This is a great free place to go for an hour. You see some history of San Francisco, get to see the machines that make the system work, and after that you are in Chinatown, so can get some awesome food nearby.

Such a beautiful park located right on San Francisco Bay. I always want to watch a homer fly into the water. If you’re here you’ve got to try the Gilroy Garlic Fries. There is nothing like them anywhere else. Warning: they've got some kick!
Stopping at the overlooks on both sides of the bridge is always fun and awe-inspiring! Then, drop down to Sausalito for a nice lunch on the Bay, gelato afterwards, and then onwards with the road trip...
If your hungry, super cheap and fast, two hotdogs, and a papaya drink (or whatever flavor you want) for about 3-4 dollars! Some have closed so make sure you check before you go. Or, Chris and myself love eating street cart food yum!
