The San Francisco Zoo is a great way to relax and spend the way -- especially for a family or children's activity. The Zoo's location near the ocean makes it cool year-round versus other cities zoos that can be boiling hot. The animals are a good selection -- not world class, but very respectable and easy to see. We recommend the San Francisco Zoo as a family activity for your visit to San Francisco. Allow about four hours to see the zoo fully in a relaxing way.
