A reader emailed me yesterday asking for a suggestion of something fun to do with kids visiting from outside of Marin County. The kids ranged from 9 to 13.
I suggested catching the Larkspur Ferry and taking it to the SF Ferry building. It is a fun 
place to explore. Follow your explorations with dinner at Taylor’s Refreshers– think yummy milk shakes, burgers, etc. (I personally love their sweet potato fries- YUM!) It is not your average burger joint- the menu features a wide variety of choices and adult beverages as well.
If you wanted to go further in to San Francisco, you can easily catch the trolley just outside the ferry building and head over to Pier 39 and Fisherman’s Wharf.
This adventure is great for kids of all ages and is really good at any time of day as well. The Ferry Building features a farmer’s market on Tuesdays ( 10am-2pm) and Saturdays (8am-2pm) as well.
Simple, inexpensive and fun (even for Marin locals!)
