I guess a block or two walk has to be taken in context in San Francisco. I saw
a post saying don’t believe people who say at least it will be downhill on the
way back, that will be uphill too.
Now I’m having mental images of the car chase from Bullitt.

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

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.
