Pretty cool place. It is huge and there is so much to see do touch feel interact with. Super great for kids obviously but even the adults. Highly recommend. Does get very crowded. There is a cafeteria with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

An incredible amount of exhibits ranging from artistic to mathematical. I'm an adult and even I had lots of fun. Some of the exhibits require a second person so it might be a good idea to bring a friend if able. I had loads of fun looking at the 5 senses exhibits, carnivorous plants, San franscico sediment variations and natural properties phonenoms. It even has an AI section that has AI exhibits now. Very fascinating. I would highly recommend visiting. Around 11 to 1:30pm there are children visiting so they can be quite loud, you can go in and out with a stamp. I personally found them pretty entertaining since they were also quite enthusiastic. Also I would like to mention that there's an exhibit where there's a bowl that you can choose to take or leave something, and asks critical thinking questions for kids regarding communal spaces and sharing. It would be great if you could bring something small like stickers or trinkets to add to the exhibit and make it more fun!

I've been going to the Exploratorium for over a decade—probably more than a hundred times, no exaggeration. I started taking my son when he was a toddler, and now he's 13. It’s always been one of our favorite places. I used to be a member, but after my financial situation changed, I was so grateful to learn that the Exploratorium participates in the Museums for All program. It means EBT card holders can get tickets for just $3 each, which makes a huge difference. This past Sunday was our first visit in a long time, and it felt like coming home. We were thrilled to see the toothpick exhibit again, along with many of our favorite stations still going strong. The museum is just as magical for teens as it is for little ones. We had a great day. Our favorite exhibits are still the bubble station, the outdoor area, the tactile dome (where you navigate in complete darkness using only your sense of touch), and of course, the incredible toothpick sculpture built by Scott Weaver—a volunteer who created this massive, intricate structure entirely out of toothpicks. I had such a nice time, I’m now begging my friend to let me take her 7-year-old daughter (who feels like a niece to me) so she can experience it too. The Exploratorium is truly a gem, and I’m so thankful it’s still part of our lives.

We came on a Sunday afternoon. Great and fun place for children and adults. So many activities everywhere you look. Family Vibes. Live shows. Cafes. Staff available to help. Outside exhibits. Rooftop exhibit. Always recommend to others. Spend about 4 hours there but could do 5 to see more exhibits.

If you are a science geek like me, you will love this place! The inside and outside of this place has a plethora of interactive exhibits for all ages. The hands on stations will stimulate your senses and expand your mind. A great place to learn about science, the environment, and engineering. I enjoyed all aspects of this learning place and walked out with an enlightened big smile.
