San Fran is the perfect city for a family vacation. It has tons of parks and green spaces for the little ones to run around in, many family orientated museums, and tons of kid-friendly attractions and activities.
We have visited San Francisco many times in the past, so when we took our two daughters, we were pleasantly surprised by how many family activities there are in San Francisco that are not only fun for kids but us big kids too!
It turns out, there are so many things to do in San Francisco with kids. Our girls, Kalyra (age 11) and Savannah (age 7) loved exploring San Francisco and experiencing a city with natural beauty, fun attractions, incredible food and great views.
