Historic Sites

When it comes to historic attractions, look no further than San Francisco Zoo & Gardens. The timeless charm of the hand-carved carousel; the little engine that originated in 1905 still thrilling youngsters decades later. SF Zoo remains a treasure trove of San Francisco history, as generations of families share collective memories of days gone by.
