In San Francisco, the only real game in town right now are the Giants. But Halloween is here this weekend, so it’s time to put together your favorite outfit (may we suggest Bary Bonds’ head?).
Here are some fun things to do for Halloween fun:
The Exploratorium, Palace of Fine Arts, 3601 Lyon St.
At the Exploratorium’s Tactile Dome, visitors are never quite sure what’s there as they feel their way through twisting passageways, chutes and rooms, guided only by their sense of touch. $17 covers admission to the Tactile Dome and the Exploratorium. For reservations, call 415-561-0362, Monday through Friday, between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Alcatraz Night Tour, Alcatraz Landing, Pier 33
Limited to a few hundred visitors each evening, this tour includes stories and spine-tingling adventures to the dark corners of the island prison. Tickets range from $19.50 to $33. Reservations required. For tour times and ticket information, call 415-981-7625.
Legion of Honor, Lincoln Park, 34th Avenue and Clement Street
The exhibition explores the modern scientific examination of mummies providing new insights into the conditions under which the Egyptians lived, bringing an understanding of who they were. For information, call 415-750-3600.
Halloween Haunt, California’s Great America, Great America Parkway, Santa Clara
Halloween Haunt is an “in your face” scare experience complete with six mazes, four themed scare zones, four live stage shows and one themed attraction plus the park’s collection of thrill rides. Full price admission is $39.99. For information, call 408-988-1776.
