Founded by physicist and educator Dr. Frank Oppenheimer in 1969, the Exploratorium features hundreds of hands-on exhibits and appeals to adults and children alike. Located at the stunning Palace of Fine Arts, the Exploratorium is one of the top things to do in San Francisco.
The goal of the Exploratorium is to help people explore and understand the world around them. The Exploratorium's museum floor is open to the public, but also serves as a laboratory for research and development of innovations in exhibits for exploring the sciences, arts, and human perception.
Some of the mesmerizing exhibits include mouse stem cells that beat like heart cells, and worms glowing bright green with the phosphorescence of jellyfish, through gene implantation.
The Exploratorium will move to Piers 15/17 in 2013, significantly increasing the space, and allowing for the addition of new facilities as well.
Exploratorium is one of the top San Francisco attractions. See why and stop by!
