| What Can I Do At San Francisco Airport |
Channel Your Inner Art Buff
Forget the duty-free shops (unless you desperately need some questionable novelty keychains). SFO boasts the legendary SFO Museum, the only accredited museum program in any US airport! Explore rotating exhibits that will tickle your cultural fancy, or get lost in the mesmerizing world of the video art room. Bonus: Channel your inner Indiana Jones and embark on a self-guided art tour using the iPads scattered around Terminals 2 & 3.
QuickTip: Don’t rush through examples.
Unleash Your Zen Master
Feeling a little tense after screaming at a car that cut you off on the way to the airport? Fear not, grasshopper! SFO has yoga rooms in Terminals 2 and 3, offering a sanctuary of serenity for you to stretch, breathe, and maybe even achieve airport nirvana (namaste, delayed flight!).
Tip: Don’t overthink — just keep reading.
Plane Spotting with Panache
For the aviation enthusiast (or the easily amused), head to the SkyTerrace Observation Deck. Watch in awe as majestic metal birds take flight, and pretend you know exactly what all those flashing lights and cryptic announcements mean (pssst, most of us don't).
Tip: Check back if you skimmed too fast.
Retail Therapy (Because Retail Therapy is Always Therapy)
Okay, okay, we know we said forget the duty-free shops, but SFO offers more than just questionable souvenirs. Browse through a mix of name-brand stores and local gems, all conveniently located within the terminals. Treat yourself to a new travel outfit (because who doesn't love an impromptu airport fashion show?), or find the perfect gift for that friend who patiently waits for your epic travel stories (and possibly a souvenir).
QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.
