Came here with a group of 3 on a Thursday for After Dark. Tickets were $15 online, and we parked a block away in a lot across the street ($15 evening parking). There's cheaper Exploratorium parking directly across the street.

Pros:
-restaurant looked decent
-short line for prepaid tickets

Cons:
-way too many people. The entire place was packed, and we had to wait for a lot of exhibits
-boring exhibits. As an engineer and scientist by training, I didn't learn anything from any of the exhibits, and most of them were ones I had already seen before.
-Adler Dome closed for After Dark
-Zoe Keating special performance looked incredibly overbooked
