The Golden Gate Bridge is great. Take a coat no matter the weather. When
I took my parents (who were from Minnesota), they could not believe how
cold it was.
The Presidio is great, and if you're hungry there are a lot of great
places to eat in Sausalito (north end of bridge).
There are wineries in all corners of the Bay Area. There are six of them
near our house.

If any of them have never seen the Golden Gate Bridge, it’s still one

Looks good on Steve’s poop map, although there’s probably seagull
poop. I seem to remember there’s an old fort called the Presidio at
the south end, is that a tourist attraction? North across the bridge
is wine country.
Where did Jimmy Stewart rescue Kim Novak in Vertigo?

There is a Ghirardelli factory/shop near fisherman's wharf; not
more than a block or two walk IIRC (but it's been a while since I
went there).
There's also fisherman's wharf and Pier 39 (not 49 if I remember
correctly).
As mentioned there is the Exploratorium, Steinhart Aquarium, Cal
Academy, and Muir Woods to name just a handful of the big ones,
but there are probably a couple dozen in and around the city. If
you haven't done it, taking one of the ferry rides around the bay
is a real treat; especially for someone who has never been there.
In the south bay, there is Great America, the computer history
museum, and Tech Interactive.
I do like the Monterey Bay Aquarium, but I haven't been there in a
while.

I'm not Bill, but I do have some recommendations based on my
semi-frequent visits...
First of all, don't forget to find a good, authentic mission
style burrito somewhere along the way. If I find a specific
place next weekend when I'm down there, I'll let you know.
Santa Cruz is where I always think when I think about Northern
California Beach with amusement park.
There's an old time coin operated arcade/museum near pier 49
in San Francisco. My visits to that part of the world almost
always contains a Boudin sourdough bread bowl with clam
chowder in it from the Boudin bakery and then a walk over to
the arcade, and then a walk over to the end of pier 49 to see
the sea lions.
Closer to the bay Bridge is the explotatorium which is a great
science museum on one of the other piers. I usually try to
arrange my visits for the adult only evenings but that won't
apply for you.
If I'm relying on public transportation (or just want the
experience) you can take a cable car from mission and market
up over the hill and down to basically the Boudin bakery.
Then there are old time trolleys which service the route along
the piers so I've been known to use the trolley to go from
pier 49 to the exploratorium.
Both myself and my wife were disappointed by the Monterey Bay
aquarium, as in the one in the Salt Lake Valley might be
better. Different critters, obviously and the Monterey bay
aquarium has been around for quite some time. I'm sure this
is because of how many aquariums and similar we've visited and
that our expectations were higher than reality because of the
reputation. I'm not saying don't go, just expect a smaller
aquarium.

Planning a 3 day largely unstructured excursion around the
bay area with grand children and their DNA donors.
Day 1 Computer Museum, Winchester House then thinking of
heading toward Monterey for the clam chowder samples and
perhaps the aquarium. This might stretch into the second
day. Is there an amusement part in Half Moon Bay? I seem
to remember some touristy stuff there.
Then downtown SF, street cars, wharf with navy vessels and
Bubba Gump shrimp, perhaps Alcatraz.
Then ??? and home.
