Children rule the city! At Family Appreciation Day, which is a smarmy yet accurate name, many superfun things to do are totally free. Kids are very much expected — today, zillions of runts buzz the cultural institutions. It's the kind of event that comes with stern warnings, because it's just that good: Adults are responsible for kid behavior. Kids may not show up without an adult. Adults may not show up without a kid. Someone in the group has to prove residency in San Francisco. And teens — we're watching ya. But after you're done warning yourself, it's a smorgasbord, a literal free-for-all of almost any museum, library, zoo, or carousel you'd want to take kids to any day, a total of 32 venues and attractions.
