Exploratorium, San Francisco

This place is brilliant. I will come back multiple times. The exhibits are more interesting and better quality than any government funded science centre I've ever been to–and I've been to dozens. The "science" is great for adults and enough exhibits to keep kids busy for days. The "light and visual" section is outstanding. π

This place instantly became one of my favorite places, ever! I was amazed and entertained all the 4 hours I spent there on their Thursday After Dark events. I could easily have spent a couple more hours and it still might have not been enough to see/try it all. It's just so much fun to interact with everything and get a better understanding of how things work. I simply love it and I'll definitely come back if I ever have the chance.

Good place to visit for the whole family. Both my 8yrs old and 4 yrs old enjoyed it very much. Cool stuffs are interested to adults as well. Stayed till close and we will come back again.

Such an awesome place for both kids and adults. I have fond memories of going as a child, and was so happy to take my 3 year old. He was able to enjoy many of the exhibits, even if he didn't understand what exactly was going on. A nice mix of the classic exhibits i remember as a child, and some new ones. The new space is spread out and in a high tourist area, but the weather was nice and we were able to check out the outdoor exhibitions as well. Close to the Ferry Building, where we went for lunch. For a family, 2 visits a year would make up for the cost of the annual family pass. If we lived in the area, I would definitely go for that option.

We had a lot of fun! We went on a Thursday night and it was awesome! No kids around because at that time it’s only open for adults and you can purchase drinks inside. We enjoyed the experience and we are looking forward to going back because we couldn’t manage to visit the whole museum! Totally recommended!!
