How kid-friendly is it?

Mission Bay food-truck park with lawn games and room for strollers; every age finds something.

Food-truck yard with open turf for younger kids to run about while you eat, and a mini golf course for older ones.

Outdoor mini golf at Mission Rock built around the city's gold-rush history, with eighteen holes that suit a school-age kid.

Mission Bay hotel with two-queen rooms and an outdoor terrace near the ballpark.

A waterfront playground that works well as a quick stop on a stroller walk, with paths and open space continuing along the creek.

A small, quirky museum built around artificial intelligence and its risks. More thought provoking than hands on for younger kids.
