Mother’s Day is just around the corner so it’s important to start planning a special day for the one woman in your life who couldn’t deserve it more. There are plenty of great places to visit, dine in and enjoy around the city. Whether Mom is a foodie, loves the arts, or is up for an adventure that day, we have everything you need to make sure you have a wonderful experience together. After all, this day is about showing her how much you love and appreciate everything she does for you year round.  

Hornblower Cruise

The perfect way to show your mother how much you care is a cruise around the Bay. San Francisco is all about life on the water and the Hornblower experience is a great way to see the sights, eat some amazing food and spend the day with the whole family. This year for Mother’s Day they will be hosting a Champagne Brunch Cruise aboard the San Francisco Belle. A two-hour cruise takes place from 12:00 p.m.-2:00 p.m. and features a huge brunch buffet, all you can drink champagne and mimosas, a DJ, and more! Bring the whole family and enjoy a perfect day out at sea.

SF Ballet

Whether or not Mom is a ballet lover, she will definitely appreciate and be blown away by the performances here at the San Francisco Ballet Company. On Mother’s Day, Pushkin’s novel, Eugene Onegin, will come to life as they bring the story to audiences through their beautiful dancing. You don’t have to be familiar with the story to fall in love with the beauty and art that will be displayed across the stage. The performance is at 2:00 p.m. so that leaves plenty of time to grab drinks and dinner afterwards at any of the restaurants right in the neighborhood. Just make sure to make reservations in advance and you’ll be sure to impress Mom with an exquisite, cultured day she deserves.
