What travellers are saying
- GJ730Glasgow, UK228 contributionsDefinitely worth a visit. Easy to get to via public transport. We walked whole bridge, though if you are short of time just walk to middle and back.Written 26 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dan SMaidstone, UK145 contributionsI’d heard a lot about this street
Photography does not do it justice
It’s slightly mad but definitely worth a visit
It’s free to walk or drive
Walking it is quite physical. But definitely recommendedWritten 11 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We downloaded the muni app to book, but ticket machines are available at the main stop or you are able to pay cash to the driver.Written 16 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- gino_o@hotmail.com65 contributionsNice place, nice shops and restaurants. It's a shame about the many drug addicts and homeless people hanging around there.Written 20 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jeesauOakland, CA3 contributionsWhat? You have never been to the Exploratorium? Or "Explo" as the cool kids call it? It's budget-friendly and has something to offer, even those folks who think "what's that? Is it 'science' or some such?" Yeah, even you! Make your way there on public transit or your two feet. Right there on the bay with the bridge in the background? Come on! Do it. No, really. Do it!Written 26 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- dustythoughtsManchester, CT2,235 contributionsThis museum is jam-packed with interesting information, memorabilia, and other assorted items associated with Walt Disney and his family - sketches, pictures, miniature trains, and video reels. It's amazing how much they were able to squeeze into this museum without making it overwhelming. Two floors of exhibits took us two hours to view, and even then we missed a few things. This museum really highlighted how much Walt Disney was able to accomplish in his 65 years!Written 18 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- XoelDallas, TX175 contributionsA must-visit spot in San Francisco, filled with seafood stands, unique shops, and waterfront views. Be mindful of the time you visit, as many shops open at 10 a.m., so arriving later ensures a fuller experience. From fresh clam chowder in sourdough bowls to fun souvenir shops, there’s something for everyone. Don’t miss the chance to spot sea lions or enjoy views of the Bay!Written 31 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sergei PT600 contributionsLots to do in the Golden Gate Park, right next to the Golden Gate Bridge and options of restaurants and shops.
You can choose to go to the Science Museum, the Botanical Garden, Japanese Garden, among others. Really nice place.
Good parking, inside or outside.Written 12 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Loved the exterior and all of the plagues and important history throughout the outside of the ballpark (and really nice statues). The inside is just as great. So many places to choose from for food…and many relevant, local food options to get a taste of San Fran while you’re there. Views from the seats are stunning; this is a stadium where the nosebleed seats aren’t a bad thing. My only major complaint is their team store was tiny and didn’t offer a variety of merch like others I’ve seen. The Braves and the Rays store both put theirs to shame. Luckily, I’m there for the game experience and the store is the least of my worries. The game day experience was perfection!Written 3 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- WIKITRAVELPEDIAMiami Beach, FL618 contributionsA nice place to spend a morning or afternoon strolling the grounds. One of the many free activities to do in San Francisco. Best part, there's no entrance fee to walk around the compound.Written 4 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- dustythoughtsManchester, CT2,235 contributionsI've been to San Francisco several times, and am disappointed that this was my first time visiting this stupendous living museum, as it was a glorious experience. The entrance fee is a bit steep ($43/person for adults), but it's absolutely well worth the price. This place is truly a living museum - it has a fascinating rainforest exhibit with living birds and butterflies, an aquarium with live animals, and a super-cool natural history museum (we loved the African Hall). The planetarium was also fantastic, although please note that you need to make a reservation for one of the shows. We enjoyed just wandering through the museum to take in the exhibits at our own pace.Written 14 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Indah EdlightzOntario, Canada4,060 contributionsNo question .. this is one of must do's when visiting San Francisco. I can think of handful cities in the world that have such a great spot to view the entire San Francisco area (360 degrees) from one spot. This spot costs $0 to visit, zero to park, but if you want to climb either one of the peaks, it is a bit of a steep hike. Great spot, must visit. Safe, clean and you see everything.Written 15 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Joe CBarry, UK84 contributionsOn our first full day in San Francisco, we wandered from our hotel near Pier 39 along to the Ferry Building to visit the farmers market and indoor stores. It's a lovely walk (on a sunny day) along the Embarcadero, with plenty to see on the way (including the tsunami warning signs!)
We found the market with no problem at all. It was bustling! We'd have happily bought the produce, if we'd had somewhere to cook it. Some amazing vegetables and fruit.
Indoors, each of the restaurants and stores were heaving with people. In the end, we picked up a drink and went to sit outside to watch the world go by for a while; and there is plenty to see (including some street performers).
We went back to the Ferry Building a couple more times during our visit. It's certainly a great place to spend time in. Bring your wallet, though. Things seemed quite expensive (to our European eyes)!Written 30 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Always interesting to see the daily food markets as well as the shops and restaurants. It's the largest Chinatown I've seen with many restaurants and interesting points of interestWritten 25 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- The_Concierge_8Trinidad and Tobago3,774 contributionsSuch a beautiful spot that seems to experience all the seasons in one day.
A picturesque walkable national park area that's full of so much history.
Remnants of some of the buildings of Adolph Sutro's legacy remains which you can still appreciate.
Do remember to visit the National Park office where you can learn about the unique landscape, geology, habitats, foliage and fauna of the area as well as about the shipwrecks offshore.
There are cool memorabilia on display and artifacts from the Victorian-era Cliff House and baths.
You can easily spend 2 hours here walking the coastal trail and taking in the amazing views! Enjoy!Written 26 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
