Parks & Nature
A great spot for people watching and laying in the sun. You're almost guaranteed to see some questionable smoke swirls and if you're lucky, you might also get to see a drum circle. Keep in mind: this isn't the most family-friendly section of Golden Gate park.

One of the most picturesque places to visit in Golden Gate Park. There is a fee to enter the building and another fee if you want to visit the butterfly house, but it is 100% worth it.

From the trails at Lands End you will get some of the best views of the Golden Gate bridge. The trails are all completely flat and well maintained. Much less crowded than actually going to the Golden Gate Bridge site.
