My girlfriend and I are taking our daughters to San Francisco for the weekend in August. Girls are all buddies and are 9, 12, 13. We need suggestions for fun for them and fun for us!
About Kim Orlando, Traveling Mom
After years of traveling every week for business, Kim Orlando sought out other moms who traveled to understand how they dealt with the guilt, the scheduling and their family relationships. Advice from the trenches made travel–and life–much easier and often much more fun. Kim realized that other traveling moms would appreciate these insights, too, and TravelingMom.com was born. Just a few years later, TravelingMom is among the largest independent family travel website with the leading travel writer network. The advice and insight of this community is sought out by national news networks, travel companies and traveling moms who need to know before they go.
She has been selected as the travel expert for Wyndham's Women on Their Way, Mom Talk Radio and has been featured in Good HouseKeeping, NY Times Travel, Forbes.com, Hannah Storm’s CBS News Blog, JuJu Chang's Moms Get Real and The Montel Williams Show.
7 Free Family Things to Do Near Madison WI
Everything I think of that comes to mind is food related 🙂 I go to SF 4 times a year for work.
– Vital Leaf Tea in Chinatown. Free tea tasting. Sit as long as you want and they will brew samples of tea for hours- their employees are very engaging.
– Maykadeh- one of my favorite Persian restaurants ever. Delicious and a great experience.
– Musee Mecanique- a great place on Fisherman’s Wharf that is filled with antique operable arcade games. A great experience.
Good luck!
Your question propelled me back to my last trip to San Francisco with my daughter and while my response is likely not the type you’re seeking, your question made me think and made me write 13 Hours in San Francisco (https://www.travelingmom.com/blogs/2196-13-hours-in-san-francisco.html) for TravelingMom. I hope you will share what you do with our readers. I’m going back there soon for another adventure with my daughter.
