Fodor’s Around San Francisco with Kids

What you need to know before your trail

There are tons of things to see and do in San Francisco. Great for kids to do such as parks and seeing the seals on Pier 39. Not everything has to be expensive either, it just takes this book and a little forward planning to see the city through the eyes of a small child and/or a very happy parent with money left in your pocket at the end of the day.

From Alacatraz island to the Bay area discovery museum, via China Town to  the Embarcadero, this is the A to Z of places to see in San Francisco.

Lombard Street with its twists and turns is fun to see – adults will recognise it from the Steve McQueen film amongst others. See the seals on Pier 39, take a tram ride and see them turn around just like in Thomas the Tank Engine!

Just don’t forget to see the city from the best bird’s eye view – the San Francisco bridge and Coit Tower!
