Things to do in Golden Gate Park
The Golden Gate Park, located in San Francisco, opened to the public in 1870. It welcomes more than 24 million visitors annually and is the third most visited park in the United States, only behind Central Park and the Lincoln Memorial.
This urban park provides an oasis for city dwellers to relax and escape the hustle and bustle of San Francisco. Within the 1,017 acres, you will find gardens, playgrounds, museums, art, nature, and wildlife. Plan your visit and discover top attractions or hop on a segway tour to explore the lush grounds.
Step inside the DeYoung Museum and explore different artwork from the 17th through the 21st century. Over 800 sculptures, 1,000 paintings, and 3,000 decorative objects can be found in the American art collection alone. This fine arts museum also showcases modern art, African art, and textiles.
Explore the one of a kind California Academy of Sciences. This planetarium, aquarium, and natural history museum is the only one in the world that will have your attention during your whole visit. Pass by the 4 story tall rainforest or immerse yourself in the unknown at the planetarium.
If you enjoy seeing greenery and admiring plants then a stop at the Japanese Tea Garden or the Conservatory of Flowers is a must. With its large Victorian greenhouses and glass panes, the Conservatory houses a variety of plants from different parts of the world.

Reviews Golden Gate Park
“Took a 6 yr old and an 8 yr old. This place never disappoints.”
“Annually we take our grandchildren to San Francisco for the holidays. The academy of sciences is a favorite of ours. This is the first time I preordered the tickets. It made entry so easy. The attendant scanned my tickets which were downloaded on my phone. We breezed in!”
