Things to do in Pier 39
Located at Fisherman's Wharf, the lively Pier 39 is a top entertainment destination located on San Francisco's waterfront. The pier opened to the public on October 4, 1978, and attracts over 15 million people a year.
A stroll along the pier will leave you with plenty of picture-perfect views of the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges, Alcatraz, and the San Francisco Bay. Don't forget about the famous sea lions basking in the sun. The sea lions have been a popular tourist attraction ever since they started to flock onto the docks.
Perfect for families and people of all ages, Pier 39 consists of two levels of dining, attractions, shopping, and a beautiful two-story carousel. Enjoy the 7D experience and hop on the Dark Ride roller coaster or test your skills with the Laser Maze Challenger.
Animal lovers should head over to explore the Aquarium of the Bay, home to over 20,000 animals. Discover the diverse marine life of the San Francisco Bay, from sharks to eels and bat rays.
Open seven days a week, Pier 39 opens to the public at 11 am and closes at 6 pm. The Pier 39 parking garage is open 24/7 for those who arrive by car, otherwise, it is easily accessible by public transportation.
