Fedifriends, help me find fun sightseeing and touristy things in San Francisco that are wheelchair accessible.
More context: My in-laws are visiting from the UK next week and one of them uses a mobility scooter or wheelchair (can also get around short distances on crutches). We will not have access to a car, so we have to get around by public transit, cabs, etc.
They enjoy people watching, gardens, birds, hanging out in cafes, and talking to the locals.
So far I was thinking they might like JFK Promenade and the surrounding museums, the Botanical Garden, and taking a boat tour of the bay.
On a meta level, I don’t quite know how to research this so I’d appreciate meta tips as well.
(Boosts for reach most welcome)

It just opened, and.. hearing this music, and this language, around me in a place where I sometimes feel unmoored and far from home, is just a godsend.
EXCLUSIVE: Defense attorneys for the man accused of attacking former SF Fire Commissioner Don Carmignani say the person shown in this video bear spraying a homeless person in the face appears to be Carmignani.

These new revelations may jeopardize the case against Carmignani's alleged assailant.
"I would say my client is acting in lawful self-defense," a defense attorney said.
