Three Unusual Attractions in San Francisco
Leroy King Carousel
Constructed in 1906 by master carver and builder Charles I.D. Loof, the Leroy King Carousel was originally intended for installation in San Francisco. In April that year, the great earthquake struck the city with a magnitude of 7.9, and the carousel ended up at Luna Park in Seattle. A fire devasted the entire park in 1911 but spared the carousel, which moved back to San Francisco two years later. After two subsequent moves, the carousel was purchased by the City of San Francisco in 1998. Today, you can find the fully restored carousel at the Children’s Creativity Museum in Yerba Buena Gardens. The carousel’s colorful horses, giraffes, dragons, rams, and gilded chariots delight children of all ages with the playfulness and joyful spirit of the carnival as intended by its master carver.
The Museum of Russian Culture and the Russian Festival
The Museum of Russian Culture in Pacific Heights showcases Russian culture and the lives of notable Americans of Russian descent. The museum focuses on Russian life before the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. The museum also serves as a valuable resource for Russian scholars with rare periodicals from the pre-Revolution era and documents concerning Siberia and the Far East.
Each year for three days, the museum hosts a Russian Festival with food, dance performances, and art. The festival has featured notable performers, such as the Slavyanka Russian Chorus, the San Francisco Balalaika Ensemble, the Konevets quartet from St. Petersburg, renowned Russian folk singer Nikolai Massenkoff, Natalia Borisova’s Russian Collection, Russian Center Dancers, Vladimir Riazantsev, and the Firebird Dance Ensemble.
World-Famous Hot Fudge Sundae at Ghirardelli Square
It is unusual for a hot fudge sundae to be considered as an attraction, but not in San Francisco! Ghirardelli Square is a bustling center with retail shops and restaurants and the original site of a chocolate factory established by Domenico “Domingo” Ghirardelli. Born in 1817 in Rapallo, Italy, Ghirardelli’s world travels would eventually lead him to meet James Lick in Peru. After Lick departed Peru for San Francisco in January 1848 with 600 pounds of chocolate, Ghirardelli decided to join him a year later and opened a general store supplying a variety of goods, including mustard, coffee, spices, and, of course, chocolate. Visit this historical place for the most decadent ice cream and chocolate brownie sundae on the U.S. West Coast.
