Full of exhibits that showcase various aspects of science, technology, and art, the Exploratorium offers hands-on learning experiences and allows exploration of so many real-world concepts.<\/p>\n<p>In its new home on the Embarcadero at Pier 15 (after many years at the <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/mapsofworld.com\/sanfrancisco-city-guide\/attractions\/palace-fine-arts\">Palace of Fine Arts<\/a><\/strong><\/span>), the Exploratorium is walking distance to the Ferry Building and not far from Fisherman\u2019s Wharf or the Embarcadero BART station.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Map\u00a0of Exploratorium showing its location and nearby attractions\u00a0:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Exploratorium is one of the best cold or rainy day activities in San Francisco. It\u2019s a great place to take kids any day, and while children of all ages would enjoy it, the Exploratorium seems best suited for elementary school-aged children, from about 6 to 12. Toddlers will enjoy a lot of the colorful and playful exhibits but older kids will get a lot more out of it. There\u2019s plenty for adults to enjoy too \u2013 bring a few friends and you\u2019ll spend hours laughing and feeling like a kid again (but you can expect to have eager kids pushing in front of you at the exhibits). And if you can\u2019t handle the kids or just prefer to explore with a cocktail in hand, check out After Dark at the Exploratorium on Thursday nights (6 pm to 10 pm) for their 18+ event with special themes each week ($15).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_592\" style=\"width: 757px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mapsofworld.com\/sanfrancisco-city-guide\/?attachment_id=592\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-592\" class=\"wp-image-592 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/images.mapsofworld.com\/san-francisco\/2015\/01\/exploratorium-5.jpg\" alt=\"Camera Obscura exhibit outside the Exploratorium\" width=\"747\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-592\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Camera Obscura exhibit outside the Exploratorium<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Before you even enter the Exploratorium, there are some rotating outdoor exhibits, like the portable camera obscura on display the day I visited, in which you can sit inside and spy on all the people walking by. There\u2019s also a museum store with lots of activity kits and nerdy toys and a museum caf\u00e9, the Seismic Joint Caf\u00e9 that offers some good but expensive food, and the Bay Observatory\u2019s SeaGlass Restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>Leave your stuff in the lockers up front (50 cents) so you can be free to get hands on with the exhibits, but hang on to your camera because there are so many great photo ops. One fun photo op is the toilet drinking fountain near the entrance, which gives visitors a chance to think about why we might choose the standard drinking fountain over the one that looks like a toilet when both offer perfectly clean water, but mostly it\u2019s just fun to take a silly picture drinking out of a toilet. Other photo favorites include the room that makes groovy colorful silhouettes, the giant mind-boggling inverted mirror, and the shadow box room, in which a blinding flash of light temporarily prints your shadow onto the walls in a display on phosphorescence.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_593\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mapsofworld.com\/sanfrancisco-city-guide\/?attachment_id=593\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-593\" class=\"wp-image-593 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/images.mapsofworld.com\/san-francisco\/2015\/01\/exploratorium-6.jpg\" alt=\"Shadow box fun (and a shadow-bomber) \" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-593\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shadow box fun (and a shadow-bomber)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Everywhere you look inside this huge 330,000 square foot space is another exhibit, from informative displays to educational toys that deal with physics, electricity, sound, images, human interaction and psychology and more. The tinkering zone lets visitors build contraptions, design a pinball game, learn how electricity is conducted by becoming a circuit, and see how things are constructed and created. True to the museum\u2019s purpose, right there in the Exploratorium is the real workshop where many of the museum\u2019s new exhibits are made, and visitors, if they\u2019re lucky, can watch the builders in action.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_594\" style=\"width: 795px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mapsofworld.com\/sanfrancisco-city-guide\/?attachment_id=594\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-594\" class=\"wp-image-594 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/images.mapsofworld.com\/san-francisco\/2015\/01\/exploratorium-1.jpg\" alt=\"Exhibit creation in progress\" width=\"785\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-594\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Exhibit creation in progress<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In another part of the Exploratorium, there are life science exhibits with microorganisms, insects and small reptiles, and plant life, including a Mimosa pudica, or the Sensitive Plant, which has long leaves that close up when you touch them.<\/p>\n<p>Another section explores the way we see and hear, including some of my favorite exhibits that demonstrate the way our bodies work. One showed how we each see color differently and another allowed us to see the blood cells moving around in our eyeballs. Then there was the voice changing machine which allowed us to change the pitch of our voices while talking to a friend, which was hilarious and we laughed until we cried playing with it.<\/p>\n<p>The fox walking exhibit is a fun way to challenge your friends. The quiet room has a gravel floor with microphones that measures how softly you can walk, so you can finally prove once and for all that your roommate really does stomp around louder than necessary.<\/p>\n<p>A fun and also very creepy date activity is the face merging exhibit: each of you sits on one side of a mirror, then you adjust the knobs to allow for some transparency and see what your faces look like merged (and find out what monstrosities you might have for children).<\/p>\n<p>There are games, like Team Pacman or Team Snake, which works just like the early cell phone game we all remember from our Nokias except it requires cooperation: each player only controls one direction. There are some other psychological experiments, including one that demonstrates the prisoner\u2019s dilemma.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibits around the Exploratorium offers sensory experiences to make you rethink the way you view the world. For an additional ticket ($15), visitors can enter the Tactile Dome and navigate the maze and all its obstacles in complete darkness, relying on senses other than sight to make sense of everything.<\/p>\n<p>There are enough activities and exhibits to last you a full day, and at a minimum visitors should allow 3-4 hours to at least make a dent in them. I was there for over 4 hours and couldn\u2019t make it to the outdoor exhibits before the museum closed (and a 5pm is way too early to close on weekends). It\u2019s easy to lose track of time but the kindly escort patrons out promptly at closing time.<\/p>\n<p>The Exploratorium is a fantastic place to have some fun with your kids or your friends or maybe even some strangers (Will somebody answer the red phone already? Satisfy that urge you\u2019ve always felt to answer that random unattended phone starts ringing, and pick up!)<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget the hand sanitizer.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Exploratorium Info:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Address:<\/strong> Pier 15 The Embarcadero, San Francisco, CA 94111, USA<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hours:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Monday- closed<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday- Wednesday- \u00a010AM-5PM<\/p>\n<p>Thurday- 10AM-5PM, 6-10PM<\/p>\n<p>Friday- Sunday- 10AM-5PM<\/p>\n<p><strong>Phone: <\/strong> 415-528-4444<\/p>\n<p><strong>Website: <\/strong> https:\/\/www.exploratorium.edu\/<\/p>\n<p>While weekends can be somewhat less busy than weekends, there are often school field trips that keep the Exploratorium busy frequently.
