This review is from: Fodor's Around San Francisco with Kids, 1st Edition: 68 Great Things to Do Together (Around the City with Kids) (Paperback)

This book is a GREAT resource for families. Not only does it list descriptions of the sites, but also includes; age appropriate guidlines and kid-friendly "eats" for each destination. Many of the suggestions are geared for kids age 3 and up. Quite a few are for kids of all ages. I purchased this to use with my 4 year old, and I am very impressed!
