About this place
A railing fence right around it, so a bolter stays put, and a tall spiderweb net that keeps the school-age ones busy while a toddler pokes about.
How kid-friendly is it?
Nearby places
Built around a big spiderweb climbing net, so it holds school-age kids longest while toddlers stay low on the ropes.
Wide, quiet galleries near Civic Center. Doable as one floor and out again, and there is room to push a stroller through every room.

Made for preschoolers, with small bright play structures and a little train with two cars to climb into.
A shop at Pier 39 selling edible raw cookie dough.
A one-room neighbourhood history museum. Adult subject matter for the most part, and the walk in is the tricky bit with young kids.
