They're an old-fashioned mode of transportation kept alive by the public's enthusiasm for the experience.\n\nThe turnaround at Bay and Taylor, just up from Fisherman's Wharf, usually has the shortest lines, but also the least exciting surroundings to wait in. If you're also going to take a walk on Lombard Street (the \"most crooked\" street), take the Powell-Hyde line and get off at Lombard. It will save you a long walk up a steep hill. Otherwise, think about catching the cable car on California Street near the Ferry Building, for a short wait and a thrilling uphill climb that can take you to Chinatown.\n\nThe San Francisco cable cars are a unique and iconic way to get around. Standing on the sideboards, holding on as you go down the hills is at least as much fun as a mild roller coaster. On the downside, the lines to get on can be quite long, and the cars get crowded. They may not be a good choice for families with strollers or very active little ones."},{"metadata":{"width":1000,"height":667},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FXWabfc4HxIn6nOu7FxHs%2FSJM-L-CLOCABLE-0803-10.jpg?alt=media&token=a4c8a338-c07e-4b4d-a1d5-9056827bdd82"},{"type":"text","content":"Fares for the Cable car are: Adult & Youth (ages 5-17) $6.00 each way. $3 for seniors or those with disabilities.

There's also a double-decker Venetian carousel in the center of the complex, frequent free performances that kids love on the stage near the end of the pier and the Aquarium of the Bay, a unique, walk-through underwater attraction. On the west side of the complex, you'll find where the California sea lions hang out.\n\nSan Francisco has great street performers, and most kids love to watch them. You'll find some of the best of them between Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf.\n\nChildren (and the adults) enjoy watching the sea lions who have taken over the small marina beside the pier. It's a good place to get a bite to eat and when the kids are ready to \"go,\" Pier 39 has free public restrooms.\n\nOn the downside, Pier 39 gets very crowded and noisy, especially during the summer, making it hard to navigate with active kids and strollers. Some people think Pier 39 is a tourist trap and according to the official definition, it probably is, created with the aim of attracting tourists and offering overpriced goods and services. This may be more of a turn-off to adults than to the kids, who tend to care less about such things than they do about having fun."},{"metadata":{"width":564,"height":1147},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FXWabfc4HxIn6nOu7FxHs%2F90396a0bb1f4421035d2027a0764a8d3.jpg?alt=media&token=bcc33111-7d7f-4df0-8e3b-f741103aff7d"},{"metadata":{"width":1000,"height":1333},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FXWabfc4HxIn6nOu7FxHs%2FSanFran39.jpg?alt=media&token=99e67c8e-0221-4f68-a9f8-26627d108752"},{"metadata":{"width":576,"height":1024},"type":"video","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FXWabfc4HxIn6nOu7FxHs%2FSnaptik_6997845590998617349_jose-ortez-jr.mp4?alt=media&token=27943b61-e89d-4123-a801-2d33927b5e9f"}]},{"address":"Ghirardelli Square","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.10234184804510059,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":37.80632846232085,"longitude":-122.42249829999999},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# Ghirardelli Square\n\nNear Fisherman's Wharf, this popular spot formerly a 3-story chocolate factory now houses shops and restaurants"},{"type":"link","content":"https://www.ghirardellisq.com/"},{"metadata":{"width":745,"height":304},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FXWabfc4HxIn6nOu7FxHs%2FHP_RR_Ghirardelli_Square.jpg?alt=media&token=c976156e-436e-4e15-87ca-3fe0577d738b"}]},{"address":"Lombard Street","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.10234184804510059,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":37.80099951231843,"longitude":-122.4267278},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# Lombard Street"},{"metadata":{"width":563,"height":744},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FXWabfc4HxIn6nOu7FxHs%2Fe878004fdf9eae781b4533b635e61ab9.jpg?alt=media&token=ab6baae9-1d53-4e80-a37a-f6ef96d9856d"},{"metadata":{"width":576,"height":1024},"type":"video","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FXWabfc4HxIn6nOu7FxHs%2FSnaptik_6855845622730263813_nathan-wilde.mp4?alt=media&token=2905c552-6873-4c14-9b79-1bed7f2b5b8a"}]}]
