Family FUN FOR FAMILIES Traveling with kids in tow? From outdoor adventures to arts and culture — no matter how your brood enjoys spending time together — San Francisco has you covered. Here are a few ideas, organized by age group and interest. FAMILIES WHO WANT TO GET OUTDOORS On a sunny day, rent a paddleboat, rowboat or motorboat on Stow lake in Golden Gate Park, which has supplied adventures on the water since 1893. if your gang is hankering for a faster ride, slide down the winding chutes of the Seward Street Slides, a pair of concrete slides tucked away in a neighborhood park. PRO TIP: Bring a piece of cardboard to use as a sled. Seeing San Francisco on two wheels is truly an exhilarating experience. Rent bikes to ride across the Golden Gate Bridge for unbeatable views and fresh air. Or cruise one of the 15 miles of bikeways at The Presidio in the beloved Golden Gate National Recreation area; the Bay area Ridge Trail is a favorite cycling route that leads to show-stopping sights of San Francisco Bay. if you prefer to stay on two feet, The Presidio’s Batteries to Bluffs Trail gives hikers the opportunity to spot dolphins, butterflies and birds. 54 . sftravel.com Illustration by Claire Lordon
