Musée Mécanique

A WWII submarine tied up at the wharf that you walk through end to end, torpedo room included. Thrilling for school-age kids.

Sourdough landmark at the Wharf with a kids' menu and bread animals to look at while you wait.

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.

Oddities and optical tricks along the wharf. Pricey for what it is, but it holds a school-age kid for an hour on a wet afternoon.

An observation wheel by the wharf with enclosed gondolas. Twelve minutes up top with the bay laid out, and no scary bits.

Wharf seafood house with a kids' menu and boats to watch from the window.
