Wear layered clothing
Coastal mornings can be cool while inland afternoons warm quickly — layers let you adapt between outdoor campus plazas and air‑conditioned museums.
Bring a portable charger
You’ll be taking photos, using museum apps, and possibly VR at Apple — a power bank keeps devices alive through the day.
Plan for traffic windows
Return to San Francisco can be slower during evening commute; midweek departures often avoid the worst congestion.

Some exhibits or purchases may require identification; it’s also useful for transport and any incidentals.
