Hi MichaelThere is plenty of parking across the street from the museum. However, the Presidio now charges a fee for parking in this area.

I believe the WDFM is 2nd from the right.Hi MichaelIs parking still free on weekends?
It's $1/hour paid via a day use permit machine. Paying $6 will dispense a permit valid all day.We paid for parking on the street.
Tickets are available at the door, but if you buy them online they will assign you a time on the day you choose. Buying online is better than just showing up, because the museum could be sold out that day.We're planning to go on a Saturday mid sept. Do we need to book?
I guess we should do that then as it's our only real chance/day of doing this. I was hoping to just turn up but it's probably risky for a Saturday. xTickets are available at the door, but if you buy them online they will assign you a time on the day you choose.

Sure there might have been a chance it sold out when it first opened, but these days there's very little chance. The one time we visited we did it on a Travelzoo discount admission where the voucher could only be redeemed at the entrance without reservation. We went on a Sunday and it wasn't anywhere near full.Tickets are available at the door, but if you buy them online they will assign you a time on the day you choose.

The wildfire is at Yosemite, which is many hours away from San Francisco. It should not affect your enjoyment of the museum. Have fun!I hope plans haven't change since the fire near San Francisco.![]()
Nice to see you post over here Andre. When did you go? Do you have a trip report on it?The best view is from the rear window inside the museum, the grounds area is rather blocked by buildings/etc. Wouldn't be too long a walk to head down to the water to get much nicer view though.

I was there in August 2011 (tying in with visiting the D23 Expo) and again last year during our road trip from LA to SF. I'm not so good with trip reports though...Nice to see you post over here Andre. When did you go? Do you have a trip report on it?
