Tinker, touch, test, experiment, notice, play! The Exploratorium is more than a museum—it’s a gateway to exploring science, art, and human perception with every visit. Let your curiosity roam through 650+ interactive exhibits in six spacious indoor and outdoor galleries. You’ll find the world-famous Tactile Dome, our one-of-a-kind stores, dining, and more at our beautiful bayside location at Pier 15—located on the Embarcadero between the historic Ferry Building and Pier 39. Looking for a night away from the kids? Things look different After Dark at the Exploratorium. Every Thursday evening from 6-10 pm, grab your friends (ages 18+) and a drink and savor adults-only programming and one-of-a-kind activities.
