WE VISIT FREE MUSEUMS, GALLERIES, & POPOS ONLY OPEN ON WEEKDAYS!

Details

This is a Friday Walk, which will allow us to enjoy the free museums, galleries and POPOS that are only open on weekdays. We will not spend time visiting those open on the weekends.

The best POPOS are the ones only open on the weekdays. POPOS stands for Privately Owned Public Open Spaces. It comes from a law requiring that those who build a giant building in SF must put a POPOS in their building's property.

Some of them are boring, but others are spectacular with such things as giant rooftop gardens with great views.

We will gather at the far East end of the top of the Salesforce Terminal, next to the Beale Street Elevator, at 10:30 AM. The top has a beautiful park. At 10:40 AM we start walking,

The only cost for the walk is $5 cash for adults & kids free. I collect the $ at the middle of the walk.

Bring a sack lunch and enough water to drink. We will eat lunch around 12:30 PM.

To find me: I am 6 feet tall, wear a big blue & black hat and have a clipboard.

We will start the walk by visiting these nearby good places that are closed on the weekends: Pier 1, Pier 24 Photography, and the Auto Desk Gallery.

At about 4:00 PM we will officially end at Sansome & Market Street where there is a BART Station. However, I will be walking back to the Salesforce Terminal and everyone there is invited to walk with me.

I advise taking public transportation & not driving to SF because both driving and parking there is usually horrible.

On how to get around the Bay Area on public transportation see below:

Best parking near the Salesforce Terminal that I know of:
Though the validation from the Farmers Market has not returned as it was before COVID giving up to 12 hours parking at Golden Gateway Garage for $3 on weekends. The garage is now open for up to 12 hours parking on weekends for $8.
