San Francisco

San Francisco is a wonderful adventure, and the city is Travel For Kids’ own "backyard." Just a few of our favorite things to do with kids in San Francisco are take the ferry to Sausalito (best deal for a bay cruise), walk over the Golden Gate Bridge, step into new worlds at the Exploratorium, visit a rainforest at California Academy of Sciences, see how fortune cookies are made, and sample ice cream all over the city.
