So, you’re planning on taking the family for a memorable holiday, perhaps as part of a fly-drive holiday or a long city break. Well, don’t be blinded by the charm of the east Coast, with Boston, Washington DC and of course, New York City, and give the West Coast a look. San Francisco, is an incredible city, and one you should definitely consider for a family holiday. In this post, from Hannah Shields of www.Official-Esta.com, she explores some of the City by the bay’s, most inspiring sights. So sit back, relax and enjoy.
The Golden Gate Bridge
Of course no one can deny the breath taking views of the Golden Gate Bridge. The landmark provides outstanding scenery and its no wonder that it remains one of the most visited bridges in the world. Take a camera, and capture some great shots against a stunning background. You could even take a bike ride across the bridge!
Cable Cart Rides
You and the family could experience San Francisco aboard an authentic cable cart and relaxing whilst seeing the sights. With affordable trips, you could spend some time exploring the area and give your legs a break!
Alcatraz
Why not take the ferry to Alcatraz Island to see the famous historic attraction. It’s defiantly a must see that all will enjoy. Alcatraz Island is situated in the middle of San Francisco Bay and is most famous for holding the most notorious criminals in the prison which was a maximum secure prison from 1934 until 1963. Why not enjoy with the family a night tour of the prison where many rooms are only lit by the moon light.
Lands End
If you’re an active family you may be looking for some hiking to do together on your break, so why not visit Lands End, which you will find on the north-western corner of San Francisco, and will be awestruck by the amazing and stunning views at every turn on the trails. You will be able to see shipwrecks and be able to visit the ruins of sutro baths, which would be a fantastic memory to take back home.
Bring a little magic to your trip!
If you have young children in your family perhaps you should try the San Francisco magic show, found on San Francisco’s aquarium bay at pier 39. For a whole hour you will enjoy the family friendly comedy magic experience, where you will all be left laughing and enjoying the evening.
For some more family magic visit the Walt Disney history museum, find out all about Walt and his family. You will see what the family have put on display from his birth to his death and in every room you will see a different part of his life with photos and videos. You will learn how animated movies were made and how the famous most loved character Mickey mouse was created as well as all of the other characters. The family experience you can discover old sets and old shows. Another great experience for any family.
So now you know a little more about San Francisco, and the fun you can have there, why not visit with the family. With some great packages at affordable prices, its no wonder many families choose San Francisco for their vacation of choice.
