There is a Ghirardelli factory/shop near fisherman's wharf; not more
than a block or two walk IIRC (but it's been a while since I went there).
There's also fisherman's wharf and Pier 39 (not 49 if I remember
correctly).
As mentioned there is the Exploratorium, Steinhart Aquarium, Cal
Academy, and Muir Woods to name just a handful of the big ones, but
there are probably a couple dozen in and around the city. If you haven't
done it, taking one of the ferry rides around the bay is a real treat;
especially for someone who has never been there.
In the south bay, there is Great America, the computer history museum,
and Tech Interactive.
I do like the Monterey Bay Aquarium, but I haven't been there in a while.

I'm not Bill, but I do have some recommendations based on my
semi-frequent visits...
First of all, don't forget to find a good, authentic mission style
burrito somewhere along the way. If I find a specific place next
weekend when I'm down there, I'll let you know.
Santa Cruz is where I always think when I think about Northern
California Beach with amusement park.
There's an old time coin operated arcade/museum near pier 49 in San
Francisco. My visits to that part of the world almost always
contains a Boudin sourdough bread bowl with clam chowder in it from
the Boudin bakery and then a walk over to the arcade, and then a walk
over to the end of pier 49 to see the sea lions.
Closer to the bay Bridge is the explotatorium which is a great science
museum on one of the other piers. I usually try to arrange my visits
for the adult only evenings but that won't apply for you.
If I'm relying on public transportation (or just want the experience)
you can take a cable car from mission and market up over the hill and
down to basically the Boudin bakery. Then there are old time trolleys
which service the route along the piers so I've been known to use the
trolley to go from pier 49 to the exploratorium.
Both myself and my wife were disappointed by the Monterey Bay
aquarium, as in the one in the Salt Lake Valley might be better.
Different critters, obviously and the Monterey bay aquarium has been
around for quite some time. I'm sure this is because of how many
aquariums and similar we've visited and that our expectations were
higher than reality because of the reputation. I'm not saying don't
go, just expect a smaller aquarium.

Planning a 3 day largely unstructured excursion around the bay
area with grand children and their DNA donors.
Day 1 Computer Museum, Winchester House then thinking of heading
toward Monterey for the clam chowder samples and perhaps the
aquarium. This might stretch into the second day. Is there an
amusement part in Half Moon Bay? I seem to remember some touristy
stuff there.
Then downtown SF, street cars, wharf with navy vessels and Bubba
Gump shrimp, perhaps Alcatraz.
Then ??? and home.
