Angel Island

Explore the island on a Segway with a professionally guided 45-minute or 2-hour tour.

Angel Island also offers special catering and recreational equipment rentals for groups and picnics. Click here for more details. Only service animals are allowed on the island.

Aquarium of the Bay

Get face to face with the wondrous marine life that lives in the Bay.
Explore the underwater world of the Bay as you walk through 300 feet of crystal clear tunnels surrounded by an incredible variety of marine animals indigenous to the local waters, including the Bay’s largest predators: seven gill sharks. As you touch sharks, rays, skates and sea stars, naturalists are on hand to answer questions.

Bike the Bridge

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced rider, biking the bridge is fun for everyone.
One of the best ways to experience the Golden Gate Bridge is to bike across it and continue on to the quaint seaside towns of Sausalito and Tiburon. Pedaling is easy on the new and scenic National Park bike path. Ride through Fort Mason, the Marina, and Presidio National Park to the Golden Gate Bridge. It’s fun and easy to cross the bridge in the safe bike lane over to Sausalito for seaside dining before catching the ferry back to San Francisco.

CityPASS San Francisco

CityPASS is valid for nine days, so it’s perfect for a week or weekend, saving you time and money and lets you avoid most ticket lines.

CityPASS upgrades available here or at our box office.

Walt Disney Family Museum

Interactive galleries and state-of-the-art technologies tell the remarkable life story of legendary Walt Disney.
Narrated in Walt’s own voice and illustrated with early drawings, cartoons, music, movies, a 14-foot model of Disneyland and more than 200 video screens, the Walt Disney Family Museum also features a café, store and a theater that shows Disney classics daily. The museum is founded by the Walt Disney Family Foundation.
