The Japanese Tea Garden is perfect for a peaceful day in San Francisco. It’s quaint, so a trip around its winding paths won’t take that long, but the zen experience will stay with you long after you leave. Kids can go off on their own and parents can take a breathe or two to reflect while they stroll through lush flora and vegetation. At the end of your visit, make sure to visit the Tea House for some refreshments. It provides a great view of the Golden Gate Bridge and also has tasty snacks, like mochi.
