We loved the Pier. The atmosphere was fun and surprises around every corner. The entertainment outside was top notch, the food was great. The aquarium was well worth the small fee and my kids loved it. We rented a 'family" bike and rode around the bay area which was one of our favorite activities for the entire week. We took a free ...
The pier is a beautiful place to kickback not to mention thier is varity of poeple to party or club with. As for the prices you're paying for something that you didn't have at home in the first place it's call a trip be resonable! Have fun when you come here and stop down playing my city. Hope you enjoy
This attraction was a complete waste of time. There are a few souvenir shops on the inside, with one or two beachwear stores and a jewelry store. There is a small aquarium on the second floor that charges an entrance fee. We did not go in because it do not look like it was anything worth spending $$ on. The highlight of this attraction was ...

Columbia Restaurant - Great Place to Watch Planes & Boats
I second the suggestion to eat at the Columbia Restaurant...it's such a fabulous view! The 1905 Salad is unlike any other. You'll crave it long after you return home.

Not that great
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/06/06
Long walk on a nice day, but tourist trappish. Columbia restaurant and rooftop mexican restaurant were fine. Looks better from a distance! Free shuttles help - stick with Bay Front for more to do.
This place well it wasn't really all that great. It was a long walk for a couple of shops. The "Aquarium" was really really not that great. But you do get what you pay for, I only paid a $1 for two people. Not the place for a young couple looking for fun things to do.
