San Francisco - Palace of Fine Arts

Once you've finished exploring the San Francisco, the Exploratorium is an interesting place to spend some time. Located at the Palace of Fine Arts, the Exploratorium is a premier science museum. It is largely targeted towards children and families but it can really be enjoyed by anyone. There are a huge number of diverse exhibits covering various areas of interest, all of which are designed to educate and also entertain.

Children tend to rate this museum very highly, with all kinds of experiments and interesting things to do. It becomes more than just a learning experience, it's actually fun. Surprisingly, whether they have kids or not, most adults also rave about the Exploratorium.

Be warned though, it can be very busy, particularly on holidays and when multiple school groups arrive.

The Tactile Dome at the Exploratorium in San Francisco is a pitch black labyrinth. Visitors walk, crawl or otherwise maneuver feeling unknown shapes and textures.
