Exploratorium
  • The Exploratorium is a must for families with children, although both young kids and adults who are young at heart will delight in the freedom to play.

  • Some exhibits, including the popular San Francisco fog and wind and tide exhibits, are outside. Wear layered clothing and shoes that can get wet.

  • While the Exploratorium is oriented toward science and exploration for children, the Thursday evening events such as the Tactile Dome and After Dark attract an adult crowd.

  • First-time visitors are often overwhelmed by the sheer number of things to do; plan an early arrival to experience as much as possible.

  • The on-site restaurant, Seaglass, is very popular—dine after 1pm to avoid the longest lines.

  • The Exploratorium is fully accessible to wheelchairs and strollers; loaner wheelchairs are available for free at the information desk.
