Courtyard San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf

Wharf hotel with a heated pool, a games room, and outdoor space for kids to burn energy.

Wharf hotel with scooters to borrow, board games, baby gear on loan, and fridges in the rooms.

Fisherman's Wharf hotel with games to borrow and bikes to rent, a good base for school-age kids.

The tourist stretch of the waterfront: street performers, crab pots, and the sea lions a short walk along. Crowded, flat, and easy with a stroller.

Free exhibition hall by the cannery with a huge Fresnel lighthouse lens and ship models. Twenty minutes, and warm when the fog is in.
