This video showcases a tiny sample of the things you'll see at the Explorarorium.
I've been a fan of the San Francisco Exploratorium for years. What a brilliant idea! Give artists an opportunity to illustrate principles of science - and do it in the form of play. I was able to get a look at the newest set of exhibits, GLOW, running through January of 2022 - light, color, and learning. Of course, all my favorites in the Tinkering section were there, especially Diesel Punk Pegasus.
Don't make the mistake of thinking the Exploratorium is just for kids and families. There are After Dark memberships for adults that are date night favorites. All the exhibits have an element of hand-on play, and there are dozens of them from the ephemeral to the biological. Don't miss it!
