Family FUN FOR FAMILIES Whether you’re toting a diaper bag or bonding with your teenagers, San Francisco has you covered when it comes to exploring as a family. Keep everyone in your brood entertained with these kid-friendly ideas, organized by age group and interest. FAMILIES WHO WANT TO GET OUTDOORS On a sunny day, board a Blue & Gold Fleet ferry from Pier 41 for Angel Island, where your crew can enjoy sweeping views of the city skyline, stroll nature trails and take an open-air tram tour to learn about the island’s history. If your gang is hankering for a faster ride, slide down the Seward Street Slides, a pair of winding, concrete chutes tucked away in a neighborhood park. PRO TIP: Bring a piece of cardboard to use as a sled at the Seward Street Slides. 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 the 15 miles of bikeways in The Presidio, part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The Bay Area Ridge Trail is a popular cycling route that leads to show-stopping sights of San Francisco Bay. If you prefer to stay on two feet, have a family picnic at Crissy Field. The views of the Golden Gate Bridge are fantastic, and it’s a favorite spot for kite flying. 54 . sftravel.com Illustration by Claire London
