Do any of your kids show an interest in art? Whether they love to create it or just take it all in, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art will more than likely inspire some new ideas. Several styles of modern art are featured as the museum regularly rotates its exhibits and attractions. In addition to viewing the art, the kids can actually create some of their own in the various modern art hands-on workshops that are provided on Family Sundays. But be prepared for a good workout, as the museum is an impressive six stories that is topped by a 145-foot skylight tower that the kids will surely want to check out.

At The EndUp, the spirit of celebration goes beyond just having a good time. The overall feel of the establishment is quiet un-establishment, as the nighlife destination continues a 15-year tradition of welcoming everyone in for an excellent time. And by everyone, that means people of every gender, race, and socioeconomic level have a place to feel comfortable without the attitude that can be so prevalent at similar clubs. Excellent DJs spinning your favorite tunes, a crowded dance floor that has a spot waiting for you, an area to chill and shoot a little pool in; these amenities all go to make the EndUp a truly San Franciscan experience!

When you visit San Francisco for the first time, visiting Alcatraz is definitely a must-do. The Rock, as Alcatraz is known locally, was originally a lighthouse and a military out post and prison before becoming a federal prison. The likes of Al Capone, among others, served their time here. The tour takes you from the shore to this ominous island and the guides are all well-informed and always ready to answer your questions. The inherent drama of Alcatraz itself makes it worth seeing, but the added touches and expert treatment by the guides only underscore how essential it is to see this dramatic facility when you are in the Bay Area.
