Top San Francisco Desserts & Sweets in 2026

Peek behind the scenes at the California Academy of Sciences with VIP tickets to the Thursday NightLife—an adults-only event that proves museums aren’t just for kids. Sip cocktails and nibble hors d'oeuvres at a private reception, then go inside “The Vault” to see glittering gemstones and prehistoric treasures not on view to the general public. You’ll also take a walk on the wild side with express entry to the Osher Rainforest dome and get starry-eyed during a planetarium show.

Make your afternoon count. In just 2 hours (about 1 mile), hit four of San Francisco’s most crave-worthy ice cream spots in one perfectly paced small-group walk through Hayes Valley and the Fillmore.

Each stop is intentionally different: nostalgic neighborhood legend, chef-driven creativity, handmade gelato texture, and a crowd-favorite closer. It’s built for contrast — not repetition. Between bites, your guide keeps it efficient with quick local context and smart recommendations so you leave full, confident, and knowing exactly where to go next.
