Alcatraz is great, but you might have difficulty making a reservation. Muir woods now has limited parking that also requires a reservation. I highly recommend renting a bicycle in the city and riding along the Embarcadero through fisherman's wharf and to the golden gate bridge, followed by a trip across the bridge down into Sausalito, and then a ferry back to San Francisco. You get to see lots of beautiful scenery and experience a trip on the bay. If you feel adventurous, then cross the bridge and climb the hill on the West side of the bridge (Conzelman Rd?) to the old gun turrets about a couple hundred feet up. You look down on the Golden Gate Bridge with the absolute best views of the bridge and city.
If you are in Emeryville, then you are 10 miles from the Oakland Hills--Redwood Regional Park. Go to the Skyline gate and take a hike along the rim trail, or hike down into the Redwoods on the French Trail. There will be some elevation gain, but wonderful hiking and beautiful redwoods. That is in my neck of the woods. You are welcome to borrow a bike from me (I ride a 54 cm, but also have a smaller mixte Cheviot) and ride along Skyline Blvd to Grizzly Peak Blvd, where there are amazing views of the bay. I know you said that you won't be biking, but hard for me to not recommend it :).
