- samatldsLondon, UK129 contributionsThis was on my bucket list of things to do. Totally loved being able to walk over the bridge and back again.
It’s rusty in so many places. When we went much of the base was covered in cloth and fenced off for painting work.
It’s much bigger than I thought - it’s just amazing. It’s a must doWritten 7 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We joined at Hyde St & North Point St in the early evening on a Saturday night - and got on with very little waiting. The brake man was exactly how I remembered; loud and a real character!
The trip itself took around 10-15 minutes, but there is something unique about being on these great survivors from a bygone age. Cost is $8 for a one-way trip.
We got out at Powell Street, where there was quite a crowd of people waiting to go back!Written 30 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I would recommend to make a moving seat like a floating seat as that will definitely give the best experience. So far, I am happy with the ride.Written 16 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Jimmie S1 contributionAmazing time ! Shout out to my man Benji! He the real MVP! I’ve done a ton escape rooms and this was extra special specifically because of Benji! We were the last room of the night and were so excited coming out of the escape room. Benji offered for us to do another one if we wanted to buy one and do it then but we declined this time. Normally when we do escape rooms, they are so quick to kick us out epically at the end of the night. It felt really good that he would stay late and allow us to do another escape room! Awesome dude! Sucks I didn’t ask about his schedule so we can come back when he is on shift !Written 5 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ewelina T2 contributionsAmazing experience!!!! If you’re in the area it’s a must do. Our host Quinn was great and we had so much fun! Our super competitive family of 4 had a blast!Written 5 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Geoffrey L1 contributionFantastic escape room. We did the Roosevelt Room, and it was challenge after challenge, which got us all working together and collaborating. Super fun. Difficult. And each challenge was unique from the last. Highly recommend.Written 15 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Boris G1 contributionNice day cycling over the Golden Gate Bridge. Good Location to pick up the bikes at Fisherman‘s Wharf. The bikes worked well.Written 23 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- kani75Chennai (Madras), India522 contributionsThe only other trampoline park we've been to is Rize in HongKong which is excellent. House of Air is very good with very helpful staff, good supervision and safety measures and decent amount of space. We were disappointed that our 4.5yr son had to use a separate area and we therefore could not all do this as a family. Other Jan that it's good fun and do try out the dodge ball game!Written 15 May 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- robertrC591BOSacramento, CA264 contributionsWe did it!!! We escaped Alcatraz!! Family teamwork. Really had to use our brains. Needed 2 hints. Was so much fun.

- Jo GBromley, UK31 contributionsPicked up a last minute spot on Sunday and didn't regret it.
Excellent and informative crew, plus the bonus of 2 fabulous sea doggos. I appreciated that they hadn't packed us in like sardines and there was space for everyone. Despite really thick fog ( I'm told we passed.under Golden Gate but didnt see it !) we did manage to see humpback feefing on anchovy. The crew were respectful of keeping a safe distance but still ensuring we had a good view.
Thanks so muchWritten 25 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Our tablet was hard to see, should have complained before setting off, but coped without visuals.

- Sam SBrisbane, Australia40 contributionsWe hired 2 x e bikes from these guys. The process of hiring was easy but somewhat frustrating. A $500usd deposit had to be given at the time of booking (we were told it could not be in cash). Once we returned the bikes the cost of the rental and the insurance that we took out was deducted from the $500 and the balance is to be refunded to our card in 5-7 days! We also had 4% tax added as we paid by card and not cash, even though we asked if we could pay by cash to avoid having to leave the country effectively with money being owed to us. Common sense needs to prevail with tourists. Where are we going with a bicycle? We aren't taking it home and if insurance has been taken out such a big deposit shouldn't be required.
Despite everything the bikes were great, highly recommend hiring e bikes as it makes the hills easier and you get much much further.Written 17 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- J0es0phieWorcester, UK84 contributionsA fantastic experience I won’t forget. Susan and Michael were so knowledgeable and answered lots of questions. We saw lots of humpbacks, a couple of blue whales and fin whales, an albatross and many other creatures. It’s a long day and the sea is quite choppy especially on the way out. I took Dramamine as advised and did not get sick. It is very cold once you get out into open ocean, I wore thermal top and leggings under 2 thick layers plus waterproof trousers and pac a mac - I was still a bit chilly. We learned lots about the wildlife we were seeing, the captain kept us informed of what was below us, and we were shown some of the sonar printouts. It was a really excellent day and knowing the fee for the trip was supporting the work of the Oceanic Society made it more special - this was not for profit venture, it was run by people who genuinely cared about their work. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it, just follow the pre-expedition instructions and go prepared !Written 14 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
