Super Fun Almost every year, my school would take our class to the San Francisco Exploratorium. If you haven't been there about a bilion times, it's really fun. The main highlight of the museum (they even have a commercial for it) is the cow's eye dissection (everybody's so engrossed with the eye, they don't llisten to the person who's describing what he's doing and why he's doing what he's doing). It's pretty hideous- last year a boy even fainted. They have some pretty fun displays (I love the hands on projects the best).

Exploratorium Exploratorium is such a great place to learn about science. Exploratorium is for all ages and has many exhibits to look at. My friends and I come here very often when I was in high school to learn more about chemistry and physics. It helped me passed both class in flying colors. There are a lot of kids coming here to help broaden their imagination with science.

great for kids I've gone here on several occassions. Once just to visit, and a couple of times for company holiday parties. Every time, it's been a lot of fun. They have a lot of good activities for kids that make science interesting. And going in big groups like for a company party is also great, even for adults!

Explore Even I love to go this place. I take my children here alot specially when there is a new exhibit. They love to play with all the different gadgets and we love to go see the stars. This place is also a wonderful place just to walk around on a nice sunny day

Truely fun! I still remember going to this place as a 3rd grader on a field trip. It is still fresh in my memory how great this place is. The thing that makes it so great is that the museum understands science isn't always presented in entertaining ways. The fact that the exhibits are hands on makes adults and kids enjoy the experience. I can still remember the cow eye dissection as a child like it happend yesterday. I don't have kids yet but when I do, I will bring them here because I don't see how any kid can't enjoy this ... read more

nice place to take your kids i have been to the exploratorium three times, twice as field trips as a kid, and once with friends and each time i went, it has been better and better. maybe it's the age but i was more fascinated with everything each time i went. i would definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in san francisco.

Awesome place I love the Exploratorium!! Even though I wasn't much of a physics fan back in school, this place is the best. There are so many exhibits to look at. And the best part about the exploratorium is that almost everything is a hands on expereince. Thats what makes this place unique and interesting. I would recommend this place for all people. You learn alot and have fun too.
