    So much to see and do
    You need more than a day; so much to see and do. See the seals, Alcatraz, good food, souvenirs for everyone, great picture spots. Try to get your souvenirs on the side streets or Chinatown, much cheaper than pier 39. You can take a ferry to islands across the bay and Sausalito.
    You're absolutely right, PIER 39 offers so much to explore and enjoy that it can take more than a day to fully appreciate everything it has to offer. From the seals to Alcatraz, delicious food, and souvenirs, there's something for everyone. Your insights are valuable for those planning a visit! Thank you very much.

    Morning walk at Pier 39
    A to-go place for foreign and local tourist with shops and restaurant to dine, and place to walk around. It’s bit old and needs more up keeping to get better environment to walk around. Suggest to keep this place clean and safe for the tourist. So sad to see people sleeping in the streets. Since it’s a main tourist place, expect pricy goods and crowd.
    Thank you for your review. As San Francisco’s #1 attraction, we pride ourselves in offering our guests a fun and safe experience. We strive to offer one of the most clean and safe environments in the City and on the waterfront.

    To do tourist destination in San Fran
    Great side trip if you are in the downtown SF area, especially when the weather is nice. Unsurprisingly touristy, but still lots of shops, restaurants, and entertainment in the area. Reminds me of Seattle's wharf.
    Absolutely! PIER 39 is indeed a fantastic side trip in downtown San Francisco, offering a vibrant and tourist-friendly environment. The variety of shops, restaurants, and entertainment options create a lively atmosphere, making it a must-visit destination. It's interesting to draw parallels with Seattle's wharf, highlighting the unique charm and character of waterfront areas in different cities. Thank you for your positive review.

    Must do in San Fran
    Good old Pier 39, never disappoints. Have been here several times, although over many years. Not much changes. Always want to see the Sea Lions, although not many here on this visit, but fun to watch and hard to leave. Lots of shops and eateries to while away the time. Also good view of Alcatraz from the end of the pier.
    It's wonderful that Pier 39 holds a consistent charm for you across the years. The enduring appeal of watching the Sea Lions and enjoying the diverse array of shops and eateries speaks to the timeless allure of this iconic San Francisco destination. The glimpse of Alcatraz from the end of the pier adds a historical touch to the experience. Thank you for sharing your enduring enjoyment of PIER 39!

    fun to take in the atmophere
    It is a lot of fun to just walk around and take in the atmosphere. Seeing the sea lions just hanging out was the best part - they were so interesting and made loud honking noises. The pier was crowded, some homeless people begging but overall I did feel safe. Everything is extremely overpriced - a small bottle of water is $4.25 - insane prices. Some free small museums worth a visit.
    Exploring PIER 39 and observing the sea lions can indeed be a fascinating experience. The lively atmosphere, complete with the sea lions' distinctive honks, adds to the unique charm of the pier. It's great that you found some free small museums to explore and that you felt safe.

    A great place to visit
    Had a great time exploring Pier 39. There is an array of shops and food vendors. It has something for everyone there. The area is lovely and clean. A great way to spend a few hours. We visited twice and it was moderately busy both times. A must do if you are in San Francisco. Public transport is nice and close.

    Charming Pier Area
    There is so much to see and do at Pier 39, from shopping, dining, amusements for children, wildlife, sea lions in particular and the pleasant walk along the docks and boardwalks. The ferris wheel was there when I visited, plus there are attractions such as Madame Tussaud and Ripley's Believe it or Not if that is your preference. The area can be very busy at peak times.
    Thank you for your detailed and positive review of PIER 39! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the variety of activities, from shopping and dining to amusements for children. Your mention of the sea lions, the ferris wheel, and nearby attractions is appreciated. We understand that the area can get busy, and we appreciate your understanding. We hope to provide you with more enjoyable experiences on your future visits to PIER 39.

    Enjoyed being here.
    It was a 5 minute walk from our hotel there’s plenty to do and see nice restaurants and some decent shops selling souvenirs (that weren’t tacky) and decent sweatshirts and T-shirts. Good views of the Golden Gate Bridge Bay Bridge and Alcatraz. There was a good saxophone player plus other musicians and plenty of street food available. The sea Lions were a great watch too. Nice and relaxing after the Hustle and Bustle of New York.
    Thank you for sharing your positive experience at PIER 39! It sounds like you had a delightful time enjoying the variety of activities, good restaurants, and quality shops. The presence of talented musicians, street food, and the entertaining sea lions added to the overall charm. We're glad you found it to be a nice and relaxing contrast to the hustle and bustle of New York.

    A lively mix of attractions along San Francisco's scenic waterfront
    Visit the colony of California sea lions that lounge on the docks. Prime viewing season is from late July to mid-May when you can expect to see hundreds of these playful marine mammals. A fun and lively spot for all ages, Pier 39 features a festive atmosphere with shops, restaurants, and street performers lining the wooden walkway. Enjoy the views of Alcatraz Island, the Golden Gate Bridge (visible on clear days), and the bustling harbor.
    Thank you for highlighting the attractions at PIER 39! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed observing the colony of California sea lions and soaking in the festive atmosphere with shops, restaurants, and street performers.

    An unforgettable experience of San Francisco!!
    We love visiting Fisherman’s Wharf since it is one of our favorite places to visit in San Francisco. We love walking around the Wharf and having lunch or dinner in one of the restaurants and ice cream in the ice cream shop and watching the sea lions. We have lived in San Francisco Bay Area for over 36 years and can never get tired of visiting Fisherman’s Wharf. It is a very special place and we love to take our guests visiting from overseas there to enjoy this wonderful location and create memories of San Francisco!!

  • Alcatraz Island Hotels
    Alcatraz Island was once the most secure federal prison in the U.S., and held notorious inmates like Al Capone. After being decommissioned in 1963, the prison is now a museum, welcoming millions of curious travelers every year. Catch the ferry on Pier 33 to Alcatraz and explore the island at your own pace as you soak up the views of San Francisco and the bay. You can take a guided tour with a park ranger to learn more about the intriguing anecdotes about the facility’s fascinating history. But book your spots early—tickets sell out fast. – Tripadvisor
