About Exploratorium

Exploratorium is a public learning laboratory at Pier 15 in San Francisco where visitors explore science, art, and human perception through over 650 interactive exhibits. Guests can blow giant rainbow bubbles, run through fog, enjoy Bay views, and engage with hands-on activities spanning multiple galleries. The museum hosts themed exhibitions like Life in Space, where visitors learn how life might survive in extreme conditions beyond Earth. After Dark Thursday Nights offer adults ages 18 and up evening access to the same exhibits in a social setting. School field trips are available by reservation, with Explainers on staff to guide groups through activities. Public school PreK–12 teachers not from California receive a $10 discount on admission. Members of ASTC Passport Program institutions receive free admission covering two people. Tickets are sold online through exploratorium.edu, and hours are published on the venue's site.
