Re: OFF TOPIC - travelling to San Fran

[Guest guest]

The Exporatorium in the Marina district is fun for children.

There is an Ice skating rink in the Embarcadero.

Fisherman's wharf has a merry-go-round.

Anywhere you end up, you will have to pay for parking either in a garage or on

the street.

I recommend getting one of those plastic coated maps. It was helpful when we

went.

Goledngate park has a garden area and the Acedemy of Science Museum, which has a

nice aquirium attached, Both are in Golden gate park.

Hi Everyone

We are making a trip to the UK in March/April and stopping in CA on

the way and on the way back. On the way we are stopping in LA and

going to Disneyland - very briefly (like 1/2 a day!!) but on the way

back my husband wants to do some work in San Fran so we are stopping

there for 2 days. We've never been to San Francisco before. I

wondered if anyone could advise places to stay (family friendly) and

things to do with 2 kids (5 and 2yrs). I want to stay someplace

that is close to the activities we want to do....I've had a look at

various websites about San Fran but am still a little clueless. Any

advice gratefully recieved!!

Many Thanks

I do not know if you are a AAA member, that can give

you some idea of where to stay. It really depends on

what you are planning to do. If you plan to stay down

town, the hotels are expensive. If you plan to stay

near fisherman's wharf, so so on the prices there. If

you want to brave the traffic and drive from a hotel

near the airport you can....otherwise look for hotels

in Marin County. Look in Bestwestern site, they have

hotels etc or as I mentioned AAA.
