San Francisco is a popular tourist destination, famous for its chilly summer fog, steep hills, and its famous landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and the Fisherman's Wharf.
Fisherman's WharfOnce home to over 400 boats, the Fisherman's wharf today is often packed with tourists. San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf is a world famous tourist attraction with plenty of sidewalk seafood vendors, souvenir shops and other attractions for the family. The world renowned spot is a San Francisco must see for all vistiors.
The Fisherman's Wharf specializes primarily in family entertainment with a neighborhood feel. The famous sea lions, Wax Museum, Ripley's Believe It or Not! Museum are but a few of the attractions that the Wharf has to offer. While admission to the Fisherman's Wharf is free, there are some attractions that require a fee for admission. Tourists are free to walk through the Fisherman's Wharf and soak in the sun and fun. Take a walk through the Aquatic Park and enjoy views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz in the background.
- ;Aquarium of the Bay is San Francisco's only aquarium dedicated to the underwater life that populates the San Francisco Bay. Visitors can view sharks and various fish through the 300 ft. crystal clear tunnels.
- Boudin Museum and Bakery Tour offers a rich history of Boudin and San Francisco. Visitors are welcome to tour the bakery and witness the history of baking.
- Ripley's Believe it or Not! and the Wax Museum are main attractions at the Fisherman's Wharf. Ripley's Believe it or Not! is two floors of strange and unusual exhibits. The Wax Museum at Fisherman's Wharf hosts more than 240 life-like wax models of famous celebrities and U.S. Presidents.
- ;The famous Sea Lions of Fisherman's Wharf are been named the'Sea Lebrities'. During winter season the population of Sea Lions on the Wharf are numbered in the 900s!
AlcatrazFor patrons to the Fisherman's Wharf, Alcatraz is another spot that is a must see. Most people are aware that Alcatraz was once a famous penitentiary. The history Pre and Post penitentiary is less known to most. Prior to being a famous Penitentiary, Alcatraz was a military fortress for the Spanish explorers in the early 1700's. Alcatraz is now a National Park for the state of California. Today, Alcatraz is preserved in it's original conditions as a penitentiary and is open to the public to explore and learn about the historic island in the bay of San Francisco. A ferry leaves Pier 33 daily to transport visitors to the island of Alcatraz.
San Francisco is a multi-faceted town with lots of venues and attractions to offer visitors and tourists of all ages. The Fisherman's Wharf and Alcatraz are geared more towards the family. However the nightlife in San Francisco is left for the adults after the kids are in bed after a long day at the Fisherman's Wharf.
