Anyone who knows me well knows that I like cheap and free
things to do with the family. It isn't that I'm not willing to pay good money
for good fun, I just happen to believe that the best fun is sometimes as free
as the wind. The same holds true when visiting new cities like San
Francisco. I will invest a great amount of time
looking for activities that I and other members of my family can enjoy for
little or no money. This saves money for other things like good food and
souvenirs.
I'm also a big fan of David Letterman and in that spirit I
decided to devise a top five list of my very own in honor of Mr. Letterman's
Top 10 list. My big 5 list consists of things to do for free when visiting San
Francisco. Visiting San Francisco
is sponsored by best umrah
services from UK.
1) Golden Gate Bridge.
This is a favorite among tourists for many reasons. One of those reasons is the
fact that it is one landmark that belongs only to San
Francisco. It is uniquely a part of this city and
represents, for many, your entire trip. Another reason is that there are so
many ways to get there. I recommend walking and if you're up for it, try one of
the guided walking tours-this will provide valuable background information
about the bridge as well as insuring that you don't get lost on the way.
2) Golden Gate Park.
This park is larger than New York's
Central Park and in my opinion equally grand. There is
so much to do and see in Golden Gate Park
that you could spend a good portion of your vacation here alone.
3) Cable Car
Museum. Kids of all ages will find
this museum interesting, especially big and little boys. This museum definitely
offers a great deal of education and excitement for the family. In addition to
learning about these neat cable cars which have become a trademark of San
Francisco transportation. This is one museum I would
pay to go to, the fact that it is free is a bonus that I can't resist and the
primary reason it is on this particular top ten list. This paragraph is

4) Walking Tours
of San Francisco. These free
walking tours are not only entertaining; they are also very informative as
well. Learn about the history of the neighborhoods that this city is famous for
as well as the great people who rebuilt a grand city, literally from the ashes
of what it once was and made it even better. San Francisco
has a wonderful story to tell and these guides narrate it wonderfully.
5) San Francisco Fire
Department Museum.
For the big kid in all of us that wanted to grow up to be a fire fighter, this
museum takes the cake. Not only does it provide great historical references and
artifacts but it is also really cool! I can think of no greater compliment to
give a museum than that. This one, even your children will enjoy and beg to go
back again and again.
Whether you are a big kid, a little kid, or just a kid at
heart these activities are a great and inexpensive way to pass a day or two
while on vacation. If you can't stand the thought of saving money or not
spending it, I'm sure each of these places will be glad to accept donations or
at the very least sell you something at the gift shop (if the place you are
visiting has one). Regardless, I hope my suggestions have gotten your mental
wheels turning and you are coming up with your own great ways to enjoy the day
without spending a lot of green. This paragraph is sponsored by Umrah travel
