So I’m going up to San Fran today with my two daughters, 6 and 4. What would be good activities for them? ---

It’s across the Golden Gate Bridge but when we lived down there the [Bay Area Discovery Musuem](http://bayareadiscoverymuseum.org/) was a hit with my son (three years old at the time). Might be nice in conjunction with a walk around the bridge. _sigh_ As much as I do love the Seattle area, I do miss the Bay Area quite a bit. Those trails and parkland on both sides of the bridge are paradise. ---

How often do you go to SF? At that age, Exploritorium/Pier 39 could be a day. Zoo/beach could be a day Golden Gate Park / Academy of Sciences could be a day ---

At that age, I would say Golden Gate Park. California Academy of Sciences, Japanese Tea Garden, nice playground at the east end (and a carousel IIRC), rose garden, paddleboats, etc. ---

Exploritorium hands down. There’s nothing to compare in the city for that age range. It’s an absolute blast. ---

When? June is Gay Pride month and the last weekend (23=25) will be a mad house. ---
