Its a busy area but we didnt feel any threats while we were there. As always protect your valuables.

39 is in San Francisco my friend not in LA

We saw them at 10am, but right outside pier 39 there are floating piers just for them. I believe they come and go all day

Yes everything stays open.

I Recommend using public transport on in San Fran or Lyft . It’s too expensive to park anywhere .

Service animals (as defined in the Americans with Disabilities Act regulations) are allowed on Alcatraz Island and on Pier 33 Alcatraz Landing. Pets or companion animals are not allowed in either location.

We went and didn’t spend any money. It all seemed cheap and gimmicky.

Sorry to hear about your situation. It happens everywhere not just in the United States. I recently was there and had all my bags inside my suv, but I am always watching my surrounding and making sure no one could see what was in my vehicle while we were grabbing our coats from the back.

I am sorry that your experience was so bad in San Francisco, but please don't believe that America is Crime riddled or dirty just because one of our tourist areas is. Near any high-tourism area in the world the same can be true. The area around high traffic tourist attractions does not reflect the rest of an area. I truly am sorry that you had a negative experience though.

For the hop on and hop off bus, you have to go to the counter and redeem the voucher with them directly. And the same with what ever your voucher or deal offers, take copies with you if possible
