Training lot is located across the street from the Japanese Tea Garden in the paved area directly behind the Sprekels Temple of Music (band stage) in the Golden Gate Park Music Concourse area. Area is not visible until you are behind the Bandshell (stage).

This activity will end right where it started.
Learn about Golden Gate Park and see its major attractions in an easy yet adventurous way. On this San Francisco Segway tour, you’ll cover more ground than you would on foot but still enjoy being outside.

Start by meeting your guide and participating in a 35- to 45-minute practice session to get used to your Segway, which most riders find to be very intuitive. Then set off, gliding through the park with your guide, who will tell you about the history of the park, such as how it went from uninhabited sand dunes in the 1870s to a well-planned city gathering space that’s home to museums, lakes, gardens and more. Spot sights like the Shakespeare Garden, the lawn bowling courts, the Conservatory of Flowers, Stow Lake and two impressive museums—the California Academy of Sciences and the de Young, a fine arts museum.

Cruise past Lily Pond, a pioneer log cabin, a grove of redwood trees and other lesser-known highlights, and make plenty of stops to take photos of this 1,000-acre (405-hectare) sanctuary that spreads from the middle of the city to Ocean Beach. Your tour ends with return to the starting point in the park.

Best way to see Golden Gate Park

This was SOOOOOO much fun! There’s no way we would have seen the many different gardens and historical places without charming Zack’s guidance and comfortable discussion. His knowledge of the park’s hidden gems, beautiful plants and significant places really added to a fantastic Segway ride. The Segway training, help and monitoring for safe use by Zack were all perfectly timed and encouraging. This was my 4th time on a Segway and every time I do it (years and places far apart so I forget each time), I leave thinking: why would I ever walk again if I could Segway?! It’s soooo much fun!

We had a great time! It was our first time riding a Segway and after their very thorough instruction, it was incredibly easy and fun! The tour was nothing short of amazing. Coming from Nevada, where everything is brown, we loved the lush landscape. Our tour guide Zach was fun, kind and very knowledgeable.

I was visiting San Francisco with 2 of my teenage daughters. Last-minute I decided to book the Segway tour so they could see Golden Gate Park. Jeff was a great tour guide! We had so much fun and learned so much about the Park. One of the highlights of our short trip. We definitely recommend this tour.
