Bowling downstairs from the ice rink at Yerba Buena Gardens. Bumpers, light lanes, and a good pairing with skating in one afternoon.
A downtown play stop near the carousel, bowling, skating and the children's museum.
Studios in Yerba Buena Gardens where kids make claymation, music and art with their hands. Built for ages 2 to 12, and the old carousel is right outside.
Working presses and binding machines in a small SoMa workshop, demonstrated by volunteers. Better with kids who like to see how things are made.
Modern art museum that is free for kids 18 and under, with a free education center on the second floor and hands-on activities in the Co-Lab.
Rotating contemporary art with performance and film in the mix, and the gardens right outside for when attention runs out.
