Erik CintronApril 27, 2017These lovely houses are exactly alike and painted the different colors. They are Victorian based people actually lived there. There perfectly aligned. It was famous for the "full house" introUpvoted 3 weeks ago
Ashley MillerMarch 14, 2015Beautiful views of downtown and the Painted Ladies! Hum the Full House theme song to yourself. Also, there are no tour buses within 5 blocks so it's quiet and relaxing.
- Taylor LeeJuly 24, 2018You can't miss the street from Full House - it's the perfect place to stop for a picnic. Be sure to pick up sandwiches from Bi-Rite beforehand!Upvoted Feb 4
Robbin CenijnApril 30, 2018Take the picture and enjoy the park. Or explore the neighborhood. There are more houses like this to photograph.
Jeroen TurelinckxSeptember 23, 2013If you're going on a sunny day, go in the afternoon. The sun will be facing the houses which makes their colors more pretty.
RENOctober 29, 2018I visited this place because of the spectacular view of SF and obviously the show “Full House”
Andrew CJuly 20, 2016Very anticlimactic... The park is being renovated, so there are so many tourists trying to get their picture in!!! Plus the bright colour of the houses are not as pronounced as thought
Majed AlashariApril 4, 2017One of the must seen places in SF. Very will noun from TV and it amazing to see it in reality.
You need to walk up the hill in the park to get a good view. So many tourists just check then out from the sidewalk on Steiner.
_October 13, 2014Famous painted ladies are across from Alamo Square. If you want to take a picture, take it across the street at the top of the hill. If not, driving by is also nice.
NatalieApril 29, 2017Beautiful area. Walk through it so that you can see how the architecture changes from street to street.
Antonio RojasDecember 24, 2016The opening scene from full house. Although some construction going on in the park so some of the park is fenced off. Still able to enjoy the vie and snap some photos
Paul T.November 25, 2014Iconic SF landmark across from a beautiful public park. Sit in the grass, warm up in the sun and admire the view.
My CheckInApril 14, 2015Parking around the park can be a challenge, but worth the sight and overall time at the park.
Allison KaminskiSeptember 5, 2015Great park to view the painted ladies which are even more exquisite up close
Ayaz HyderJanuary 2, 2017One of the two locations used for footage of exterior of the house on Full House.
Sherry ShularJuly 29, 2016Beautiful old Victorian houses you have got to see. It's just part of San Francisco.
- Kaitlin MartineauMarch 7, 2017The park is currently under construction, so there isnt a great view of the ladies from the park
Hannah GarciaAugust 13, 2015Bummed they were doing construction when we visited but a must see place when in San Francisco 🏠
Ira SerkesAugust 25, 2013Take photos from an angle ... and then climb the hill to get the view of San Francisco in the background
- drew tarvinNovember 14, 2015If you go high enough on the hill you can get a good view of SF in the background.
Doug AlesJuly 5, 2015Best photos by walking across the street to the park, then pick high spot in open field
Joseph ToweyMay 3, 2011My wife really wanted to see the famous "Painted Ladies" but after the uphill climb, was not all that impressed. I must agree, although I still think that the photos of them are flattering!
SingleMan ProblemsDecember 23, 2013For best results, capture your photos in the afternoon before other buildings cast shadows.
Dominic GadouryJune 10, 2022Great views of the city and San Fran architecture! #sanfran #paintedladies
Jacob BradyJuly 7, 2016Note that the park will be closed until 2017. You can still see the painted ladies but not from the same viewpoint as full house!
Julie VerstraetenApril 3, 2015Go there at the end of the day. With the light of the sun it s amazing
VictoriaSeptember 7, 2014They're doing construction on one of the "painted ladies" right now but at least you can still see the Full House home lol 😊
Windows Live Photo GalleryOctober 29, 2010From the park across the street from the Painted Ladies, you can get a fantastic photo of the old Victorians with the city in the background.
Bre RozApril 14, 2015Don't miss this sight. When I was there, a lady was being refurbished, hopefully you'll get the view of them all!
Marilou AlejoJuly 3, 2011If you stand on the Hayes St. side of Alamo Square, you'll have the best view of The Painted Ladies (Full House houses), St. Mary's Cathedral, the Transamerica building & the rest of downtown SF. ;)
Ann LopezFebruary 25, 2017We just went and there was a lot of construction going on in the park. But still gorgeous!
Westfield San Francisco CentreJuly 11, 2012If your heart is in San Francisco, come enjoy Westfield San Francisco Centre’s new free 3D light spectacular under the majestic 102-foot wide dome nightly! (865 Market Street)
Jens HeimNovember 4, 2011World Famous Houses, painted in different colors. Try to take some fotos during sunrise or sunset... Fantastic!
