This is a must if you are in town for a visit. The grounds were beautiful. There was ample parking and Uber was easy to get as well. There are bathrooms on site as well as a gift shop. The tickets were reasonable $7.00-$10.00. The line went quick to get up to the top and the views were amazing!

Great view of SF from the top! It's $10/ person to go up to top. You may have to wait in line for a bit but it goes pretty fast. You take an elevator to the top and back down with a max of 6 people. We were staying at Hilton financial district top floor so also had a great view of the different colors at night.

Finally went to the top of Coit Tower. Great views! Was only $10 to ride elevator to the top level. The gift shop had the magnet I was hoping to add to my collection. We went on Tuesday, not crowded, plenty of parking available. Staff was very friendly, and willing to take your picture :)

The views from the top are phenomenal! You can see the whole city. FYI; interest fee is $10. You must wear a mask and have your vaccine shot card. The elevator attendant was just a cupcake!!! She makes you feel so welcome. As she's going up the elevator with you.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

It costs $10 to go up at the top of the tower but It's free to visit the gallery. There are binoculars where you can put 25 cents and look through. But due to the high trees its not a good view anymore from those binoculars.

No charge for parking...just the meters. Right next to the towers. You will have to pay the elevator fee for going to the top of the tower. Well worth it.

Can I reserve a spot for July 4th, 2018 to view the fireworks?

Anna Botiller | Aug 20, 2018
Jenny Lee | Aug 20, 2018

I would get to the embarcadero area early and park along the street which may be free after 7pm. Then hike up. Traffic becomes super congested during holiday time. Even using public trans is a good idea. But it is a public access area that may be restricted at times to allow residential parking permit holders first access.

Is the old story true that the design of the tower came about because Ms. Coit had so much respect for the local fire department and the men that worked putting out fires that she insisted the design of the tower have the likeness of a fire hose?

Jayne Deau | Aug 19, 2021
Sheryl Miller | Aug 19, 2021

That is not true... What is true is there were many men and women devoted to this cause which makes it even more worth it and beautiful!

Do you have to pay only the elevator to go up? And apart to enter the museum or is it just the same ticket?

Mirtadac Dac | Aug 20, 2019
Saul Andersen (FoodieCabbie) | Aug 20, 2019

My Spanish is very limited but ... I think it is necessary to pay for the elevator (worth it!) And you can see the murals without a ticket. The museum'? I don't think it's worth it. Or something like that. :)

Jnazband Nazarewicz | Aug 20, 2019

Its ok to smoke weed around here right? I mean the stores sell it up the road. But i didn't think that it was ok at a tourist spot but many said that its fine. I need an ultimate opinion

Uncle Chuckles | Aug 20, 2019
Paul Pavlinovich | Aug 20, 2019

You cannot smoke anything in any SF park so no you can't smoke at Coit.
