On a weekday, during the weekend, on your average day and holidays, the Crissy Field Center is the place to be! Most Bay Area-goers know that the Crissy Field Marsh is a wonderful place to go for a peaceful stroll, whether it's with your significant other or with your favorite companion named Fido (or some other generic furry pal name). After that walk under the sun, it's most likely you're going to want to find a nice place to sit and relax, maybe grab a light snack. And the place to do that is at CFC.
With convenient fountains right outside the building, you can drop by for a few or walk in and explore the historical building that has been transformed into an awesome community center. The center is always teeming with energy; from the warm greetings you get from the staff to other visitors eager to learn more about their city and the environment.
There are handfuls of interactive activities located all around the center for parents and kids to try out (for free!) including an awesome map of the marsh that lights up in certain areas when you push different buttons (and it never gets old, trust me). All of the little activities that -will- amuse you will also teach you important facts and issues about the environment that your average every-day person wouldn't know about. It's a win-win situation, really.
Aside from all the little knick-knacks, there is also an organic caf with a selection of food more on the healthy side. Though a little bit pricey, the food is pretty tasty and the proceeds go towards the center's programs and events. (A little tip is that you can get a small discount on drinks if you bring in your own coffee mug/cup! Save money -and- the environment!).
Youth programs, senior programs, art programs, computer programs, cooking programs, almost any type of program you can think is offered at the CFC (for a nominal fee for the type of stuff they teach you). In addition to that, there are community events held year-round at the center, even on holidays that most of the time are free events.
There is so much more to the Crissy Field Center that it'd be impossible to put it all down on paper (pixels rather?). So go on and experience it for yourself. It's awesome; you'll save money, learn a few things and go home feeling good at the end of the day.
