User Reviews for Golden Gate Park

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

I love Golden Gate Park, it's one of the symbols of San Francisco. 3 years ago I moved to Austin, TX and I just couldn't bare without a REAL park. I moved back to San Francisco because one of the things that I've missed the most was big, green GG Park. It gives a feel like you're in a real forrest. Plus it has many attractions within its region like Japanese Tea Garden. Go check it out and you'll fall in love, too....

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.

When you can't afford the time to visit California's state parks, just stop by Golden Gate park! Find a patch of grass off a beaten trail and sit among the trees. Soon you'll forget you're right in the middle of a bustling city!

Pros: Free

Cons: Avoid at Nighttime

Mention San Francisco and everyone thinks of the Golden Gate Bridge. It is a "must do" to walk it and get your picture taken on it. A day with the fog rolling is is even better.

Pros: Inexpensive, Good Parking

Just grab a pair of good walkin' shoes and go. Golden Gate Park is not the same by car because you will miss all the eccentricities and beautiful grounds if you don't walk through. You can spend a few days wandering around checking out the gardens, the polo field, Lake Stowe, and much more. It's free and free is good.

everyone flocks to golden gate park. all different types of people everywhere. best people watching in the city. if it's overcast-many times it is-the musuems are always a good alternative. plus the buffalo are always fun to see. hidden treasure of it-the casting lake and archery range.

There are so many things to do in Golden Gate park. From exercise, cultural experiences to relaxing under the shade of a tree reading a book. The park has gardens, museums, lakes, etc. to offer.

Pros: free, parking fairly easy

Cons: can get crowded

Editor's Review

Dappled sunlight, archery fields and family-friendly museums--this park is a sprawling urban oasis.  See the full editorial review.

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.
