Definitely worth visiting! So many fun exhibits for all ages and friendly staff. I’ll definitely recommend to either bring less things or rent a locker since many activities are hands on.

Really interesting place with so many things to interact with. Good to go with a partner as some displays need at least two people. Overall amazing place to visit, really good for kids but I enjoyed all the displays even though I am an adult and went alone.

We became members at this visit. We normally are but our membership had expired. My kids love the exploratorium and it is one of the top museums they ask to spend the day at (besides the Academy of Sciences). My largest tip for visiting here is pack snacks and water. You can easily spend all day here and your kids will get hungry. They have food but it’s pricy. Stop and take breaks. The Exploratorium has over 700 exhibits and they are always changing - so yes ….. you will want to return over and over again. Parking is also easy - right across the street there is a lot. Over the years we have been coming and the lot has never been full. Also the bathrooms here have always been clean.

Wow, let me tell you, the Exploratorium totally blew me away! It went above and beyond all my expectations. From the moment I stepped into the enchanted forest with its fluttering butterflies, chirping birds, and tropical animals, I was absolutely delighted. And guess what? My grandchildren were over the moon when a butterfly landed right on their little fingers! It was pure magic. But that's not all! The Exploratorium is packed with an incredible array of wild animals and interactive exhibits that will leave you in awe. The earthquake simulator had the children giggling with excitement, and trust me, it was a blast! Now, I must admit, the food lines weren't the best, but hey, they weren't too terrible either. It would be even better if they had more snack shops scattered throughout the building. There's just so much to explore at the Exploratorium that you might miss something if you're not careful. So, my advice? Get there early and stay late to make the most of your visit. Oh, and don't forget to take a stroll outside too! The grounds are absolutely stunning. It's truly a day filled with joy and fun. I had such a fantastic time that I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Trust me, getting a yearly pass is totally worth it! Oh, and one more thing, parking was available on the street. So, mark my words, you absolutely have to visit the Exploratorium. It's an experience you won't want to miss out on!
