Nearby places
Fairmont tiki bar with indoor rainstorms.
A grand old Nob Hill hotel with beehives in the rooftop garden and a family room with a bunk bed. A band plays on a boat in the Tonga Room, the hotel's old indoor pool, and at the holidays there's a life-sized gingerbread house.
A small playground on a pretty lawn, with the turtle fountain nearby and plenty of places to sit.
Nob Hill luxury hotel with a kids' program, a kids' menu, and a garden terrace.
One-floor Chinatown museum in a Julia Morgan building. Small enough for a rainy half hour, and better with school-age kids than toddlers.
Union Square hotel with two-queen rooms that work for kids of any age.
