3 day trip

Day 1

    • Roadside Landmark
    Lombard Street

    San Francisco, CA

    • Science & Nature Museum
    Exploratorium

    San Francisco, CA

    • Theater
    • Amphitheater

Day 2

    • Historical Landmark
    • Scenic Landmark
    Alcatraz Island

    San Francisco, CA

    A visit to The Rock is a must -- nothing, it seems, fires kids' imaginations like peeking inside a cell of one of the most famous prisons on earth. Your kids...

    • Historical Landmark
    • Boutique
    Pier 39

    San Francisco, CA

    Pier 39 is one of those tourist traps that locals love to hate -- except we, too, go there to see our beloved sea lions. They sprawl -- and brawl, and bark...

    • Historical Landmark
    • Boutique
    Fisherman's Wharf

    San Francisco, CA

    It's touristy (lined with the requisite street vendors and souvenir shops), and it doesn't really have anything to do with fishing anymore, but there's a reason why visitors flock to...

    Topped with a living roof, the newly rebuilt California Academy of Sciences is home to an aquarium, planetarium and natural history museum. ...

    San Francisco, CA

    A tall, concrete art deco tower dedicated to the city by a female volunteer firefighter in 1933...

    • Scenic Landmark
    Golden Gate Bridge

    San Francisco, CA

    This one's simple: You have to do it to say you did. And, no, your kids won't let you get away with standing at one of the vista points and...

    • Park
    Golden Gate Park

    San Francisco, CA

    Your kids will never tire of climbing the park's famously steep Drum Bridge in the Japanese Tea Garden, or looking for carp in the lily ponds. And while you're admiring...
