Free first Wednesdays — Zoo and Exploratorium
Two of the best things to do for kids — and for adults, too! — are free on the first Wednesday of every month.
San Francisco Zoo: Wednesday 10 to 5. Note: The free day is ONLY for San Francisco residents — bring proof with you (driver’s license, ID, or local bill). The Zoo is on Sloat Boulevard and 47th Avenue (near Ocean Beach) in the Sunset. The Muni Metro L Taraval goes right there. More info: Zoo website. Phone: (415) 753-7080
Exploratorium: Wednesday 10 to 5. Hundreds of interactive exhibits to play with. Lots of fun! Last year, out of the 600,000 people who visited the Exploratorium, 44,500 came on free first Wednesdays. Located in the Palace of Fine Arts in the Marina. More info: (1) visitors page, and (2) fact sheet. Phone: (415) 561-0360
