Start at the enchanting Walt Disney Family Museum, where budding artists and animation enthusiasts can learn from courses and enjoy fairytale-themed birthday parties. Don't miss the Aquarium of the Bay for a fascinating underwater experience, showcasing the bountiful marine life that thrives within San Francisco Bay. Fisherman's Wharf is a must-visit when it comes to family fun, offering unique shopping, delectable dining, and exciting attractions such as the Aquarium of the Bay and Ghirardelli chocolate. Make your way around the city in iconic fashion by riding the cable cars and following the 49 Mile Scenic Drive.

Culture lovers can explore the historic waterfront district of Fisherman's Wharf and take on the nautical history of San Francisco's fishing fleet. Satisfy the whole family's tastebuds at iconic fisherman's restaurants, while taking in the lively atmosphere of this bustling neighbourhood.

Don't forget to keep the fun and frolics outdoors – explore numerous parks and green spaces throughout the city. Whatever your family's preferences, San Francisco delivers endless opportunities for bonding, adventure, and creating memories that last a lifetime.

When to visit

The finest time for a family adventure in San Francisco is during the summer months, from June to September. With warm, pleasant weather and a lively atmosphere, the city exudes holiday charm unparalleled to other seasons. Alternatively, consider visiting in fall or spring to experience the city's beauty, but be prepared for unpredictable weather by packing layers.

Staying in accommodations near Fisherman's Wharf, South of Market, and Chinatown ensures that your family is in the heart of the action. Keep in mind that San Francisco celebrates numerous festivals and events throughout the year – so plan accordingly. Due to COVID-19, be sure to check the latest travel restrictions and government health advice before planning your family holiday.
