Exploratorium

The Exploratorium is San Francisco's celebrated hands-on science museum, inviting visitors of all ages to ignite their curiosity. Located conveniently near the Ferry Building and Fisherman’s Wharf, this dynamic space transcends the typical museum experience, blending art, science, and human perception through hundreds of interactive exhibits. Founded in 1969 by physicist and educator Frank Oppenheimer, the Exploratorium pioneered the concept of learning through direct experience. Don't miss 'After Dark' on Thursdays, where adults can delve into themed evenings that combine cocktails with cutting-edge science until 10 PM. Part art gallery, part laboratory, and all-around intellectual playground, the Exploratorium offers an unforgettable experience that challenges and inspires.
