Trips to San Francisco
Good to know
What is the weather in San Francisco in May?
Cool and often misty, especially near the bridge and the ocean. Morning fog usually lifts by midday, and layers handle the rest, so a light jacket goes a long way.
Can you walk across the Golden Gate Bridge?
Yes. Pedestrians use the east walkway, which looks back toward the city and the bay. The 45 minutes set aside for the bridge covers the walk and the viewpoints at an easy pace.
How much time does the Disney Family Museum need?
The plan gives it two hours, which suits a family with children. It tells Walt Disney's story in order, so move through at the group's own speed.
Are the Japanese Tea Garden and Botanical Garden close together?
Yes. Both sit inside Golden Gate Park, a short walk apart, which is why they share one afternoon on this trip.
Which Fine Arts Museums building is on this route?
The de Young in Golden Gate Park. The Legion of Honor, the institution's second building, sits in Lincoln Park and is not part of these three days.
How much time does the Exploratorium need?
This trip gives it two hours in the evening, the last stop of day three; the hands-on floor fills the time.
