Things To Do


Home to many San Francisco attractions, at Fisherman’s Wharf you can let your imagination run wild! Experience living history by touring the historic ships on the Hyde Street Pier or hop on a cable car that has been carrying passengers for over 100 years. This is just the beginning. Fun at the Wharf also includes Alcatraz tours, Ghiradelli Square, Aquarium of the Bay, Angel Island, San Francisco Bay cruises, and much, much more!

Its no wonder that Fisherman’s Wharf is San Francisco’s number one destination. If you want to be active, rent a bike to take you up and down our hills or try sport fishing on the Bay. Want to learn about San Francisco, its life and history? Visit the Maritime Museum for interesting exhibits and seafaring artifacts or play some of the turn of the century (that’s 1900, not 2000) games at the Musee Mechanique on Pier 45. Take a deep breath and go down into the depths of the USS Pampanito, an original WWII submarine.  Experience the historically stunning Liberty Ship,  the SS Jerimiah O'Brien, docked right next to the Pampanito.

Don't miss boarding a San Francisco Bay cruise that tours around Alcatraz, Angel Island and under the Golden Gate Bridge. And, of course, enjoy our local seafood specialties at Fisherman's Wharf's famous restaurants and sidewalk cafes. Don't forget the many shopping options at the numerous specialty stores.
