Start with direct sources
For hours, prices, reservations, age rules, and access details, we prefer the venue, park agency, museum, or program's own website.
About Family Friendly SF
Practical ideas, with sources you can check.
Family Friendly SF is an independent local directory and planning resource. It brings together public information, official venue details, local context, and community suggestions so families can compare options without opening twenty tabs.
Show freshness honestly
Articles and family guides display an editorial update date. Time-sensitive details link to the official source because they can change after publication.
Separate curation from verification
A place can be included because it appears useful to families. Inclusion does not mean every claim has been personally tested or independently certified.
Correct the record
Readers and venue operators can report a closed location, inaccurate detail, or missing context. We review corrections against a direct source before updating.
What we publish
Explore Spots is the searchable directory of individual places. Articles offer roundups, comparisons, and seasonal ideas. Family guides go deeper on routes, costs, timing, and logistics. Neighborhood pages group nearby places into a manageable outing.
What inclusion does not mean
A listing is not a guarantee of availability, safety, accessibility, quality, or fit for a particular child. Conditions, staffing, prices, and policies change. Confirm consequential details with the linked official source.
How freshness labels work
Details checked means key planning details were compared with the official source shown on the page on the recorded date. It is not a personal-visit or safety claim.
Refresh pending or source needed means the page is still useful for discovery, but families should confirm changing details before making a special trip.
Corrections and suggestions
Found a stale hour, a broken link, or a place that has closed? Send the page URL and the best direct source you have. Venue owners can submit corrections, but they cannot buy a positive description or ranking.
