Exploratorium
The Verdict
"Thursday After Dark evenings (18+) are the adult version and worth planning around. The Tactile Dome requires a separate reservation. Allow at least 3 hours."
What you need to know
The Exploratorium moved to Pier 15 on the Embarcadero in 2013. The Tactile Dome is a pitch-black crawl-through experience. The Bay Observatory offers views of the waterfront. After Dark events on Thursday evenings are 18+ with cocktails and special exhibits.
