The Exploratorium

posted by dweingarten on 14 October 2010 at 17:35

it says it's an ongoing exploration of science, art and human perception and you really get that once you get inside and start experiencing and exploring all the exhibits. Covering a phenomenal breadth of subject areas the exploratorium is a place guarenteed to please, and i'm already itching to go back again, shame i live so far away!

palace of fine arts, 3601 Lyon Street, there's plenty of buses that go there

Golden Gate Park

This garden is just fantastic, my girlfriend and I remember it as the best day we had in SF. There are numerous different gardens to explore, lakes and an arboretum, as well as other attractions we didn't fo in to. The japenese tea garden was a particular highlight, and the tea there was just the ticket after our long walk!

it's easiest to drive and we used the GPS on our hire car

Gendarmenmarkt

My girlfriend and I stumbled across this stunning square late at night and were so taken by it we had to go back the next day for a proper daytime look. The buildings there are just fabulous and the museums in the french and german cathedrals are really interesting.
