Museum - GG Park
| Golden Gate Park | |
Where can you
see buffalo grazing, ride a vintage carousel, or visit a "touching
tide pool"? Golden Gate Park, of course! With an area larger than
New York's Central Park, Golden Gate Park offers tranquility, excitement,
activities, and education that draw both locals and visitors year-round.
The park houses several museums and gardens:
Rent a pedal boat at Stow Lake or watch the radio-controlled boats on Spreckels Lake. There's even a polo field, golf course, and a great children's playground. At the children's playground on the Lincoln Avenue side of the park, the popular slide is sure to be a hit with the kids. The park also boasts a 1912 carousel with 62 different menagerie animals. The park is open every day, but Sundays are especially attractive because cars are prohibited on John F. Kennedy Drive, the park's main thoroughfare. To enter the park, the easiest route is off 19th Avenue. Parking can be difficult, so if you can take a bus, you save yourself some frustration. (An estimated 75,000 people visit the park every weekend!) |
