Signature place of San Francisco. Let's enjoy the sun and sea lions!!
Ava RodgersOctober 5, 2014It's $9 an hour to park in the lot, make sure you validate...you'll get an hour or 2 off.
Ashley MillerMarch 13, 2015Touristy touristy touristy. Fun the first time, then if you're a local, you avoid it at all costs.
Tyler BonillaMarch 19, 2011I loved how when we were there we caught the naked bicycling group. Wow! Fun times. The walk down Fisherman's Wharf is a tourists dream come true.
Les SimarFebruary 8, 2015Skip it. Don't go just because someone told you "you can't miss seeing the sea lions." There are so many better things to see and do in the city.
Sarah W.September 14, 2011Sea lions! A little cheesy and touristy but I enjoyed walking around this pier
Very touristy, but fun! Something fun for kids and adults
Prime space for people watching. There are Tourists galore!
Drew SharpeApril 26, 2010There is a lot going on here. I recommend stopping and browsing through... Dont forget to see the Sea Lions

Christina CastillejoJanuary 31, 2010New Year's was not the same at this place; was disappointed with the lack of things to do without a ticket. BUT it is great to visit during the day to buy and try things!
Adriana KevillSeptember 3, 2011After visiting Pier 39, check out the Wax Museum a couple blocks away - it's another SF must-do.
Nick CoccoMay 26, 2010Walking down the pier line is a good way to see things in San Fran and the Street Performers are amazing.
- NabeelJuly 1, 2011Check out the pics of famous people at the Lefty Store. Ned Flanders beats them all.
