The San Francisco Railway Museum makes a great special event venue for groups up to 45 people. The museum is located at 77 Steuart St, just a half-block away from the Ferry Building, right on the F-Market & Wharves vintage streetcar line, providing unique atmosphere as the electric streetcars glide by (quietly!) every few minutes .
It’s a great venue for groups of all ages, during days and hours the museum is not open to the public. Kids’ parties, adult cocktail hours with hors d’oeuvres, group meetings in an upbeat atmosphere, and more. We can give you tips on how to enjoy a heritage streetcar or cable car ride in conjunction with your rental.
