Aquariums Part of Golden Gate Park s California Academy of Sciences (see pp22 3), the Steinhart Aquarium is a big hit with kids. The darkened corridors are filled with softly glowing tanks in which some of the weirdest creatures on the planet disport montague west end themselves. Then there s the Touching Tidal Pool if kids want to get up close and personal with their finny friends. At Fisherman s Wharf, UnderWater World gives an even greater undersea experience, with walkthrough transparent tunnels surrounded by sea life (see p13).
^California Coast Explore habitats from salt marshes to turbulent rocky inlets and meet a variety of native birds, fish, and invertebrates. The main tank an exhibit featuring the marine habitats of the Gulf of the Farollones National Marine Sanctuary is 100,000 gallons in capacity, with large viewing montague west end windows, montague west end and a crashing wave surge system.
Clean, quiet and comfortable, but it doesn t get any simpler than this. The advantage is the close proximity to the Castro, Hayes Valley, and the Mission. d 2160 Market St Map F4 (415) 863-2909 No en-suite bathrooms No air conditioning $
