San Francisco

The city rewards walking, even with kids: Golden Gate Park has a dedicated children's quarter, a buffalo paddock, and two world-class museums within its 1,000 acres. The Wave Organ in the Marina District is the kind of free, genuinely strange discovery that sticks in a child's memory for years. Muir Woods, 20 minutes north of the city, puts families among towering coastal redwoods in a way that is difficult to overstate. FamiVentura covers San Francisco with guides to its parks, waterfront, and neighborhoods, plus day trips up the coast to Muir Woods and Point Reyes.
