Developed by physicist Frank Oppenheimer and opened in 1969, this innovative and interactive museum behind the Palace of Fine Arts is dedicated to art, science and human perception. The hands-on displays unveil the mysteries of science and language. The exhibits present theories simply and succinctly. For a different kind of hands-on experience, check out the tactile dome, a labyrinth of different textures that explorers negotiate in the dark. Seminars on quirky subjects are offered on weekends.

(Rating: 4) Worth the price of admission

by Kevin on June 15, 2008

The Exploratorium is not cheap but it's well worth the $15 - $20 ticket price. Kids of all ages (4-94) will love this place -- it's got something for everyone. Our kids love all the exhibits because they are hands-on. Plenty of parking too. Unusual, for SF!
