Book Review: Free San Francisco

Free San FranciscoIn today's economy, families are always looking for ways to maximize their budgets without skimping on the fun. That's why a resource like Free San Francisco: The Ultimate Free Fun Guide to the Bay Area (Corley Publications, 326 pages, $15.95) is a great thing to have around. While it's small enough to fit into a coat pocket, purse, or backpack, this pocket guide is filled with over 400 things for families to do all over the Bay Area without breaking the bank.

The book's sections cover the city of San Francisco itself, Bay Area venues ranging from art museums and galleries to nature centers and zoos to parks and historic sites, free activities like art walks, hikes, bike rides, concerts, and film screenings, and a roster of free or almost-free Bay Area events for every month of the year. It's a lot of fun to read to discover a new place to go or activity to do, and it's indespensible when out-of-town guests make an appearance.

To make your pursuit of family fun even easier, the Free S.F. guide includes tips on kid-friendly places and venues, parking, and public transportation. It even includes Thomas Guide map coordinates to make finding your way around a breeze.

You'll definitely be amazed that there are so many free or inexpensive things to do right in our own backyard. You can find Free San Francisco at local book stores, or of course order it at Amazon.com, where it's only $12.44.

Great book!

I bought this book at Costco and it's great. Full of great, free things to do. I can always use help figuring out an activity for the day! I was glad to see it here.
