    At Least Do This: dont go
    Alternative: walk that area, see the prison from far ...say to yourself "wow....lovely" and continue to walk around there its a really nice area...spend the money in one of the restaurants there or buy winney the pooh underwear at the disney shop...lol...costs the same

     Been here a little while...it's fun, but I do have to agree about the parking and traffic!

     I agree that San Francisco is one of the most beautiful cities in the USA. Nice S.F. page...getting this nostalgic feeling...used to live in California for 6 years.
