I usually suggest starting with the California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park. It’s got an aquarium, a planetarium, a natural history museum, and even a rainforest dome — all in one spot. Super fun for kids and honestly, adults love it too.

The Exploratorium on the Embarcadero is another top pick. It’s an interactive science museum that’s basically a giant playground for curious minds. It’s the kind of place you can spend hours in without realizing it.

Pier 39 is a classic. Yeah, it’s touristy, but kids love watching the sea lions, checking out the carousel, and grabbing a snack. You’ve also got street performers that keep things lively.

For a bit of a thrill, take a ride on the cable cars. They’re a blast for kids and give you some awesome views. And if the weather’s nice, Crissy Field is perfect for a family picnic with space to run around and views of the Golden Gate Bridge.

If you’re up for a little adventure outside the city, Muir Woods is a beautiful and easy nature walk among the redwoods — peaceful and fun, even with little ones.
