The Inside Scoop by our Local Expert
The Exploratorium in San Francisco, located next to the Palace of Fine Arts, calls itself "the museum of science, art and human perception." For those who thought that science and art could not coexist, the Exploratorium proves them wrong with exhibits about astronomy and space, culture, living things and listening. Each exhibit combines scientific and artistic ways of thinking such as the culture exhibit, which demonstrates how to make rock engravings from the past and how dance is a part of human culture. The Exploratorium is perfect for kids of all ages, even those who are only young at heart. Schools can arrange field trips and children can have their birthday parties at the Exploratorium to learn about the world around them. The best way to gain knowledge and have fun at the same time is through the hands-on activities provided by the Exploratorium.
