Fisherman's Wharf is one of the most famous of destinations for visitors of San Francisco, California and with good reason. There is so exceptionally to glom and do in Fisherman's Wharf that you could quite easily plan an entire liveliness to Frisco and unaccompanied leave the Wharf as you are leaving the hamlet.

The Wharf offers more than 2, 500 hotel residence, several restaurants, and an almost endless amount of shopping, history, culture, and attractions. Anyone would be insoluble pressed not to find something fun to do in Fisherman's Wharf.

If you are interested in the sea faring culture and history of the Fisherman's Wharf, take the Port Walk, which is a walking tour that you can take at your own pace while learning about the history of Fisherman's Wharf through the various signs located along the tour. You can also tour the USS Pampanito, which was a WWII submarine, or the SS Jeremiah O'Brien, which is the last unaltered Liberty underside that is operational. Both of these can be found on Pier 45.

If you find yourself a little hungry, maybe it's time to check out the many restaurants that the Wharf has to proposal or smartly to stroll on over to Ghirardelli Square, okay, I confess, I could spend my entire vacation here. With its rich history of chocolate and chocolate making, no pun intended, this square is now home to some lovely little shops and for chocolates, clothing, souvenirs, and jewelry. Really, who could ask for more in a shopping center? Chocolate, jewelry, and clothes, the only thing missing is shoes.

Back to reality and the fact that many of us travel with family. Fisherman's wharf has a lot to offer in the way of family entertainment. Buy out Pier 39. Ever want to take a Magic Carpet Ride or star in your own musical video? What if I told you that you could actually do both? In addition to the Magic Carpet Ride there is the San Francisco Carousel, which children of all ages will love, Frequent Flyers ( perfect if you have section aspiring acrobats among you ), and Riptide Arcade ( I recommend giving dad an grant before going in here unless you want to spend most of your vacation rooted to the spot - or giving a time limit and commencement the guys while the girls go shopping ).

I can't really mention Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39, and families without brining to attention the fact that the Aquarium of the Bay is a great place for family entertainment. The aquarium is a great way for you and your family to spend the day. Not only is this a fun riding that your children will probably remember long after you've gone forward to the real world of your day - to - day lives, but it is also an educational experience that is cleverly disguised as fun. Your children will learn about all kinds of nautical life, while having a great time and never know what really hit them. This is one of those times when it is great to be a parent and you can strong-willed yourself on the back for providing an educational experience that they are enjoying. Even better, they never have to know.

Last but not least, there really isn't enough that I can say about the fantastic shopping and dining experiences that are available all along Fisherman's Wharf. There are so many shopping areas at Fisherman's Wharf that it is hard to keep them all separate in your mind but this is a girls dream vacation while still offering enough activities to satisfy the men in your life. If the history, the culture, and the fun aren't enough to convince you, so perhaps the grit should guess for itself. All you retain to do is show up with your fascination; your nose will lead the way for everything else.
