Take the boat ride over to Tiburon (in Marin)
Walk around for an hour or so (have lunch?) then back to SF
North Beach is also a great (small) neighborhood to walk around in.
Its near Coit Tower (I'd ride up, then walk down to North Beach)
Speaking of riding, Uber drivers are everywhere. Faster and cheaper
than cabs. Not to mention, there is NO WHERE to park!
Palace of Fine Arts has great stuff for young ones.

+1 for Uber or anything other than driving if you can swing it. I live 40 miles away and avoid SF like the plague unless I can do it via public transit, on foot or by motorcycle. It can spontaneously turn into a mess at any time.
For Alcatraz, book ASAP , it's very popular. Also, Exploratorium is great (will probably take 1/2 a day though). If you're on the Embarcadero (where you'll pickup the ride to Alcatraz), take a ride on the F train. Marina Green is great for walking and views of the GG bridge. Have a great time!
