the ferry over to tiburon, where the kids can run around and play and then we eat a guaymas and get ice cream before taking the ferry back across.
I had a great time with a friend doing a cable car from the Ritz Carlton down to the Ferry Building!
