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.

Worth the price of admission
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!
