Pier 39

The Pier 39 is a shopping center and a popular tourist attraction built on a pier in San Francisco, California, United States. At this area, there are shops, restaurants, the Aquarium of the Bay, virtual 3D rides, a video arcade, street performances, and views of California sea lions hauled out on docks on Pier 39's marina.

One of the pier's more dominant features is a two-story carousel, although it isn't directly visible from the street and sits towards the end of the pier. The family-oriented entertainment and presence of marine mammals make this location very popular for tourists.
