The de Young Museum in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park is ( in my opinion) a tourist attraction that you should put on your “ must visit” list. Whenever we plan a trip to San Francisco, we include a visit to this spectacular museum. Today in addition to paying for our general admission, we paid extra to see the Irving Penn exhibition, which was well worth the price! The museum has some very classy features including an observation deck with phenomenal views of the park and the city of San Francisco. They have a great cafe with delicious menus and all of their restrooms have fresh flowers, which adds wonderful fragrances while washing your hands!

Unfortunately, I was unable to go to my event because I was sick. That wasn't TripAdvisor's fault. The problem occurred when I tried to cancel my event. I was able to do that up to 24 hours before the event. However, because I had bought the tickets as a guest (I didn't realize that I had an account) TripAdvisor did not have a way for me to cancel. I tried going through the Museum but they did not recognize either of the confirmation numbers that were provided. If I had signed in prior to purchasing the tickets presumably, I would have been able to cancel through my account. I say presumably because there is no way for me to know whether that's true. However, regardless of how I made the purchase, I should have had some way to cancel. Not a whole lot of money but it ended up being wasted none the less. So, No, it was not a good experience.

Museum was great but Tuesday was a free day at the museum. First Tuesday of the month is free admission. We paid admission through this site and feel like we were taken advantage of so we paid for the museum of a free day no refund option.
