There are so many treasures inside of Golden Gate Park…and I recently discovered the peaceful beauty of Shakespeare's Garden tucked quietly next to the Academy of Science. What I love is that it's nearly fully fenced in (aside from the entrance gate) and it has a large grass lawn to have a nice picnic, run around, blow bubbles and enjoy a tucked away setting.

Bunny Cafe — such a fun find! Kids can sit and pet rescue rabbits. We went once and my kids absolutely loved it. You can have a drink too 🐰

The Cal Academy of Sciences. My kids love the Cal Academy and they frequently change their exhibits so the kids are always learning something new.

Indoor playgrounds - we are huge fans of WOW Kids Playground on Polk St (Russian Hill) and Peek-a-Boo Factory SF on Geary (Richmond). These are great places to drop-in and get wiggles out, especially on a foggy, windy, or cold day. Great for all ages, up to upper elementary students.

My kids are doing tennis at Bay Club — Gateway location this summer and loving it. The coaches are patient and really know how to teach beginners.

Our 3 yr old is enjoying ballet class at Tutu school west portal. They teach the steps in a fun way that a 3 yr old can understand/relate to. Parents can sit and watch their kid learn, and it is fun to see the kids learn and enjoy ballet. We look forward to ballet class every week! Definitely recommend Tutu school for ballet!!

My daughter went to Presidio Golf camp this summer and absolutely loved it! She raved about the professional instructors, various golf areas on the course she learned to play on, technique, etiquette and of course the delicious golf cafe for lunch!

Huge fans of the camps at Calvary Nursery School for ages 2.5 to 6. Open to the public and have different themes every week. We also love Canvas dance camps, which are fun and engaging.

PREP on Sacramento is great for kids -- has tablets for kids to watch a show while they get their haircuts and popcorn as a treat afterwards! It's a little expensive, which is good to know in advance.

YMCA in the Presidio offers childcare while parents work out, as long as you're a member.

Depends on the number of children you have — the Uppababy Vista is the SUV of strollers and works well with multiples, but can get heavy. It fits everything though. We are also huge fans of the Babyzen YoYo which is light and foldable, and easy to push. Great for one kid! Doona is a nice option if you need something for an infant under 2 years old that can pop in and out of a car or taxi.

Cooper Grossup from First Principles Music has been such a find. He visits at home and is patient, warm with the kids, and somehow makes practice feel like a game rather than homework.

Since my oldest two kids have reached elementary school and bike riding age, we are major fans of the Woom bikes. From balance bikes to full fledged bicycles, these bikes are amazing for teaching kids to ride bikes. They are lightweight, have a great colors, and are easy to set up for parents. Highly recommend!
