    Unless your children are very young (under 8 or 10) expect to be there most of the day. Not of interest for little ones. There are lockers at the entrance for 2quarters each time you open the locker. There is a change machine that provides quarters only. Bring lunch, snacks and water! And kids should dress in layers. There are some areas where they'll work up a sweat.

    An interesting busy place in touristy Fisherman's Wharf. The lobby is spacious offering high tables from meals brought from outside. Original decoration and plenty of games and camp fires in the courtyard where you can cook your mashmallows. Excellent location, close to the cable car turn over and pier 39. You can easily walk to Alcatraz cruise deck or even to Exploratorium, a very interesting science museum.
