You can walk, and at the same time have fun by visiting Union Square - there are boutiques, restaurants, trendy nightclubs.
Those wishing to find out how the Universe works should go to the Exploratorium (the museum shares extremely fascinating information with visitors).
You should definitely go with children to the Aquarium of the Bay - in this aquarium you can see the animals that live in the San Francisco Bay (children will surely enjoy watching jellyfish and octopuses, stingrays and leopard sharks). And in the children's town, opened in the Golden Gate Park, children can frolic on rides and a huge playground with modern equipment.
Visiting the Museum of the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, you can see African animals, giant skeletons of dinosaurs with gaping mouths (diarams are available for guests). On the territory of the museum there is a planetarium and a tropical forest, which is home to 40 species of birds. And you can watch anacondas and piranhas by going into the glass underwater tunnel (the hall of the flooded forests of the Amazon).
If you wish, you can visit the Steinhart aquarium: all kinds of fish, snakes, penguins live here. And you can touch hermit crabs and starfish by going to the sensory pool.
Going to Ocean Beach, you can run and do various sports on the shore (you shouldn't swim here because of the big waves). But Rodeo Beach is an ideal place for families with children: here they can pick up colored stones or fly a kite into the sky. For fishing it is better to go to Baker Beach, and a little to the north you can sunbathe on the North Baker nudist beach.
