San Francisco Zoo & Children’s Zoo

Sunday, April 22nd, 2012


Located between the Pacific Ocean and Lake Merced, in the southwest corner of the city, the San Francisco Zoo is a fun place to take the kids- especially if you make it to the hands-on Children’s Zoo. The zoo, which was founded at its present site adjacent to the ocean in 1929, is 125 acres, with 80 acres currently developed. Over 850,000 visitors come here annually to see the almost 1,000 mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. Exhibit highlights include the new Lipman Family Lemur Forest, a forest setting for five endangered species of lemurs from Madagascar that features interactive components for the visitor; Gorilla World, a tranquil setting for a family group of western lowland gorillas; Koala Crossing, which connects to the Australian WalkAbout exhibit with its kangaroos, wallaroos, and emu; Penguin Island, home to a large breeding colony sanctuary and breeding facility for endangered snow leopards and other small cats; and the Primate Discovery Center, home to rare and endangered monkeys and prosimians. Lorikeet Landing allows visitors to feed nectar to these colorful birds from Australia. In the South American Tropical Forest building, a large green anaconda can be  found as well as other South American reptile and bird species. Puente al Sur (Bridge to the South) has a pair of giant anteaters, a rare Baird’s tapir, and capybaras. The Lion House is home to rare Sumatran and Siberian tigers and African lions. You can see the big cats fed every day at 2pm (except Mon).

The 6-acre Children’s Zoo offers kids and their families opportunities for close-up encounters with domestic rare breeds of goats, sheep, ponies, and horses in the Family Farm.

San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (MOMA)

Saturday, April 21st, 2012


Swiss architect Mario Botta, in association with Hellmuth, Obata, and Kassabaum, designed the $62-million museum, which has made SoMa one of the morepopular areas to visit, for tourists and residents alike. The museum’s permanent collection consists of more than 15,000 works, including close to 5,000 paintings and sculptures by artists such as Henri Matisse, Jackson Pollock, and Willem de Kooning. Other represented are Diego Rivera, Georgia O’Keeffe, Paul Klee, the Fauvists, and exceptional holdings of Richard Diebenkorn. MOMA was one of the first museums to recognize photography as a majo art form; its extensive collection includes more than 9,000 photographs by such notables as Ansel Adams, Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Weston, and Henri Cartier-Bresson. Unfortunately, few works are on display at one time, and for the money the experience can be disappointing. Docent-led tours take place daily. Times are posted at the admission desk. Phone for current details of upcoming special events and exhibitions or check MOMA’s website.

The Caffe Museo, to the right of the museum entrance, offers good-quality fresh soups, sandwiches, and salads.

No matter what, don’t miss the MuseumStore, which carries a wonderful array of architectural gifts, books, and trinkets. It’s one of the best shops in town.

San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park

Friday, April 20th, 2012


Shaped like an Art Deco ship, the Maritime Museum is filled with sailing, whaling, and fishing lore. Remarkably good exhibits include intricate model craft and scrimshaw. The collection of shipwreck photographs and historic marine scenes includes an 1851 snapshot of hundreds of abandoned ships, deserted en masse by crews dashing off to participate in the gold rush. Beautifully carved, brightly painted wooden figureheads from old windjammers line the walls. Two blocks east, at the park’s Hyde Street Pier, are several historic ships, now moored and open to the public.

The Balclutha, one of the last surviving square-riggers and the handsomest vessel in San Francisco Bay, was built in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1886 and carried grain from California at a near-record speed of 300 miles a day. The ship is now completely restored. Kids can climb into the bunking quarters, visit the “slop chest” (“galley” to you, matey), and read the sea chanteys (clean ones only) that decorate the walls.

The 1890 Eureka still carries a cargo of nostalgia for San Franciscans. It was the last of 50 paddle-wheel ferries that regularly plied the bay; it made its final trip in 1957. Restored to its original splendor at the height of the ferryboat era, the side-wheeler is loaded with deck cargo, including antique cars and trucks.

The black-hulled, three-masted C.A. Thayer, built in 1895, was crafted for the lumber trade and carried logs felled in the Pacific Northwest to the carpentry shops of California.

Other historic ships docked here include the tiny two-masted Alma, one of last scow schooners to bring hay to the horses of San Francisco; the Hercules, a huge 1907 oceangoing steam tug; and the Eppleton Hall, a side-wheel tugboat built in England in 1914 to operate on London’s River Thames.

At the pier’s small-boat shop, visitors can follow the restoration progress of historic boats from the museum’s collection. It’s behind the maritime bookstore on your right as you approach the ships.

Octagon House

Thursday, April 19th, 2012


This unusual, eight-sided, cupola-topped house of interest to architecture buffs dates from 1861 and is maintained by the National Society of Colonial Dames of America. The architectural features are extraordinary, and from the second floor it is possible to look up into the cupola, which is illuminated at night. In the small museum, you’ll find Early American furniture, portraits, silver, pewter, looking glasses, and English and Chinese ceramics. There are also some historic documents, including signatures of 54 of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence. Even if you’re not able to visit the inside, this strange structure is worth a look.
