Feel like a kid again! The Exploratorium lies on the pier of San Francisco. The exploratorium carries a hefty admission price. About $22 a person. It seems like a lot, I know but this is one admission I don't mind paying!
It opens at 10AM until 5PM. I highly suggest coming here when the doors open because this will be a full day trip! Now since this place is really popular, expect many many kids to be here as well as kids on a field trip also.
Now the cool thing about this place is you CAN bring your own lunch so pack some goodies!
This place is divided in so many parts that you might get really overwhelmed with it!
Before you enter, to your right will be the gift shop and cafe. Gift shop is huge and full of cool things you can buy so perhaps it might be best to stop by that prior to going in the museum.
Now as you enter you will see numerous interactive science exhibitions! Go ahead and play with them to your heart's content! The different areas they have here is science, sound, lights, sea, nature, illusions, mechanical exhibition.
The first area you see is where most of the people hang around and as you venture in further, the people seem to weed out.
The reason I say head in at 10AM because the hours seem to whizz by as you are trying different science projects! Be mindful though people, don't be a douche. There are people waiting to try exhibition so don't try and jump ahead of the line. ESPECIALLY you parents that let their kids run at the project when there are other people clearly waiting. So don't be THAT parent with THAT kid.
Anyways the most popular exhibitions are the toilet water fountain, the tornado fog, the vapor , the upside down mirror, the small/large room, the two seat communicators, monochrome room, the light section, the metal needles, the whale tube, the color room, the engine starter.
Those are just a few to name. There are much more exhibitions to see that it will be impossible to name all of them.
It's an amazing place to spend the day in. Just be weary that cool spherical exhibition where you can enter, charges about $10, so that will be an additional charge.
This is only good for a one time visit to be honest. Once you visit the whole place and do everything, most of it will stay the same throughout couple months. They do switch out exhibitions from time to time.
