Love help: What’s in San Francisco? - Help.com

Go to Fisherman’s Wharf… you will almost always see Sealion’s there…. they adopted the place years ago (it’s also a fun place to shop). The Palace of Fine Arts is a beautiful park, and the Exploritorium (near the Palace of Fine Arts) is a really fun place if you have a child’s imagination and curious nature.

I don’t have any specifics but there are so many things to do in “The City”. The theatre is great there. Phantom is coming back soon… not sure when. I’m sure there is lots on the web about details. The Curran and Gary theatres are wonderful. The American Conservatory Theatre (ACT) performs there have been known to pull some very famous people for their shows. You can also check Davies Hall, SF Symphony is a wonderful place for music.

You never know what the weather is like in San Francisco. You must always dress in layers. The fog is getting thick these days. But the temp rarely drops below 40 or 50 degrees. That’s even pretty cold for SF. Late night and mornings are worse and can drop to freezing but rarely much below that- so far this winter has been pretty light.

I couldn’t say much about shopping in SF. I don’t shop there often. But to me it seems the entire downtown Market Street area is dedicated to business and shopping. Also it’s easy enough to take BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) in and out of the City to the suburbs. There are many shopping malls both in SF and in the surrounding suburbs.

Unfortunately the FAO Schwartz Toy Store in no longer in San Francisco :(

You’ll love San Francisco :)

It’s not that cold in San Francisco. My dad works out there. It’s a big city, so it might be a few winds. So bring a couple of sweaters, and maybe 1 jacket. Couple pair of shorts, and a couple pair of pants. A few short sleeve shirts, and about 1 or 2 long sleeves.

Shopping, there are PLENTY of places to shop. Once u get out there you will see tons of places.

Head over to Pier 39, I’m sure it’ll be a little something going on over there.

San Francisco is a very busy city, but I’m sure you’ll love it.

During the day, the weather is okay. During the night it can be a bit chilly. And out here, the weather has been crazy, so you might want to check online for the weather in San Francisco.

Hmmm, I’ve never been to China Town actually. But my friends have gone tons of time. They tell me it’s great and have a lot of little nick nacks and things. I think you’ll like it.

lol… China town is great - truly a city within a city. What I normally do is go in to SF on the train (BART) then take a famous Cable Car to Pier 39(Fisherman’s wharf) The Cable Car goes right through China Town… it’s easy enough to jump on and off (just more expensive).

there is some walking involved in that process… but like any close knit city walking is inevitable, and not to painful if you are in reasonable condition.

You can buy things in China town you could not buy anywhere else.

Is Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39 the same thing? haha

You can always take a ride on the ferry out to that island…Ehhh I can’t member what it’s called.

Ohhhh yeah… the two Island in the bay… the FAMOUS Alcatraz Prison, and for a nice picnic Angel Island… an old military base long gone. Pier 39 is just one pier on the Fisherman’s Wharf. It is the tourist attraction (and is the one with the sea lions). But Fisherman’s Wharf is the entire street area there… lots of shopping and attractions like the Wax Museum (which is pretty good, a little creepy and fun).

The Earthquake sim is at Fisherman’s wharf… down the street a bit from Pier 39

and if you like chocolate… you need to look up Ghirardelli Square. While down at at the Wharf… Allioto’s is a great restaurant… but the eating in and around the Bay is soooo good for fish lovers. The Wharf is fun because the fishermen sell their fresh catches right there just like they did 100 years ago.

I was thinking of Treasure Island xD. but yea I think you’ll enjoy it out here. San Francisco is beautiful.

I’ve never been to Treasure Island… it was (is?) a military base and pretty much off limits except to personnel.
