Japanese Tea Garden

Golden Gate Park art museum with a free observation tower at the top and a lift up for the view.

A small walled garden in Golden Gate Park planted with everything Shakespeare mentioned. Quiet, benches, and a good pause between the museums.

Rainforest dome, planetarium, aquarium and a penguin colony under one Golden Gate Park roof. The one to spend a whole wet day in.

Fifty-five acres of gardens inside Golden Gate Park with a children's garden and lawns to eat lunch on. Wide flat paths the whole way.

The aquarium inside the Academy of Sciences: a coral reef tank, a swamp with an alligator, and a touch tide pool. Included with Academy entry.

An easy energy burn between museum stops, with blue play structures right near the big cultural attractions in the park.
