Fabulous museum in an unusual copper faced building. See both old and new art, and there is always an interesting special exhibit. Don't miss traveling up in the tower for a 360 view of SF - you don't have to pay museum admission to take a look.

Parks & Nature

A great playground and grassy lawn with incredible views of San Francisco. If you're traveling with kids, this is a must. When leaving the park, travel down Vermont Street, which is actually the crookedest street in San Francisco (not Lombard as most people think).

It used to be an airplane runway, and now it's a gorgeous flat dirt path and grass that hugs the Bay - perfect for running, biking, playing in the water (when the weather allows). Stop at the Warming Hut for a hot chocolate and enjoy the view of the Golden Gate Bridge.
