Top 5 Fun Activities & Games in Chinatown, California (CA)
Every neighborhood in San Francisco has its own personality, from the hippie chic of the Upper Haight to the hipster grit of the Mission. The Marina district boasts trendy bistros and postcard-perfect views of the Golden Gate Bridge, while Noe Valley offers quaint and quiet boutiques. Wave hello to the sea lions at Pier 39, and sample local cheese and charcuterie at the Ferry Building. Sit in on a yoga session in Dolores Park or marvel at the Dutch Windmill across from Ocean Beach.

We came here as a team building event for work, and we split ourselves into two groups doing two different escape rooms. My group was assigned the Space Bus, and the other group was assigned to the Blind Tiger Bar. We walked to the Space Bus, which was a converted school bus parked about a block away. The actual room is quite immersive, as they tried to make inside of the bus to look like a spaceship. Plenty of sounds and lighting to make the environment more captivating. Unlike other escape rooms, the game master, Android Ron, was in the room with us, and he was a great host! He was in character, provided timely status updates, and when asked, provided enough hints to push us along. He gave a great overview in the end about all the puzzles and different thing he had noticed. Overall, the experience was awesome! A side note: bring a jacket, as it can get chilly inside the bus.

It's a fine space, with greenery, trees and some appealing historical statuary and plaques. It was closest to where ships carrying Chinese docked around the mid 1800s. They made their way here and secured lodgings around the square. Thus the beginning of Chinatown in the city. An impressive sculpture called the Goddess of Democracy holds the flame of freedom aloft. A charming stone art work commemorates the first Californian school that opened in 1848. Robert Louis Stevenson is remembered with a grand sculpture of a sailing ship plus aphorisms from his oeuvre. In 1846 the US wanted California as a state. In July of that year the American flag was raised by Commander Montgomery from the USS Portsmouth to assert US authority over the territory. Hence the naming of square in honour of this historical event.
