- Theo RadioSeptember 24, 2016best view in town! don;t bother going up the tower though, nothing really special there.
- Lauren CunninghamNovember 8, 2013Take the Muni (the 39) to the top of the hill. Way more convenient than the stairs.
- Reginald PointdujourFebruary 18, 2015You've gotta spend the 8 bucks and go up the elevator. It's a good view of the bay!
- Larry J. OdomOctober 10, 2015Always want to go , because of some movies that was made here and I can say that been there done that
- JayJanuary 4, 2015$8.00 for the elevator up. If someone says the stairs up are free...well there are stairs but just for the staff for emergency purposes.
- Joan AtkinsSeptember 21, 2012Very limited parking available so utilize the SF Muni system. #39 picks up at Pier 39 and takes you straight there. $2 for the ride up!
- Kylie FJune 24, 2013Make sure you buy your admission ticket from the gift shop BEFORE you line up for the lift!
- Mick MonNovember 8, 2016Amazing views but you'll get stuck behind old people taking the first ever panorama picture.
- Paula FosterFebruary 28, 2011I think "coin tower" is a more appropriate name, since the best part is to check the coins left from all over the world. ;b the view there is amazing..
- Leave on foot via Filbert St so you can catch an amazing view of the city through the chain link fence...uber-photogenic.
- Joe TrustyDecember 28, 2011Worth the march up the hill. Best view of the city. Rude Chinese vendors though. You'd think for $7 a ticket they'd be a bit more polite.
- Savannah BellJuly 30, 2014You can't get tickets to the top if the tower after 530 pm. Schedule your hike accordingly.
- Amanda LongNovember 21, 2013Currently under construction. Can't go inside. View from the hill is still great though.
- Always crowded during the day no matter what season. Go on a clear day.
- Rax LakhaniNovember 16, 2011The walk to the tower is a killer but worth every step when you catch the views from up top...
- Boon KohOctober 18, 2013Windows are all glasses up at the top, so difficult to take great pictures with an SLR
- DevonNovember 14, 2011Walk up the steps from Levi Plaza for some exercise and a gorgeous hike along some private gardens.
- Gabe SumnerJanuary 3, 2016Nice hike up, but unless you go up the tower the views are mostly blocked by the surrounding trees. Very touristy.

- Marco TimpanoJanuary 29, 2013This place was neat. Go on a Monday and you'll find free parking. Restrooms are a bit gross but overall cool.
- Lisa Harper CarterApril 1, 2016Do it the right way and walk up the Greenwich or Filbert St steps. ;)
- Ruben MarquezSeptember 5, 2014Take the 39 bus if traveling with strollers. Its either that or the street..
- BUM SQUAD DJZ WORLDWIDENovember 14, 2011When you are in SF you need to come here & check out the view of the city... Most Amazing!
- DavidApril 11, 2017Nice to look at from afar, but going to the top is rather overrated. Go to Twin Peaks instead: Better view over the city, no entrance fees and no waiting queue.
- Nino Di CaraNovember 10, 2012Rory O'Connor is an outstanding guide of the frescos - try to get him on the Sat 11am tours
- Saulius PačekajusJuly 17, 2013So not worth going up the tower - long queues, and you can't even take a good picture up there, only through glass windows. Better enjoy the views from the hill.
- Brandi LeeJuly 9, 2011I was satisfied with the view from the top of the stairs at the base of the tower. You might be too!
