Treat the young ones to a good old-fashioned carnival ride at San Francisco Carousel. You'll love seeing their smiles as they bob up and down and travel round and round.

San Francisco Carousel is an interesting place to begin your discovery of Fisherman's Wharf. This spinning amusement ride is recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Allow some time for other sights like Pier 39, Golden Gate Bridge, and Alcatraz Island to really enjoy what's on offer in the area.
