The expanded Exploratorium at Pier 15 is a five star experience as the previous reviewers agree, but can wear you out. To get the most bang for your twenty-five bucks, you need to pace yourself and relax. Did you get hot running around the exhibits trying to keep up with the kids? Go outside and cool off in the fog exhibit on the walkway between the piers. Go upstairs and outside at the Bay Observatory. You can lunch at SEAGLAchose toSS restaureant or picnic outside (but remember to get your hand stamped). I was hang out in the cinema room watching the short films, taking a weight off my feet. Want to take a break standing up? There's a pinball machine with the insides exposed so you can see how it works. Still tired? There's an expresso bar and and espresso cart.
