Golden Gate Park Segway Tour - Easy to learn then 2.5 hours of gliding fun

Overview

Hop on an eco-friendly Segway for a convenient tour of San Francisco's Golden Gate Park! You'll see all 1,000-plus acres of the park as you learn the rich history of this majestic San Francisco green space on a narrated journey. This unique tour is the perfect way to see Golden Gate Park and its hidden gems.

Riding a Segway is similar to riding a bike. It's intuitive, but nobody is born knowing how to operate it.

You will practice on the Segway until everyone feels comfortable and ready to tour Golden Gate Park!
