Pier 39

Planning a visit? Check out their website: http://www.visitfishermanswharf.com/
​
Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco
What a fantastic area for visiting with kids! Pier 39 has a variety of shops, restaurants, and attractions, all in a carnival-like atmosphere complete with street performers. There is also a museum with relic video games and Aquarium of the Bay where you can walk through tunnels under sharks, stingrays, starfish and more. ​
You can take a boat tour out to Alcatraz Island leaving from Pier 39. Or, if time is an issue, just snap a picture. ​
Alcatraz Island, Pier 39 in San Francisco
Make sure to visit the famous sea lions. They can always be found relaxing and frolicking by the end of the pier. ​
​If you looking for even more activity, you can find bicycle rentals, open-air city bus tours, and other attractions in this area. ​
Hungry? Just think of the food you want and you will find it here. A must try is a sourdough bread bowl filled with delicious, hot clam chowder. Whether you sample donuts, corn dogs, seafood or fresh fruit, it will most assuredly be the best you've ever had. 
​The closest stop to ride the infamous San Francisco Cable Car is only a few blocks over from Pier 39 at the corners of Bay Street and Taylor Street. Hop on to take a scenic tour and explore the other districts in San Francisco. You can get discounted bulk passes, but currently it costs $7/PP trip or $20/PP unlimited all day. 

Here is a great map to see where the Cable Car's travel: http://www.sftodo.com/images/cable-car/cable-car-map-pdf-mh.pdf
Love the San Francisco Cable Cars!
