Suggestions for Museum near Northern Waterfront, San Francisco

Colin M. • October 24, 2013Get the food here. It's amazing and not too pricey. Best museum food ever, hands down - it's a lot better than most restaurants. Bonus: it's a good break from the crowds (kids) too

Niketa M. • September 1, 2013One of the 'must-do' things to do in SF!!

Carolyn • August 23, 2011A museum dedicated to the Beat Generation, which grew right here in North Beach. A fantastic collection of Beat memorabilia that will take you back to this important time in literary history.

Fran S. • April 23, 2016Very interesting to see the inner workings of a functioning cable car system and learn about its history. Free admission helps too.

Bennett W W. • November 7, 2014Good photographic history on streetcars of San Francisco. It's great for kids, teens, adults and seniors.

Alex G. • May 31, 2013Absolutely amazing. Grab a few friends and hang out on the roof top.

Bennett W W. • August 8, 2016Very interesting and a good way to learn about the history of Wells Fargo Bank

Laurence B. • August 4, 2017The whole museum is lovely. After their renovation, they have lots of space for exciting temporary exhibitions. The rooftop sculpture garden is a great way to take a mid-visit respite.

Kendal C. • August 14, 2018A smaller, cool museum in SOMA. Exhibits change often so there's always something new to look forward to every couple months. They offer discounted admission for students.

Blake S. • July 20, 2018An absolute MUST SEE if you are in the Fisherman's Wharf. Such a fun place to spend an hour or two playing out the evolution of arcade games over time.

Nicole A. • August 7, 2014Often incredible, daring contemporary exhibits. Always worth stopping by!

lydie t. • January 5, 2010Do not miss their exhibitions, they are always excellent. My children got mesmerized by their exhibition on traditional Jewish Plates. Who could have guessed?

Hard R. • July 28, 2019Definitely worth the extra fee.

Tim H. • May 9, 2019Beautiful new space, very cool exhibitions. Drop by for a Toon Talk from creators on the weekend!

Beth B. • October 17, 2014Free admission if you are waiting for your table at the Bistro. Otherwise $3 which would not be worth it for a sourdough museum.

Justin S. • July 2, 2015Exhibits showing some of the earliest jeans and highlighting sustainable manufacturing. Catch a catnap on the daybeds in the lobby.

Pike O. • October 13, 2013A little know place where you can learn a great deal about the history of the Golden State.

James C. • July 29, 2013Great staff and Museum. It is worth every penny and the History is needed. One of the best Museums to WWII in the country.

Sarah • November 16, 2012Was a nice tour.. Amazing to imagine how it was in action.. Liked the wave action while on it.. Get the audio tour worth it

Sabina B. • October 25, 2014Impressive collection of sketches by a range of great artists, particularly by the Impressionists. Go upstairs and to the back to check out their room of Picassos

Sarah O. • June 18, 2019The water is actually pretty tasty :)

Karen • July 5, 2022They have some amazing murals around. Take a walk to spot them!
