If you are curious about how things work or even vaguely interested in science things, you will have an amazing time at this place.Not the easiest of places to get to by public transport, it is worth the effort. There is so much to do and after 3 hours, i was quite tired and probably missed around 10% of the... more

The original science museum where I was allowed to be kid again! Even the slightess curiosity in life and this will be a thrill if you allowed your self to be a curious kid again.. there is no going back. Small place, but still possible to spend hours there.. more

I live in a city that is well known for its Arts but the science thing is a little lacking. And being a parent I wish that we had something like this back home. It is amazing.

My husband and I stopped at the Exploratorium on a whim late one afternoon, and I am so glad that we did. We did not have much time to spend inside before closing and could have stayed longer.

We spent about three hours here and had a great time, despite all the little children that would jump in front of you at an exhibit. We did not do every exhibit so we could have easily stayed an additional two hours if we had. We do not have kids nor do we like little kids in mass quantities but... more

The tactile dome at the exploratoruim was amazing. If you go the San Fran I say it's a must do. THe Tactile dome is basically a maze the is completely dark. There are things hung on the wall for you to touch and feel. Just an experience to get you to use your other senses. It was a little scary... more
