GIFTS FOR KIDS

Our award-winning Tallest Tree stacking blocks are an enduring family favorite. Designed to help kids discover the wonder of California’s redwood forests, they make a great gift set when paired with our matching Tallest Tree board book and growth chart. Shop other creative play goodies like our Views of San Francisco coloring book.

HOME DÉCOR

Along with our 2022 park calendar and architecture-inspired cast-steel Golden Gate Bridge bookends, our Golden Gate National Parks posters are a great addition to any home office. Featuring the iconic artwork you know and love, each poster is silkscreened in the USA on archival quality paper.

LET IT FOG!

Our glittering fog globes are a must-have for the holidays. Each globe is hand-crafted and unique, with just the right amount of swirling silver “fog” and a hand-painted miniature cast-resin model. Choose between Golden Gate Bridge, Redwoods, and Alcatraz, or collect all three!

PARK GEAR

Wear your park pride on your sleeve. Literally! Our popular apparel collection has something for everyone: comfortable crewneck sweatshirts, embroidered baseball caps, snuggly acrylic scarves, and Made in California items by women and minority-owned companies.

GIVE PARK EXPERIENCES

This winter is a great time to give the gift of history and unique experiences. Alcatraz Island has several new offerings, like the Behind the Scenes Tour and Night Tour, and a new exhibit called The Big Lockup: Mass Incarceration in the United States. Find out more and get your Alcatraz Island tickets.
