Getting ready to go in, and all of a sudden we were surrounded by 30 or 40 naked people on bicycles. My grandson turned to me and said do we have to be naked to go into the Exploratorium, and I said no we did not lol

Visited: 11/06/2023 Really enjoyed the visit to this interactive museum. Worth a pop in for a couple of hours. Plenty to learn about and enjoy, and even better that you interact with some exhibits to help you understand how it works. My only advice would be to adults without kids, try to visit on a day when kids are in school otherwise you don't really get to do much interaction.

A fun and cute interactive museum. Covers a wide variety of things, as a photographer, I had a lot of fun with the light area!

The Exploratorium offers an extensive experience that can easily fill 4-5 hours of exploration. It's a must-visit, especially for science enthusiasts. With a diverse array of interactive displays, from playing with lights, creating giant bubbles, experimenting with magnetic sand, observing dancing water droplets, infinity mirrors, and discovering fascinating science facts presented in an engaging and fun manner, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

Visited here recently with my sister (both 27 lol) on a very wet and cold weekday and we really enjoyed it. We were here for hours! Was obviously full of kids but as the time goes on, it becomes emptier! This was part of the city pass we purchased.

The whole family loved our day at the Exploratorium! We took our kids when they were growing up, several times and now we've taken our grandson, next generation also! The food in the restaurant was delicious and the view of the Bay Bridge right through the floor-to-ceiliing glass walls was amazing too!

This was our 2nd time to the Exploratorium, but my 12 year old didn't remember it. It was just as much hands on fun as the last time, and we saw dolphins out in the bay from the window. We'd go again. It was full of field trips from local schools on a weekday, but it was still a blast.

We just loved this museum and the entire experience! Our nine-year-old twins were fascinated with all the different exhibits. We arrived at 11:00 am and other than a quick stop at the cafeteria for lunch, we were all happily occupied right up until it closed at 5:00 pm. The interactive exhibits were so informative and so much fun, for kids and adults alike. I highly recommend for families with kids of all ages!

Great learning experience! Picture a huge airplane hanger style (several) all out overlooking the pier / bay. The building is divided into 6 galleries that each focus on a specific scientific topic. Every 2 feet is a hands on tactile experiment for the kids to participate in. My son is 10 and we spent 6 hours here. He had a blast. Beautiful environment and really encourages tactile learning in multiple ways. Buy the tickets to also do the dark dome. Was a really fun and interesting experience. Would encourage all families to visit!

A really nice experience to kids and anyone interested in science, it is an interactive exhibit and you will love to tryout different experiments and learn more about them. But set aside sometime for it, if you want to explore it good, then 3-4 hours is needed.
