The Botanical Gardens are a wonderful place to begin with. There are at least a hundred different plant species to check out in this area and the redwoods here have international acclaim for tourists. You could find some of the oldest trees of America here just when walking around the place.

Another interesting place that’s available for free is the Cable Car Museum. It is a great place to get acquainted with this mode of transport, and it even has some antique cable cars on display.

If you are a music buff, you could find a great free experience in the Golden Gate Park. Here, a band plays free from April to October on every Sunday. This is the Golden Gate Park Band and it is almost a tradition with the city to listen to this band playing.

For tourists that are looking for a tour, they could check up the free tours that City Guides has to offer. There are more than thirty options here and they provide free tours lasting from one and a half to two hours, each with a different theme. It is quite an interesting way to have your family enjoy for free in this abundant city.

Speaking of families, another place that you could take them to is the Farmer’s Market which is set up every Tuesday and Saturday around the Ferry Building. A real fun place to be, and to get some delectable free samples too!
