Super cool! You also get to see the beautiful view and great places around :)

Position yourself at the right beneath it and snap a picture with the sculpture , created by Swedish pop-art pioneer Claes Oldenburg and Dutch artist Coosje van Bruggen, juxtaposed against the bridge .

One would think a city this wealthy could do FAR BETTER in terms of public art commissions.

What a gorgeous sculpture . It's not enough to see it while on the Muni or driving by. Walk the Embarcadero and see it up close.

Kenneth Knightley

Great spot for a small picnic . Looks out across the bay near the Bay Bridge into SFO. There's also a great dining spot next door with outdoor seating .

Ashley Bowles

Gorgeous spot for some photos and a view of the bay .

Great spot to watch some doggos or watch a city seagull surreptitiously swoop up someone’s lunch ????.

Corrie Davidson

Pick up snacks or sandwiches at the Ferry Building then enjoy it on the lawn overlooking the Bay Bridge .

This is an art sculpture . NOT a playground slide. Respect the art and signs and stay off!

Just south of the sculpture , sit on the bench and try to get the ferry building in a shot underneath the curve of the bow.
