Walk Across San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge

Nothing says San Francisco quite like the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, one of the world's longest suspension bridges. Completed in 1937, the 4,200-foot-long, bright orange Golden Gate Bridge spans the San Francisco Bay to Marin County. Discover postcard views of the bridge from Crissy Field and Fort Baker. The Golden Gate Bridge at night is spectacular.

Walk or ride your bike across the bridge and admire the amazing views of the Bay, Alcatraz Island, and Downtown San Francisco. Learn about the engineering and science that went into the bridge's construction through interactive exhibits in the plaza outside the Welcome Center.
