This is the best place in San Francisco. If any visiting friend has a child with them, I seize that as an excuse to bring them here, and sometimes when I don't have such an excuse I just I go by myself. In its new location on the Embarcadero it is even better than it was, with more room, great views over the bay, easy access by foot or on transit, and for now not very crowded. Whatever your age or knowledge of science you will find fascinating things here. My advice is to leave plenty of time for your visit, but don't try to do everything -- wander around aimlessly trying things out, spending as much time as you like on whatever you find interesting.
