SAN FRANCISCO THINGS TO DO
San Francisco is one of the greatest cities in the United
States. It is a wonderful place to visit and somewhere that
both young and old can enjoy. In fact if you are planning to
take a trip to San Francisco then this article is for you. It has
tons of great day trips and activities that everyone can enjoy.
SAN FRANCISCO ATTRACTIONS
Museums, symphonies, concerts and plays In fact, the very
museums that fascinate youngsters have lessons to teach
their older visitors as well. Art is a common language among
us all and the entertainment that can be found in this great
city from opera, symphonies, concerts, plays, and musicals,
to street entertainment are both top notch and appealing to
people from all sorts of backgrounds and circumstances.
Learn About Diversity The diversity of this great city is as
much a part of its appeal as are the attractions that are
designed to bring in visitors. Perhaps one of the most
attractive draws to this city for older audiences is the
significant history of this city and its people. There are many
places-museums and galleries, where you can learn about
the history and tragedies that this city has endured,
overcome, and now celebrate as part of its heritage.
The cultural diversity that this city offers is also a large draw
to older populations. From the Asian history and culture, to
the Latin history and culture, to the African American this
city celebrates it all. I think that is my favorite thing about
this city. It celebrates the good and the bad of its history
side by side. Not many places on earth can do that, much
less do it as effectively as San Francisco does.
Take a tour Additionally to all of these things, which are
quite appealing in and of themselves, San Francisco has
the trolley tours, Alcatraz Island tours, the Presidio, The
conservatory of flowers at Golden Gate Park, Wine Tasting
and winery tours, concerts and cultural events, plays and
musicals, as well as Thoroughbred racing at Golden Gate
Fields.
SAN FRANCISCO ACTIVITIES
There are so many activities that are available in San
Francisco that it is quite difficult to narrow them down to
what you can actually do in the span of a few days. If you
want to feel young again take a tour of Pier 39 at
Fisherman's Wharf. Try taking a tour of Filoli Estates in
order to see how the other half live. If you are feeling
particularly playful head out for a day at the Exploratorium,
this great place isn't only for kids.
Try out Hearst castle! You can also take a tour of Hearst
Castle. This castle was the dream home of William Randolph
Hearst, and whose dream wouldn't it be? With 165 rooms
and 127 acres to delve into this tour could be an excellent
way to spend the day. One feature of the tour that will be
sure to please is the film "Hearst Castle-Building the Dream"
that tells a little more about the man and his castle.
Off the beaten path: old faithful Another really neat
attraction for more mature audiences is the Old Faithful
Geyser of California. This is a little off the beaten path as it
is located around an hour and a half north of the city but if
you like nature and serenity it is worth a detour.
Train Tours If you like nature you may want to try one of the
train tours offered by Roaring Camp Railroads, or both.
There are two different tours offered you will want to be sure
to check for times. Also keep in mind that during the month
of December there is a special Holiday Train Lights Train
and reservations must be made in advance for that special
ride.
It is easy to see that there are a whole host of activities and
fun things to do in San Francisco. Remember that just
because something might appeal to a younger crowd the
older crowd should not rule it out automatically. Sometimes
as an adult it can be lot of fun to take part in the activities of
the younger generation. It can spark wonderful memories
and feelings of happiness. The most important thing in
planning your trip and thinking about activities is to find
things that you will enjoy. With a city as large as San
Francisco there is something that can spark fun for
everyone.
