Below the bay, beyond the bay, there's so much I had no idea about before visiting this place. They had microscopic organisms (along with a microscope to see them), and also sand crabs that feed on them as the water brings them to and from the bay. The walls are full of fun facts and stories about sharks and birds and accidentally destroying and cleverly rebuilding ecosystems.
There's so much more to San Francisco that you can learn from here. A must visit, located on a beach right by the Golden Gate bridge.
Beautiful views
Hidden gem!
It's a small place, which won't take longer than half an hour to visit, but it has some good displays about the wildlife and ecosystem of the Farallones, and a small aquarium of local fish. Seems well suited to families with young children.
