Its free inside de young museum. Many tourists do not know that. There is a ticket for the museum, not for this observation deck. You can see the most of SF from this deck on a clear day! Make sure to reach there before 4 oclock as it closes at 4:30 pm. They should keep it open in the night hours as well to see the city in night. Would have given 5 stars in that case.

Great views of the city and free! You dont need Museum admission ticket to access the tower.

Highly recommended. Free entrance through inside of de young museum. Beautiful view of San Francisco. So glad I found and enjoyed this secret spot.

Very nice views over parts of the city. Not high enough to see all, but still a must if going to the de Young museum.

Great View of the city from up top

Fantastic views all around if you manage to go on a clear day.

Cool spot with a 360° view. Its best to come on a sunny day so you can actually see it, but its neat to watch the fog roll in, too. Of the 4 times Ive visited here, the tower was closed twice for reasons that were not apparent so I guess you just have to hope that it will be open when you want to check it out. The museum and tower are closed on Mondays as well. It would be cool if they could do something in conjunction with Cal Academys Night Life events and have some open hours after dark.

The Hamon Observation Tower offers a great place to sightsee most of San Francisco. Take a look at the city map and find where you live/stay.

Free and wonderful views of SF.Entrance through a lift inside de Young museum.Fairly small however on a quiet time its easy to get nice shots of the city.If you fancy the art museum, cafe and park (maybe even the beach), this is one of the best tourist spots of he city.

Observation Deck temporarily closed due to Covid, only the museum is open.

Ladies and gentlemen we found em.

What a beautiful view of the city!

Enter through the de Young Museum east (main?) entrance and head straight back to the elevators up to the 9th floor observation deck. From here you will get a great 360 view of San Francisco and part of the Bay for free!

This is an absolute must if youre visiting San Francisco. Its free to enter and the views are spectacular.

Lovely veiws of the park and the city

Free! And a better view from the top than you’d expect.

Its free to go up the tower and you get a really unique view of the city!

Great spot to see the city. Its free too. Dont miss the art by Ruth Asawa near the elevator entrance.

Great views. Could take a good photo of the painted ladies

Great view on the West part of the City.Nice place to make pictures and enjoy views but place could be crowded during seasonPlace is accessible for impaired peopleI would be careful if somebody has epilepsy - shade is made out of metal with holes and while walking it causes blinking light effect which may cause seizures episode

On a good sunny chilly day one can see for miles. The 360 observation deck is great place to view all of SF.

Great 360 view. And its free.

Beautiful and unexpected vistas of much of San Francisco. Also large ariel photo of entire city. Dont miss if you visit the de Young.

What a marvelous view. A must go!

Beautiful views of Golden Gate Park, and you dont have to pay to access this part of the museum.

Gorgeous view of the Richmond districts and the ocean, probably more when its not as foggy

Lovely, on the top of De Young Museum, inside Golden Gate park

Great views of the city! If youre in the area take a ride up!

A san fran must see for the art lover of all styles. Great food in the lil cafe and amazing view from the tower.

Amazing views of San Francisco from a perspective now possible from any other venue

There are other spots in SF offering a much better view of the city. Come here for the museum, not just for the view.
