    "This is a relatively large park near the Golden Gate Bridge, called Golden Gate Park. General tourists will not go to this attraction specially, because we are free to travel and can be more relaxed. The park environment design is unparalleled and worth checking in for sightseeing."
    San Francisco.Sunset District
    5.9km from downtown
    Highlights: One hundred and fifty years ago, this 1000-acre park was a windswept sand dune. To this day, its autumnal music festival, Outsidelands, is an homage to its former moniker. These days, you'll find the same serenity with a myriad of attractions -- art museums, a Japanese tea garden, a Shakespeare garden, even a buffalo paddock. Or, get active -- hike, ride horseback, learn archery or feed ducks at any one of three ponds. What Central Park is to New York, Golden Gate Park is to San Francisco. Stretching from the Panhandle to Ocean Beach, Golden Gate Park is over 1,000 acres of gardens, lakes, and cultural institutions. The deYoung art museum and family-friendly Academy of Sciences can be found near the Japanese Tea Garden, an elaborate maze of sculpted landscape leading up to a tea house. Rent a paddleboat at Stow Lake, or watch members of the San Francisco Model Yacht Club race their handmade boats around Spreckels Lake. While there are a number of homeless encampments throughout the grounds, it doesn't take away from the park's beauty.

    "I love the aquarium because you can see everything, don’t take a whole day, you have time to see other exhibits. We love the tunnels here, the fish swim above us, we watch the sharks up close by the wall. We really enjoyed the colourful seagull tanks. In a smaller area there are really lots of fish. You can also feed manta rays and fish while swimming. It was really nice to come to this place to see."
    San Francisco.Fisherman's Wharf
    3.9km from downtown
    Highlights: Open seven days a week, Aquarium of the Bay at Pier 39 and the Embarcadero in San Francisco is an educational facility dedicated to the teaching about marine environments and inspiring conservation of the San Francisco Bay. The aquarium is home to sea lions, 100s of large fish species, sharks, and over 20,000 marine animals. Daily scheduled bat ray feeding teaches you how these animals are fed and special events throughout the year target student tours with lessons about the care of the tanks, the marine life, and the environment as a whole. Located at the Fisherman's Wharf, you are minutes away from dozens of dining and shopping choices both family friendly and geared to single adults.

    "Amazing place, all animals are content and look in good shape. The walking area around the zoo is open, easy to walk, and has a great view of the animals and their surroundings. The area is clean and tidy, and there are lots of good things to buy in the store. The lounge and baby amenities are good."

    "The best museum I have ever been to in my life, the details are so detailed, the history and facts are so rich, too much fun to find, too much to see, read, and hear. Please don't rush to see the flowers, because you can't see them all the day you visit here. This is the best museum I have ever been to in my life and is very well built. I will come back if I come back to San Francisco one day."
