Arts & Culture

The de Young is a beautiful museum. You can even see some art in the main atrium and enjoy a meal in the sculpture park for free. From the tower see a beautiful view of the park.

Entertainment & Activities

Honestly, this is the best science museum I have ever been too. Adults and kids love it. There is an adult party on Thursdays with a DJ, bar, food, etc. I love the planetarium and rain forest!

Food Scene

We walk here every weekend to get coffee and pastries. There is a parklet outside (a VERY SF thing) that you can enjoy your treats in. I love the brioche.
