Very cool museums, good for relaxing afternoon, clean

by solarstorm

A must for any SF visit-in Citypass there is admission for Legion of Honor and de Young museum. Didn't get to visit Legion, but did visit some parts of de Young. Nice touch if you like art. Visit the Japanese Tea Garden for some beautiful pictures and relaxation. Citypass also has 7 day unlimited municipal transportion (Cablecars, Light-Rail and Buses-great value, and boy did we use it!).

  • Pros: Free, relaxing

The Japanese tea garden, the carousel, the shaded walks, I can't say enough. A great place to draw, paint, relax, picnic, walk, meet up with friends.

The Details on Golden Gate Park

Know Before You Go:

Dogs can run freely at four off-leash locations in the park: the fenced-in exercise area at 38th Avenue and Fulton, the dog run at Fulton and Stanyan, a wooded section on Seventh Avenue, and a knoll in the Outer Sunset near MLK.

The Extras:

Legend has it that a ghost police roams the park, pulling folks over and giving tickets that, once filed, reveal the officer has been dead for 10 years (and your ticket is void).

When to Go:

On the first and third Wednedays of the month, take a walking tour through Golden Gate Park. 10am-11am. Call (415) 263-0991 for information on where to meet.
