Agreed. SF CityPass is probably one of the few CityPass that is actually worth it.
MAJOR +1 regarding dressing warm. You'd think July is warm at 28C. No. I thought it felt like single digits due to wind chill. I'd imagine March to be even colder.
Bring/buy good walking shoes. You will walk a lot. Gel inserts will help immensely too. Fishermans warf, museum, science centre, aquarium, Legion of Honor, traveling... you won't spend a lot of time sitting.
Haight-Ashbury. I seriously have no idea why this is even a tourist attraction. Hippie culture nostalgia and painted houses are why people go apparently?
Photos on occasion can be a challenge. Grabbing a few nice ones outside would be great. Don't feel bad if you are disappointed with pics of your heads sideways from the wind or if your background pics are foggy or filled with people.
The Golden Gate Bridge is LOUD! Wind and vehicles blasting past you won't help. It is probably the place I hated the most in SF was walking on that bridge. Cool experience, but I'm never getting on that damn structure again.
For a 9 year old, bring treats/things to occupy him. I imagine SF will be a bit more fascinating for you than for him.
