I have always dreamed of working in the vfx industry and that dream started with the Star Wars movies!!! If youre in the area, please dont miss out El Presidio and this lovely spot next to LucasFilm and Industrial Light and Magic.Even if you have no passion for Star Wars, this park is worth visiting. Lots of green areas, places to sit and have coffee and an amazing view of the Golden Gate Bridge.It is also super close to the Palace of Fine Arts so its a visit you can add with those plans too (if youre thinking of visiting the Palace)

Great tribute to Lucas Films. While there is not much to look at in the area its still a must see for any Star Wars fans. Gate staff is super friendly as well. May the force be with you

Great place and spectacular views. I was told to not eat here and I assume it is to reduce the trash around the visiting location. Id bet that there is more too see up top but I wasnt sure. Id love to go and check out the views though. Maybe there will be more to see or maybe it wasnt worth it. I check this place out again in the future.

This city gives me more reasons to love it every day! I dont even like Star Wars, but I had to visit to celebrate the funky spirit of San Francisco! The shady, tree lined location as well and the sound of water running give this location a peaceful and tranquil aura that fits the spirit of its namesake.

Its exactly as advertised. Yoda... On a fountain.What I didnt know though was there is a lobby behind him with much more to see. Star Wars props, books, artwork, and more. Plus theres a delightful little park area that you can walk with statues of important contributors to the film industry and special effects.

Pretty cool. The whole place is for designing George Lucas and Disney movies. You see eg everywhere Star wars Figures. Unfortunately we couldnt go in due to covid.

The fountain was being worked on. It was still pretty cool.

Only reason its 4 stars is because the starwars stuff in the building behind the fountain was closed due to covid. It would have been awesome to go inside, but we were able to peek through the windows at least!

Must see if youre a star wars fan! Besides, the park around it is pretty cool. Lots to do nearby

A calm, serene place to visit, take a break or take your dog(s) for a walk. LucasArts has kept the grounds in wonderful shape and interpresed several interesting monuments to film. Higher up on the Presidio, it also makes for a terrific vantage to see the Bay and Golden Gate.

Awesome place. Star wars fans see many great items and can view some Lucas awards as well. Worth the time if you are in the area.

Not too difficult to find if you use Google maps as the location is correct. I only mention this as there seem to be folk posting reviews on gmaps who are getting lost.The highlight is the building behind the fountain. There’s no signs, it’s not advertised, and you’ll feel like you’re intruding if you walk in, but it’s the main lobby for Lucasfilm. Lots of Star Wars models and memorabilia. A lot are behind glass cases which make taking photos difficult because of reflections, but it’s still cool to see. There’s a sad looking BB-8 on a shelf too. When I was there in August 2018, there was a large advert for Solo in another room, which is about as much advertising as Disney bothered with for the movie it seems.. I wouldn’t go looking for ILM while you’re there btw - it’s just a building. The grounds are nice too.

Awesome it is. For any Star Wars nerd a must this is. Regret the voyage you will not. Reach out with your senses and the force will show you the way. (Or just use Google maps like we did.)

Great that you’re able to walk around the grounds of the Lucas offices. A must for any Star Wars fan, and pretty enough to entertain even the non-rebels! Sandwiched between presidio and palace of royal arts.

As a massive SW fan it was great to visit this spot, wonder and take some pics and enjoy the surroundings. Note youre not able to actually do anything here other than look around but the lobby has some amazing original props to see.

A unique stop in San Francisco, not a lot of visitors when we stopped by. Has free parking just tell the guard you are there to see Yoda!!

Neat to see in person. Location is where Lucasfilm is located. That was nice to find out, didnt know this when I headed over. Starbucks around the corner where you can hang out and rest for a moment. :)

Well, its quite a basic fountain with a sculpted Yoda standing on top of it. If youre a Star Wars fan and strolling nearby, you might want to visit it.

Review №44

Being completely honest here; I had no idea that the Lucasfilm studios were located in San Francisco. Some friends and I were visiting the city for a weekend and were trying to get to the Golden Gate. On our way there I saw a dot in Google maps labeled Yoda Statue. We immediately stopped and went out of our way to get to it. We found out that the Lucasfilm grounds are opened to the public. It felt like a university campus. We finally found the statue and took pictures. We could see that inside their lobby they had other Star Wars figures. Definitely going back to take a tour of the inside.

A very cool statue sat atop a fountain. Quite perfect for little Yoda since he was a fountain of wisdom from my childhood. I take all of my friends here who visit from out of town. A San Franciscan must see.

K
Review №49

Not worth driving here just to see this small statue, but if you are walking or bicycling through the park anyway, it is a fun visit. Starbucks is next door if you want a snack or bathroom break.

I stopped by on a Sunday and all the offices were closed and the security guard let us park in the lot out front.

It is what it claims to be - a Yoda fountain. Nothing more and nothing less. Fountain with Yodas statue. Its set on the site of Lucas studios, but accessible to public. The studio site has some good views on the Palace of Fine Arts.

Vi
Review №52

I could not miss out to this one once I found out such a news that Yoda was in San Francisco. Its just opposite the palace of fine arts and easy to get to. Behind it theres s room with more stuff like r2d2 and dart Vader plus some marvel stuff and a Lucas arts poster as well as a robot from the movie solo. Really cool stuff

Review №66

Its Yoda, but with a fountain. There are some interesting things to be seen inside as well. Its a bit of a bummer that you cant buy anything here, and that there arent more things outside. That said, if youve been dreaming about having your picture taken next to a slightly moist statue of a Jedi, you cant beat it.

This is really a must see place to visit. It’s very clean and very serene! My only gripe would be that we couldn’t go inside to view the Star Wars memorabilia! Who only offers admittance to a place like this on weekdays? What the hell, people?!!! Do you not know anything about tourism?Sheesh!!!

If you are a fan of Star Wars story, you must go there, take a pictures, visit the George Lucas office and you can enjoy also this opportunity to Know other famous places as the palace of fine arts, Golden Gate Bridge (you must cross it by walking)..So create a itinerary to do all this things in the same day. It’s possible.

Came here for Starbucks and ended up talking to a very nice man in the security post as he works there. As we entered he guided us as to where to go,then he says, before you leave go and look inside those windows. So we did and it was star wars memoribilia. It was awesome, the area was nice too and ometo find out it was the presidio. Awesome experience, very calm and soothing environment.
