Westin St. Francis Glass Elevator

The St. Francis is a lovely hotel, and one of the best things about it is that security doesn’t seem to mind when people who aren’t hotel guests use its glass elevators. There are five elevators that run the height of the building and offer spectacular views of the city and the Bay. It’s well-known to locals that this is the best view in town. children enjoy taking a trip to the top almost as much as they like Fisherman’s Wharf. Sure, this isn’t a traditional tourist attraction, but it’s so much fun. And since it’s free, you can’t argue with the price.

Wave Organ

File:Wave Organ 2.jpg

The Wave Organ, an Exploratorium artist-in-residence piece, is a wave-activated acoustic sculpture located on a jetty in the San Francisco Bay at the tip of the Marina. It’s not a video game, nor is it in high definition. It doesn’t shock you terribly or run up your credit card. It just makes a very pleasant sound that your children will find delightfully bizarre. Waves going through the Wave Organ make it play something that’s not quite music, but certainly not just noise. It’s like stepping inside one of the seashells that you hold up to your ear.

On the plaza, there is a little café where you can get pastries, coffee or a glass of wine.
