Best place to bring you kid... or too feel like one yoursel This has been a favorite of mine since I was a boy. Amazing science exhibits with stun you time and time again. They also have the textile dome... a left over from those wild early days of the 70's. Super fun to do with a group or just with you and your kids.

Scientifically Proven Fun In March, I had 2 Japanese foreign exchange students staying with me, and was supposed to show them around San Francisco and entertain them for a few days.

Fun for Children and Scientists The Exploratorium is an interactive educational museum for children. Sometimes the explanations for the displays can be a little confusing, but the main goal is really about showing the kiddies that science is kind of cool. Over the years, they've had fake tornados, optical illusion rooms, and musical instruments to smack around. Kids like it here.

kid again I went here for the first time while I was studying in the Bay Area. I was tired from finals and needed a break from the monotonous life of studying and college life. So my friends took me to the Exploratorium. WIth a million different experiements to play with and to discover, there's no question as to why this place is called the exploratorium. It's a fantastic place to let your kids run free and learn by doing.

Great Experience This place answers most of your scientific questions about life. They have numerous areas of interactive displays. Readings along the side that describes the whole purpose which makes things more understanding. Some displays have audio and video which makes it even more interesting. There are a lot of kids here so prepare to wait a few minutes to check out a display or come back to them when free.

Great fun for the whole family This place is great. Even though I've been going here since I was a child myself, I'm never bored when I take my own children. It's got something to amaze everyone in the family, all age groups. A must!!
