Family Reviews

"Disc golf with my 8-year-old here is our Saturday morning thing. Free, beautiful, and the views of the Golden Gate Bridge from the course are unreal."

"We do free museum Saturday once a month. The Rodin sculptures outside are perfect for kids who can't sit still inside β€” art they can walk around and touch (the grass, not the sculptures)."

"Lincoln Park is so underrated. We hike to Lands End, picnic on the lawn, and the kids have more space to run than anywhere else in the city. Our secret spot."
