Transamerica Pyramid

A small history museum with a current pinball exhibit, including a one of a kind machine made for the 1939 world’s fair.

Skip this for now. The whole park closed for a major rebuild in June 2026 and is expected to stay closed until 2028.

Financial District hotel that hands toddlers through school-age kids a welcome tote with crafts.

There is no permanent museum building now. Exhibitions pop up in changing spaces around the Bay Area, so check the current show first.

A small volunteer-run history hall in Japantown. Reading-heavy, and better with older children.

A small downtown playground with restrooms, handy when you need a quick play break rather than a destination park.
