Biking Golden Gate Park
Golden Gate Park Tour
Golden Gate Park up close and personal!
Inside the 1000+ acre Golden Gate Park, the opportunities are endless. Come see why our city’s cyclists love this park on a guided bike tour of the area. You’ll see the beautiful Conservatory of Flowers, Arboretum/Botanical Gardens, Shakespeare Garden and Japanese Tea Gardens. Our tours circle around Stow Lake for a view of Strawberry Hill and even dive into some of the area’s haunted ghost history! We’ll pedal past the park to the sprawling Ocean Beach, where you’ll see the city’s oceanfront bike path and the sweeping sand dunes littered with surfers. On the way back, we’ll pass Bison paddock, Spreckels Lake and more. At the tours end, you can complete the day by visiting our closest neighbors, California Academy of Sciences and the DeYoung – two world class museums.
