Very fun. It was vacation, and yes, I confess, I was a total tourist and enjoyed Pier 39. Great shops, really great food. Perfect place to wander around and enjoy the kinds of crowds you are willing to deal with because it's a vacation.

fun afternoon spot. I took my parents here over the weekend. Yes, it is a touristy spot but sometimes it is nice to be a tourist in your own town!

Recommended (but w/Mixed Feelings). I've got mixed feelings about pier 39. The shops, and their staff s are very good, but the common areas are crowded and a bit cramped. I also have buyer's remorse about some of the pricey items I bought.

On the other hand, one can find beautiful, original art that cannot be found anywhere else. As far as the eateries, if you get a nice table, the views of the bay are fantastic. In fact, one would be hard-pressed to find a better place at the Embercadero to eat, while relaxing at the same time.

Editorial Review. Located along San Francisco Bay, this shopping mecca lures tourists and locals to its specialty shops, restaurants, aquarium, and many of its other attractions.
